Running Raspberry Pi 1 OS on Raspberry Pi 3 - raspberry-pi

I have a Raspberry Pi 1 running Raspbian. I tried running the SD card from it on a Raspberry Pi 3 but it didn't boot.
I've read various things about upgrading a Raspberry Pi 2 install to run on Raspberry Pi 3, but little for upgrading from 1 to 3.
Can anyone please help?

All you need to do is update the firmware of your raspberry Pi while the sd card is still plugged in your RPi 1,
Step 1, Update the System, sudo apt-get update
Step 2, Upgrade the System sudo apt-get upgrade
Step 3, Update the firmware itself, sudo apt-get install rpi-update
Reboot and shutdown your RPi 1.
These two links might be helpful for troubleshooting,
Update the Firmware on a Raspberry Pi
Pi 3 cannot boot images
that for with Pi 2?

What is the version of the OS you are running?
uname -a
If it is older than the introduction date of you R Pi2 then it probably will not work. The newer OSs are backward compatible. So I would make a new OS SD boot card.

Have you tried the following commands?
(there is one more command, than Sufiyan wrote, he just installs it, but is not running it)
sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install rpi-update
rpi-update
halt
That worked for me, was once migrating some old RasPis to the new ones.

The OS for Raspberry Pi 1 is mainly the same as Pi 3,
so you should be able to install the software for this transfer.
Put NOOBS on the Pi 1's SD and boot. Find the "edit config" area and change the OS to Pi3
First, find a USB to MicroSD card adapter (found on Amazon for dirt cheap). Plug in the Pi 3's SD Card and choose it as the copy to device. Choose the Pi 1's SD as the source, then begin the copy. This can take up to 30 minutes. Next, safely eject the Pi 3's SD Card and format the Pi 1's SD. Next, insert the SDCard into your Pi 3 and boot.
You now have Raspbian Full on the Pi 3.

Raspberry Pi Pico - Install External Libraries/API

I need to use a device to connect and control via a Raspberry Pi Pico.
The device has its own libraries and API with the commands needed to operate it, I have already done this procedure on a Raspberry Pi Zero W on Raspbian by downloading and compiling the API for this device and it works.
How can I compile or install these libraries so that the commands are recognised on the script to be uploaded to the Raspberry Pi Pico, as it does not have an operating system?
Thank you

Raspberry pi freeze when trying to install vlc

I am trying to install vlc on my raspberry pi 3. Using sudo apt-get install vlc. The process starts, but eventually freezes. This is the only time it freezes and it does so every time I try. Cant reboot through ssh either. I use the official stontronica power supply, so doubt that is the problem.
Any help is much appreciated

How do you get a waveshare 3.5 inch touch LCD to work with Raspbian Jessie?

I have a waveshare 3.5 inch touch LCD display and I m trying to get it working with the latest version of Raspbian A.K.A Raspbian Jessie. I followed futurice.com 's tutorial on getting it to work (tutorial is titled I'd like some LCD on my pi) and it worked on Raspbian Wheezy just fine. All I get now is a blank white screen. All help is greatly appreciated! (I must use the official Raspbian Jessie image without NOOBS from the Raspberry pi website.) I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Mobel B +.
From the product page:
Why the LCD doesn't work with my Raspbian? To use the LCD with the
Raspberry Pi official image, driver should be installed first. Please
refer to the user manual. However, for the first testing, you may want
to use our provided image directly. Why the LCD still doesn't work
with the Waveshare provided image? Make sure the hardware connection
is correct and connects fine. Make sure the image in TF card is burnt
correctly. The PWR will keep on and the ACT will keep blinking when
the Raspberry Pi starts up successfully, in case both of the two LEDs
keep on, it is possible that the image was burnt incorrectly OR the TF
card was in bad contact. Which power supply should I use? It is
strongly recommended to use a stand-alone 5V/2A power adapter, because
the PC's USB port might doesn't have enough power to support the Pi
and LCD. For more info, please check the wiki page
You can find more info on their wiki.
It sounds like you either need to use their Raspian image, or install the driver for this display on your existing Raspian install:
wget http://www.waveshare.net/w/upload/7/73/LCD-show.tar.gz
tar xvf LCD-show.tar.gz
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show

hcitool can't maintain connections on Raspberry Pi

I'm trying to install bluez on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to work, but hcitool lecc always disconnects after ~2 seconds. This happens on a freshly installed os. I follow the steps listed here: http://www.elinux.org/RPi_Bluetooth_LE.
Installing bluez with apt-get instead of building the source seems to have fixed my problem.
sudo apt-get install bluez
sudo apt-get install bluez
will fix this.
When I asked this question, there was no update bluez package in the repos that have bluetooth capability. I must have been compiling from source wrong
