looks like Arch is different enough, can you ask the Arch maintainers how you would know what chip its running on? cause as-is, CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0xd03 CPU revision : 4
is not enough to determine the raspberry pi in use!

Hello, same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 server for arm64 and pi 3 b, same /proc/cpuinfo output as opening post. Is the advice the same for me (go ask Ubuntu maintainers how to determine chip)? Thank you.
from adafruit_blinka.
yep! ask them "how can i tell what raspberry pi am i on"
we have it working on raspbian just fine but ubuntu & arch put that detail elsewhere :/

I managed to find a file called /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/cpus/cpu@0/compatible which lists the processor as 'arm,cortex-a53'. The problem is that both the pi 2 v1.2 and the pi 3 use the same processor... Is there any chance you could use something like the frequency (the pi 2 chip has a default lower clock) to determine the board? Edit: running lshw
lists the board directly as a Pi 3 model B. Do you think you could use that or do you need the folder that houses this info?
from adafruit_blinka.
close but not enough, we need something more specific if possible!
from adafruit_blinka.
Ok what about the lswh
command (my edit above)? It doesn't get much more specific than "Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 1.2"...
from adafruit_blinka.
sure, thats good enough - can you submit a PR to add that to
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_PlatformDetect
once we can detect it, then blinka will automatically work
from adafruit_blinka.
Hello again. I got some code working (hopefully not too crude, I'm a total novice) to detect the pi version on my platform, and was about to put together that pull request, but ran into another issue: now that my platform is detected, the line from RPi._GPIO import *
fails saying "This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!" So apparently something else now fails to detect the platform and breaks. I can't seem to find where the enigmatic RPi._GPIO
lives so I don't know how to fix that.
I will try to get the pull request underway, but it doesn't seem like it'll fix the problem completely.

does RPi GPIO python library work on your pi?
from adafruit_blinka.
Apparently not. Running import RPi.GPIO
results in the same error. Do I need to go modify the RPi.GPIO's platform detection code to work on my setup?
from adafruit_blinka.
yep you got a lot of work ahead of you - most things wont work on non-raspbian. we really only guarantee it (and so does the pi foundation)
from adafruit_blinka.
I see, thanks for your help.

I mentioned this problem here: #130
On 3B+, since /proc/cpuinfo doesn't give anything useful on mainline arm64 kernels.) Though that is addressed in part in gpio-python here https://sourceforge.net/p/raspberry-gpio-python/tickets/161/ by looking at cat /proc/device-tree/system/linux,revision | xxd
on some arm64 systems, though not on mainline kernels, though /proc/device-tree/model seems to be always useful:
On 3B
cat /proc/device-tree/model
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
On 3B+
cat /proc/device-tree/model
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3
The sourceforge link has a patch which can be used to get gpio-python working on arm64:
sudo apt install mercurial
sudo pip3 install --upgrade hg+http://hg.code.sf.net/p/raspberry-gpio-python/code#egg=RPi.GPIO
from adafruit_blinka.
On Arch latest (as of 2019-12-26), on a Raspberry Pi 3B (non-plus):
[alarm@alarm base]$ uname -a
Linux alarm 5.4.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP Mon Dec 23 09:59:08 MST 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux
I got these strings that are quite handy, off the devicetree:
[alarm@alarm ~]$ cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model ; echo
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
[alarm@alarm ~]$ cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/compatible ; echo
raspberrypi,3-model-bbrcm,bcm2837
[alarm@alarm ~]$

PR's to platform-detect are welcome...we dont run anything other than Raspbian :)
from adafruit_blinka.
Raspberry pi 4 board is also not detected on openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi4.aarch64-2020.01.08-Snapshot20200115
https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi4
from adafruit_blinka.
@mruz thanks, we aren't running openSUSE - if you could PR an update to platform-detect to help it know what its running on, blinka will 'magically' work :)

This was fixed in an update to PlatformDetect. Closing.
