If you flashed the pi4 64bit image, then you are already there. Just don’t hit the update button in the ui until it shows a 5.X release for the update (likely won’t be long before that happens).
Also, I agree with @carsten_h. The accepted method is to restore from a snapshot. Just be sure you update your addons and disable your database(s) before taking a snapshot.
My old HA has been run on Laptop, Ubuntu, Docker and it not HassOS. Also it was 32 bit.
@Vlad followed your exact process and I can’t get to the setup screen. It shows up on my router as homeassistant and I try the IP but it doesn’t connect. Very frustrating day… any ideas???
Maybe not good USB adapter.
I’m using Plugable USB C to M.2 NVMe Tool-free Enclosure USB C and Thunderbolt 3 + Kingston 250GB A2000 M.2 2280 Nvme Internal SSD PCIe Up to 2000MB/S
@Vlad hmm I was able to get Raspbian running on the SSD this morning and setup HASS manually, so not the hardware. However I want to retain the Hass.io style management.
You mentioned to stop at Step 7 of the TH guide - did you complete step 7 or complete step 6 and stop?
Just do 6 steps and stop
Did you update the eeprom of the raspberry pi 4? You need one of the latest versions to support boot from usb, and be sure that BOOT_ORDER include that. In my case I updated the eeprom but the BOOT_ORDER was pointing only to the sd card. I needed some time to figure it…
@McGiverGim Yes I just did update the EEPROM, running July 16 version. I also checked BOOT_ORDER, it’s 0xf41, which means SD card, USB mass storage, then reboot to my understanding.
Banging my head against the wall on this one. My SD card died, and now can’t get this to work for the life of me. My other SD card is also basically dead. Thankfully I have backups but I’m tired of kiling SD cards… I’m on number 4 in 2 years.
Only problems I can think:
@McGiverGim I’ll give the quirks change a go. 100% have definitely installed 64-bit HassOS v5.0 on an RPi 4, 4GB.
Right now I have it hooked up to a monitor and it boots but I can’t get it to connect to the network by WiFi or Eth0. My monitor isn’t anywhere near the ethernet cable, so I can only try wifi + monitor or Eth0 and hope it connects, but the router isn’t showing it connected. So I’m trying to do the direct edit of the boot CONFIG/network to try to get it to at least connect to the network.
Annnnnd not it isn’t even booting from SD.
@McGiverGim hey, thanks for the help. I managed to get it booting and running on the USB 2.0 port after editing the my-network file directly in the boot partition. Simply could not get it to take on Eth0 or via FAT32 usb CONFIG method. This should do it!
Next step is to try using Quirks to get USB 3.0 working.
I didn’t use a Quirks. USB works.
You need to run network cable to your PI.
HA will not start and install with out internet connection.
Trying to get HassOS 5.0 to boot from a USB memory stick (PNY 16GB USB3.1 stick), but having the same problem as @truemana. Was following @Vlad’s steps, and have tried to add the quirks config options to config.txt on the HassOS 5.0 installation.
Its booting when using an USB 2.0 port, but not when using a 3.0 port. Strange.
Have same info, bad picture but have no monitor using TV as screen.
Never configure config.txt.
Thanks! Sadly it made no difference :c
It this work with HDD?
I’m using SSD, you can try HD as long it’s used USB 3. connector.
I finally got it working, but now I’m having similar problems as before with an SD, where it still crashes. The front end becomes unreachable but I can still ping it. The SSD light is flashing quickly. Has anyone had this issue?
The whole reason I moved from SD card was to get it running reliably but this has been nothing but problems for the past week. I had it running reliably for a year or so and it’s barely been up this whole week.
When do you guys think the stable v5 will go out?
