Hi I am trying to create a mender image from my custom raspberry pi os image using mender convert. I am able to successfully run mender convert and when I flash the .img.gz file created in the deploy directory, my pi no longer boots. How do I go about fixing this?

Hi @vrobot, for anyone to start diagnosing this, are you able to provide output errors you are getting, or photo of the errors on screen.

Hi there are no logs on the screen at all. It’s just a black screen.
