Hello.

I have purchased the new HA Yellow, version 3.0 | Seehttps://www.home-assistant.io/yellow/
Also I have purchased this RPI 2 GB RAM , 32 GB eMMC, CM4 | https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-4/?variant=raspberry-pi-cm4102032
Have unpacked alltogether, followed this installation procedure Installing the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) – Home Assistant Yellow
After the HA box with the mounted CM4 inside is ready, I have connected the 12V power to the HA box and also connected the Ethernet cable from it to my home router LAN port.

As a result, I went to the GUI of my router and checked whether any new device has requested the IP address , and I have not found any new device out there…So, simply as it is in the subject - I can’t get the HA to work for me, it does not accept the IP . Please help, what to do next.

I have reviewed the manual ( Getting Started – Home Assistant Yellow ) more closely and understood that the OS has to be installed.

I thought it was “all OOTB already there, and I need to only deploy the CM4 on it, which is obviously not…”

After I have followed the Getting Started – Home Assistant Yellow
I was able to flush the OS onto USB, plug in the USB, wait for some time, and got it all working.
