Hello everyone. I think its time for me to give my testimonial for yesterday's hard work and time Pietro gave to me for my screwup of my new Da Vinci RPi4. After playing around with the RPi4, plus many fun matches, I started up the new Da Vinci RPi4 yesterday morning to a blank white screen. No connectivity could be made. I got on chat, with Pietro, and voiced my difficulties sometime in the morning for me. There were files, to burn on the sd card, yet they were too large to fit on the 16 GB sd card. He stuck with it to the late hours in Italy, to make and provide me a file that worked. My Da Vinci had the latest software, yet no update was available yet to download. Pietro worked hard to get an image, downloaded as a zip file, accessed through a link, arrived via email at around 7:30 PM here in Maine. Italy is quite a few hours ahead of here, EST. The new file is just small enough to use on the 16 GB original sd card. My Da Vinci is BACK! I cannot thank Pietro enough. Now I can show off this beauty from Certabo. Peace from Maine...Guy

Hello Guy

Our pleasure beauty of those devices are that you just need to reflash the micro sd and you are ready again!

We updated the DaVinci images in December with latest software and also optimised the size of the image so you it can fit on  majority of 16gb sdcard on the market. We found that some cards else if they are all 16gB they differ in size for few kB so sometime when you try to burn you may need to use a 32gb. So we used one with lowest capacity among the 16gb size  on market so when you burn will fit on all other 16gb you may have.

Latest image release 2.0 of DaVinci can be download from here if nedeed by anybody (will put also on download area shorthly too).

http://www.certabo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/DaVinci_2.0_Dec_2020.zip

In this version the analysis mode with Lc0 and Stockfish has been implemented and the release running on those is the 3,7.

Shorthly will have available the version 3.0 of DaVinci which will support the BT connection and emulator for your vintage rom too.

All the best

Pietro
