Re: Pi 5 welcome here?


 

Ken,

I think there is a misunderstanding. This group is not specific to the Raspberry Pi-4. The title uses the number "4" instead of the word "for". Kind of like P2P for "Point-to-Point".

In my experience with this list, anything concerning any Raspberry Pi and ham radio is welcome.

I hope your project goes well.

73,
Michael WA7SKG

Okay, so I know this group focuses on Pi 4, but I’m seeing traffic about Pi 5 availability as well, so I hope it’s okay to assume the 5 is welcome here too? [Moderator: Kill my message if I’m incorrect.]
Like many, I’m working on a Pi 5 build. I currently have my 5 (8 Gb) running with the Pimoroni NVMe Base board and a 1 Tb Sabrent Rocket SSD. (RUNS GREAT!)
I’m hoping to be able to run VARA HF/FM on it using Box64 + Wine. Ultimately, my aim is to run my alternate NCS for Winlink Wednesdays using my Icom 7100 and a Raspberry Pi rig control computer.
I looked at was hoping it would be what I needed, but it doesn’t (yet?) support the 5.
So, being as patient as a sneeze, I set about to build Box64 and install Wine manually. I’ve been searching for a video and/or HOWTO to guide me a bit, though. Several exist for the 3 and the 4, but I’ve yet to find one for the 5.
Any tips, folks? I’m very comfortable on Linux, but a bit of Box64 + Wine voodoo would go a long way. Thanks and 73s, K0RvW.
Cheers,
Ken van Wyk
