Raspberry Pi 2 (model B) won't boot with LibreElec

  • I'm currently trying to set up LibreELEC and was trying to reuse my old Raspberry PI 2 (B) for that.

    I tried:

    - 4 different images: LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-11.0.1 , LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-10.0.4 , LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-11.0-nightly-20230412-03cdde3 & whatever image the Raspberry Pi Imager is currently loading (Released on 2023-03-18)

    - 2 different MicorSD cards (16gb SDHC & 32gb SDHC)

    - 2 different power supplies (5v @ 3A & 5v @ 3.1A)

    Result:

    - It boots fine with Raspbian.

    - LibreELEC does not boot past rainbow screen in the beginning.

    - ACT only flashes for a few sec and then is off.

  • You are absolutely right ... I don't know why the Raspberry OS thinks its a PI 2 B but from the layout pictures I see online it should be a Pi 1 B...

    Thanks, and sorry for wasting time. Gonna go get a Orange Pi 3 LTS then, that is at least available and still below 100.
