PicoChess v3 RPiOS64 Image

[RandyR]

As promised, I have uploaded a new 64-bit Bullseye version of my Desktop image. It is set up for stand-alone but can be used in a DGTPi with certain changes. See the Read_Me.txt file (enclosed in the archive) for details and limitations. It is intended for those using a monitor, but should be able to be used headless as well (SSH or VNC). My RPi4-8GB had a 4-inch touchscreen attached so not sure how well it would work with no monitor. It's possible a dummy display may need to be created in headless configs.

Here is the link:

Hi Randy,

Does this img contain the dark web theme as well as the newer engines?

Best,

Chris

[Randy Reade]

Hi Chris.

No, just a few that I compiled quite a while ago - Stockfish 12, lc0, RodentIV, Maia, and the Honey NNUE group. And a few freely available MAME roms.

If you want to be able to use the 32-bit engines in the armv7l folder, you'll need some armhf libraries. I just tested this and they all work (even DirkM's pgn_engine :^) ). Enter the following commands in a terminal:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6:armhf libatomic1:armhf libstdc++6:armhf libopenblas-dev:armhf zlib1g:armhf libxcb1:armhf

Of course, they will need to be added to the engines.ini file to be available to PicoChess. I would suggest making a folder in /opt/picochess/engines/aarch64 called 32bit, moving the <engine> and <engine.uci> files there, and then reference them in the engines.ini file as e.g. [32bit/a-stockf], etc. I would expect they won't run as fast as native aarch64 compiles. If someone wants to test, feel free.

Randy

[RandyR]

Sorry, Chris. I forgot to answer your first question - no, it does not contain the dark theme or any other enhancements from the PicoChessWeb development.

Randy

[Dirk Sommerfeld]

THX Randy,

I will first make a last 32Bit Image with new features and fixes last week when I'm back from hospital.

Than I will convert the actual picochessweb to the 64 Bit OS. First with 32 Bit engine support and if Al helps to compile some engines , change this step by step.

Goal is a xmas version in 64Bit.

Dirk

[Scally]

Hi Dirk S,

I’m on it …💻

Al.

[Randy Reade]

[RandyR]

I did a quick benchmark of Stockfish 15 to gauge the performance of using 64-bit. I used the commands 'stockfish bench 32 1 13' and 'stockfish bench 32 4 13' on both compiles (non-embedded NNUE) on my RPi4-8GB (not overclocked):

Stockfish 15 (32-bit)

Stockfish 15 (64-bit)

1 core

Total time (ms) : 20014
Nodes searched  : 7779466

4 cores

Total time (ms) : 19714
Nodes searched  : 22625460

Well worth the effort in this case.

[Scally]

Hi Randy,

When I run bench of the 32bit binary on the 64 bit system the figures are a lot closer.

Did you compile 64bit Stockfish using ‘profile-build ARCH=armv8’ or something else?

Al.

[Randy Reade]

Hi Al,

I used the following 'CXXFLAGS="-DNNUE_EMBEDDING_OFF -mtune=cortex-a72 -march=armv8-a" make -j2 profile-build ARCH=armv8' for the 64-bit build and used your 32-bit compile for comparison.

Due to a lack of cloud space I have had to remove the old link to the 64-bit image. Here is the new link:

Picov3RPiOS64.img.7z

Hopefully the link works for you.

Note that if you have an RPi4 wired to the DGT3000 (or modified the DGTPi for the RPi4) it will not function. Al and I are troubleshooting the dgtpicom.c code but don't hold your breath. If anyone knows about programming the RPi hardware in C and has the setup described, the files can be viewed on Lucas' Github site.

Hi Randy, 

good news: your RPIOS64 image works flawlessly on my Revelation which is emulating the DGT3000 meaning I can operate Picochess with the standard buttons of the Revelation! No timing issues here obviously.

Thanks again for the image. When I have time I will doublecheck in my MolliPi if there the button have the timing issue like in the Standard DGTPI with an PI4.

