I have figured out it is indeed a misplaced link address: …-raspberrypi **4** -mender-convert-3.0.0.img.xz. I have changed it to …-raspberrypi **3** -mender-convert-3.0.0.img.xz and it works, so I have updated the tables with the correct link.

PS some file sizes and SHA256 were wrong - I fixed those. Moreover, I have added 2022-09-22 image in from [Downloads | Mender documentation](https://docs.mender.io/3.6/downloads#disk-images)

I have checked 2023-05-03 img for RPi 3B+. At the moment of writing, it is the latest bullseye version available for RPI 3B+.

I have followed [following flow](https://docs.mender.io/client-installation/integration-checklist) to confirm the operational of the image:

- **The Mender service launches properly** - confirmed
- **Bootloader environment tools are present on the device** - confirmed (default U-Boot integration used)
- **Identify A/B partitions** - confirmed
- **Confirm OS switch using bootloader variables** - confirmed
- Identify the transitions state
  - **a) Confirm behavior for the ‘successful update’ case** - confirmed
  - **b) Confirm behavior for the ‘failed update and rollback’ case** - confirmed

My setup at the time of testing:

- Hosted mender 3.7.0
- mender-artifact 3.11.0
- mender-convert 4.1.0
  - mender-client 3.5.2 installed (!!!)

At the moment of writing, mender-client 4.0.0 is coming close to its release date and when using `latest` as mender-client version selector for mender-convert, it already uses 4.0.0 client. However, it seem that mender-convert tool is not yet ready to fully support mender-client 4.0.0 install yet - in my case, there were no mender packages installed after dumping the image to SD card. Hence, I have pinned the known-to-work version of mender-client to 3.5.2 to be installed during mender-convert. This is not the issue of the updated image. It is more of the issue of mender-client & mender-convert interaction.

Another side note - this image of RPi OS renamed `boot` partition to `bootfs` (this affects only when when SD card is connected via SD card adaptor). When SD card is plugged into an RPi, within RPi OS it is still mounted under `/boot`.

 ![bootfs_explanation](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mender/original/2X/a/a6d105ddc109232da5456295334e70eb0b6db059.jpeg)

mender-convert does not care about this change (same as any other dependency within Mender eco-system), but I still find it worth mentioning as [this step within manual](https://docs.mender.io/get-started/preparation/prepare-a-raspberry-pi-device#option-1-configure-your-raspberry-pi-in-headless-mode) will now fail as it has to point to `RPI_BOOT="/media/$(whoami)/bootfs"`

PS I am unsure of the procedure in place to generate a publicly shareable image with mender integrated - my current one has lots of modifications applied already, am not willing to share it.

Hey @dmitrijsan, the issue with Mender 4.0.0 is known, and we are currently working on a new version of mender-convert which will default to 3.5.2, since 4.0.0 is not quite ready to work with mender-convert yet. Pinning the version like you have done is indeed the best workaround, for now.

Thanks for confirming. Since it is not the issue of the RPi image itself, I am going to keep Raspberry Pi OS image from 2023-05-03 within the compatibility list as **supported**.
