Box flashing blue on every startup

Custom Firmware / Bootloader HackieboxNG - Bootloader for CC3200 (V1, V2)
1

Hi Guys,

I flashed my CC3200 toniebox with hackieboxNG including the altUrl patch.
up-to-date Teddycloud running on proxmox.
Everything is working fine; original, and custom tonies, teddycloud integration and cloud forwarding… all working fine.
EXCEPT:
EVERY TIME the box is booting up, it flashes blue for one minute, blocking all interactions.
I would think, that the pattern is 500ms blue, 500ms off, so 60 flashes. Then turning to solid green.

This is highly unpleasant; sitting in front of the box waiting the green circle to appear.
Once we are done with the 60 blue seconds, everything works fine until next shutdown/bootup.

Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Additional information:

  • If a Tonie is placed on the box before it is turned on, it directly starts playing… until the Tonie is removed, then 60 secs of blue flashing.
  • Pihole is running in the network; maybe blocking urls; but couldn’t find a hint
  • subnet is 192.168.178.0/23