Dirk

[RandyR]

Hi Dirk,

You might have to lower the frequency down from 500 MHz in config.txt on your MolliPi if you don't see a display. See this thread. Al had a similar issue but don't know if he tried that. Unfortunately, it won't fix the button issue. I hope someone fluent in C and understands Pi I2C can adapt the code for dgtpicom so it can work in the DGTPi. But using the web interface works great so PicoChessWeb will work fine. :^)

Hello 64Bit Picochess-Users ;-)

when I try to start a mame/mess engine eg. ./montreux  I get the following error:

/opt/picochess/engines/mame_emulation/mess: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Widgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The lib is definitely on my system and up to date:

pi@picochess:~/picochess/engines/mame_emulation $ whereis libQt5Widgets.so.5

libQt5Widgets.so: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libQt5Widgets.so.5 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libQt5Widgets.so

Dows anybody has an idea what is missing/wrong on my system?

Thanks

Dirk

[Dieter]

Hello Dirk,

I don't use Randy's 64-bit image, but have created my own 64-bit system based on the official Raspberry image (Link). Both, Montreux and the Risc2500, which is identical in terms of programming, run flawlessly for me. I am attaching 2 pictures. Once Montreux in the Putty console and once Montreux via VNC. I compiled Mess myself for 64 bit, which I can send you, but unfortunately it's too big as an attachment. Maybe it's because of your Mess version.

Greetings
Dieter

[Dieter]

Sorry, the link doesn't work. Here in plain text: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-64-bit

[Dirk]

Hi Dieter,

thanks for your input. 

But Before I install all manually again I will try to figure out what is missing. Maybe Randys image was also working fine with mame/mess before I added the multi architecture enhancement to be able to run 32 bit engines as well (see Randys post in the beginning: 

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libc6:armhf libatomic1:armhf libstdc++6:armhf libopenblas-dev:armhf zlib1g:armhf libxcb1:armhf) 

Have you also added this to run 32 bit engines? 

Thanks

Dirk

[RandyR]

Hi Dirk,

I just tested montreux on my RPiOS64 image and it runs fine also. It's using the older mess v0.226. The library is located in the same location as you. Did you compile/use a newer version? It's possible the makefile used a specific QT_HOME entry?

Randy

[RandyR]

I'll test after adding the armhf architecture and report back...

Randy

[Dieter]

>>> Have you also added this to run 32 bit engines? 

Yes, I also installed the armhf libraries. In the meantime I have compiled almost all freely accessible sources for aarch64. But there are some engines, for which I couldn't find any sources or which I couldn't compile. And that's why this tip from Randy is very useful. Thanks a lot for this! :)

Dieter

[RandyR]

Just realized I already had the armhf architecture installed. So, that's not the issue Dirk.

Randy

[Dirk]

Ok Randy was right: I used a "wrong" mess executable (I think the old 32 Bit one). Now my mame engines run again!

Thank you bot Dieter & Randy.

Ah Dieter: regarding your 64 bit engine compilations: I would be interested in these  (and maybe the community as well I think).

Do you have a chance to upload your compiled engines to a shared drive somewhere?

All engines packed as rar: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjgwD0o06jN7jKU-aF50qx_sJRdaIA?e=JWObEe

Some things are in German, but can be changed slightly. For this reason I do not offer my image for download, because I have adapted a lot of things for my personal needs.

Dieter

[Randy Reade]

That's wonderful, Dieter.

Thanks for sharing.

Randy

[Dirk]

Incredible, Dieter - exactly what I was looking for since I tried the 64 Bit image.

Big thanks to Dieter for all these engines and Randy for the image!

Dirk

[Dirk]

The mame/mess version in Randys image is version 0.226.

Do we have a newer mame compilation for 64 bit  (I think the current version is 0.251)?

Although no new chess computers have been added it is worth trying out newer versions because of bug fixes, performance optimization etc.

Dirk

[gkalab]

I'm using a recent 64-bit mame binary from here: https://stickfreaks.com/mame/

The speed parameter works with this version although my raspberry pi 3b is too slow for it.

Gerhard

[Dirk]

Ah cool - thanks Gerhard.

Wow - that’s fantastic!

Thanks again Dieter!

