Hello !
On this morning, after some huge struggle (24h hours to figure out i forgot the blank space in the folder names), i finally got my samplerbox to work, with the Pi 3 nude (usb keyboard and usb storage only).
Now, i'v plugged the switch and the display, and the pi doesn't boot propperly anymore, all i get is this line :
[8.669431] uart-pl011 3f201000 .uart: no DMA platform data

Any idea how to solve this ?

I unplugged everything, except a HDMI screen, and i keep getting this error, despite the fact i remounted thé image on the sd.
That is very frustrating, because it worked fine, and this error seems to come from nowhere.
Please help !

I wanted to change the configuration (to test if the error came from that), like said in FAQ#17, and i can't find the file and directory given in the answer, neither by exploring my SD in windows or by typing the command line directly in Samplerbox.
I'm getting a bit nervous about this project. :(

The very old Image from 2015 works fine for me but the new image 20161114 gives me the same message and of course NO SOUND :-( how can it be this works for other People? isn't Raspberry Pi = Raspberry Pi ?
I'm using Pi 2B as well Pi 3 both the same

WOW got it work. Using a MIDI Interface instead of the GPIO INPUT.
BUT why the old Version works but the new Images not? Is the GPIO Serial Input disabled now?

Hi
on booting; i seem to get a similar eroor

"
samplerbox login: [ 6.7416591 random : unblocking pool is initialized
[6.773493] gpiomen-bcm2835 3f20000000.gpioen: gpiomen device opened.
[ 7.317544] uart-pl011 3f201000.uart: no dma platform data
"

how did anyone get round this? if it works with the 2015 image... can that still be found somewhere?

This is an ancient thread, but newer versions of Raspberry OS default to NO UART enabled.
You need to add a line to your /boot/config.txt file that says
enable_uart=1
