I have a Raspberry Pi 3 that is not booting with the latest Ardusub-Raspbian Image (downloaded from [http://ardusub.com/raspi-setup/](http://ardusub.com/raspi-setup/)). The Pi boots successfully with just Raspbian, but with the Ardusub software, the ACT light just goes on but does not flicker. Any ideas? ---

Please try downloading, extracting, and writing the image to the sd card again. It is possible for the image to get corrupted during these steps. I will try myself in the meantime to verify that the image online is working. -Jacob ---

I just updated the link on that page to point to the [latest](https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.bluerobotics.com/Pi/stable/ardusub-raspbian.img.zip) ArduSub-Raspbian image. ---

I have confirmed that the image linked above works. If it still doesn’t work for you after going through the imaging process again, I would begin to think that your RPi 3 may have broken. You could perhaps try installing the official Raspbian image to verify what the issue is. I have had an RPi working fine for a long time, then after a simple reboot, it would not work. The ACT light just stayed lit like you describe, even with the sd card image verified to be correct on another working RPi. I ascribed the issues with that unit to ESD damage. ---

@jorywong - What size SD card are you using? Please note that the current image requires an SD card of 8GB or greater. If you try to flash it to a smaller SD card it will be corrupt. ---

@jwalser thanks so much, it’s working now! ---

Hi Jacob, The link for ArduSub-Raspbian image is not working. Please could you update the link for working image. Regards. ---

Thank you, but it still not work, i think the problem is that image is not adapted for RPi b+ model ---

Hi Ezzeddine, You can check my answer here: > [@QGroundControl and Raspberry Pi through SSH](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/qgroundcontrol-and-raspberry-pi-through-ssh/738/26): > > Hi Ezzeddine, You can check the status of the raspberry pi b+ development here: Right now we don’t have plans to create a working image with it, but you should be able to install companion via our [repository here](https://github.com/bluerobotics/companion), problem can be found though. We recommend to use the older version.
