Let me know if this allows your Pi to boot please.

This works! (with Beta 1.1)

Thanks a lot!

@Soundstrorm: (and others who found this worked) Can you add what type of memory you have, so we can keep a check on what works with what. Tnx.

They have Micron RAM, these firmware files are simply the latest from the Pi Foundation. They will work with all Pi's.

I added my board to the list. BM1320.

Hi Guys,

I have also the newest RPi model B 512.

Revision 000e

it wouldn't start with default xbian install. Only when replacing the start.elf and bootcode.bin it will boot.

i've setup the config txr gpu_mem_512 from 128 to 256 but the free -h still shows 122MB.

it should be showing 256, right?

Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks in advance!

@igmi As this thread is related to New RPi and your question is off topic, can you create a new thread and add the details, add your /boot/config.txt file, the output from free -h and the output from cat /proc/meminfo

The image of beta 1.1 has been updated to support newer pi's. Just reinstall xbian beta 1.1 on your sd card using our installers. (NOTE: On OS X you also have to remove the xbian installers.app and redownload it from our site).

Thanks! I just did that!
Can you please remove my question from this thread to prevent redundancy?

I received a new raspberry pi, and I noticed it didn't boot from a freshly made SD card.
I personally "fixed" the problem by booting from an external HD (like I was planning to anyway) instead of the SD card. This seems to have solved the problem on my new (one day old) raspberry pi

Hi folks

I am new to this forum and hope my question is right being place here as I´m really getting frustrated with my Pi :-(

Yesterday I´ve tried to get the buddy up and running but I´m struggling at the very beginning.

First I tried to install XBian 1.0 but my Pi got stuck at loading screen. After that I´ve tried the version 1.1 but my Pi rebooted all the time..got stuck at loading as well..not so soon but at 80% i got stuck. So I found this thread and used the bootcode and start files posted - XBian 1.1. Now my Pi was permanently rebooting during loading or init-phase....tried the same with 1.0 and those two files suddenly brought me to the start screen - but - no mouse support.

Next I tried to use the NOOB 1.3 files...but still - no mouse or keyboard is supported.

I tried several cable mice..wireless mice but no success. Got two SD cards which are all accepted so far by my Pi...tried several AC units but that changed nothing.

Does anyone have an idea of what I can try else? If you need any details pls ask me - I really want to get this buddy running....hope you can help.

** SOLUTION **
Don´t ask me why but I found another handy AC adapter from Huawei...and although it is a 400mAh adapter the PI is now up and running..installed RASPBMC without issues and XBIAN on another Card even without issues. So to all of you who encounter issues like me - it´s all about the AC adapter - give it a try
