[arm-allstar] RPi 4B won't boot, LED pattern 'Unsupported board type'

[N4UPC]

Larry,

It is probably the 1.5 board version. For it to boot HamVoip, do the following:

1) On an unused card, burn the latest Raspberry Pi OS to it and boot it up on your new Ras Pi 4B. You can either sftp or use a USB thumb drive to copy two files in the /boot directory: start4.elf and fixup4.dat

2) Once you have these files, shut down the Ras Pi 4B board and remove the Ras Pi OS card.

3) Boot your HamVoip card on your Ras Pi 3B board, go into the /boot directory and rename the existing start4.elf to orig-start4.elf and the fixup4.dat to orig-fixup4.dat. Copy the the two files from step 1 to the /boot directory.

4) Shut down the Ras Pi 3B, move the card to your new Ras Pi 4B and it should boot up.

I can also email you the files if it would be better. Just let me know directly.

73,
