failed to start autohotspot.servic. when a valid ssid is in range

[Scott]

Hello

I have commented before that I am having issues with Digipi locking up and my SD cards die. I now know that teh enclosure where I place my Pi is getting very hot and damming my PI and SD card so I will build some ventilation and try again. 

I loaded onto a R PI 3 B ver 1.2 using an SD with 2.1-3 img. When I boot the Pi I get an error 

failed to start autohotspot.servic. when a valid ssid is in range

I am observing this on an hdmi display. 

Any suggestions? 

I did check

Yes, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B version 1.2 fully supports broadcasting a Wi-Fi hotspot. [1, 2]

Its built-in Broadcom BCM43438 wireless chip natively supports Access Point (AP) mode. This allows the Pi to act exactly like a traditional Wi-Fi router, accepting wireless incoming connections from devices like phones or laptops. [1, 2, 3, 4]

My next step is to regression to older releases of DpI

Thanks

Hi Scott,

The raspberry 3B is not supported (nor Zero,  nor 2A, or any single-core processor).

The 3B+ is supported, along with the Zero2W, 4, 5, 3A+, or any multi-core processor.

What you're seeing is expected.

if it helps,

Curious.  My Model B has 4 cores.
