I really don’t have an idea what could be wrong with the image…
Is there an older version of img file I can try with?
There may be but don’t think know the state of those. I still highly suspect an issue with how the SD Card is being created.
Are you able to perhaps create the image from Linux or another computer?
Do you have another SD Card you could try using?
Yup, I tried a different micro SD card with the same result. But in both cases, I used a Raspberry Pi imager.
But I used it also for the Klipper, Raspbian Lite, and Pi-Hole. And it did the job of formatting perfectly. I’m unsure where I’m making a mistake because the process is straightforward…
Do you have any other imager in mind?
Pi Imager running on Linux.
This is indeed odd.
Perhaps try an older version of Pi Imager. The LightBurn docs show 1.6.2 being used. I personally used 1.7.3.
Good idea, but after trying both version it is the same…
I just tried Belena Etcher with the same results… It really is strange…
Are there certain read/write permissions for certain files used during the startup? Maybe some files are read-only during startup…
I am using Windows 11 x64, but also tried to install on Windows 10 x64.
I just turned on the bridge to see what the green light activity looks like and it’s fairly typical randomly flashing light based on activity.
It was on a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card.
A couple of additional suggestions:
- Try reformatting the SD Card. I’d suggest using the utility from the SD Association. Pick FAT32 for the filesystem type:
SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac | SD Association (sdcard.org) - Try booting from USB flash drive instead of SD Card. I haven’t tried this with the Bridge image so don’t actually know if it will work but might be worth trying.
Hello again,
I investigated more by searching online for “Raspberry Pi 3B+ not booting .xz” and I found this one: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=209416
I tried to put the microSD card in my older 3B+ which is running Pi-hole and it worked!
So, the bottom line - new RPis 3B+ are not working with the LB bridge image (will not boot).
Thank you for supporting me during this trip to enable the LB bridge.
Kind regards!
You may want to try these things to see if it works with the troublesome 3B+:
- Update the bootcode.bin file to the latest version:
firmware/boot at master · raspberrypi/firmware · GitHub - Try booting from USB
I have the same issue (pi not booting with the green LED pattern) described above. I replaced the bootcode.bin file like you mentioned, but it did not changed anything.
I already confirmed that it is no hardware issue, tried different SD card and also diffent images on the same hardware which all worked out fine.
Did you try booting from USB?
