Hi, so I got two new raspi 3 A+ (tested them with another OS and they work fine) and want to run balenaOS on them. I tried a number of versions (64 bit, 32 bit, newest version, older versions, production and development etc) but I always get the same error code right after plugging the power cable in (4 long 7 short which apparently means type b power error). There is no other output and I could not find anything about a related issue so I appreciate any kind of help.
Hello, for the error code, are you referring to the green LED? That flashing usually indicates a boot issue of some sort (rpi-update, now no longer boots - Raspberry Pi Forums) Please provide the copyright date on the board (where it reads c Raspberry Pi 2018 or 2022) near the GPIO pins. Perhaps you have a newer revision of the board. I just tested balenaOS 4.0.26 on a 3A+ (2018) and it did boot normally.
Hello,
My colleague asked:

I’m guessing that you are using the 2022 version (which was actually released in 2023). That version needs updated firmware, which we will incorporate into balenaOS. There is a GitHub PR for this: rpi-bootfiles.bbappend: Update rpi firmware to version 20230509 by floion · Pull Request #1075 · balena-os/balena-raspberrypi · GitHub. Since you can follow the progress in the PR, I’m going to close this ticket. But if you have a remaining question, you are welcome to reply and the ticket will automatically re-open.
