Flashing blueos

i ran into an error whilst trying to flash blueos to a sd card. The error goes as follows (Error: (0, h.requestMetadata) is not a function). I am new to this and dont know how to solve this. I am flashing the latest stable Blueos version using balena etcher (following the documentation) https://blueos.cloud/docs/stable/usage/installation/
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me solve this issue.

I was also wondering if blueos was supported on a rasberry pi5 yet.

Hi @Mini
Sorry for the issue! I’ve not seen that error before.
You didn’t say what OS you’re using, but a quick google of your error + balena etcher seems to indicate that running the program as Administrator on Windows can solve the issue?

If that’s not it, I’d continue to hunt for answers as that seems like a balena-etcher problem (and not related to BlueOS!)

As for Pi5 support, the latest Beta 16/17 does support the Pi, however it does require a version of the Navigator which is not yet for sale, that moves the magnetometer away from the Pi 5 cooling fan.
