Zynthian 5.1 RPi5 issue after first boot, red LED on + green LED blinks 3 times

Hi @marco!

If the issue persists, please try disabling the overclocking in the SD-image before booting the zynthian V5.1 for first time. It must be a fresh burned SD-image. I mean, you never tried to boot with it before. For doing so, follow this instructions:

  • Burn a fresh SD-image with the latest stable
  • Mount the SD-card in your computer
  • Edit this file in the root partition (the bigger partition in the SD-card):

/zynthian/zynthian-sys/config/zynthian_envars_V5_pi5.sh

  • Replace the overclocking value from “Medium” to “None”:

export ZYNTHIAN_OVERCLOCKING=“None”

Umount the SD-card and try booting your V5.1 with it.

It seems that the number of RBPi5 boards not supporting overclocking is higher than expected and we should disable overclocking by default. Currently it’s set to “medium”.

BTW, the RPi5 board you are using has been bought from the zynthian shop or you buy it from other place?

Ahhh! if the thermal pad is damaged by the umounting/mounting process, i would send you more.

Regards,
