Installer downloads armv7 version for Raspberry Pi OS #434

Open lmbarros opened 1 year ago

lmbarros commented 1 year ago

The installer script decides which arch to download based on uname -m. So, a device running Raspberry Pi OS would install the armv7 version. However, this version will not work, because Raspberry Pi OS is all set up to run binaries compiled to armv6.

As a workaround, please go to the balena releases page on GitHub and download a release for armv6l. Then replace /usr/local/bin/balena-engine-dev with the one from the armv6l package you downloaded. This shall get rid of the Illegal Instruction error.

Also, there's one more hiccup you'll probably find next: the current version of balenaEngine do not yet support cgroups v2, so you'll need to configure Raspberry Pi OS to use cgroups v1. To do that, just append systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 to the end of the /boot/cmdline.txt in your Pi and reboot. [Edit: cgroups v2 should be working since v20.10.40 -- though we haven't tested in Raspberry Pi OS]