As I can see the only difference from 64 to 32 bit from a picochess post of view is that WINE is not running under 64 bit so we can’t use the (very few) windows 32 engines directly (but as a remote engine which I still have to test..).

[Dieter]

I haven't installed the Wine/Box extension in either my 32 bit image or my 64 bit image because I don't see the benefit for the few working engines. I have all my commercial engines running perfectly as a 64-bit variant via the remote function. Even if you have to leave your tablet or notebook running - but my notebook is almost always running anyway... :)

Dieter

[Dirk]

Yes Dieter, I think this is the best solution I will do the same. 

And even better: this means that the remote engines do work under 64b bit ;-))))

I cleaned up a bit. All my 64-bit compilations can now be found at the following link. The old links no longer work. I also included the 64-bit versions of obooksrv and tcscid (gamesdb). This means, that Picochess should run completely under 64-bit images...

Thank you so much Dieter!

[Dieter]

I had to update something...
In the Engines_64bit.rar I added two nnue files that are required by some engines, including Stockfish. Also the arasan.rc required by Arasan.

It is precisely for this reason that I have held back from sharing so far, because it always ends in work afterwards. What works for me, may cause problems for others. Ask Randy or Dirk S., who have been struggling with these problems with their shared images for a long time. ;)

Dieter

[Dirk]

Hi Randy,

today I tried your image in my DGTPI/Molli with internal PI4. Unfortunately no luck at all.

This is what I did:

1. in picochess.ini dgtpi = true

2. enable dgtpi service

Tried booting but no display on clock

3. changed boot/config.txt and restricted to 500Mhz (and later to 250) and then commented out again

[pi4]
# Run as fast as firmware / board allows
#arm_boost=1
core_freq=500
core_freq_min=500

Still no luck.

When I try to run picochess manuaklly it gets stuck somewhere in

 File "/opt/picochess/dgt/pi.py", line 57, in _startup_i2c_clock

but no error message.

When I try to display something on the display via 

/opt/picochess/etc/dgtpicom "  DGT  PI  " 1

I get no output and no beep (with and without frequency changes).

I guess wat least with a PI4 inside the DGTPI we have no luck with the timing problems and 64bit.

And you will have to use sudo dgtpicom.

But as the buttons most probably wouldn’t work correctly I will stay on 32 bits in my MolliPi - that’ not a big deal.

Hi Dirk,

I had a similar experience at the beginning of December. 

Randy and I tried all sorts of things conversing by email, but I could never get 64bit working on my ScallyPi

Al

[Randy Reade]

No. It's already using Lucas's 64-bit attempt.

I just retested by moving the 64-bit image from my Pi4 into the DGTPi. Initial boot is no display because dgtpi = true commented out (and dgtpi.service disabled) but picochess starts and I also get the display and beep if I enter sudo /opt/picochess/etc/dgtpicom "   DGTP|" 1.

Enabling dgtpi.service, setting dgtpi = true, and uncommenting the core_freq=250 and core_freq_min=250 lines in config.txt and all is fine (except for the button inputs on the clock).

Must be something unique to the Pi4? But, the fix is really in figuring out the 64-bit I2C access in dgtpicom. Hopefully someone can solve that.

Randy

[Dirk]

Hi Al,

yes looks like our special DGTPIs are way too special for 64 bit - but this means we will keep our windows/wine engines at least in this device ;-)

Dirk

[Dirk]

Yep - must be something PI4 specific.

Thanks Randy and Al for helping anyway.

I am happy with all my devices as tehy are at the moment - it was just a try!

Dirk

[Randy Reade]

Just to be sure, attached is a copy of my dgtpicom, dgtpicom.so and config.txt. If you want to compare or try them make dgtpicom executable.

Randy

[Dirk]

Thanks Randy - I will check them later...

Breaking (good) news:

I was able to run windows32 engines on RPiOS64 !!!!!!

