This might be a faulty sd card, but the text about reinstalling pibakery suggests it might be a pibakery issue?

davidferguson commented 8 years ago

That's an error that's passed straight through from resin-image-write, and I actually am not entirely sure what it means. Are you on Windows or Mac, and have you tried writing again?

mrosseel commented 8 years ago

I'm on Mac and already tried 2x, are there any prerequisites regarding SD card formatting?

davidferguson commented 8 years ago

Not as far as I know - it's always just worked with any SD when I've tried it. Just to check, what's the size of your SD?

mrosseel commented 8 years ago

4Gb. Retrying with an external SD card reader and closing the disk utility app.

davidferguson commented 8 years ago

That's the issue - PiBakery uses Raspbian Full, which needs an 8GB or larger SD. I'm currently implementing support for Raspbian Lite, which will mean that 4GB cards can be used.

mrosseel commented 8 years ago

That indeed explains a lot :). Looking forward to the lite addition. Would be good to check the SD card size before writing, to avoid tickets like these. Thanks for your help!

davidferguson commented 8 years ago

That's a good idea - I'll try and add it to the next version.

16gb card host Ubuntu 16.04 SD Write Failed

Error: undefined: not able to write image undefined

Please try writing to the SD card again.

If this error persists, please reinstall PiBakery. bake

@andragabr There's an issue with my documentation - you'll need to have kpartx installed in order to use PiBakery on Linux.

On Debian and Ubuntu you can use sudo apt-get install kpartx to install it - once you've done that PiBakery should work fine.

@davidferguson thanks a lot, Write Successful. I would love to help you with the documentation and get involved. I just started to learn raspberry pi and I am so enthusiast :)
