Raspiblitz: Change of hardware RBP (From B to B+)

Created on 2 Jan 2019  路  7Comments  路  Source: rootzoll/raspiblitz

So I tryed switching to a model b+ from b, same SD card, SSD and screen. Node was running and synced on the b. But when I start it up I come to the sync screen :
Lightning Filtering Blockchain
Progress : ?/ (Weird)
please wait etc etc...

and also this keeps looping :

./00mainMenu.sh: line 97: 25523 Illegal instruction sudo -u bitcoin ${network}-cli -datadir=/home/bitcoin/.${network} getblockchaininfo > /dev/null 2> error.tmp
tail: cannot open '/mnt/hdd/lnd/logs/bitcoin/net/lnd.log' for reading: No such file or directory
tail: cannot open '/mnt/hdd/lnd/logs/bitcoin/net/lnd.log' for reading: No such file or directory

(standard_in) 1: syntax error
tail: cannot open '/mnt/hdd/lnd/logs/bitcoin/net/lnd.log' for reading: No such file or directory

Any ideas? :) I think it should work its just a new RBP.

What is the contents of:
/home/admin/raspiblitz.log
/home/admin/raspiblitz.info
The 3B+ will need different firmware. What do you see here:
sudo ls -al /boot | grep bcm
It should include bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb

Also, see this thread for upgrading from 3B to 3B+.
In general always wise to search the RPI forums when it's RPI related (wink-wink): https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1400579#p1400483

Thanks for the answer. Sorry I didnt think of that lol I thought it was raspiblitz releated only but ofc ppl upgrade other builds to.

The failure you saw is because raspiblitz.info has "network=" where is should be "network=bitcoin" and should also contain "chain=main".
I think but not sure this is because the Raspiblitz boot script over-writes this file after every reboot.
Is your HDD connected and has your synced blockchain?
You might want to try running the following commands which worked for me when I was having problems. Minimally at least it will get you onto the latest Raspiblitz code/scripts:
// download XXupdateScripts script
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/master/home.admin/XXupdateScripts.sh
// run it
sudo chmod +x XXupdateScripts.sh
sudo ./XXupdateScripts.sh
reboot then follow the setup prompts

Keep in mind I had to fix a small problem that was keeping my system from completely coming up upon reboot: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/236#issue-395107835

If this doesn't work you might have to do a complete new install via SD card re-write.

Jepp HDD is connected and sync just before i switched pie.

Well that didnt work, same text looping..

Thanks for the help anyway :+1: :) I might keep the B on the node and do something else with the b+ !

You could try this. Edit the /home/admin/raspiblitz.info file so it looks like:

state=ready
network=bitcoin
chain=main
setupStep=0

Then run ./10setupBlitz.sh

close this issue if you're not going to go on with it. Thanks.
