I cannot detect my device in development mode

Hello,

I’m currently using Balena CLI 21.1.0 on my Windows machine and have successfully flashed a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W device.

The device is in development mode, with the following details:

  • Host OS version: balenaOS 6.5.1+rev2
  • Supervisor version: 16.12.8

I want to debug my code by connecting to the device locally using the command balena push XXXX.local. However, when I run balena device detect, the device is not being detected.

I can ping my device from my computer.

Could anyone assist me with this issue? Should I check my firewall settings?

Thank you!

Hello @Tl_Thomas first of all welcome to the balena community.

Could you please confirm if you moved the device to Local mode? Develop locally | balena

4

Yes, local mode is enable.

Sometimes, I can push my code (balena push XXXX.local), but the scan command never works.

5

I can ssh my device via balena device ssh XXXX. But I cannot push my code via balena push

6

what’s your balena CLI version @Tl_Thomas ?

Apologizes i didn’t remember to check your first message @Tl_Thomas could you please share here some of the logs or error messages that you see in the CLI?

Thanks!

Hi @Tl_Thomas,

Given the getaddressinfo ENOTFOUND error, it appears that it’s having trouble resolving the d2fad86.local mDNS name. What happens when you try and push using the local IP address instead (balena push <local IP>)?
