Tried it but it said something about processor not supported. Kind of like when you try to upgrade with the wrong firmware.....which, as much as I hate to say it, I've been guilty of more times than I'd like to admit Rolleyes

Generic will work for all version - 32 bits, 64 bits and ARMv7. I have tested this on 64 bits so it should work for you also?

Tried it numerous times. Here's a couple of screenshots.

D'oh.. Must be a bug with the machine name returned by RPi4.

Can you rename the word generic to armv7l. That should make it work again. Will also create an issue to fix the generic not working on RPi4 builds.

I will definitely try that, can't at the moment. I'll keep y'all posted once I get a spare second to try.
