Crashing on RPi 2, Edimax, HiFiBerry since summer

Help and Support Help

I’ve been trying to upgrade since late summer 2019 versions. After years of fairly easy use, I neglected to record the last version that worked for me. But, I’m seeing consistent crashes for the last several versions including 2.668, 2019-11-14.

The behavior is fairly simple…

  • Flash a 8GB card with the version
  • Install card
  • Power up
  • Volumio comes up as does the ‘volumio’ ssid network
  • Attempts to join that network fail (using password ‘volumio2’)

Immediately upon joining the volumio network, the Pi crashes.

System:
Raspberry Pi 2B
Sandisk 8GB SD card
HiFiBerry DAC+ v. 2.3
Edimax EW-7811Un (edimax.com/edimax/merchandi … ew-7811un/)
(RTL8188CU based)

This configuration has been stable for me FOR YEARS.

Here’s more fun…

Retrying with a different card (16GB Samsung) and Balena is reporting the image as corrupt.

Any ideas?

oh… and I’m powering the box from a bench supply that can deliver up to 10A (50W), so power should not be an issue

SOLVED-

reflashed again and set up over ethernet. THEN used that setup to connect to WiFi.

Seems like the problem may be in the switch from AP to connected SSID.
