      4.3.14 stretch images are now available in the first post.

      I will be testing them out on my Raspberry Pi 3 B+ when it arrives. But the packages are up to date, so they should work.

        @buzz Nice, I was wondering if you saw my post about this.

        Thanks for them, I didn't buy a Pi 3B+ (not yet).

          Looks like there may be a problem with the images - as I can't boot them here from a quick test. Possibly due to upstream Raspbian changes that are incompatible with the build script. Will update with more information soon.

          [edit] Actually it could be my desktop/build system, as I updated it recently.

          [edit] It was: They are missing the fat partition :-)

          mkfs.vfat: command not found
          

          Have fixed up the image builder dependencies. Currently building 4.3.15 images.

            @buzz Got a 3B+ already. I'm not super-advanced, but happy to use my extra card with the new Pi to see if and how things work. Ping me when you have what you think is a working image and I'll grab it.

              4.3.15 stretch images are now available in the first post. They should work on the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ but I have not yet tested. They boot on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

              The images are based on the latest Raspbian Stretch Lite.

                I can confirm the 2/3/3+ image works correctly on the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

                  @buzz you happen to have the wifi or the network with pi 3b + and 4.3.15?

                    @mikozzz Just tested LAN - for Wifi on the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ you need to set the country (same as with Raspbian Stretch)

                    WiFi is disabled until wireless regulatory domain is set (Pi 3 B+ only)
                    - The domain can be done through 'Raspberry Pi Configuration' (rc_gui),
                    'raspi-config' or by setting 'country=' to an appropriate ISO 3166
                    alpha2 country code in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.

                        @mikozzz that's not enough information for me to go on. Can you see the internet from the RPI ? Did you enable SSH ? How is your RPI connected?

                            The .15 image boots up fine for me.

                            No, i can't see my wifi networks straight away (i have both 2.4 and 5.0).

                            Found the setting to set Wifi Country (Canada for me). Pi asked for reboot, which i did. Now i can see both 2.4 and 5.0 networks. That got me an IP so i assume all is well.

                            edit:

                            I also set Pi name and password before looking at the wifi stuff.
                            Wifi indeed works as it can find RPie Setup Script and a couple of themes.

                            edit:

                            Based on a quick test with N64 Rogue Squadron, the music is still pretty scratchy and the game sluggish as usual. However, N64 Mario Kart seems better on both counts than I recall.

                            Finally, I can't seem to get my Mac Transmit app to connect. I can browse it in the Finder just fine, though I always found Transmit gets me to a higher (root?) starting point. I can still connect via Finder or Transmit with my old Pi fine. Yes I've enabled SSH. Transmit settings are identical for the two devices, except for the IP address, which I've set aside for each device in my router.

                            Oh well, enough for now :)

                              No real -need- for me to update, and I'd normally be in that camp... though having the opportunity to grab one on release day, not at all going more than 5 mins out of my way, was just too easy to pass up :)

                                So I was under the impression that one could just take the microSD card out of a Pi3B and put it into a Pi3B+ and it would work. From reading this thread that sounds like very much not the case?

                                  @alturis I don't have a new model available, but leaving aside the new hardware support, it should work - as in it would boot up and the OS would run.
                                  EDIT: seems I'm wrong, it won't work, so the Stretch image is the way to go.

                                    @mitu @Alturis I would want to believe that that's the case, but some reports online suggest otherwise.

                                    I have received mine, just haven't had the chance to open them and plug them in, though I'll hopefully try during the weekend or so.

                                    Would love to hear some reports from others who might have received theirs.

                                      I can confirm that a "lift and drop" of your existing Pi3 sd card will not work. It will just display the "rainbow screen" and a voltage warning indicator. I've just tested it now....

                                      Edit: the image I tested though was a non-updated 4.3 image. So running a full update may yield better results!

                                      Using the 4.3.15 Stretch image, all looks good to me (so far). For WiFi you'll need to configure the location in Raspi-Config.

                                        @tashman Thank you for the report.

                                        Indeed I was also greeted by the rainbow screen.

                                        I wonder if I try an update and see how it fares, or if I go straight to the new image. Might do the latter.

                                            what happens when you run an update from a Beta version?
