Hi all,
We are trying to boot POSBOX v13 or v12 on the Raspberry PI 3, so we can print receipt tickets originating from the Odoo POS application which runs on a separate 64-bit Ubuntu server. Receipt printer is connected through USB.
What we did:
1) download latest posbox image from: http://nightly.odoo.com/trunk/posbox/
2) unzip the downloaded image on windows
3) format the SD card using diskpart
4) use Win32DiskImager to write the img to an 8 GB SD card
5) ensure the printer is powered on, and connected to the RPI 3
6) insert the SD card in the RPI 3 and power on the RPI 3
What happened?
1) The RPI 3 does not boot.
Testing alternatives:
1) When using images like for example Noobs, Raspbian the RPI 3 worked like a charm on all the different SD cards.
Questions:
1) Can POSBOX be installed or run on a RPI 3?
2) Is it because of 32bit or 64bit compatibility, As the older models were 32bit or the processors ARM are different from the older models?
Version posbox v14 is available: http://nightly.odoo.com/trunk/posbox/posbox_image_v14.zip
You can try username: pi password: raspberry
I cannot use the UI to connect wifi (I dont know why, maybe the image doesnot support UI). I tried this one: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md and run this command after finishing the configuration: sudo /sbin/wpa_supplicant -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.pid -i wlan0 \ -D nl80211,wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Everything is OK. BTW, when I reboot RPI , it also reset the configuration in the wpa_supplicant.conf. I have tried to find another way. Can you try and give me your feedback ?
ah I see, I have same problem, can not select any ESSID.
