recently I download the latest raspbian (2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-full.zip) . run it on RPi 3 B model. found it won't boots to desktop. is it backward compatible?
thanks
Xian
Re: does raspbian backward compatible?
Backward compatible with what?
If you're asking if current Raspbian on older Pi models then the answer is yes. It will run on *all* models...

Yes.
(At least, that is the claim made by Raspberry Pi themselves.)
So what could be wrong? What size micro SD card are you trying to use?
Re: does raspbian backward compatible?
I'm using 16G micro SD.

How did you (try to) install "2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-full.zip" on that uSD card (ie. with what tools and on what computer etc.)?
If you didn't use it perhaps re-try with the new imaging tool: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
Trev.
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
Re: does raspbian backward compatible?
I'm using balenaEtcher to write image to uSD. I have been using it for long time without issue.

Re: does raspbian backward compatible?
My God! it's power supply issue! I switched another power supply. then it worked. I have many usb power unit. I thought they are same, so I just grab one for RPi. it lights up RPi, seems no problem. but it is problem! I tried many, many times. finally come here for help.
hope this could help other people having same issue.
