I have never installed on a Mini PC before. I have no interest in Windows being on the machine, nor as a virtual box; I literally want it dedicated to Home Assistant and to use a Zigbee dongle. How can I get it up and running please?
Copying the HAOS disk image from your Desktop computer onto your boot medium (e.g. by using a USB to S-ATA adapter). This is not an option for a non-removable eMMC on your x86-64 hardware, of course. To use this method, follow the steps described in the procedure below: Write the image to your boot media.
As I can’t install an internal SSD, does this mean I need to always run Home Assistant from an external boot media e.g. USB, USB SSD, SD Card?
Continue with "3. Select “Flash from URL” from this tutorial
When you select a destination for balenaEtcher select the eMMC it will look something like this /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc Identify it by the capacity (32gb??).
Hi, thank you for the steps however it’s not working.
Step 8 onwards to flashing, balena etcher cannot see my internal emmc to flash to. The only sda or sdc etc options are Ubuntu on my USB stick. No other location to flash to.
Help?
EDIT: I definitely have Secure Boot disabled in my bios and UEFI enabled
