Compulab Balena Image flash doesn't work anymore

Hey there, with the latest Hardware versions the Compulab Image flash doesn’t work anymore.
I used always this and it worked without any problems in the past.

Used hardware: IOTDIN-IMX8P 2GB DRAM

console log shows:

Maybe they changed the RAM chip and you have to provide a newer Balena release version?

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards

I’ve analyzed the latest firmware boot version.

And i think you are missing the
Nanya chip in your images.

As you can see in their release notes, some changes are needed in the latest hardware revision and their own image.

Can you update the BalenaOS? We use the Compulab hardware for production environments and are not able to flash any of the hardware with the latest hardware revision.

With the latest BalenaOS version (>v6.11.8+rev1) the issue is fixed.

Flashing and booting works both as expected again.
