Raspberry Pi5 2GB

That happened only once that the knob took over from the hinge :joy:

Getting right back to tin tacks…

This happened to me and it turned out that Volumio was installed and simply waiting for me to go through the initial configuration process via connecting to its hotspot with a web browser.

Dear Volumionauts,

Folks at Rasperry showing a new stepping of the main BCM2712 chip in their blog post:

https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/2gb-raspberry-pi-5-on-sale-now-at-50/

Beside reduced power usage, which is welcomed, it also changes low level kernel functions including I2C (various HATs) , vc4 (HDMI audio), HW identifier; just to mention few.

The difference on the die:

Raspbery Pi 5 2GB Raspbery Pi 5 4GB Raspbery Pi 5 8GB
2712ZPFKSB00D0T 2712ZPKFSB00C1T 2712ZPKFSB00C1T
BCM2712 D0 BCM2712 C1 BCM2712 C1

The new BCM2712D0 starts from this kernel 6.6 commit:

There are no upstream backport plans to the kernel lower than 6.6. This is quite disappointing as the kernel 6.1.69+ is currently at the hart of the Volumio OS.

Devs are already discussing the kernel bump to 6.6; which is not a trivial endeavour. Beside internal audio tweaks, such change causes a domino effect across plugins relying on GPIOs like:

  • Amplifier Switch
  • Audiophonics Evo Sabre
  • Audiophonics ON/OFF
  • GPIO Buttons
  • GPIO Control
  • IR Activity LED
  • IR Remote Controller
  • MPD_OLED
  • Pirate Audio
  • RemotePi
  • Rotary Encoder II

The list is incomplete yet and very likely more to come.

Please stay tuned to this thread with further details to follow.

Kind Regards,

Volumio has started and can be installed. :+1:
But there is no wifi, it cannot be switched on.
Sound card can be set, but it doesn’t sound, throws an error.

Hey @Mirr_Murr,

Booting is one thing and it works. To make the BCM2712 D0 i2C work with Volumio OS is going to be a bit of waiting; once kernel 6.6 is prepared and plugins ported.

Kind Regards,

Hello nerd,

Thank you very much for the technical feedback. I’m going to downgrade to Pi4 for my project while waiting for a more concrete update.

Thanks for your work on this issue.

Best regards
