Hi @Robi_Sen, welcome to the forum 🙂

[ArduSub](https://www.ardusub.com/introduction/required-software/ardusub-autopilot-firmware.html) is the firmware for the Pixhawk autopilot, which is different to and separate from the [Companion Computer Software](https://www.ardusub.com/introduction/required-software/companion-computer-software.html) that goes on the Raspberry Pi.

Your picture also displays that you’re using a Raspberry Pi 4, which currently isn’t fully supported by our companion software. At the moment we only fully support Raspberry Pi 3B, not 3B+ or 4, but there’s a relatively major update coming in the next few months that will add full Raspberry Pi 4 support.

In the meantime, it is possible to use an RPi4 with the current software, but it requires some additional effort to set up, and there are a few issues with the installer script so some features may not be available. If you choose to continue with your RPi4 you can [flash the SD card](https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/) with a clean Raspberry OS Lite install, and then follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/bluerobotics/companion/pull/284) to install the companion software.

Once you’ve got a Raspberry Pi with a working companion image on it I’d suggest you follow our [software setup guide](https://bluerobotics.com/learn/bluerov2-software-setup/) 🙂
