Alpine will not boot on a new 122-16 SDR Pitaya #1038

Closed mgarrett1955 closed 2 years ago

Device:
Pitaya 122-16 SDR
SD card image:
red-pitaya-alpine-3.14-armv7-20211119 2
Application:
sdr_tranciever
Other relevant information:
I have started with a fresh card, deleted all partitions, created a new blank partition FAT32 and copied the files onto the card. The board lights up the green LED, but does flash any other LEDS, and does not boot, There is no Ethernet activity out of the board.

The board works fine with the supplied Red Pitaya application, (Which does not allow installing your applications like the 125-14 does).

I have performed this same operation many times on the 125-14 boards.

Thank you in advance, the work that you have done here is amazing..!

Green LED on is OK. No other LEDs on is also OK.

Please check the boot process using USB/serial console: https://redpitaya.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developerGuide/software/console/console/console.html

As far as I remember, most of the time this kind of problem is solved by replacing the SD card.

Pavel,

Thank you for your quick response. I re did the SD card, and it did boot up! So, operator error. When booting the green light will come on for about 35 seconds followed by the Blue light (most likely a succesful network).

In addition I was able to log in through the serial port.

One thing that did throw me was that I expected it to serve up your projects web page, is the web server running on this distribution?

Once again thank you for your quick response , this issue is closed.

Yes, there is a web interface that can be used to start the applications.

The Ethernet interface is by default configured to request an IP address via DHCP. If no IP address is provided by a DHCP server, then the Ethernet interface falls back to a static IP address 192.168.1.100.

Some additional information on network configuration can be found at this link.

Ok, chrome had blocked the site, fixed that, now the web page is being served.. all up and running. Thank you again!!
