Help with DreamPi

Post by willis »

Hello

I have a DreamPi and it worked right when I received it. Now I can't seem to get connected with it or get to a login screen when plugged into a television. The two lights on the voltage line don't light up, only one, which tells me it isn't connecting properly. On top of that I've never been able to reach a 'login' prompt when I plug a keyboard in. I wanted to try and connect wi-fi but I don't see a prompt to type anything in. Here are a few pics as to what I see on my end.

After those it continues to do this cycle:

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Looks like something on the card got corrupted possibly. Can you re-flash the image of dreampi 1.7 on your sdcard?

I will try it out and report back. I just don't have an easy way of doing it.

Thanks!

Would I be able to put the micro as card in my phone and do it that way?

No, you'll probably have to get a USB SD-Card reader from amazon, they are usually pretty cheap. You'll need windows or mac to re-flash the software.
