newest firmware

theitsolutionllc

When attempting to boot my new crowpi2 with Raspberry pi 4b it gave an error that the board required newer software/firmare. I followed another post for updating the crowpi2 drive but the download fails after about 50% and tells me it is forbidden. Does anyone have a link that works, The SD has been formatted and I have nothing.

Tried to download the latest firmware files from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ViXk3Yhch0d6HS5PjDRcjfllh7VhTTQK and getting this pop-up warning,

https://forum.elecrow.com/uploads/834/QBGJMDKKF97G.png

My workaround solution for using Chrome Broswer:

1. Open a new browser tab.
2. Type chrome://settings/cookies in the browser address bar then press Enter.
3.  Scroll down to the 'Sites that can always use cookies' section under 'See all cookies and site data'.
4. On the right, click Add.
5. In the 'Add a site' window, enter drive.google.com.
6. Make sure to select the tick box 'Including third-party cookies on this site' and click Add.
7. Don't close this Settings tab just yet, I reccommend to delete this setting after you have successfully downloaded the firmware files.
8. Switch back to the Google Drive tab and start the download again. It should begins this time.
9. After you have successfully download the files, switch over to the Settings tab again.
10. Under the 'Sites that can always use cookies' section, delete the site drive.google.com, that you have added in step 5 above, by click on the Trash Can icon on the right.

Hope this help anyone having trouble downloading the latest firmware file. :)

Tried to download the latest firmware files from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ViXk3Yhch0d6HS5PjDRcjfllh7VhTTQK, but it sadly doesn´t work. The file is simply too large. The download is constantly aborted. I tried with raspberry Pi, windows and my andoid tablet. None of my devices is able to download the complete file,

Google Drive let me download half of the file and then stops saying not allowed. I'm very confused ...

Hello, the image file of crowpi2 has a total size of 15G, please check if your disk still has enough space.

lol, my second PI is booting and running from a 128G SSD and yes, the root partition was resized to the hole SSD space by using gparted. So there is more than enough space for the download.

Google drive says file is only 8G large and download is aborted after about 4.2G or so,saying network error, something is wrong here.

I am still not able to download the file.

Maybe someone is able to split the file into several parts, and share it as it was done here: https://www.crowpi.cc/pages/download-crowpi-series-os-image with an older version from 2022.12.14?
