I've written the image directly using dd, and with balena etcher.

Out of curiosity, did you automate the build some sort of way, or is it all manual? And would you mind if someone put it up as a Torrent? Peter

Looks like it blew out those hosts too!

Outstanding Dave! I noticed it is a 17GB download. Anyway to downsize it a bit more? Did you build on the full Raspbian or the desktop only? Hi Jason,



Love your YouTube channel. I'm one of your Patreons. Yes, it is a huge download. We're putting it up on BitTorrent to help. I will downsize the next version I produce. This is based on Raspbian Buster with Desktop and recommended software.

I created this image on a Raspberry Pi 4. How large is the image you downloaded (exact bytes please)? What software did you use to flash the image to your micro SD card? What happens during boot?

I created the image on a Raspberry Pi 4. I know it works there. Then I took the exact file I uploaded and wrote it to a SD card and successfully booted on a Raspberry Pi 2 B.

There are now two reports of failing to start on a Pi 4. I will investigate further.

This was a manual creation, however I think I may use a build automation tool such as Ansible to create the next version. (This will take a good while because creating Ansible playbooks is a slow process sometimes...)



We are putting up a torrent as I write this... I will post the torrent file for download.

We're in the process of seeding a bittorrent. In my wildest dreams I never thought this would go viral. So far the webservers have served up over 8.5 Terabytes of W3DJS Raspberry Pi Ham Radio Image 2.0.

I wrote the image using Balena Etcher (on OSX) to a 32g sandisk. That didn't boot. I then wrote the image using dd on linux, to a *different* 32g sandisk. That also didn't boot.

They symptom:

When I power the Pi4 (4g, btw) up, I see the row of raspberries, then the screen goes blank and nothing else. No boot messages, no linux device probing, no kernel messages, no panic, etc.
