Raspberry Pi Type B Single Board Computer 512MB Cannot Boot Up

Submitted by Guest on Tue, 20/08/2013 - 15:31

Hi,

I have a Raspberry Pi Type B board and I am using emoncmspiv5avr_2may.img. The SDCard is working fine. I have verified, re-format and re-load the firmware. The only LED that comes on is the PWR. Needless to say, there is no activity on my router port where the Pi is connected to. The board is new. It could be faulty, but assuming that it is not, what other things could have gone wrong? I have attached a couple of pics here.

How have you written the image file to your SD card, ie what software and what hardware have you used?

Do you have a monitor connected? Usually there will be some hint messages, if something has gone wrong.

I purchased the sdcard from here with the image loaded. I re-wrote the image on the sdcard successfully using the commands below when Pi failed to boot up.

$ sudo dd bs=4M if=emoncmspiv5avr_2may.img of=/dev/sdb

Good point on connecting the monitor. I will try tonight. But since it is not booting up at all, will it work?
