secureBoot config generation limited to certain releases?

Product support balenaOS

I’m trying to generate a configfile for the latest version of the ‘generic-amd64’ device with secureBoot enabled.
When I try to do so, it gives me the error Error: No 6.0.36 release for generic-amd64

The last release for which this works is 6.0.25+rev1, after which there are about 5 more releases: Releases · balena-os/balena-generic · GitHub

If I don’t use the --secureBoot flag, then config generation works fine for 6.0.36.

I’ve noticed that the list of versions available also stops at 6.0.24+rev1 when using balena cli to download the os:
balena os download generic-amd64 -o /tmp/os.img --version menu

I tried to replicate the problem using open-balena, and I’m running into (kind of) the same issue there: I cannot generate config files when the --secureBoot flag is enabled (for any version). I found on the forums somewhere though that balena os download commands don’t work for open-balena though, so that might be a different issue.

I can’t seem to edit my post, but I meant to say ‘6.0.24+rev1’ instead of ‘6.0.25+rev1’ as the last release for which this is functional.

Hi @MBMB, the last deployed version for the Generic x86_64 (GPT) device type is 6.0.24+rev1. You can check the available releases in the balenaCloud dashboard or using the balenaCLI:

balena os versions generic-amd64

Indeed the balena-generic repository has releases up to 6.0.36, but those have not been deployed to the cloud as the build pipeline for that device type is currently broken.
