Exchange SD-card RPi with Zero W
-
MM installed on Raspberry Pi 3 works fine but when I take out the SD card and put it in a Raspberry Pi Zero W the MM will not start and reports there is something wrong within the config file. Is this a well known issue?
-
If you do a simple search for Pi Zero using the magnifying glass icon at the top right of this window, you’ll find plenty of info on installing MM on that version of Pi.
With that said, I’m pretty sure you can’t swap the SD card from a Pi3 installation into the Pi Zero.

@Mykle1
It is not my intention to re-install on Zero but use my RPi3 installation via card swap. Reading your answer I understand this is not possible. When I enter “~/MagicMirror $ npm start” there is a segmentaion fault message shown. -
@MM-Hans Check if this works, haven’t tried it myself but problems looks the same.

@Ultimatum22 Thanks but it looks Zero is not supported. When I try to install directly on it the MM2 auto installation reports:
“Sorry, your Raspberry Pi is not supported. Please run MagicMirror on a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3. If this is a Pi Zero, you are in the same boat as the original Raspberry Pi. You must run in server only mode.”
-
@MM-Hans That is true, Mykle1 already said that. My post was after you swapped the SD card with an existing installation of MM on it.

@Ultimatum22 Thanks, just gave up and use my RPi 3 ;-)
