Raspberry Pi 4B 1GB no boot

Hi,
I would like to try the Emteria OS on my Raspberry PI 4 model B with 1GB RAM, connected to an HDMI display.

I've tried to flash both Emteria 14.12.0 and 15.4.0 on two different 16GB SD cards but boot always fails.
I've tried using both Raspberry official imager app and also downloading the images from Emteria website and Balena Etcher to flash, but the results are the same.
The Raspberry is stuck on rainbow splash screen and won't boot.

I've tried to enable the serial port, to retrieve some boot log changing the "console=serial0,115200" parameter on cmdline.txt but nothing exits from the serial port.

The standard Raspbian image works very well on both SD cards, and I can see the console on the serial port.

Were is the mistake?

Regards,
Marco

    hi..some news?

    @MarcoB 1GB RAM is usually not enough for Android, but I would assume that it gets stuck at the bootanimation, not the splash screen. We've released v14.13.0 and v15.6.0 for RPi4 in the meantime. There are a few RAM optimizations. Maybe you can try those if they show the same behaviour.
    The serial adjustments look correct. Are you getting serial output from raspbian image, just to rule out a mix in RX/TX connection?
