Update Failing on Raspberry Pi 4

Hi All,


I recently setup a Raspberry Pi 4 using the image from (https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/25666/venus-on-raspberry-pi-4.html?childToView=38071#answer-38071 )


All is working well, and it is reporting to VRM no issues, so I know it has internet, however when checking for updates I receive the below message.


Any Ideas? Thanks.

This is normal, the official updates only work once the raspberrypi 4 is supported. For now there are only images.

Thanks, understood. Will it start to update automatically, or will i need to re-image it to start getting updates?


Also, i am surprised it uses different packages to a Pi2, i assumed sames packages, just different image for the Pi4 hardware.


Thanks Again.

Not sure if it becomes updatable, status quo it will become updatable. But since it is not supported yet, I would like to preserve the freedom to make breaking changes. Most packages should be roughly the same. Which packages are different?
