Raspberry pi 2 not booting <SOLVED>

boskisam

Hi guys! I'm trying to set up Raspberry pi 2 with rune audio. Problem is that whenever i try to boot it doesn't. It seems like it can't read the image from sd card or something. It doesn't even power up the usb/ethernet ports (ethernet LED not flashing). It works when i install raspbian image. So i guess the problem is with image itself or it's compatibility with my device. Anyone had a similar problem? t
I tried to restore image trough windows and debian, same results. (disks on debian gnome)

(When i plug in my TV into HDMI) it only shows colorful screen, and doesn't go further.

Are you getting the red led illuminated? This demonstrates the Pi is receiving power.

Are you getting the yellow/green led flashing? This demonstrates CPU activity.

What did you use to load RuneAudio onto the SD card? Have you tried re-loading the iso to the SD card to ensure its not a bad image on the card?

Are you using a power supply that provides around 2 amps? Also, how many items are attached to the Pi? (Hard Disks, wifi dongles, usb drives, etc.) Anything pulling more than ~500 miliamps or pulling to much power in total can cause the Pi to not boot. I have had this issue in the past when having two DACs attached, a Wifi Adapter and a HDD/USB data source. Unplug everything and see if it will boot. Plug stuff in until it won't boot again.

There is some help in the Docs section,

http://www.runeaudio.com/documentation/troubleshooting/rpi-troubleshooting/

But if Raspbian boots, so should Rune Audio. Only thing I can think of is that you might have downloaded the wrong image file somehow (?) Perhaps compare the name of the image file?

Do you run the RasPi with a hat DAC (HiFiBerry or similar)? If yes, then try to boot RuneAudio without the DAC. Some DACs were shipped with faulty EEPROM Code that do not boot with certain versions of the kernel. One of these drove me crazy...

Hi guys again.

I gave up on this for a while. But i want to do this again.
Tried newer images, tried even OSMC, but it failed too.

I tried burning image on other cards, and different programs (even tried dding the image on debian) but no luck
I thought it might be a card class problem, because the cards i tried were class 4. I bought class 10 16GB Sandisk card, no luck.

I still get a rainbow screen to the hdmi.
Power isn't the problem, tried 0.9A LG charger, 1A TV USB output, and 2A Oneplus charger.

To answer questions:
Are you getting the red led illuminated?
-Yep

Are you getting the yellow/green led flashing?
-Yep, green LED flashes few times, stops for a second, and flashes several times again (and on, and on)

What did you use to load RuneAudio onto the SD card?
-Used Win32DiskImager on Windows, dd on Debian. Formatted card to fat32 everytime before loading image. Still no luck.
did this multiple times and redownloaded image couple of times.

Do you run the RasPi with a hat DAC (HiFiBerry or similar)?
-First time i tried to boot i plugged in fiio e10k dac. Second time and every after i tried to boot with only display and internet cable plugged. Even without display it doesn't give power to the ethernet port.

Hi boskisam,

It works when i install raspbian image.

Tried newer images, tried even OSMC, but it failed too.

This is strange.
You have a RP2?

You have used this image?

Ok, I found the solution.

What was wrong was the pi.
I borrowed it from a friend, and he said its pi 2 b, although it seems to be pi 1 b+.
I'm sorry for being such a noob, pi 2b looks exactly like pi b+.

Thanks for all the support guys, sorry.

Hi boskisam,

Nothing to be sorry for.

A RP2 is highly recommended, because the image for the Pi1 is fairly old.

You can try the RP1 first, but please update to our nightly builds.
