Hello gadgetoid,
last Sunday (20/08/2017) i ordered a “Pirate Radio” Kit and a “Hammer Header Kit”. The items got delivered yesterday. Today i put everything together using the hammer headers, which worked fine. I followed the tutorials on this site, trying to set everything up on the software side. On the first boot i also noticed that there is no status led blinking. I also was not able to get wifi working. So i popped my sd card into my pi3 and wifi worked just fine, so i used it to update the whole system via:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Back on my Pi0W, wifi was still not working.
dmesg | grep wlan
does not show any interface.
ifconfig -a
only shows the loopback lo.
After searching the web i found this thread and tested everything suggested on here:
My Pi0W also tells me to be an Pi Model B:
cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model
gives me:
Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2
Running sudo vcgencmd otp_dump also shows me this for line 30:
30:00000000
I’m afraid now that i also received one of those bad one-time-programmed units.
Do you have any suggestions i could try to get it working?
Thanks in advance.
