While I successfully set up an SD 4GB memory card, starting from scratch with Wheezy, etc.
I was not able to use the Ready-To-Go emoncmspi.img. The RPI do not boot up.
Experimented with Windows-XP and Win32DiskImager, or Ubuntu using an ImageCopyTools or command line.
Tested on two different SD cards, no way, the RPI do not boot.
Is there an hash code for the emoncmspi.zip file to be able to check the file integrity?

Re: Unable to boot RPI with emoncmsip.img
I experienced the same problem and eventually started from a Wheezy image and loaded everything separately, which took time, but helped me learn a little more about the system.

Re: Unable to boot RPI with emoncmsip.img
if you are on a newer revision 2.0 pi then you need to write the image to the SD....
then download this:-
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware
and copy the files below in that download, and overwrite them on your SD card.
bootcode.bin
strart.elf
start_cd.elf
start_x.elf
let me know if that works?
Re: Unable to boot RPI with emoncmsip.img
The exact size of emoncmspi.zip on my computer is 570653915 bytes. Do you know if it completed? I guess the zip extraction should fail with a corrupted download. I had some unreliable bootup issues with some makes of SD Cards, I'm currently using SanDisk SDHC 4GB which seems to work really well.

to Trystan
Also my copy of emoncmspi.zip file is 570653915 bytes, and the extracted file is 2,0 GB (1977614336 bytes).
No errors on download or unzipping or writing the SD using Windows-XP and Ubuntu.
I'm also using a SanDisk SDHC 4GB, which is actually working fine.

Re: Unable to boot RPI with emoncmsip.img
i also have this problem... the download link from dropbox is kind of funny... there is no progress thing like normal downloads... the only way you know its done is that it create a dot part file... that one goes away when its done downloading
Re: Unable to boot RPI with emoncmsip.img
quick note... it could be fun if the format of the filesystem in the img file was changed to squashfs.. in that way we could load the img on a usb stick and use berry boot to install it
i tried that but the format was wrong
the process is simple enoug
1. boot berry boot on a 2 gb card or what you just have arround.
2. when prompted where to install swap to the card where you want to install.. let it be formatted....
3. when choosing os click cancel... click and hold on add os... you get an option to install from usb and choose img file
Re: Unable to boot RPI with emoncmsip.img
