Hi! My setup is: - Raspberry Pi 4 as the client - M1 Mac for building the images - Using linux/amd64 based mender-convert docker image I have tried converting a Raspberry Pi OS golden image without any problems before but when I tried converting my 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop golden image it was taking too long to convert the OS and the outputted image didn’t boot on my RPi 4. How I ran it: ```auto MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME=release-1 ./docker-mender-convert --disk-image input/golden-image-1-raspberrypi4-ubuntu-mender.img --config configs/raspberrypi4_ubuntu_config --config configs/custom_config --overlay input/rootfs_overlay_demo using log file at: /Users/neiljoaquin/Documents/Development/mender-convert/logs/convert.log.1695627445-4525 WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested Running mender-convert --disk-image input/golden-image-1-raspberrypi4-ubuntu-mender.img --config configs/raspberrypi4_ubuntu_config --config configs/custom_config --overlay input/rootfs_overlay_demo Running mender-convert-extract: --config ./work/override_compression_config --disk-image input/golden-image-1-raspberrypi4-ubuntu-mender.img --config configs/raspberrypi4_ubuntu_config --config configs/custom_config --overlay input/rootfs_overlay_demo 2023-09-25 07:37:25 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] Using configuration file: configs/mender_convert_config 2023-09-25 07:37:25 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] Using configuration file: ./work/override_compression_config 2023-09-25 07:37:25 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] Using configuration file: configs/raspberrypi4_ubuntu_config 2023-09-25 07:37:25 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] Using configuration file: configs/custom_config 2023-09-25 07:37:26 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] Validating disk image 2023-09-25 07:37:26 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] Disk parsed successfully 2023-09-25 07:37:26 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] NUMBER OF PARTS: 2 TYPE: dos 2023-09-25 07:37:26 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] PART 1: SIZE: 256M TYPE: 0xc 2023-09-25 07:37:26 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] PART 1: extracting to work/part-1.fs 2023-09-25 07:39:07 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] PART 2: SIZE: 14.7G TYPE: 0x83 2023-09-25 07:39:07 [INFO] [mender-convert-extract] PART 2: extracting to work/part-2.fs mender-convert-extract has finished.

Hi @Neil1, Currently there is no 64bit support for the Raspberry Pis in `mender-convert`, so probably that is the reason. Greetz, Josef ---

Thanks, Josef! I should’ve checked the github page 😬. My bad
