Hello, I have followed the below guide to generate an Image using Yocto for the Raspberry Pi 4. After a couple of hours, the compilation finished with success. My host OS is Ubuntu 20.04. > [@Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - Yocto 4.0 "kirkstone" and earlier](https://hub.mender.io/t/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/889): > > Board description The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the probably most popular board of the Raspberry Pi family. URL: [https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/) Wiki: [https://elinux.org/RPi\_Hub](https://elinux.org/RPi_Hub?target=_blank)Test results Raspberry Pi 4 is one of the official reference devices of Mender and is easy to get started with.

What’s more interesting is that, when I plug and unplug Ethernet, output shows like this: ```sh Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro) 3.0.4 raspberrypi4 ttyS0 raspberrypi4 login: [13.279168] Bluetooth: HCI UART driver ver 2.3 [13.283732] Bluetooth: HCI UART protocol H4 registered [13.289076] Bluetooth: HCI UART protocol Three-wire (H5) registered [13.297796] Bluetooth: HCI UART protocol Broadcom registered [13.454604] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [13.460011] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [13.465394] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized [13.492085] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [13.497054] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [13.502479] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11 [910.482314] bcmgenet fd580000.genet eth0: Link is Down [925.042407] bcmgenet fd580000.genet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow conx ``` So, it seems that it’s not stuck at loading Bluetooth. I would really appreciate if anyone could help me in this issue. Best Regards, Lakshantha ---

data written to stdout past the login screen is not unusual over serial. when you say stuck, do you mean its not responding to keyboard input over the serial connection? ---

Thanks for the response. I mean, I cannot login. When I press ENTER, there is no response. In normal scenario of a boot process, it should stop at login so that I can enter username. But it’s not the case here. ---

from your log it looks like you into userspace with userspace services starting up. so i would first check your serial config settings in your terminal emulator to ensure they are correct for two-way comms. ---

I am using minicom. sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200 This is how I access. This is how I normally access my RPi OS over serial and it has responded to keyboard inputs in the same configuration before. Do I need to create a user in local.conf ? ---

Now I have Disabled “Hardware Flow Control” in minicom setup and when I press ENTER, it shows login and I can finally login now! It’s weird. For RPi OS I dont need to do this ---

great. prob because you need to match how its configured on the back-end, and its configured differently depending on how the image is built ---

You mean match with Mender config side? ---

no, with the yocto build settings, there will be a machine config in your yocto build somewhere with the settings ---

Oh I see. Got you. Thank you very much for the guidance again. Really appreciate it! You have been very helpful yesterday also with my X86 local Mender Server issue. Now finally I can test local OTA updates from the X86 Mender Server to the RPi4 client! Best Regards, Lakshantha
