When it came time to actually boot the odroid, the fan spins a little, the “ALIVE” LED flashes for like a microsecond, and then it all stops and just hangs there.
I verified my odroid actually works by burning a different OS (used etcher and everything to make the SD card), and it actually booted. I additionally tried using the balena CLI to download older versions of balena OS and none worked.
Hi, can you please try the steps for enabling a device through our cloud dashboard: https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/getting-started/odroid-xu4/nodejs/
It will be easier to set it up through the dashboard since you won’t have to configure the image with the CLI, but may use a preconfigured one.
Please let us know if that fixes it for you.
Thanks,
Zahari
Hey this has actually been working the whole time. I plugged into HDMI and saw an actual log of the device booting and turns out the fan / LED was shutting off even though balena had booted.
no worries
