Troubleshooting • Re: RPi5 8GB homeassistant - firmware not found

resolved - I'm embarassed to say this whole time I for some reason had in my head that this was a raspberry pi 5, and it's a pi 4 8gb, not a pi5 8gb.

my apologies, that's such a silly mistake.

but I guess if anyone else is having strange issues like this you may want to re-verify that your model is what you think it is.
Good that you reported back. You wouldn't have had the issue if there would be only 1 image for HAOS Aarc64, but instead, they (or many organizations) create or have to create dedicated images for every board or variant of board or brand or vendor.

Compare to x86, only 1 'image' or 1 'thing' to download/do. HA does or needs the same hypocrisy as RPL, even worse. For RPi5, they only include the 16k pages kernel (and DTBs) (kernel_2712.img). So a RPi4 can't find kernel8.img, standard 64-bit 4k pages kernel everywhere also in normal generic distros. RPi5 can simply work/use that 4k kernel,8.img so a single image for RPi would do. The trade-off is just a joke if you consider the whole HA thing. The OS is custom buildroot, all very compressed and small, but the data it generates is huge. I was just shocked that there is no easy way of down-sampling old time-series data. So '32GB is minimum' is stated. I have an HA test instance that I limit to 6GB space. It is supervised on top of standard Debian (in a KVM), not custom OS with A/B Ext4. I block access to outside internet, so then it stays small. Else watch it pile up old versions etc etc.
