Thanks Mark, and N5XMT,
My 1.5 image still works fine on a PI 3 so I'll leave it alone (do
not upgrade).? Since it appears the 2.2 image is working on a Pi 4,
I'll start working on that one as I begin testing my SignaLink.
Mark,
It was this thread I was originally referring to:
/g/RaspberryPi-4-HamRadio/topic/79365148#12758
It wasn't clear if you had made a new image or not.? But you -did-
have trouble with newer Pi 4 boards back in December 2020 and posted
in Jan 2021.?? This one works for me, so I'm pressing on.? My
concern is if the image had not been fixed for the later Pi 4, there
may be others in our group who get a different version and the image
won't work.
N5XMT,
Is there an easy way to know if this is an early or later revision??
I do understand the copyright may not change (sometimes it does; I
work in electronics and software industry.)
Thank you,
Asa Jay

If someone does the full
update/upgrade thing on the PiGate image, the PiGate
integration will most likely not work any more.? This is the
problem with open source software....people change things or
break stuff that used to work.? Files will disappear or be
renamed, config files are different, stuff like that.?
Sometimes whole software packages don't work, like when the
Raspbian OS developers broke AX.25 a few kernels back.
This is the reason big
companies pay big bucks for Red Hat or SuSE Linux.? No
surprises during upgrades.
Oh well, it is what it is.

Copyright date isn't date of manufacture.? It has
no bearing on whether it boots or not.? Check the
board for revision numbers. At one point the board
changed slightly, and so did the onboard boot
firmware.? Your board appears to be a later pi4 with
the newer bootloader, so the old OS build doesn't boot
out of the box.
I'm willing to bet that if you ran sudo apt update
&& sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo
rpi-eeprom-update and rebooted then put the older
version in it would boot

I received my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B a week or so

Booting PiGate v1.5 does NOT work.
Booting PiGate v2.2 DOES work.
I know Mark had trouble with later PiGates he
purchased in 2021 I think it was.? I am wondering if
this Pi 4 is a model prior to those that are not
working for him.? I suspect it may be due to the
copyright date being 2018.
Mark, do you still have the Pi 4 that did not work
with your latest PiGate image?? Does it have a
different copyright date on the PCB?? Maybe there is
some other way to distinguish them, but I only have
this one that is working.
