OctoPrint not working on a new Raspberry pi 4b 8gb

[Vedrim]

Hello everyone,

I bought a brand new Raspberry pi 4b 8gb to run octoprint (to replace my old pi 1b).
To install octoprint I downloaded the latest official image from OctoPrint.org - Download & Setup OctoPrint and used balenaEtcher to flash the octoprint on the new pi. When turning it on the red light was on, but the green light was flashing 4 times slow and 4 times fast and then repeat.

As suggested on official side of raspberry pi I did a EEPROM boot recovery and after that repeated the octoprint setup. Now the green light flashes 8 times (4 slow, 4 fast) and then glows for 20 seconds and then repeat again.

Because I was suspecting that my new pi is malfunctioning I installed Raspberry pi os and it was working with out any problems.

So my question is if Raspberry pi 4b 8gb does not maybe have suport for octoprint? Or am i doing something wrong.

Thank you for your help.

There's a whole thread for you:

Octoprint on a pi4 8gb

I based my thinking on what the raspberry pi foundation says. You'ld think they know. See the section "What about 64-bit?" Your hard evidence only shows that you cannot install the CURRENT 32 bit version of OctoPi on the RPI 4 8GB. The new 64 bit image thats floating around in this thread does not work because it is 64 bit, but because it has all the required bits. It is very possible to create a 32 bit version of OctoPi that runs on the RPI 4 8GB and all the other raspberry pi models.

The 8 GB version of the Raspberry Pi 4 needs a special (64 bit) version of OctoPi, which can be found in that thread.
