I will give it a try this weekend and see if I can recreate that error.<br /><br />The only thing I can think of is:<br />- Make sure you've unpacked the image. The image downloaded from Andrei's cloud storage is packed in a tar.gz package. MAC is able to unpack this by just double clicking the file (the file should only have a .img at the end).<br /><br />I'll give it a try at some point this weekend and see if I get the same issue as you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379764476691281726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916030958686584529.post-14503576487174523322014-09-26T14:37:58.310+03:002014-09-26T14:37:58.310+03:00Hi Brandon how are you ?

Yes, to install this you should wipe/reformat your SD Card. This can be done using the iMAC disk utility tool.<br /><br />The script that Andrei posted to update to his rpiCarPC-Update-2014-08-20 is a folder which contains a bunch of folders (controller update, radio update, skin update) and a update script (update.sh). However, this script didn't work for me so I just replaced the folders on my SD card (after flashing the original image) with the ones from the update. However, you need to be in a linux environment to do this. You can create a dual environment on an iMAC with ubuntu using these instructions:<br />http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/dual-boot-os-ubuntu<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379764476691281726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916030958686584529.post-89950760463993431182014-09-25T22:29:15.730+03:002014-09-25T22:29:15.730+03:00Hi again

Is there a reason you are not using HDMI?<br /><br />Vadim is correct... you need to "image" the SD card with the ISO file. There are a couple of ways you can do it but since you have a Imac it is pretty easy.<br /><br />Please follow these instructions (there are a few ways you can do this):<br />http://computers.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-flash-an-sd-card-for-raspberry-pi--mac-53600<br /><br />Hope this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379764476691281726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916030958686584529.post-14173489401075182292014-09-25T20:22:21.714+03:002014-09-25T20:22:21.714+03:00Image is not a program which you need to put somew...Image is not a program which you need to put somewhere.
