I'm testing a new release, 13.1.0 (32-bit) built on 5.10.77 kernel. It supports the new ZERO 2 W as well as all other boards. It will be available around a week.
-
That would be absolutely great!
Performance wise the PI ZERO 2 is a lot faster! (I installed Raspberry OS for now)

Hi bmarkus,
I saw the latest 13.1.0 land on the download site, thanks !
However, the kernel modules tcz in the repo (http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv6/tcz/) are not up-to-date, they still target old 5.10.16-piCore kernel.
Thanks,
Stelian.

Please recheck (empty cache, ...). It is there.

Hi bmarkus
I believe stelian was refering to extensions like:
alsa-modules-5.10.16-piCore.tcz, bluetooth-5.10.16-piCore.tcz, filesystems-5.10.16-piCore.tcz , etc. don't
have 5.10.77-piCore versions listed.

I wrote in the opening post these will follow in next days.

Hi,
Yes Rich is correct, I was talking about the *-5.10.77-piCore.tcz extension.
No problem I can wait a few days...
Thanks !
-
Which one you are looking for? I can start width.
-
wireless and alsa-modules please !
-
Thanks a lot !
May I suggest usb-serial-5.10.77 now ? :)

hello,
I am new in Tiny Linux, please tell where I can download the files to enable wifi o pi zero 2W.
Is it the same as other raspberry?
Thank

Hi vincenthure,
Follow my post on how to add wpa_supplicant which will provide you all you need to get wifi going:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,25294.msg161792.html#msg161792
You may want to scroll up above my post to get additional information.
As I found out when trying to get piCore to run on Rpi4b and CM4 boards, this forum has almost all the information you will need to solve problems, and very knowledgeable people with vast experience who are willing to help. So, don't hesitate to search.
TinyCoreLinux is a toolkit not a regular distribution. You need to invest time to learn the basics. Then you will find as I did, that this is an amazing tool that can do a lot for you!
Good luck to you,
WildCat

Hi
Did anyone managed to setup the WiFi?
I would be interested as well what firmware do I need to use.
Thanks
-
Wifi works perfectly fine on the Pi Zero 2 (using piCore-13.1.0 of course).
tce-load -wi wireless-5.10.77-piCore-v7 firmware-brcmwifi wifi
wifi.sh

tce-load -wi wireless-5.10.77-piCore-v7 firmware-brcmwifi wifi
wifi.sh
So weird. I have the exact same setup and No wifi devices found!
Can you post me the content of your /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/onboot.lst , please
-
Hi stelian
... tce-load -wi wireless-5.10.77-piCore-v7 firmware-brcmwifi wifi
wifi.sh
That should probably be:
tce-load -wi firmware-rpi-wifi wifiso that the firmware loads first. There is no reason to specify wireless-5.10.77-piCore-v7. When you load wifi.tcz , it
automatically loads wireless-KERNEL.tcz. The tce-load utility replaces the word KERNEL with the kernel version your
board is running. That way, the wireless modules you load will match the kernel you are running.
-
The firmware package is firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz

Hi Paul_123
Thanks for the correction. I'll fix my previous post.
-
Thank you
Wifi is working well.
Is it possible to access (ssh or http) to the wifi by hostname?
At this time it's working only by IP.
-
zero config is not installed by default.
From memory, adding this one little feature requires lots of dependencies.
-
Hello,
This is my 1st trial with Tiny Core. I installed this new 13.1.0 version to a RPi 3B+. I could install and configure almost everything that I need using tutorials and forums excluding wifi.
It was also configured but only works and detects access points on the network if the ethernet cable is connected. There is no problem if I use Raspbian. What could be wrong? I found and older topic about a similar problem but it was not helpful.
-
Are you using the built-in wifi?
Did you load the wifi firmware extension before any other extensions?
-
Yes, it is the built-in.
It is my onboot.lst:
openssh.tcz
firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz
firmware-rpi-wifi
wifi.tcz
TC.tcz
x11vnc.tcz
mc.tcz
firefox.tcz
I wrote something wrong (wrongly remembered). I see the access points when the ethernet cable is disconnected but can't connect. When I ping the wifi's IP address of my RPi from my PC it responds until the cable is plugged. When I unplug the cable It stops responding.
Ethernet and wifi use Fix IP. I tried wifi with DHCP but nothing change.
-
"sudo wifi.sh" should work with dhcp - do you see that the wifi firmware is successfully loaded in dmesg?
-
What should I exactly search in dmesg? It is very long and I can't identify what refers to wifi firmware.
What I tried: "tce-load -i firmware-rpi-wifi" and the same with wireless-KERNEL. Both sayes that already loaded.
With wifi.sh I disconnected from the router and connected again with dhcp. After checking the creditentals It connects with new IP but lost connection after I unplug the ethernet.
-
If wifi connects with a new ip address the firmware has loaded correctly.
If you start a connection on eth0, bring up wlan0 and then unplug eth0, I am not sure piCore will switch automatically from eth0 to wlan0.
-
I think you can hacking the metric of the interfaces to set the precedence.
-
Now I tried wifi without ethernet connected. RPi can connect to the router but there is no other communication. I can't ping neither from not toward RPi. Internet not accessible. I checked the router side too. It shows RPi connected in the client list. The same happens when the ethernet is connected at the begining then I unplug it. Wifi remains connected but communication stops.
-
I am not sure piCore will switch automatically from eth0 to wlan0.
It will not, there is not a network manager running. Its not really the interface, but something needs to manage the routing table to change the default route.

Unable to download wireless-5.10.77-piCore.tcz directly - just me or is the file not there?
-
Hi generalzero
It is listed in the ARMv6 repo:
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv6/tcz/
It appears to be missing in the ARMv7 repo.
It shows up in the ARMv7l repo as wireless-5.10.77-piCore-v7l.tcz:
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv7l/tcz/
It shows up in the ARMv8 repo as wireless-5.10.77-piCore-v8.tcz:
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/aarch64/tcz/
-
Odd, getting a 404 on it in the v6 one trying to download it.
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv6/tcz/wireless-5.10.77-piCore.tcz
After it for a Pi Zero 2 W.
-
Ah there we go, excellent!

Hi generalzero

You were correct. I just fixed it.

Hi Juanito
... It appears to be missing in the ARMv7 repo. ...
The files are present in the ARMv7 repo, but they don't show up here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/armv6/tcz/
I think it's because there's no .info file present.
-
Hi Juanito
ARMv7 repo fixed too.
