QtonPi SD Card image with RaspberryPi

smartsarath2003

Hi,
Has anyone tried with Qtonpi SD card image. I have tried using **# bzcat qtonpi-sdcard-0.2.img.bz2 > /dev/sdb; sync ** (from SD card image section of http://qt-project.org/wiki/Create#1b825bfe50d3793bdec3827e53945528)

The image seemed to have copied OK, but when I tried to boot the RPi board, it didn't boot. Following is what tried in my Linux terminal.

@sarath@ubuntu:/dev$ sudo fdisk -l
[sudo] password for sarath:

root@ubuntu:/home/sarath/Desktop/qtonpi-0.2/sdcard-img# @

There was a lot of wait after the last command as I believe the image was copied to card. I was using ubuntu 10.04 with VmWare Player.I have tried couple of times, but of no use. I have the Debian squeeze image working with another SD card on the same board. So board is powered correctly and no hardware issues.
Can someone please help resolve this....

Thanks in Advance

The 0.2 image definitely works as I've been running with it for the last couple of weeks. I put the image onto the SD card from Windows, so I can't help with the Linux side of things.

Hi,
Did you used any tool to copy image in windows or did you copied over just like a normal file on disk. I remember I tried this in windows with 0.1 image (FAT16 2GB SD card) and it didn't worked. I will try again with 0.2..
Thanks

I used Win32DiskImager to write the SD card image, I followed the instructions "here":http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads to install it. You can't just drag the image onto the card.

It works for me also. I use Ubuntu to copy the image to the SD card.

Hi
Win32DiskImager did worked when I tried on different laptop.
I can't use this tool on my laptop as this tool doesn't recognize SD card drive, so I used flashnul and linux method which didn't worked
Thanks for the help

This reply may be too late to be useful, but in case it's helpful:

This line @bzcat qtonpi-sdcard-0.2.img.bz2 >/dev/sdb1; sync@

should be @bzcat qtonpi-sdcard-0.2.img.bz2 >/dev/sdb; sync@

Note sdb not sdb1.
I installed QtonPi this way and it worked fine.

I have had the same problem. Did you manage to sort the problem out. If so, how did you do it?

Thanks

I have the same issue, but not with rasperian :-( I have the 512Mb version, I'm thinking that is the issue ?????

Has anybody got it working on RPi 512Mb??
