Will New Rpi3B+ work?
March 26, 2018 09:15AM
I guess the upgraded network capabilities are more than welcome for piratebox projects based on Pis.
Has anyone tried the new board with existing images?

Not myself. Currently I do not own a RP3B+ .
There might be a chance that the existing images are working, but I won't bet for that.

I might be getting a 3b+ within the next month. I ll report back if it boots ok.

Yes, it works if you do an update. I tried putting an sd card from a model 3b into the 3b+, and it didn't boot. I had to do an update (sudo pacman -Syu) first on the model 3b, then I could put the sd card into the 3b+ and it boots. I'm using the latest Piratebox image for the rpi, 1.1.4.

Thanks for the feedback.
I can prepare a new image, that we can support that version right out of the box.

The image is no yet rebuilt. I haven’t had time for that.
You need to run the current on a normal RPi, connect it to the internet and perform the command
 sudo pacman -Syu

After that you can shutdown the pi and use it at the new model. I try to create a new image as soon as I can.

Please report back, and I'll distribute the image via torrent and to the mirror servers.

If my new RP3+ arrives in the next few days I will give the PB a go.

I tried the new image, it boots fine on a rpi3b+, but my smartphone won't connect to the wifi and says "failed to obtain IP address".

Hi,
ok, the issue is that python was not installed during image generation.
I am fixing this now..

best regards Matthias

Funny, I fixed the issue exactly one month after releasing the updated image for testing
piratebox_rpi2_1.1.4-11-05-2018.img.zip

This one worked on my side with a RPi3 .

Please, If you have a RPI3+ , do a test and report back.

Thank you,
best regards Matthias

Hi,

piratebox_rpi2_1.1.4-11-05-2018.img.zip boots without any problems on my Rpi3B+. Wifi, board and fileshare works. No issues seen.

Thanks,

Hello

Just came here to say that I've tried the image and it works perfectly on the RPi3B+

I bought it today and I was looking for like 6 hours trying to get this to work and then I realized I could search the forum for some answers.

Thank you so much smiling smiley

I'll put a release of that image on my todo list for the next days.

I tried the piratebox_rpi2_1.1.4-11-05-2018.img on a r-pi3b+ and it worked, I can see the web page and ssh in.
