Raspberry Pi 3 - Model A+ - Compatability?

  • Hi everyone,

    I just purchased a Raspberry Pi3 - Model A+, and attempted to install the latest version of Libreelec for the Raspberry Pi 2/3, but am receiving the following error message on boot up:

    "Error in mount_sysroot: mount_common: Could not mount /flash/SYSTE *

    ** Starting debugging shell for boot step: mount_support...type exit to quit **

    Hopefully, someone can help with this - thank you

  • We don't support LE 10.x/11.x on the 3A+ due to the 512MB RAM configuration (under 1GB will not give a good experience). Older releases like LE 9.2.x are more efficient on 512MB boards due to the older video pipeline; although the boot firmware in our older images is older and doesn't always support the latest revisions of earlier Pi hardware. That's not the issue here (the error looks more like an SD card creation issue) but something to be aware of if/once you get it to boot and then find the performance underwhelming.
