This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!

[waynejacobsen]

I would of thought this issue would have been resolved by now, but on a PI3 using install python2.7-dev, which solved my can't find python.h problem - thanks, I get this error. Help is needed please.

pi@raspberrypi:~/python $ sudo python PIstuffing.py

I am running into the exact same issue, with my Pi 3. Has anyone found a solution to this?

[waynejacobsen]

Pi 3 is a raspberry pi. Do you mean a particular modle?

Wayne, the Raspberry Pi 3 gets the error message generated by line 533 of source/c_gpio/py_gpio.c

PyErr_SetString(PyExc_SystemError, "This module can only be run on a Raspberry Pi!");

I am running a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. The hardware changes are such that I cannot figure out how to replicate Cor Cornelisse's 9/10/2014 commit, which was designed to add support for the RPi 2B, to add support for the RPi 3B.

I have tried adding Pi3 support in my PR, in addition to Pi2 (for both GPIO and PWM). I have only validated on a Pi2 (don't have a Pi3), but I believe Pi3 support should be almost if not already working in my v2 branch.
Can you test it?

[waynejacobsen]

I would be happy to but, understand I'm old and slow. I could send you my pi3 on the basis that you will return it when finished. I'll pay round trip postage.

Yackou, I'm trying to figure out how to clone your RPIO V2 on my Pi3 for testing. Attempting this:

git clone https://github.com/Yackou/RPIO/tree/v2/RPIO.git

is giving me a fatal repository not found error.

[waynejacobsen]

Ill try v2 tomorrow on pi3

@joshuabaldwin:
The following commands should work:
git clone https://github.com/Yackou/RPIO.git
cd RPIO
git checkout v2

1. What about pip?
2. Do we always need root for this?

I have faced the same problem, this solution make it work:
First need to be sure that header files and static libraries for python dev. installed properly:
sudo apt-get install python-dev # for python2.x installs
sudo apt-get install python3-dev # for python3.x installs
Then try to install RPIO branch v2, it will work with RPI3.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/metachris/RPIO.git --branch v2 --single-branch
cd RPIO
sudo python setup.py install

This helped me to install RPIO for several RPI3s.

This looks like a duplicate of #78

RPi3 in 64bit mode doesn't work.

I assume because /proc/cpuinfo has slightly changed to not have any information on what board you're using.

Neither @Yackou nor @VSkublin solution works for me.
