Installing raspbian stretch on raspberry pi 4?

[Chiggy]

Hello.
This is my first time using a raspberry pi 4. I had installed Debian 10 aka buster via the NOOBS installer and managed to install it successfully but now I am facing some issue with the project I want to run. I want to run Alexa on my rpi 4 so I downloaded Amazon Alexa sdk but then later i saw that it doesnt support buster. So is there a way to install stretch on rpi4. Also I did try downloading the old stretch image on the sd card and then plugging it in but it just shows a black screen. Nothing else. Is stretch supported on rpi4 ?

I dont belive it is possible to run stretch on Pi4...

The Alexa have some potential fixes.. you can find tips here:

The Raspberry Pi 4B is only supported by Raspbian Buster, since releasing there has been many updates:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo reboot

I have just released a script to run a Stretch virtual machine within Raspbian Buster. Although it is very much still a work in progress and is not guaranteed to work in your case, it is definitely something to try!
