I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi 400, which is supposed to be a Raspberry Pi 4 already inside a keyboard. I thought it would be great to get a plan 9 terminal on it. However, I am having some trouble; and I don’t know if it is specific to the Pi 400, myself, or both.
The Pi 400 is the Raspberry Pi keyboard with a ‘Pi 4’ inside. However, the Raspberry Pi 4 is on a different piece of copper. I don’t know how significant this is or not.
Anyway, I downloaded the new 9front image and first used dd to get it onto a 32GB micro SD card.
On first boot, the Plan 9 kernel appears to start loading, and then I got the following error repeated over and over
sdhc: read error intr 2008002 stat 1fff0000
and then finally /dev/sdM0/data
bootargs is (tcp, tls, il, local!device)
I’ve tried creating images on the Pi itself in Raspian. Tried booting off of a USB to micro SD adapter - all with similar results, possibly different or additional errors. I also tried using balenaEtcher to transfer the image… similar results.
One attempted startup looked like this:

As mentioned before, where that emmc error is - I’ve seen the previous mentioned error repeated. Or the following two errors.
sdhc: read error intr 2008000 stat 1fff0206
emmccmd: need to reset Datainhibit intr 0 stat 1fff0206
I realize this may be because I need a different firmware for the Pi 400. I see what looks like a file on github for the Pi 400. But I am not sure what to do with it. Is it supposed to be as easy as copying it to the boot partition? (I tried that and didn’t work). Do I need to recompile a kernel? Do I need to update the other files in the boot partition with those for the bootloader firmware for the Pi?
Thanks in advance!
