Title: armhf 5.11 fails to boot. [SOLVED]
Post by: yadbash on June 03, 2020, 05:30:15 AM
Using same process, I can successfully create a Raspbian OS SD Card. Then when I build Sparkylinux armhf-5.11 it fails to boot my Raspberrypi 3b+.   Anyone else having this issue?  I've already tried 4 different SD Cards using different format programs.  Using dd to copy armhf-5.11.xxx.img to SD card.

lami07, Thanks. I'll keep testing my rpi 3b+ with Sparkylinux Older images to resolve my no boot.

Yes ! I used cp and not dd to copy image to SD Card and it worked.  Not sure why but, I have it working properly.



sudo fdisk -l <Identify device name of SD Card, ie: mmcblk0>

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4MB

sudo mkfs.fat -F 32 -I -v /dev/mmcblk0

sudo cp  /home/bobby/Downloads/sparkylinux-5.11-armhf.img /dev/mmcblk0
