Re: Raspberry Pi Compute 5 Release Date?

People everywhere do have better CPU performance. Just not with PiStorm. Almost certainly a software issue, but difficult to tell from the PiStorm website. Cannot see why it would be because of the RP1. pistorm bit-bangs the amiga addr/data bus over the gpio header, so you can slot an rpi directly ...

Re: How to power the Pi 5 without the offical power supply

I've a vague feeling there is also something that canbe changed/added to the EEPROM config that has similar effect. I've sure someone else will be along with that soom. I think there were two things you could put in the EEPROM that might work. One of them tells the Pi the maximum current that the P...

If that is the boot drive and not bookworm it will be no good on the Pi5.
The SSD (4b) is a boot drive and currently has Bookworm on it running LAMP
A fully updated 64-bit Bookworm should work fine on a Pi 5.

This is a little confusing for me, if 64 bit works under 4 GB and is more efficient, then why make a 32 bit OS in the first place?
The Pi Zero, Pi 1 and original Pi 2 are 32-bit only. So need a 32-bit OS. The 64-bit OS came along later with the Pi 4.

Is it a new Pi 4B or an old one? The very early ones had a mistake in the PD control resistors that would make some power supplies believe the Pi was an audio device which didn't need power. For those models it is recommended to use the official Pi power supply (actually, recommended for all models,...

Yes. It has been replaced by raspi-utils.

That's why you need a full-upgrade instead of just upgrade. upgrade on its own won't allow packages to be removed or new packages to be installed.

Re: Changing repo of Buster to oldoldstable

Using apt instead of apt-get should ask you if you want to allow the change. After that both apt and apt-get should work.

The two commands do basically the same job. The main differences are in the user interface. apt is more "user friendly" with pretty colours and progress indicators.
