[arm-allstar] Problem booting RPi image

[David McGough]

Hi Les,


I'll try to help you get going. First, are you using Linux or MSWin on 
your host system, where you're flashing the SD card? And, what OS version?

With the .xz file, it must be decompressed (yielding the .img flash image
which is 4089446400 bytes in size).

With the .exe file, it must be executed on a MSWin system. After
uncompressing, you'll again have the .img file, which is the same size as 
above. You'll also have copies of putty.exe, WinSCP and Win32diskimager, 
which were bundled with the .exe file archive.

Then, for MSWin, install the Win32diskimager software and flash the .img 
file to the SD card.

Just as a confirmation, I again tested the current firmware files from the
hamvoip.org website, and they boot fine for me here.
