Cant boot into Android Things build

Mon Jul 03, 2017 5:38 pm

Hi i installed the latest android developer preview of Android things on a sd card and when i connect it to my Pi zero W, all i get is a rainbow colored screen?

My Pi Zero W is fine because if i put a sd card with rasbian, it boots fine

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You need an ARM7 based RPi3.

Hi,
I'm using Raspberi Pi 3 Model B, and installed Android Things 0.5.1-devpreview on the sd card. But it's not booting. The board is fine as it's working fine with NOOBS and LIBREElec. When I start the board with Android Things it just shows the rainbow image of raspberi two times before shutting down.
Please help.

Yeah actually i had the same issue with 0.5.1-devpreview version and my raspberry pi 3. I have to be flashing the iso into microSD to make it work again. Very bad workaround, and sometimes didn't work.

So what i did for the moment was to switch to 0.4.1-devpreview version. Which allow me to continue working perfectly.

I will wait for a newer stable version i guess. :roll:

This is my experience.
