Hi,

I just got a brand new Core3 32GB and I am trying to upload an image.

Bu the Rpiboot des not connect to the device, please find the info I get

Waiting for BCM2835/6/7/2711...
Sending bootcode.bin
Successful read 4 bytes
Waiting for BCM2835/6/7/2711...

I tried rebooting windows on "Disable driver signature enforcement", but it makes no good.

On device manager, I can see the Core 3 as " Universal bus devices : BCM2710"

Could anyone give me a hint ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi gildas, this is unfortunately a common problem. Have a look at the FAQ at "I want to save or restore a system image. Why does RPiBoot.exe not connect to my device?"

Hy Dirk and gildas,
I have a similar problem with a brand new RevPi Connect+.
RPIBoot only shows:
"Waiting for BCM2835/6/7/2711..."

The device is indicated in the device manager as "Broadcom BCM2710 Boot".
Apparently, RPIBoot is not waiting for that device. I reinstalled RPIBoot according to your tutorials and also reinstalled the driver. Nothing worked yet.

Do you have further suggestions?
Best, Robert

Dear all,
the problem was resolved by installing the newest guest additions to the VM I was using for windows.
Best, Robert
