Hi Peoples ,

i have make a bash script installer for a rpmfusion raw.xz Image
to install it on a nvme.
lshw => blackysgate.net
https://blackysgate.net/~blackcrack/sd-arm-raw.xz-nvme-rwh-installer-1.5.sh
rpmfusion.org-Howto-RaspberryPi for images

Why not take the arm-image-installer ?

well, 1. a real script that works with boardtools, 2. diffrent possibilitys.Take a look and test it.
I have tested with https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/RaspberryPi Fedora43 Workstation and it works .. and i have try to make a script with arm-image-installer, but has not works because overaged and did you see the RpiOS programm ā€œSD Card Copierā€, arm-image-installer is hopelessly outdated and is not worth being taken as a ā€˜religionā€™ in Fedora , so then as bashscript with boardtools, so, have fun ! :slight_smile:
Take a SD-System, expand the drive, mount 2nd partition, open subvol /home, put raw.xz + this script into and letz rock..

this script could also taken direct in a raw.xz into subvol /home and makeā€™s more easy to install it direcktly in a nvme ā€¦

The trend is moving towards minicomputers anyway, and from what Iā€™ve heard, the next Raspberry Pi generation is heading towards mini-ARM computers with integrated AI. They are supposedly using Hailo-10 chips right away, which I think is great. Personally, I started with just an M.2 NVMe expansion via PCIe, but now Iā€™ve installed a dual-board that allows me to use two M.2 units. I recently got two Pi 5 (16GB) models and was annoyed by the lack of a proper installer for my NVMe, so I built this script myself. Now I have a server (Iā€™ll swap out the URL myself), a second Pi 5 (16GB), and two more Pi 5 (8GB) for my TVs. Since Raspberry Pi OS is too slow for me, Iā€™m using rpmfusion instead, but Iā€™m missing the kernel updates for 6.12 (sorry, weā€™re already at 6.18-19, and I find the lack of updates disappointing ā€“ and yes, Damian, missing hardware, but that can be solved; you get more than I do in german EMR+sozi geld). ( fĆ¼r Dich Damian :wink: Raspberry Pi 5 )
(wƤhre hald schƶn, wenn wir einen kernel hƤtten, der mit der aktuellen PI5 Hardware sauber zusammenarbeitet und beim 6.18 iss ja alles soweit drin..)

My Setup is with Plasma 6 and works like a fully computer, on 2 TVā€™s and as more stronger version as Server with plasma6 and Nextcloud, ans do on : blackysgate.net
And as pure AI-Computer PI5(16)
Server and AI have actual a Hailo-8(13Tops) on it, planed is to buy a Hailo-10, hailo-olama iss on developing at Hailo how i have heared from the Google-AI (Google Object Character because i name him Goc) :wink:

Note: NVME is not working yet, check with Peter when it might be usable.

Hi Barry,
Iā€™ve been running a Pi 5 as a server in my basement for about 1.5 years now. The thing works like a charm, even with NVMe. However, Iā€™m using the RPM Fusion Fedora version. Itā€™s clear that official support isnā€™t there yet if not enough people take on the challenge of getting the image onto an NVMe. But with RPM Fusion, it works great.

If youā€™ve tried my ā€œinstallerā€/Deployment script, you might have noticed that I support four different types of installation or deploymentā€”using both subvolumes and flat systems and both compressed, how you whantā€¦ Also, did you notice I reached out to Damian? I need a new/current kernel, and heā€™s the expert there since he builds kernels for RPM Fusion. Being stuck on a 6.12 kernel feels a bit like falling behind.

Anyway, thanks for the link to the other thread, Barry. I really appreciate itā€”thanks again!

best regards
Blacky

How does one use RPM Fusion to get Pi kernels?
I thought RPM Fusion only added some additional packages to Fedora?

If one can get Pi 5 working with Fusion, it would make a great blog post.

Hi @theprogram ,

well, i guess, Damian should make a actual Kernel (imo), all other packetā€™s be from aarch fedora.. and my Server in the basement as PI5(16) works great, okay, a few packages are still a bit finicky, but Nextcloud and the web server are running like a charm. NFS, Samba, and so onā€”everything is working perfectly so far . The one or other Packet / Some packages are being swapped out for the same purpose, which is a bit annoying, but other than that, everything is fine so far and like i told, the server runs since more as 1 1/2 Years ā€¦

best
Blacky
