Title: piCore boot hangs on RPi4
Post by: landrykid on July 06, 2021, 04:23:13 PM

When booting piCore 13.0.1 on a RPi4, the public/private keys get created then it just hangs.  No command prompt.  I've successfully installed other distros on this board, so where did I goof with piCore?

Pressing Enter did not work.  I checked the keyboard on another computer, then downloaded and re-burned the image just to be sure.

The latest piCore is 13.0.3 and the latest piCore64 is 13.0 - did you try one of these?

How much ram does your RPi4 have (there used to be a problem with 32-bit and 8gb)?

I used "piCore-13.0.3.img" and my pi has 4GB.

I don't see piCore64 listed on the download page for Raspberry Pi's.  Am I missing something?  I thought it a bit odd there was only an armv6 folder when current pi's are armv8.

Hi landrykid
You can find piCore64 here:

Same problem.  Public/private keys are created through the ed25519_key, then the cursor flashes and nothing seems to get it going again.  Pressing Enter does not work.  I'm burning the microSD card with:

  sudo dd if=/path/to/file/piCore64-13.0.zip of=/dev/mmcblk bs=4M conv=fdatasync status=progress

Does anything look off?  This is how I usually burn distros.

Hi landrykid
Shouldn't that be:

Code: [Select]

unzip piCore64-13.0.zip
sudo dd if=piCore64-13.0.img of=/dev/mmcblk bs=4M conv=fdatasync status=progress

Ugh.  Of course.  I unzipped the earlier piCore image, but got sloppy here.  Thanks for catching it.

Use a different keyboard to test, or connect via ssh.

The only thing I'm aware of in piCore64 with keyboards is that the microsoft keyboard driver has a missing dependency.  They added a hard dependency to the force feedback module.
