Hello everybody, I’ve got a PLC with a quad-core 600Mhz ARM A53 CPU with 512MB RAM
and 16GB eMMC memory storage. It has running Debian 10.
I should set it to boot from USB port (in which will be and SSD with the HA image). Kindly, somebody could indicate me which image should I choose? any lead about the sequence of commands to make the PLC boots from SSD connected to USB port?
Thank you in advance
Seems like a good option would be to just upgrade to Debian 12 and followed by an a supervised HA install. The OS update is well documented (you can cut and paste commands from documentation) and the Supervisor HA is install again just a matter of cutting and pastting a handfull of commands. You could probably do the whole upgrade in a couple of hours. I assume you know how to access the ‘console’ and/or SSH terminal.

I don’t think it will run well (or at all ) in 512mb ram.
Sounds like half a Raspberry Pi 3. 
Long story short: Forget it. And I used to run HA on a device with only 512MB back in the days… 
Please kindly accept that their is no HaOS image available for your device 
If you are still not convinced and want to give HA a try on your thingy you want/need to install Home Assistant Core like explained in the docs
Thank you very much for all your comments. I guess I’m going to give up with HA installation and will use node-red which is already embedded in the PLC. I didn’t do it before as I need to learn from scratch Node-Red
Or get a computer?
Whispers going around that the widely adopted and cheap single board computers are becoming better available again. I expect a plain Raspberry with 1GB of RAM (better go directly with 2GB for a future proof HA Install) for the original price ($35) being much cheaper than this very low performance PLC device @sunsetitaly calls his own. Beside a HaOS image is available for the Raspberry Pi’s which will make it a easy ride