I did install box86,box64 and wine according to these instructions on Rnadys image:

https://medium.com/@safiuddinkhan/how-to-install-box86-box64-and-wine-on-raspberry-pi-os-bullseye-64-bit-c88028052f8c

Unfortunantely I still get lots of error messages (don't know if something is missing in Randys image for this) when starting a windows engine but picochess does not bother:

I tried a windows compilation of Sargon 1:

Hi Dirk,

I had tried Sargon v1.00 before but it wasn’t very good. I see that v1.01 was released a few days ago and it’s a massive improvement.

I just tested it under wine & box on my 32bit system without problems, with a setting of FixedDepth 3 it took me to an end-game where it made mistakes, so I was able to win.

I can’t comment on the 64bit system as I’ve given up on it, it’s no use to me if I can’t use a RPi4 inside an DGT Pi, i.e. my “Scally Pi”

Cheers,

Al

[Dirk]

Hi Al,

yes playing against this Sargon engine is fun for me as well. 

I am still trying to win against FixedDepth = 3  so congrats you were faster than me ;-)

Dirk

[Scally]

Hi Dirk,

Yeah great fun. I had a strong book set earlier, on setting no book, I can beat FixedDepth 3 in 20-25 moves every time.

However FixedDepth5 is no pushover. I managed to draw a pawn down in a bishops of opposite Color ending.

It’s a great engine for some Fischer 5,3 practice

Cheers,

Al.

[Dirk]

Hi Randy,

I am using your 64 Bit image for testing purpose stand alone together with my Rev2 (and picochess 3.1 of course)

All seems to wokr fine now but I have a sound problem as well - maybe you have an hint for me.

I am using the headphone speakers in the 3.5 jack and I can hear all sounds but can't change the volume. I remember we already had this issue.

With alsamixer I checked: headphone  is seletec (or I selected it) but changing the volume there has also no effect like changing via picochess (voice volume).

there is no etc/asound.conf file and I have no idea what else I could try...

Thanks

Dirk

[Randy Reade]

You can see what the default sound card is by using:

pacmd list-sinks

The index with the (*) asterisk is the selected output for the pi user. You can check for root but it's a bit tricky:

sudo su

Then quickly execute the following commands to start pulseaudio for root (it will complain but still start it, and it will run for a few seconds).

pulseaudio

then quickly:

pacmd list-sinks

That will show you where sound goes when using PicoChess. You can then exit the su prompt:

exit

And use the command:

sudo aplay -l

to see which volume needs adjusting. Use sudo alsamixer to adjust (F6 will change cards). I had to use PCM on my display. Ghislain added it to his repo (dgt/menu.py).

I hope this helps.

Ahhhhh - that's it, Randy. PCM was the right key word.

One of my last commit regarding the menu options reverted the PCM enhancement in Ghislains repo.

I added PCM in my 64 Bit image and now it works!!!!

I will update the code and create a pull request for Ghislain in order to revert back the PCM support in menu.py.

Thank you Randy!

Thank you.

Here are the links to the engines:

All engines individually: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjgwD0o06jN7jKNY1TQSSvYK2krj9w?e=PlFv10

All engines packed as rar: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjgwD0o06jN7jKU-aF50qx_sJRdaIA?e=JWObEe

Some things are in German, but can be changed slightly. For this reason I do not offer my image for download, because I have adapted a lot of things for my personal needs.

Ok Randy was right: I used a "wrong" mess executable (I think the old 32 Bit one). Now my mame engines run again!

Thank you bot Dieter & Randy.

Ah Dieter: regarding your 64 bit engine compilations: I would be interested in these  (and maybe the community as well I think).

Do you have a chance to upload your compiled engines to a shared drive somewhere?

Thanks

Dirk

Just realized I already had the armhf architecture installed. So, that's not the issue Dirk.

Hi Dieter,

thanks for your input. 

But Before I install all manually again I will try to figure out what is missing. Maybe Randys image was also working fine with mame/mess before I added the multi architecture enhancement to be able to run 32 bit engines as well (see Randys post in the beginning: 

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libc6:armhf libatomic1:armhf libstdc++6:armhf libopenblas-dev:armhf zlib1g:armhf libxcb1:armhf) 

Have you also added this to run 32 bit engines? 

Thanks

Dirk
