Problems with Raspberry Pi B+

mikedavis
mikedavis over 10 years ago

I have been having some problems with the Raspberry Pi B+, and I could really use some help, since I am supposed to train some teachers on them relatively soon.  I have them listed below.

 

  • When I use the Micro SD cards I got from Element14, I saw that they had NOOBS 1.3.8 on them.  When I booted with that the USB ports were unresponsive, and I couldn't proceed with a keyboard or mouse.  I formatted the card and downloaded NOOBS 1.4.0 and got it to work.
  • When I booted with NOOBS 1.4.0 I got a pop up that said that Raspian would not load properly on this revision of the RPi B+.
  • After getting the OS loaded successfully I tried to get a temperature probe running, and I found nothing in the /sys/bus/w1/devices folder (a problem I had earlier and solved with a kernel from Frank Buss).
  • After downloading the kernel, and rebooting I got a lot of error messages during the boot and couldn't get to to the command line.

 

I feel like I am doing something very basic, and I don't understand the problems I am encountering, since I haven't really changed anything from the box. 

 

If there is a resource I am missing, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thank you,

 

Mike Davis

    Mike mikedavis The NOOBs 1.4 is the latest version, so it should install. I haven't tried it yet on Pi2 but have on a B+. The lastest version does render some things 'troublesome' (inc a B+) It seems that…

    Great One question/request can you copy your /boot/config.txt file to here so others can ensure theirs is the same. Cheers Mark You're fairly unlikely to be banned here ...but that other site ... .

    Hi mikedavis

     

    I don't have any specific NOOBS experience, are you looking to install Raspbian?

    Could you try bypassing the NOOBS installer and installing a Rasbian image directly. It is available here: Downloads | Raspberry Pi
