RetroPie working with CM3 and Media Stick

I would check how you are connected to the module. I originally had a ton of trouble powering the module and sending the OS all via the USB.

I was using a rather long USB with a button on it that I typically use for the rPi’s. But that didn’t work for programing the CM3. I needed to use a very high quality cord less than 1 ft long.

WD recommends using a powered hub as an option as well.

Not recognizing CM3

Sometimes rebooting the host PC has helped in my experience. If you (or others) would like to help me investigate this area, please send me an email (dave.chew@wdc.com) and I can send some hardware- CM3, media stick, CM-to-SATA ada…
