Hey Rasp community,

MODEL: Rasp. Pi A++



I downloaded a ISO file of arch linux I then converted to IMG file. I want to install the Arch Linux OS but have not been getting a boot. The 16 GB Kingston SD is properly formatted with the FAT , I used my desktop version or Arch Linux to actually install the IMG file on the SD card but no luck... as for the Pi all I see is a solid green light and solid red light.. anyone have insight? thanks

You need to install ARCH Linux ARM Operating System:

There is no .ISO or .IMG file for Arch Linux Arm for Raspberry Pi, you need to follow their instructions to create a SD Card:

ARMv6 RPi 1 & Zero: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi

ARMv7 RPi 2B & 3B: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... berry-pi-2

If you install PINN, it can do all the hard work for you and install the correct version of Arch for your Pi.
