RevPi RPiBoot Checklist

 Problem

You want to use RPiBoot and something doesn't work, you've come to the right place.

 Solution

  1. Connect the RevPi correctly.
    Some steps must be executed in a specific order, as outlined below:

    - Disconnect the power supply from the RevPi.
    - Connect the micro-USB cable to the RevPi and to the computer where RPiBoot will be executed.
    - Reconnect the power supply to the RevPi. The Power LED must be on and green to indicate the device is receiving power correctly.
    - Execute RPiBoot on your computer.

  2. RPiBoot cannot be installed and there is a “TrustedPublisher” error?

    1. Disable the Driver signature verification.

  3. Check if the USB cable is intact. There are USB cables that come without all the necessary data lines.

  4. Check if you are using the latest downloads. RPiBoot, required to communicate with the Compute Module, might be available in a newer version. For more information and downloads, visit RPiBoot on GitHub.

  5. Try to connect using a Linux environment. Unfortunately, some USB related problems do not work under Windows but under Linux.

  6. Change the USB host, e.g. your desktop PC with a laptop or another device.

  7. There are suspicious errors “cannot open file autoboot.txt …” - ignore them - it concerns optional files.

  8. Use a USB HUB with an external power supply.

  9. Raspberry Pi Imager is a reliable tool to write and verify images on the eMMC, ensuring they are written correctly. Alternatively, you can use Balena Etcher.
