Hello,
I'm a new user of dietpi (2-3 weeks) with a raspberry pi 2. I'm very pleased so far with this distribution!
I tried yesterday to boot my new raspberry pi 3 with the same SD card: no luck. The green led goes blinking (4 long bips, 4 short bips, 1 seconde pause and so on…). I tried with a fresh install of dietpi on another SD card, same problem.
It doesn't come from the pi: I tried with a fresh install of raspbian lite, and it's working well!
Any idea what I can try?
Dietpi with Rapsberry pi 3 Topic is solved

Hi shlagwu,
For RPiv3 where is a new image (only Jessie - 2016-03-03 13:15 119M ): https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/216
Have you tried this?
The same image one the same SD Card, as you used in RPi2? Which version? Jessie or Wheezy?shlagwuk wrote: I tried yesterday to boot my new raspberry pi 3 with the same SD card: no luck.

I believe this indicates the RPi3 firmware/boot loader is missing from /boot. This would suggest you are writing the older DietPi image.
Please make sure you are using the updated image. Use this direct link to download the image, then write again to SD:

If problems persist with the updated image, please let me know.
