| - | - Insert the MicroSD card into the Raspberry Pi and power it on. It could take up to five minutes to boot. Watch the blinking green activity light on the Raspberry Pi indicating that the Raspberry is loading files. Once the blinking stops, wait another 15-30 seconds before proceeding. If the activity light of Raspberry does not blink at all after powering up, the MicroSD card may not be properly inserted, it may not have been properly flashed or the image used was corrupted. You may need to retrace your steps up to this point. \\ {{ :guides:pics:raspberry_activity.jpg?500 |}} | + | - It could take up to five minutes to boot.
