RPi 3B+ wont boot with older versions

  • Hi guys,

    I just bought a RPi 3B+ and installed, on my Macbook with the USB-SD creator, LE on a MicroSD card. Version 8.2.4 booted up, worked good, but for some reason I could not find/connect to my Windows shared folder. I read somewhere people had same issues and I had to try an older LE version. But when using the same USB-SD creator tool for installing version other than 8.2.4 I can not boot. Green LED light blinks 4 times slow then 4 times fast.

    Installing 8.2.4 back works good, so the card is okay.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks a million! :thumbup:

  • This is because the RPi3B+ didn't exist when LE 8.2.3 (and older) were released and these versions don't include the necessary changes to run on an RPi3B+.

    You need LE 8.2.4 or Milhouse testbuilds after the RPi3B+ release date (March 14th) for the RPi3B+.

    so long,

    Hias
