First Time Booting

[peter@schou.be]

THAT was fast :-)

it is my impression that the boot sequence stops during initial start up (when the card is first inserted and power turned on.)

what is the bare minimum that the start up can be performed with (ie the wifi dongle must be present of cause, but is that also the case for the ads-b receiver ?

im just now making a total format and installion of the the 8 mb ram card and then installing the software, connecting to a screen with hdmi, how do i make screen dumps to you without a keyboard ?

Hi Again Lee

the unpacking stops about 50% done with the following

lot3i-rpi login license fail for eth0 b8:27:eb:95:46:81

and the repeats and the green light goes out

does this help ?, if not can i take a log from the memory card and send to you ?

Hi Peter,

This sounds like correct behavior.
The green light goes out because there is no further disk activity.

At this point, are you saying that there is no WiFi hotspot available PilotAware-xxxxxxxxxxxx ?

That would indicate an incompatibility with the WiFi dongle, although you say it is a Ralink RT5370 ?

Thx

Hi Peter,

(thanks for the screenshots)

The boot looks correct.

Do you see a wireless Hotspot called PilotAware-B827EB954681 ?

Thx
Lee

hi Lee
Nope, no hotspot what so ever, but i tested the wifi dongle on my pc, and it shows up all right as a wifi, however it requires login ?
but when in the pi i can't see it on my iPad mini 4
is there an error log on the card i can send you ?

I am a little confused ....

but i tested the wifi dongle on my pc, and it shows up all right as a wifi

How did you test the WiFi Dongle, as a Client or as a Soft Access Point ?
These are 2 different modes, which require different configuration.

however it requires login ?

This really confuses me, what requires a login, and from where ?

Thx
Lee

sorry let me try to clarify (english is not my native language, im Danish :-)
 
i normally work on a mac book air, but i couldn't see the wifi dongle when i inserted it into the mac usb port. i then tried to insert it on a PC i have, and i could see it there, but when i double clicked it i got a request for a password.

(could it be because it works as a access point ?) (be aware it is connected to the pc via an usb hub
when trying to connect to the usb wifi on win 10 (it has the name said-CHkk) and i double click it im asked to type in the security key for the network :-) it also states that i can press a button on the router ??

Raspberry PI 2B

This isn't guaranteed to work. A B+ is specified in the hardware requirements. Over the past few months some people have got Pi 2s working, but I'm not sure the current status. I believe Lee put in some code to make it more likely to work, but the PAW is generally designed to work on the B+.

[peter@schou.be]

could it be the fan on pin 2&3 that is causing it ?

Not sure, but the Pi 2 isn't supported, only the Pi 1 B+.

hi Paul
ok, ill try to return the pib 2, but the production is already ver. 4 (pib- b, 2b, 3b) eventually i expect that the pib b will discontinue, what then.

is there any chance that there will be software in the near future that will support 2b ?, as returning the units cost almost the same a buying them :-(

pleased to hear and all the best.

Hi Peter, Paul

Actually the pi 2B is fine I have now been using this for all my dev work, there was a race issue with the networking startup which is now resolved, so I think this is un related

Thx

hi Lee
