mintypi IMG/Setupscript HELP

Post by coolcrawler » Fri Aug 31, 2018 7:09 am

Can someone please tell me how to use the setup script and IMG file for the mintypi? I tried flashing the provided IMG with Apple Pi Baker and I plugged it into the TV with an HDMI and nothing came up. Can someone please tell me what is going on? The only thing I have right now soldered is the PCB to the Raspberry Pi Zero W. If someone could do a super detailed post, or direct me to a video that would be great.

Im pretty sure you need to have a screen too see a picture as the mintypi is setup too do that, Do you have a screen?

The TV/Monitor has to support the 640x480 resolution that the mintyPi image uses if it doesn't as it sounds like then you have no image. Try another TV/Monitor. Always burn the image to the SD card first and test on the pi BEFORE soldering it to the pcb, this way you can test things out properly and know it's working.

Does the Pi green led show up and flash?

Yes. The green LED lights up and starts to flash. I also tried the same mircor SD card with another Pi and it did the same thing.

So there is your problem, you have a TV that doesn't support 480i/P
