Hi. I have a brand new RaspiKey 16GB. Works fine on my RPi 4B but when I try it in my, also brand new, RPi zero 2 w it won't boot. Using a regular SD 16GB works fine in PRi02w.

Solution?

You may want to double check the connection.

You may want to check the OS version on your RasPiKey. RPi zero 2 was released after RPi 4B, so it is possible the OS version is not new enough for RPi zero 2.

Sp I wanted to change the OS on the RaspiKey. Put it in my laptops (Windows 11) built in micro-sd card reader. It can't find the RaspiKey. Ok. So I bought a "goodbay usb 3.0 -USB-c 2-in-1 card reader" and put the RaspiKey in that. Can't find it. How do I connect to the RaspiKey to put on another OS?

I used Pi image tool and downloaded latest edition of RPi OS to RaspiKey.

RPi 02w don't boot on it. Put it in RPi 4B, it boots. I update OS. Put it back in 02w, don't boot.

Put normal microSD card in RPi 02w, it boots normally.

What to do?
