I have a Raspberry Pi 2 and I created a Linux distribution using buildroot. It generated an sdcard.img file. I tried to format my 8 GB SD card and flashing the sdcard.img on it using:

sudo dd if=~/buildroot/output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdb

When I put the SD card in my Raspberry Pi and I put the power cable the ACT blink 2 times.

I don't understand. What is the problem?

2 flashes mean the SD card cannot be read. Have you verified that your command really flashed the correct device? Have you verified that your SD card is okay? Have you verified if the image is properly flashed on the SD card?

Maybe your image simply does not work.

You may not have formatted the SD Card properly. I personally use the creatively named "SDFormatter" (blue SD Card logo) to format the cards first.

I used ImageWriter and I reformated the sdcard and the raspberrypi booted very well.
