Hi Tim,
We have now fixed the URLs for the rpi-imager. Thank you for reporting the issue.
Regards,
Detlev.

Andrej,
Thanks for the quick response! I'll check out bmaptool.
I think a command line tool might work best to the automated testing I would like
to do anyway, so that's a very useful bit of information.

Hello Tim,
First of all, thanks for your message, it’s great to see interest in Apertis on Raspberry Pi.

Hello Apertis developers,
I would like to experiment with Apertis on a raspberry PI board, and I was interested to
see that there are Apertis entries that show up in
the rpi-imager tool, to create an sdcard for OS installation on a raspberry pi.
However, when I choose one of the Apertis images with rpi-imager, I get an error:
"Error downloading: The requested URL returned error: 404 -
Server IP: 46.235.227.188" I got the same error for other images (I tried Apertis Headless image and Apertis Graphics image).> >
The Image URL reported by rpi-imager is: https://images.apertis.org/release/v2022/v2022.1/arm64/hmi/apertis_v2022 -hmi-arm64-rpi64_v2022.1.img
Note that I can ping images.apertis.org.
Looking at the images site manually, I see that there is a file: https://images.apertis.org/release/v2022/v2022.1/arm64/hmi/apertis_v2022 -hmi-arm64-rpi64_v2022.1.img.gz
(that is, the image filename but with
the .gz extension), but indeed there is no file ending in just .img.>
I have verified the file https://images.apertis.org/rpi/apertis-oslist-stable.json that the rpi-image tool uses, and indeed, it links to the non-compressed image, whereas we only publish compressed images.
I believe this should mean the scripts we use to generate this file may be buggy. I’ll file an issue to have this looked at.
Are Apertis images still being created and supported for the rpi-imager tool?
Is this just a bad URL path issue?
Should the rpi-image database refer to the img.gz file, or should the .img file be on the images.apertis.org site?
Are the raspberry pi
images meant to be up-to-date?
My purpose to use these images is to test some automated testing tools (Fuego) with Apertis.
From what I can see, the daily builds should be downloadable with
rpi-imager, as the image list file for them has the correct URLs.
Meanwhile, I can recommend you use bmaptool to write the image directly to the SD card like this:
bmaptool copyhttps://images.apertis.org/release/v2022/v2022.1/arm64/hmi/apertis_v2022-h mi-arm64-rpi64_v2022.1.img.gz
/dev/mmcblk0
While a command-line tool, bmaptool is very robust, can automatically download and verify images, decompress them on the fly, and skip unallocated parts of the image, speeding up the process.
-- Cheers,
Andrej
