PocketVJ image will not boot on the newly released RPi 3 B+ (14/03/2018).

Here is the solution:

• Insert card into RPi3
• sudo apt-get install rpi-update
• sudo rpi-update
• wget https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-brcm80211_20161130-3+rpt3_all.deb
• sudo dpkg -i firmware-brcm80211_20161130-3+rpt3_all.deb
• reboot

Now it should also boot on RPi3 B+.

Note:
Do not make apt-get upgrade since this breaks some X window settings and image player will not work anymore!

hi, for me this worked after some little changes:
• Insert card into RPi3
• sudo apt-get install rpi-update
• sudo rpi-update <— THIS DID NOT WORK (ca-error), SO I DID… (see next line)
• sudo CURL_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt rpi-update
• wget https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-brcm80211_20161130-3+rpt3_all.deb <— THIS DID NOT WORK, SO I DOWN-LOADED FILE on my remote computer AND UPLOADED IT WITH SMB TO /media/internal and executed it like this:
• cd /media/internal
• sudo dpkg -i firmware-brcm80211_20161130-3+rpt3_all.deb
• reboot
