  • [Solved] RPi 2 does not start LE8.0.1

    Hi Iridium

    Thanks very much for your response. I've just in the last few minutes realised what the issue is - I actually have a Pi 1 model b+. This looks pretty much exactly like the 2 and therefore my mistake. I noticed this from the date stamped on the pcb and compared to what was listed for manufacturing on the wikipedia page - very confusing!

    In any case, I assume that the problem is due to incorrect kernel so I've just downloaded pi (1) image and will test again.

  • [Solved] RPi 2 does not start LE8.0.1

    Hi all

    I have a working RPi 2 model B that runs fine with raspbian wheezy. The moment I try to start it with LE8.0.1, it just comes up with the rainbow square as listed here:

    what-the-raspberry-pis-rainbow-boot-screen-and-rainbow-1768470271

    I've tried both Kingston 16GB Class 4 and Strontium 16GB Class 10 microsdhc cards but the same happens. I have a 2A adapter by the way. I'm using the following image:

    LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.1.img

    as follows:

    dd bs=4M if=/openelec/LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.1.img of=/dev/sde status=progress

    I also tried the usb-sd creator with same issue. I know that the rainbow square often points to hardware issues but as mentioned, I've already tried 2 different msd cards, both of which work perfectly fine with raspbian.

    Any ideas on this one?
