Hello,

I have upgraded four of our systems from brickd 2.4.5 -> 2.4.6, and brickd stopped responding on all of them:

<I> <main_linux.c:385> Brick Daemon 2.4.6 started (architecture: arm, pid: 25228, daemonized: 1)
<I> <main_linux.c:391> Running on Linux system (sysname: Linux, release: 6.1.21-v7+, version: #1642 SMP Mon Apr  3 17:20:52 BST 2023, machine: armv7l)

<E> <bricklet_stack_linux_spidev.c:263> Could not find line GPIO7
<I> <main_linux.c:579> Brick Daemon 2.4.6 stopped

These systems are all Raspberry Pi 3 Model A Plus Rev 1.0 with a HAT Brick.

Downgrading to brickd 2.4.5 fixed the problem on all four systems, for now.

Is this a known issue?

Yes, this is a known issue that we recently discovered. Please keep using brickd 2.4.5 for RPi 1-4 until we can fix the issue.

Hello all

Thank you for the information. I have the same problem and like to downgrade to 2.4.5, but get an error when trying to do that:

sudo apt install brickd=2.4.5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '2.4.5' for 'brickd' was not found

How can i fix that?

 

Ok, found it. How I did it (perhaps would help others):

wget https://download.tinkerforge.com/tools/brickd/linux/brickd-2.4.5_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg --install brickd-2.4.5_armhf.deb
rm brickd-2.4.5_armhf.deb

Found a workaround

@zbindenp That is exactly what I did. Thanks for sharing the write up.

This would be an excellent opportunity for reviving the near-dead blog. Write two lines informing us about the (avoidable) problem and the fix. RSS is our friend.

Please try the attached brickd version:

sudo dpkg -i brickd_2.4.7_armhf.deb

brickd_2.4.7_armhf.deb

brickd_2.4.7_arm64.deb

It works here.

Works here also. RasperryPi Zero with RaspberryPiOS bullseye

brickd 2.4.7 is now available from our APT server.

I get the message “Brick Daemon 2.4.7 stopped”
I'm working on a Rasbarry Py5 and have already tested version 2.4.6. Same error on this version.
Can you maybe help me?

PS: I tried out on Ubuntu, do I need to switch to pyos?

Where do you get this message?

Could you please show the full output of the command "systemctl status brickd", the command "uname -a", the command "gpioinfo" and attach the /var/log/brickd.log file from your Raspberry Pi?

I switched to Pyos and everything works now.
Anyway, thanks for helping.
