PiGate on Raspberry Pi 4?


 

开云体育

Hi all,
Is PiGate v2.2 compatible with current Pi 4 hardware? ?I read a posting from Mark that earlier version of Pi 4 were working, but a more recent Pi 4 did not. ?That was at the beginning of 2021. ? However, he did not specify the version that did not work and I could not find any information that a new build had been made to fix the problem. ?We have some folks in our ARES - ACS group interested in building a few PiGates but are shy to buy the Pi until we know more and can get v2.2 working.

Thank you,

All,

Apparently, the Pi foundation changed the boot code in a later version of the Pi4 that now needs a certain version of the PiOS to boot.? I don't have a new Pi4, so am unable to diagnose it.

What I need to do is create a new PiGate image based upon the latest version of PiOS and have someone with a newer Pi4 test it.? Anyone want to try that?? Again, I'm not certain where the change was made.? This was only reported to me once a few months ago.

Living on my retirement means a lot less money available to buy test hardware.? :)

I am up for that. ?I have a new Pi 4 arriving late this week or early next.

Hey Mark,

It should be worth noting that Debian 12 (Bookworm) was released on June 10, 2023 and it's only a matter of a few months of when a new version of Raspberry Pi OS will be released taking on the new Debian12 as a base.? There isn't any confirmed dates of when this will be released but historically, it takes about three months (say Sept 10th, 2023):

??

So, maybe you will want to wait to do all that work.? Up to you.
