I had success using the older version 2018.02 , but after updating it to 2018.03 im having some issue with the raspi3-firmware ... I tried reinstalling 3 times and downloading it again, it looks like everytime the firmware file is empty, and so dpkg shows an error everytime i try to use apt-get update, upgrade, install, etc...
The error comes because of a change made in the 2018.3 release to use the Debian package for the firmware. Unfortunately, there was never an update during the process of adding it so I never ran into the issue before release.
There is a workaround, to at least get rid of the error.
You'll want to add the following to /etc/fstab:
At the bottom, and then simply run "mount /boot/firmware" (or reboot) and re-run the update.Code:tmpfs /boot/firmware tmpfs rw 0 0
This allows the package to update, which is good, but does not copy the new files into place.
Debian uses a different mounting layout than we do, and their check is for /boot/firmware to be mounted, instead of just /boot.
Once the update succeeds, you will want toto use the new firmware.Code:cp /usr/lib/raspi3-firmware/* /boot/
The same happened with me :( THNX!
