Hello Kali forums,
I recently got a Raspberry Pi 3 B v2 and decided I wanted to try and install kali on it. Naturally I went to the kali documentation (https://docs.kali.org/kali-on-arm/kali-linux-raspberry-pi2) and follow the instructions to setup a boot-able micro-sd-card. Unfortunately it did not work. After inserting the sd-card and plugging in the Pi, nothing happened. No display, no disk activity, nothing, just the red power light. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I might get this to work since I've seen several threads on successful attempts. I've provided instructions on what I have tried below to help pin-point the problem.
Installation attempts
1: I installed the latest kali ARM (https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-arm-images/) version for the Pi 3. [Kali Linux RaspberryPi 2, 3 and 4 32 bit (https://images.offensive-security.com/arm-images/kali-linux-2019.2a-rpi3-nexmon.img.xz)]
2: Once downloaded I moved it to my kali linux vm using a usb drive.
3. Then following the command used on the documentation, (xzcat kali-$version-rpi2.img.xz |ddof=/dev/sdb bs=512k)I wrote the image to my micro-sd-card which was plugged into my computer via a usb adapted I had.
4: After the process was done I inserted it into my raspberry Pi and plugged it in.
I have also tried this with a unzipped version and with the 64bit version all with the same results. The application I used to unzip the image was 7zip and the archive manager that comes with kali linux.
EDIT:
The issue was the tool I was using to write the image to the sd-card. Thank you webbsmurfen (https://forums.kali.org/member.php?24725-webbsmurfen) for helping me solve this problem!
