I am hoping there will be someone here who can help a newbie.  My setup is:

RPi 4 8GB ram with CBRIDGE 64 image
RPi zero 1 v1.1 (x4) with 32 image (1-4)
all images from original site.

Power up for RPi 4 works as per normal, ssh into via wifi... but pi is connected ethernet as well.  using the trouble shooting from this link: https://8086.support/content/23/115/en/troubleshooting-missing-pi-zeros-in-a-clusterhat.html?highlight=trouble

I can see the hub, and I can see the individual RPi zeros, but then they disappear and there is not ttyACM* to access... not sure what I am missing.  If I have not provided details pls let me know and I will get them... 

Hope to have this cluster figured out soon...

Thank you

Chris Burton

Hi,

Do you know the filename of the images you tried, was it one linked from https://clusterctrl.com/setup-software or from the testing directory? If it was testing then I'd try one linked from the setup-software page.

If you saw the four "...Driver=, 12M"  lines in step 6 without the SD cards in the Pi Zeros then I would try re-imaging the SD cards again for P1-P4. Then after putting them back in and powering on the Pi Zeros wait for maybe 30-60 minutes to see if the cards are just really slow. Do you see the LED on the Pi Zeros themselves flickering after they've been powered on?

If you see the LED flickering but don't see either the ttypiX or ethpiX devices after say 60 minutes, power off the Pi Zero and put the SD cards in a reader and let me know the contents of cmdline.txt and cmdline.old (if it exists) in the boot partition.

Chris.
