I've been unable to get the apollo to boot. I ran a checksum on the image I downloaded and it doesn't match. I've re-downloaded twice and neither matches. Anyone have advice? I'm using a windows 10 pc and downloaded using both chrome and edge.

If it’s flashing yellow it’s working fine. What are you using to run the checksum?

Yellow flashing means it’s booting and not getting a network connection. You have it plugged in via Ethernet and ran an ip finder on your network?

Thanks for the response.

I ran the checksum with command prompt, yes it's plugged in via Ethernet but it's not being assigned an IP by my network. Anything else I plug into the ethernet is immediately assigned an IP.
Did you hash check the IMG or the ZIP of the IMG?

I figured out what I was doing wrong with checksum, I was using MD5 instead of SHA256. The checksum on the IMG matches. I've tried to create an ISO on the micro SD using Etcher but it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried on a sandisk 8gb and a Kingston 16gb with no luck. There doesn't seem to be any settings in Etcher to change. I read that I have to make sure the image is on the whole disk not sure how to do that.
