Hi All,
I have just finished building the hardware... after plugging into the TV I get just a flashing color screen, and nothing ells. ( SD Card Installed)
On the Hardware... the PI lights up OK but should the Digole also light up on first power or does it not light up until the software in full installed? As I have no lights on the Digole.
Also I have the 1GB PI Is anyone using this successfully or should I have got the PI B+ the earlier version?
Thank You in advance.

Hi Richard
Sorry to say this is incompatible as it stand, there is an article here :-
http://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/16982376-updating-raspbian-on-your-microsd-for-the-raspberry-pi-2
Looks like there would be some porting work to support the pi2
ADDENDUM:
I could take a look at applying the patches and building an EXPERIMENTAL disk image if you want to try that ?
The problem is that I do not have access to a PI 2 to verify this myself.
Probably be a few days before I could get to doing this work
Thx
Lee

Lee,
Thank you for your reply. I have ordered the B+
I can send you the PI 2 for you to work on if you like... It will only sit here doing nothing.... If you get it working OK I could Pay for the remaining parts for you to complete it. Can you send me you Address as where to post.

Lee,
Thank You. I will pop it in the post on Monday.
OK The Pi arrived today I have the same problem. I can not get it to boot. (I have the Image file unpacked and in the root of the SD card) All i get is a flashing color screen on the TV with no options to install the OS. Same thing on different TV's.
The Pi also came with a copy of its own OS and also does the same thing. I Have tried with no hardware connected too, but just the same. Can any one help!!!
HOOOOOOOOOOO!!! OK Its booted. I have used a mobile phone charger And all is Good. It was the USB power cable. I will leave the above comment incase some ells has the same problem
