RPi5 Test images

All images have been tested on a 4gb Rpi5 bought int Nov-Dec 2023, updated with latest EEPROM. Not official images by any length. It is recommended to use Balena Etcher. Rpi Imager has had issues with the images built by the program suite used to build the images.

The image below is not recommended for use and is only being left for historical reasons.

I get this error message when trying to burn the image

Wrong image as it seems to be nearly 6GB in size.

Not wrong image. Some people didn't read the opening post completely.

 As stated in the opening post:

That image is depreciated.
Please use the image on the downloads page

Dang it, i did vaguely recall someone or you mentioning this before, but i was not sure.

Alright, gotcha. Btw I tried balena etcher as well but it did not work either. Only reason I wanted to try this image is since I'm not able to install ethercat on the latest one...

I give up.

I would have thought cornholio would have included the ethercat repos. But you could use the provided script in a sticky in the Ethercat section that should work

Sorry for the lack of info from my side, but I get the same issue with balena etcher fyi, not that it matters apparently since it's not the latest image any more
