[arm-allstar] HamVoip Not Booting on RPi 3A+

[David McGough]

Hi Tony,

I've got several ver 1.1 RPi3A+ boards which were purchased several months
ago, they work fine.  So, I'm baffled as to what's wrong.  Also, I'm not
(so far?) getting any other reports of issues....

BTW, I certainly don't discount the possibility of some kind of hardware
change causing this, particularly since many fab houses are producing 
boards.....It's just curious that there have been no other trouble 
reports, so far.

Yes, writing the img file with Win32 after unziping V1.7.
Dave,
I tried 2 different computers now with three different MicroSD Cards and still nothing.  I also updated the Pi's firmware to no avail. 
Could it be that I have a newer revision board (1.1)?

 Are you writing a .img file to the sd card?
