RISC-V drop in replacement in place of a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. Sounds interesting and could be useful with a #TuringPI2 especially.

New layout for the #eReaderHat except it's not a hat form factor but a #CM4 carrier board. More details on the layout on the @hackaday project page

Quality of life update for the #eReaderHat Now fetching #ebooks from the #calibreserver is a background task so you can keep #reading as your #books download.

While the software is a mess I think the next step is making a similar carrier board for the #raspberrypi #CM4 form factor.

I'm also considering submitting this to the @hackaday prize for gits and shiggles. Should I?

@trashheap yeah, @Raspberry_Pi really needs to improve availability - including #CM4 and #CM3plusLite...

Availability on @rpilocator is depressing to look at.

@manawyrm Sadly the people at @Raspberry_Pi chose the #CM4 connector to be that fragile.

OFC I know that they could't choose a DDR3-SODIMM for the CM4 because the new SoC needs some cooling and that needs to be properly supported, but it's not as if there ain't high-density connectors that ain't fragile af.

@heiseonline genau das ist das Problem...

der @Raspberry_Pi #Pi400 war auch stets gut verfügbar, auch wenn dieser fast 30% teurer wurde....

Wohingegen alle #CM4 und alle #Pi4B8GB quasi nicht verfügbar sind...

Leider kotzt die Konkurrenz nur halbgares Zeugs aus das zwar aufm Papier besser ist, aber weder brauchbare #Dokumentation noch gute #Software & -#Support hat!

@memoriesin8bit NOICE!

Next thing you gonna tell me #8BitDo would be partnering with @Raspberry_Pi on a #Pi400 - #8GB version (or something that accepts #CM4 for the SoC) and a full-size keyboard akin to the #Subor #SB926...

#WhatsMissing: A #RaspberryPi #clustering system that directly uses the #PCIe links and/or allows using the #CM4 / #CM3 as "coporcessors" or rather "co-nodes" that get interfaced like the #Apple #Afterburner card but can run on their own...

Think #VT69 meets #PiKVM & #PiBlade...

@chksome Or maybe
@geerlingguy works professionally with
@Raspberry_Pi SoC's...

After all, #RaspberryPi #CM4's are extremely common since they have what all their #clones and #competitors lack:

EXCELLENT DOCUMENTATION!

Even if the #BananaPi #BPi0M2 should wipe the floor with the #Pi0W / #Pi0 even #IT professors can't get it to work in any other mode than 720p60...

Now I know where all the @Raspberry_Pi #CM4's are...

They are on @geerlingguy 's Desk!

I thought nature was healing when I saw #CM4 in stock -- in China, and with 4 GB only.
Still hoping for abundant 008000s

@mattmay that's just the purely speculative #MarketCapitalization which has nothing to do woth EBITA, Assets, Revenue or a Business Model.

Why else does Apple get ranked as a Trillion-Dollar Company and none of the logistics giants come even closer.

If #Apple can't deliver a product, that'll piss off less than 1/10th the number of companies compared to @Raspberry_Pi being unable to deliver #CM4 & #Pi4B's.

Or remember that container ship stuck in the Suez Canal???

How did I spend May 1st you ask?

The #Raspberry #Pi #CM4 vs. #PCIe debugging session just finished: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230502231558.5zt5tyxczd22ppjz@mraw.org/#t

@nyanotech @gsuberland @Raspberry_Pi I mean the #CM4 does support #NVMe and there are even boards from #WaveShare that basically breakout all the ports of a CM4 in the Foodprint of a #Pi4B - including #PCIe in the Form of an M.2 2280 M-Key slot [with a single lane]...

Still, out of cost reasons, USB-Boot would've been the most versatile option allowing anything from a cheap & slow USB 2.0 Thumbdrive [or even 3,5" FDD if supported for retro fans] up to a huge-ass array of HDDs and/or SSDs...

@nyanotech @gsuberland #NVMe is #PCIe which will require a whole PCIe toot complex, which is much more expensive and electrically demanding than SATA and espechally USB 2.0.

Personally, booting from USB is the most important feature for the @Raspberry_Pi #Pi3B+ & #Pi3A+ and up - including #CM3+ [lite] and #CM4 [S][lite]...

@Natanox As much as I'd consider alternatives to @Raspberry_Pi since their stuff is being scalped beyond insane, a lot of those suffer from poor software support, worse availability and even higher prices.

That being said I do use a #BananaPiZeroM2 / #BPi0M2 since the #Pi0/#Pi0W is being scalped >10x it's #MSRP and I've yet to find a good #CM4 / #Pi4B replacement that isn't out of production, double the price or unsupported by even @ubuntu or #Debian...

Was es alles so gibt. Kannte ich bis heute nicht.
