@Ameyalgudkar no idea… i see the latest images are all at kernel 5.4

https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/

[Ameyalgudkar]

@sdetweil If you could make a copy of your image file or if you have it saved on your disk maybe?
could you upload it to google cloud or something?

after official version, i don’t know…
it’s always been a bit boring to do a build correctly…

@Ameyalgudkar:
I see in the error log it’s an x64 build…

In MagicMirror requirement it’s specified to download the lasted version of raspbian with desktop

The official website is https://www.raspberrypi.org/ and on the download page there no x64 version
So you use a beta version with … beta bugs and Complex Module of MagicMirror don’t support x64 version.

Best way ?
Like windows and others OS you can’t transform x64 to 32bits (and 32bits to x64 too)
so best way is reinstall OS with 32bits version

@Bugsounet he is doing on pi, System Linux 5.4.51-v7l+ < — v7l

i am going to test ubuntu pi 64 bit tomorrow.

couldn’t wait…

fix

need to install libcblas

sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev

then both my installations using snowboy correctly rebuilt… on ubuntu 64 on pi4.

@Bugsounet said in MMM Awesome Alexa installing snowboy.:

@Ameyalgudkar:

I am indeed running the 32bit Raspberry Pi OS latest from the official downloads, and not any beta versions.
I don’t know why the installer is running it in x64.

[Ameyalgudkar]

Also now I am facing this problem where, no matter what I do, RPI4 does not take any other sd card boot image and boot that particular system.
For instance, My 32gb with working MM and RPI OS 32bit, boot up without any problem.
But then, I tried booting with a older build of RPI OS, Ubuntu(https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi) 32bit for Pi4.

Both tried on different sd cards with 8gb/32gb and also reformatting it several times and everything.

I feel just so exhausted doing all this and thinking of returning my RPI4 if it has so may issues.

internal firmware :) (eeprom)

[sdetweil]

@Bugsounet doesn’t the newer system apply the firmware update automatically?

see here for the firmware test and update procedure
