Greetings, I hope I’m posting in the right forum and thanks in advance for those who are willing to chime in.
Steps I’ve taken so far:
-
Downloaded Pi/Zero image from this page
-
Used Etcher to write the image to a 32Gb Class 10 MicroSD Card
Potential Issues:
As soon as the image is written and verified by Etcher, I got a lot of popups with following messages:
Popup 1:
“Location is not available; The parameter is incorrect”
Popup 2:
“You need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?”
Popup 3:
“The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.”
For each drive that the image created (Drive G, H, I), it popped up the three messages above, ie total of 9 errors. After clicking “Cancel” or “OK” to close all those messages, resin-boot is in Drive F, with 24.8Mb used and 15Mb free (Total 39.9Mb).
I used DISKPART to repartition, format the card, then rewrite the image with Etcher multiple times, still ended up to the same situation.
Step 3: Then I decided to ignore it and move on according to the instruction, trying to setup wifi.
In system-connections folder, I made a copy of resin-sample file and saved it as resin-wifi. I used Notepad++ to modify the file, by replacing ssid= and psk=. I also added never-default=true as well as ignore-auto-routes=true
Step 4: Finally, I plugged in the card to the Pi Zero Wireless, with power supply that outputs 1A. The green light on Pi Zero Wireless came on, flashed for a minute or so, then stayed on.
I used Fing app on my android tablet, and did not see the Pi Zero connecting to the router.
I hope I have put enough information here that some of you can help troubleshoot… your help is greatly appreciated!
