Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ does not boot

If these conditions obtain:

  • booting for the first time on this hardware
  • using the Raspian OS upgraded on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (without the +)

then it's likely that the boot disk doesn't contain the requisite firmware. So upgrade NOOBS.

sudo mkdir -p /media/pi/MMC_P1
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/pi/MMC_P1
  • delete contents of partition 1
sudo find /media/pi/MMC_P1 -mindepth 1 -delete
  • unzip NOOBS into partition 1
sudo unzip /home/pi/NOOBS_v2_7_0.zip -d /media/pi/MMC_P1
