noobs VS pinn

Is there any way you can access the terminal? Like does it take you to the login screen at all? If so, you can mount a different SD card partition (try to mount /dev/mmcblk0p5/ or /dev/sda1/), reboot, and it should work (only if you somehow mounted the recovery partition by accident). This page may be helpful for you in understanding the partition issue and finding which partition to mount if it’s not one of those two above.

The secondary reason I advise against NOOBS is that it has been removed from the downloads page (see here for the GITHUB repository) - the primary is that it does give issues with updates / upgrades and gets in the way. It's much simpler to use a 16Gb or 32Gb card given the way the costs have dropped.

First off, what do we need? - A Raspberry Pi (a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2 in my case) - A SD-Card reader/writer - Raspberry Pi Imager software - CODESYS - CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC (SL) or No SL - Factory IO (Ultimate or Modbus OPC edition)

start4.elf is not compatible USB-MSD boot requires newer software Get the latest software from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads.

Noobs from RaspberryPi can easily be modified like changing the logo Here is a link to the github repository: noobs

a. Download Raspian and upload it to your SD card using Balena Etcher.

For dual booting look to PINN - I prefer one OS per card as there is less chance of a card error hitting lots of operating systems / running out of space / deleting the wrong partition.

You should be able to achieve that by using PINN. It's an operating system and boot manager for Raspberry Pis (plus more features that you probably don't need).

You could look at PINN https://github.com/procount/pinn as the author is active on the Pi forum.

PINN is a can be found at https://github.com/procount/pinn

After more reading: The "Raspberry Pi Imager" seem to have something similar called "PINN". Is PINN similar to BerryBoot? https://github.com/procount/pinn/blob/master/README_PINN.md

I would not use NOOBS at all now - its way old and PINN is a better option if you do not use multiple SD cards.

You could have a look at https://github.com/gitbls/sdm for image management or PINN as a NOOBS replacement.

NOOBS is deprecated and no longer maintained or recommended by Raspberry Pi. If you still want a NOOBS like installer then use PINN which is an enhanced fork of NOOBS that is still under active development.
