Since 3 days I've tried to boot for the first time my single board computer, but without reaching any successeful goal.
I've checked the power, I've tried two different chargers(one of those bought inside the kickstarter pack),
I've tried two different displays and different hdmi cables,
I've tried with and without ethernet cable plugged in,
I've tried 2 different SD cards, one of 32gb, SAMSUNG 10 Class, and another one of 64gb, Lexar 10 Class, but NOTHING.
I'm using an apple computer and my first question is related with the firmware image to download, I've tried to download and then to install in the cards Android 5.1.1 (dd rooted and without root), Remix 2.0, but none of those gave me any kind of vital signs.
Anyway the second doubt is related with the software to use on the OSX, is the ApplePi Baker sufficient?
I've tried to use the terminal with the DD command, but I didn't obtain anything.
The images downloaded are always around 600mb to 1.2gb, but once unzipped and extracted they become of 32gb or 64gb and something more, that they are larger than the room available, is it possible? Do i have to use them with ApplePi Baker with *.zip or *.img extension?
So please, help me.
Thank you so much in advance.
Regards
Hi!
I take it you've read this thread?
Also, the Etcher software for Mac can apparently burn an image from a compressed (zipped) file, so no need even to unzip and extract. I have not tried this myself personally, as I don't have a Mac, but it's right at the end of that thread I linked. It also mentions the problem of OS images being larger than the storage space of the microSD card you are burning onto.
Give that whole thread a read and see if that helps you get any closer to success.
