Rasberry Pi stuck again (dammit)

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello, i quickly wanna handle this report:

  1. Bought an rasberry pi 4 model b
  2. It arrived, i plugged in power and lan
  3. I downloaded this image and flashed my sd-card it with rpi-imager
  4. I plugged in the sd-card

Following Problem:
The green light goes on, showing connection to the sd-card, then both lights are blinking, red and green which means its doing at least something, but then all of a sudden the green light blinks less and less until it finally turns off, it never appears on my nmap scans and i cant connect to it via ssh or http.

Previous Ideas:
I did the same thing but with rasberry pi OS and it works..., which should exclude the problem on the sd-card side. Unfortenetly when i plug my rasberry to micro hdmi to hdmi to vgi to monitor setup, nothing appears on the screen, no logs, same with the rasberry OS but at least i can connect to it via ssh.

Thaanks (im a parttime technoob pls be patient withme) :innocent:

I have pi3 and pi4 4GB and 8GB. The red power light are definitely not supposed to blink wich would indicate power supply issue on the Pi4.

Connect serial and see what it does.

I do not own a serial console. This a video demonstration i made, in order to clear out speculation. It does not do the same, thing when i plug in the rasberry pi OS sd-card...

... or a HDMI cable.

Tried that, but then it quickly turns even more problematic since you loose the screen of actual service computer with all the info.

And then this forum gets another screenshot of the actual live screen!

indeed, but it's better than no serial cable :wink:

Not one thing you describe is supposed to happen.

Update the bootloader, install Pi OS and see of its working with it then try the pi with OpenWrt.

Something was lost in translation; probably my fault.
I am lost how terminal causes problems.

It doesn’t because it wasn’t about terminal, but if you connect the screen with hdmi you can play around in the device but you have no connection with anything else.

Maybe I'm wrong but CLI with just a keyboard and monitor is what I call terminal.

Not sure what you mean by that.

Regardless, If you have a monitor and keyboard hooked up, you should still be able to do anything and everything else too. e.g. ssh or html in. It will look just like an ssh session and have the same functionality.

During this millennium I have only used screens that can show one input signal at a time. And there is no way to copy or past on the actual screen if there is no computer on the same screen.

Physical terminal is kind of old fashion, every normal user use a putty terminal so there is some kind of connection to the world outside the terminal.

HDMI capture card. ~$28.00 US.
