Hello,
After upgrading to DietPi v151 last night wiringPi has stopped working. I get an error message about an unsorported Raspberry Pi. I’m running on a Pi3
Any ideas why?
kellis@HomePi:~/script $ gpio -v
gpio version: 2.32

Unable to determine hardware version. I see: Hardware : BCM2835

If this is a genuine Raspberry Pi then please report this

Hi Keith,
This is a “bug” in the current RPi 4.9 kernel. Basically they changed which BCM HW ID gets returned:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2008
We either need to wait for a fix from RPi (then updated our kernel), or, if this is now intended results, inform WiringPi of the change in kernel.
I see dietpi installs version 2.32 of wiringPi. If I manually upgrade to the latest version of wiringPi 2.44 it seems to work fine. Can you update DietPi to use wiringPi 2.44?
Now I’ve manually upgraded wiringPi will this break future DietPi updates?
Cheers,
Keith.
Hi Keith,
Thanks for the heads up.
Your current installation will be fine, we will patch a reinstall during v152 update, to resolve this issue with outdated Wiring Pi on 4.9 kernel:
