Crash loading alsa.tcz on model B+

(1/3) > >>

Wazner:
Hello,

I would like to report a problem with the alsa.tcz extension when loaded on the Raspberry PI Model B+.
After loading the extension the system disconnects any USB devices and closes the ethernet port.

To reproduce:
1. Copy a fresh image of piCore-5.3.1 to your micro SD card.
2. Insert the SD card into your pi.
3. Insert an ethernet cable.
4. Boot up your pi.
5. Install alsa.tcz and it's dependencies by using the `tce` application.

Expected result:
Alsa.tcz is installed and can be used by other extensions (for example: SDL.tcz)

Actual result:
Alsa causes all USB devices to disconnect and the Ethernet connection to close.

The kmsg output:

--- Code: (output) ---<4> [  200.598930] pcm512x 1-004c: Failed to reset device: -5

<6> [  200.827587] usb 1-1.4: USB disconnect, device number 4

--- End code ---

Could this be because they changed the audio output ports on the B+ model?
Some help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

bmarkus:
What happenes when you boot system with already installed ALSA?

Wazner:
Thank you for your reply.

I'm not completely sure what you mean with: boot system with already installed ALSA.
After installing it with 'tce' none of my devices work (keyboard, mouse) anymore, so I can't gracefully shut it down or make a backup.
Closest I could get to what you asked for was to only download the tcz files, and then mark them as OnBoot.

When I boot with alsa already installed, the boot process continues without hassle.
But it still disconnects all USB ports and closes the ethernet connection.
Which basically makes the PC unusable.

EDIT
I've found out the ethernet port and all USB ports (and possibly the sound?) are connected through a single USB port.
Installing the alsa.tcz extension disconnects this port.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Hi Wazner

thanks for testing, you did what I mean. Sounds a firmware issue. I don't have B+ yet, can't try. Please download the latest firmware pack from

http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/armv6/releases/fwupdate/rpifw140806.tar.xz

and overwrite existing files on /mnt/mmcblk0p1 with new files. Let me know the result.

Wazner:
I unzipped the specified file, and copied the contents over to the SD card.
The pi booted as usual and I followed the steps I specified in my first post.
But without luck, it disconnects the USB connection again.
The LED lights on the Ethernet port also turn off (and stop blinking).

I'm going to try and install ALSA on a diffrent distro and see what happends (to rule out hardware failure).
I'll edit this post once I got results. (EDIT: Posted as a new post so anyone following this thread gets notified)

Thank you.
