Hi there, I’ve been developing with the balenaOS development image on a raspberry pi 4 successfully so far. I’m now trying to scale the application with a proof of concept fleet with balenaCloud (Free starter mode), so as I understand it need to use image generated from my dashboard in order to pr…

Very odd. Can you try downloading this , configuring it with your sshKeys and see if that boots unmanaged?

@ab77 sorry for the delayed response. Just having no luck with any versions other than 2.51.1. The device isn’t booting, the partitions are not expanding out, HDMI shows a blank screen though some output (white characters on a black background) has been observed for the briefest of moments sporadi…

Hi Henry, Sorry to hear you are still having issues. Please let us know how the new SD cards work for you. Another thing you can try to debug this issue is enable uart on config.txt in the SD card and try to see if you get any output from the console when trying to boot v2.56. Here are some instruc…

Hi Felipe, Thanks for the link, I’ll have a go at connecting with a terminal. I have two pi4 model b 8GB, same behaviour on both devices and with across different SD cards. Henry

I’m also experiencing a weird booting problem with my raspberry pi 4 that could be related: When trying to boot balenaOS 2.56 or 2.58 on my raspberry pi 4 with a keyboard attached, the device will not boot.

Thank you, we’ll have to try and reproduce this and figure out what is causing this issue in balenaOS > 2.51.1.

Hi Steffen, does this happen only on first boot or also once you plug the keyboard into a device again that has booted successfully before ?

Are you able to try this on v2.58.6?
