Re: [slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
Again, you people are terrific, Thanks so much for all your help. After this morning's attempts I got in touch with the shop I bought the Raspberry Pi from, PiShop.us. I'd hope to hear back from them soon. This morning's attempt are summarized here: Today I went over to the Walmart and bought another SD card and burned pCP onto it using a Windows version of USBImager. In other words, sort of started over with a couple new players. No success. So I plugged in a 4 GB SD card and burned Raspberry Lite OS onto it to see if the RP would connect to my network with that installed rather than pCP. No success. I thought maybe I'm just not seeing RP in my list of connected devices so I had my Internet provider take a look. No, it was not showing up. And I made sure that the ethernet cable and socket were proven to work (I pulled the cable out of the back of my functioning Roku and used it). When I power up the Raspberry Pi a solid red LED comes on and a green LED flashes intermittently, irregularly and then goes dark and stays dark. I will leave this in PiShop.us's Customer Support court for the rest of the day. I still have a few ideas from you that I can and will try. But want to hear from Customer Support first.

Done it many times on my 2 and 3 versions though. in these instances Amazon Prime would be your friend at £4 for a cable or adapter and next day delivery. Apologies to AC48 for not remembering that.

To me, this is progress, heal your mind (but challenge your liver) When I get stuck line this I start to swap and eliminate possibilitites, e.g. not only swap ethernet cables, but check the suspect one on another device. You are getting alot of help from some of the most experienced member, so I'll stay out of it unless I think of something unique. I did have two thoughts for now: 1) You could just hook up a monitor, mouse keyboard and load raspian per the raspberry pi "how tos" to see if your hardware seems to be behaving 2) I (or others) could build you a known working SD card, piciore player loaded and drop it in the mail, or, I could drop the image file into dropbox for you, you would then just have to burn it (we can give you directions). This way, we determine if it's hardware or SD. I am in the US, Northern New York and would be happy to do either. I have a bunch of SD cards lying around Jim Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114796 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Looking for advice on Rasperry Pi piCore Player set up
As I suspected lots of good help being offered, So far it looks like you're on the correct path, you've imaged - your directory listing looks OK, so now it's either booted up OK and you can't find its IP address in your router or it's not booting up properly/or able to join your network. So I'd agree with the consensus, get a screen onto your RPi so you can see what's it's actually doing when powered up. For me, without a PC monitor available, I use my TV - easy to pull the HDMI cable out from the back of my cable box or Blu-Ray player and plug that into the RPi HDMI port, power on the TV change it's input to the correct HDMI port and then power up the RPi. >From me one other thing to try in the meantime... on your Mac in the App store search for an app called LanScan, it's free, get that and once installed run it and do a scan of your network (button above Start LanScan) with your RPI connected to your router and powered up. If you RPi is out there in the correct address range then it will show with Raspberry Pi trading Ltd (or foundation) as a vendor, if it's there then LanScan will show its IP Address, which you can use in your web browser to access pCP configuration pages. But as others have said - try and get a monitor of some kind connected to it, once it's booting properly and you know it's IP Address you can carry on configuration using the pCP web user interface.
