    Just got a new PI4B from Pimonori. 4GB. Firmware dated September 2nd 2020
    The bootloader version is dated 2022/04/26
    Boot from Max2play SD (Buster) fails with msg 

    start4.elf is not compatible
This board requires newer software
Get the latest software from....

    I can boot ok from the supplied RPi software that came bundled.

    I tried the beta version 2.56 and it boots ok. Perhaps cut a new ‚production‘ version for new PI4 users?

    Hi wilsdog,

    Have you tested this with the 2.53 version from our download page? Because this version has an older kernel. The beta version 2.56 will soon fully replace the 2.53 so all current Pis should work with the image.
    When Pis are distributed that require newer firmware, we will again release a new version of the image that supports the latest kernels. However, it always takes a while until we can make sure that all Max2Play functions work with the newer kernel.
