  • I am using Openelec 6 on a Pi Zero. However to get it to work I had to reformat the (previously used) card with SD Formatter with options Full (Overwrite) and Format Size Adjustment ON. Then I wrote the IMG to the card and it booted OK.

    CPC farnell (my local wholesaler) who are a main Pi distributor told me that the product is no longer available (check their website) but a new product to be released mid march early april , NOT a cut down Pi tho

    would be surprised if they have discontinued already as they appear to have engineered a big demand
