Good day,

I spent a chunk of last night, and most of this morning, trying (and failing) to get a newly-purchased Pi 4B (4GB Memory) to boot the current RasPBX image (raspbx-10-10-2020.img). Here's what I've tried so far.

  • Two different sizes/manufacturers for SDHC cards (32GB and 64GB, PNY and SanDisk, respectively).
  • Imaging the SDHC cards with Win32 Imager, Raspberry Pi imager (both Windows and Ubuntu) and Gnome's disk utility on Ubuntu.

    Nothing doing. Every time I plug the resultant card into the Pi, and power it up, I get the same four slow blinks followed by four fast blinks from the green LED and that's it.

    Here's what's bizarre: I've also tried writing a generic RasPi image to both of those same SD cards... And it works perfectly!

    I can only conclude there's some kind of issue with the current RasPBX image...?

    Another thing I'm going to try, later today, is hooking up a display to the Pi (need to get a cable) .and see if I'm getting any error messages. I will pass such on if I do.

    Assistance welcome. Thanks!

    (UPDATE, 19-Aug-23 14:40 PDT)

    I managed to hook up a display to the Pi, and I think I've found what it's objecting to. Along with the usual POST messages, it kept saying 'start4.elf is not compatible. This board requires newer software.'

    So -- Unless there's a newer RasPBX version than what I downloaded, I'm going to have to see if I can build Asterisk manually.

(FURTHER UPDATE)

I see this issue has already been addressed in the bug report section. I will follow the workaround instructions there.
