OGN Latest not installing!

(1/8) > >>

Wadoadi:
Hi,
while this could be me, I have install a lot of PI's but could still be the hardware or SD card, but I have tried a Pi 2b+ and a Pi 3 and 2 different Micro SD cards.

Download image taken from http://pilotaware.lode.co.uk/downloads/OGN/PilotAware-OGN.latest.zip

Files unzipped and contents of folder copied to root of the formated 8Gb SD card

Power light comes on but the SD access light remains off.

Is it the image or do I have 2 dead pi's or SD cards?

SDs format ok with the SD formatter.

Thanks

Adi

Hi Adi

I have just downloaded the latest OGN image on a reformatted card (full overwrite)
It unpacked in 10 minutes and I was able to log onto the configuration files  so all OK

I suggest it is the Pi or SD card which is the problem, not the SW.

If you attach a monitor to the Pi via HDMI cable you will be able to watch it unpack or not as the case may be.

Cheers

Keith

Ian Melville:
Do you also need to allow time for it to unpack? It is a while since I built an OGN station.

Hi Ian,

Yes, it needs to partition the card and unpack the software in the same way as a normal fresh PilotAware install, which can take about 20 minutes or so, then it has to run the setup. My concern would be why Adi says there is no sign of the SD light during this process, though it can show briefly then not be visible for fairly long periods while the partitioning is going on. If interrupted during that process that can of course corrupt the card.

Adi,

Have you checked that the cards are Full Overwrite formatted, with Size Adjustment ‘On’ and that the end result is a FAT32 formatted card? My guess would be some sort of corruption during unpacking and transferring the software to the microSD card or during the subsequent install. I agree with Keith - the best way to see what is going on is to attach a monitor via the HDMI port and follow progress on-screen.

Hope this helps

Regards

Peter

hi all,
    thanks for your input I left it installing while I went out for 4hours and on my return, I plugged an HDMI cable in, it was stuck at the noobs selector screen. Selecting pilot aware shows the pilotaware box and then reboots back to the same screen!

I will try again tomorrow with some other hardware

Buster lite installed without issue on the same pi and mem card after without issue!

Mem card is only 8Gb does it require a 16Gb?
