RPIboot not recognizing CM4 w/ mmc as USB device following Home Assistant installation

Hello! I've been using different versions of raspberry pi OS on my CM4 with mmc with the TV stick with no problems. However, I'm having issues post installing Home Assistant OS (https://www.home-assistant.io/).

Because the carrier board does not have an ethernet, the OS is stuck in a rebooting loop forever. Obviously, I need to configure the OS or reinstall the OS, but since installing this OS, the device will no longer appear on my Windows PC via RPIBoot (https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot).

So, why am I posting here? I cannot tell if its an issue with the use of the TV stick with RPIBoot or if the OS has fundamentally changed the PI behavior because now it just seems bricked. Can you help me rule out the TV stick carrier board as the cause of this problem?

The process I use is:

  1. Launch RPIBoot on the Windows PC
  2. Press and hold the button on the carrier board
  3. Plug in the USB cable
  4. Release the button
  5. Then, nothing happens, where before, it would appear as a USB storage device.

(I've reached out to Home Assistant support for this too, but it seemed worth posting in both places)

Hi @tyon2006
Trying to list all possible cases here, sorry if some are way too obvious. Could you please confirm if:

  • SD card slot is not occupied with SD-card
  • you're using same or known-good USB-C cable
  • Tiny USB A<->C switch is in "C" position?
