Hi guys,

I'm very new to Raspberry Pi and Openelec, really hoping you can help me out.

My RP is connected to my tv, I usually control everything with my remote control, now I have attached a keyboard to it, so I can type commands if necessary.

So I've updated my system and now I don't get passed through this black screen with text I don't understand.

Please see

And

I'm not sure what info is needed to understand the issue, please let me know what information is missing, I really appreciate any help!

Thanks a lot.

How did you update OpenELEC? It seems that it did not write correctly to your SD Card.

Are you overclocking? If so, remove the overclocks.

It could also be a marginal* power supply, so try a different/more powerful power supply - you want at least 2A.

* More recent Raspberry Pi releases do more work in hardware, which means more power is used/needed. Your power supply might be OK when using an older release but doesn't provide enough power for a new release, resulting in system instability.

The error is sdcard related. What is make and model of sdcard?
Might be worth adding:

Code:

dtoverlay=sdhost

to config.txt which uses an alternative sdcard driver.

Thanks for the replies.

- There was an option in my settings to update the OpenELEC, I just hit the button.
- I have no idea if I am overclocking, if so, not on purpose.
- Powersupply has worked fine for months, it's 3A
- SD card = microsd (SOS solutions) 8 GB

Where do I exactly add this text?

This is what's in the config.txt file:

Where do I exactly add this text?

Anywhere you want. I'd suggest adding it to the end of the file.

That didn't work I'm afraid. Maybe I should format the SD card and install all over again? What do you suggest, how to do this? A friend of mine bought this as a gift for me, it was already installed.
