Raspberry Pi 5 not creating Hotspot
I've tried to follow the Guide on installing Rat OS for my new VC4 Idex but have nothing but issues with Rat OS.
I was originally having issues with Balena Etcher not finishing the image on the SD Card since I was using a new buggy version of the software. Once I switched to 1.18 It completed the flash but when I install the SD card into the Raspberry pi 5 nothing happened. I waited an hour for the hotspot to start with no success. I reflashed the SD card to see if there was an undetected error when I flashed it. Then I tried to plug the Pi into Ethernet to see if I could connect it that way. I can not get access to the PI any way I try. Am I doing somthing wrong or is there somthing else that I can try? I've tried two different SD Cards, one from Microcenter and then I Ordered a SanDisk Ultra U1 A1 256gb and neither one works.

Solution
PI 5 is not supported yet and probably won't be for some time so either you are on your own or you need to get PI 4.
