RISC OS freezing after it gets to desktop - Raspberry Pi Forums

-

hi there,

risc os. ah, sheer joy of being able return halcyon days of youth... how remember hours spent in school lab programming in bbc basic on model , b, or @ home on spectrum, ql, amstrad et al.

never did manage archimedes, followed closely in computing press. fitting therefore risc os should first os booted on new pi. alas, not plain sailing...

mentioned, i've received 512mb pi. before powering on, downloaded , installed official ris os image raspberrypi.org downloads page, , transferred scuccessfully 4gb ssd (via os x terminal command line). popped pibow case measure :)

far good. booting risc os seems fine. no keyboard found error have read elsewhere on these forums legacy of not finding ps/2 keyboard.

bootup finishes fine , end on desktop. able move mouse about 10 seconds , freezes indefinitely. desktop image stays solid, no input seems recognised.

have thoughts?

setup
rasppi 512 mb
4gb no-brand old ssd. possibly issue?
micrsoft usb wheel mouse (not sure version exactly, quite basic one)
a4 tech keyboard e14/farnell
power supply e14/farnell
hdmi cable off ebay (gold plated - seems fine, picture rock solid)

in advance!

bit of random thought may not relevant: have been hapily using riscos while had similar problems other day. problems began when started mucking around battery packs. assumption batteries ran out during boot causing sd card become corrupted. symptoms experienced similar yours. solved them re-formatting , re-imaging card.

solve problem? caused power failure corrupting card?

hello ! wrote today article on blog cpu load monitoring (using gpio , leds) on raspberry's. simple (written in little shell script), think can useful (for people want learn leds stuff on r. pi) there 5 leds turning on , off regarding cpu load: - cpu < 20%: 1 led - cpu < 40%: 2 leds - cpu < 60%: 3 leds - cpu < 80%: 4 leds - cpu < 90%: 5/5 leds - cpu >= 90%: 5 leds flashing here article: written in french, can watch youtube video , download code @ bottom of article. http://www.chteuchteu.com/2012/10/26/ra ... e-au-gpio/ if find errors in code, can post comment on article. ! up code enhancements ? raspberrypi
