Sparky usbridge is not found in network after 1 day

[cantonna7]

Hi

 

I just received my allo sparky usbridge transport on Apr 20, initial impression is really really great compared to my pi3.

 

However, no joy the next day.  I find it is not so stable. In last 3 days, when I powered it on , it just did not show up in network. The sparky led (top) is blue while the usbridge led  (bottom) is red.  I used the stocked power adapter.

 

I tried insert my pi3 volumio sd which is working fine.    I tried another  LAN cable and switch port which works well with my Pi3 or Laptop, but all not working.

 

I tried to check from its console by connect via hdmi to my TV , but the TV does not detect it .  I am quite sure the hdmi has been working good with my Blu-ray player.

 

Please can Allo support suggest what to do? Thanks.

 

Regards

Matthew

On sparky Blue Led indicates power and sparky red led flashes on boot complete.

Pi sd card will not work with usbridge.

 

is the eMMC fitted properly on sparky bottom , please check.

 

the red led led on sparky not flashing, the OS not booting properly. I that case need to reflash the Allo webGUI version dietpi IMage or volumio latest sparky image.

My stock usbridge transport comes with emmc installed Volumio. So does my pi3, theoretically the pi sd can boot up.

 

Anyway, I tried disconnect the usbridge board , with the emmc inserted properly and the sparky itself still cannot not boot up. Still blue led on.

 

Thanks,

Matthew

Hi, I tried format and flash the emmc with latest volumio and dietpi image, both same result. The sparky still gets blue led on, means it fails to boot up either OS.

 

I really don't know what to do next.

can you flash sparky volumio image on one SD card and check one time.

 

on sparky red led has to on/off 2 sec interval on booting.

Finally get it works, by flash Volumio image on sd and remove emmc..

 

Pretty sure there is something wrong on the emmc. However, I did successfully flash dietpi OS on the emmc... Anyway, it is good to have music out.

I got the USBridge.
It gets powered on from the 5V DC connector, but it doesn’t boot at all.
Blue LED on Sparky and red LED on USBridge are both static.
No other LEDs are lit.
I connected a screen on the hdmi, but it doesn’t get any signal.

Neither of the PWR and the RST buttons respond.

 

Am I doing something wrong?
