Trouble updating RPI 3B+ V2.66 to large image

I 'm trying to setup a VenusOS large image on my RaspberryPi 3B+.

I followed the guidelines from https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:large


I've downloaded a regular V2.66 image. Then I copied several files from the dropbox link. I formatted my USB stick FAT32 and verified it via SSH that the files are accesible via /run/media/sda1

However when I try to select the offline installer via the webconsole the system responded with a message "no firmware found"


I've tried the following files:


venus-image-large-raspberrypi2-20210416104645-v2.70~5-large-18.rootfs.wic.gz
venus-image-large-raspberrypi2-20210807060818-v2.72-large-19.rootfs(1).wic.gz
venus-image-large-raspberrypi2-20210807060818-v2.72-large-19.rootfs.wic.gz
venus-image-raspberrypi2.wic.gz
venus-swu-2-raspberrypi2-20210416104645-v2.70~5-large-18.swu
venus-swu-2-raspberrypi2-20210807060818-v2.72-large-19(1).swu
venus-swu-2-raspberrypi2-20210807060818-v2.72-large-19.swu
venus-swu-2-raspberrypi2-20210810140320-v2.80~11-large-20.swu
root@raspberrypi2:/media/sda1#

Still I get the message no firmware found.

Anyone an idea where I went wrong?

Thanks for helping me out


regards

Marcel

I found an answer:

https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/93584/raspberry-pi-3b-update-to-271.html


I therefore asume something is missing in the description on the page of the Venus OS Large image.


I flashed a v2.71 image from the following link:

Image direct: http://updates.victronenergy.com/feeds/venus/release/images/raspberrypi2/venus-image-raspberrypi2-20210621155055-v2.71.rootfs.wic.gz

After re inserting my SD card in the RasPi and booting it up I got the option to update it from the USB flashdrive.

That resulted in a v2.8 large image.

Good its solved. There is a newer v2.80 large file for the rpi3 on my computer, I’ll put it on the dropbox tonight


also I added a bit of text to the manual, to make it more clear: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/doku.php?id=venus-os%3Alarge&sectok=8fd8b9b1333d4dc2fd6b055b30f2765b&do=revisions

Hi Matthijs, I've seen the changes in the text you've made. I think that's perfect.

I've updated my PI with the new image (venus-swu-2-raspberrypi2-20210911213250-v2.80~17-large-22.swu)

Thanks for your help
