Hello everyone,
Désolé pour l’anglais, je suis suisse et je ne parle pas allemand. Par contre j’ai Deepl.
I hope someone can help me.
Today I tried to start up my Core Pro for the first time.
I have a first-generation Core Pro ,bought immediately after its release.
I downloaded the current official image VanPICTRL_pi4_pi5_v2.1.0_VANPI_CORE_PRO.img from the Pekaway download page and wrote it to a microSD card using balenaetcher.
Afterward:
microSD card inserted.
Core is switched on.
Since then, no Pekaway Wi-Fi network appears and the web interface is inaccessible.
I then removed the microSD card and restarted the Core. Unfortunately, the problem persists:
no Wi-Fi
no access to pekaway.local,
Only the red LED on the core is constantly lit.
The Core Pro has a connected touchscreen. The screen displays the Pekaway logo, the loading animation, and the message “Waiting for system.”
I try two Micro sd card:
-SanDisk Extreme 256gb
-SanDisk Extreme 64gb
Two different utility for flashing the micro sd card:
-balenaetcher
-Rufus
My questions:
Is there an additional step required after flashing the SD card on the first generation Core Pro?
Does the Core Pro boot directly from the SD card?
Is there a recovery guide for this case?
Thank you so much for your help!
Rémy
