No valid Hog platform detected error during full install on Hog 4 console
Symptoms/Issue
The Hog console during a full install has an error that says "No valid Hog platform detected"
Description/Explanation of Issue
There is a NIC error on the motherboard.
Fix/Solution
-
Verify that you are installing the LATEST version of Hog 4.
-
If installing older software on a newer product, the installation will fail, as the older software version does not support the newer hardware.
-
Example, in 2020 new revisions of the HedgeHog 4, Road Hog 4 and Full Boar 4 were released, these consoles have a minimum software compatibility of version 3.14.0. Installing 3.13.1 or older will get this error.
