Raspberry Pi & Pico-8 noob here,

I am trying to make the Pico-Pi, using a raspberry pi zeroW. I followed Gamaral's instructions: downloaded Gamaral's windows image picopi-rpi1.zip and copied the files to the fat32 formatted sd card. I copied the unzipped Pico-8 raspberry pi version: pico-8_0.1.10c_raspi to the sd card as welll. Although Gamaral is using a Pico-8 Raspberry-Pi(ARM) version, are there two different versions of Pico-pi for rPi?

When i boot the rPi it freezes on the rainbow screen, after adding the delay=1 to the config doc, the pico-pi boots to a black screen. Progress!

Is the ZeroW not compatible with Pico-Pi?

I have successfully ran Raspbian on the same sd card, zeroW and power supply, so I don't believe my hardware is the problem. Running on a Windows 10 machine if that helps.

Thanks so much for your time.



Did you figure it out?


Some unclear things are in your post!

All raspberry pis are ARM, but different architectures (armhf which is v6 + hardware fpu / armv7 / arm64). The distributions correspondig to the various models are listed here: https://github.com/paloblanco/rpi-buildroot/tree/rpi/dist#distributables

Pi zero w should be mostly identical to pi zero, which is similar to a raspi 1.

It’s not going to be easy to help debug this on a forum; maybe if you come on discord and share your screen you’ll find a helper. (EDIT: just realized this post is from 2017 and you’re not the same person who’s also asking on discord now)
