Raspberry Pi 6: Better than classic PC? Are Raspberry Pi 5/CM5/500 getting upgrades? What to expect?
On 15th of January Eben Upton hosted Hack chat. His answers to crucial Raspberry Pi experts questions were in a large part surprising and inspiring... Watch the video to learn more about what's to come... ADDITIONAL INFORMATION : 1) How to connect an external graphics card to Raspberry Pi 5? - Option 1: Use PCIe x1 to PCIe x16 adapter (or other PCIe x1 to PCIe x_ adapter as appropriate) + install Raspberry Pi OS with a customized kernel that includes a device driver and settings. - Option 2: Use PCIe x1 to USB 3.2 adapter with a USB-C connector for an external power supply (shown in the video) to connect an USB 3.2 graphics card. However, I'm not sure, if the drivers for the option 1 work or not. Though the graphics card manufactures state that their products work under Linux it is still not clear whether ARM64 architecture and Raspberry Pi 5 are supported in particular. - Option 3: Connect a USB 3.0 graphics card directly to one of Raspberry Pi 5's ports. There might be problems with power supply, if the graphics card requires more than 5 W of power and if other devices are attached to Raspberry Pi 5. The combine power requirements may exceed the original Raspberry Pi 5's PSU capabilities (25 W at 5 V and 5 A). I'm also not sure, if the drivers for the option 1 work or not. Though the graphics card manufactures state that their products work under Linux it is still not clear whether ARM64 architecture and Raspberry Pi 5 is supported are particular. 2) When will Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 with 16 GB RAM be available? Eben Upton let us know that there was a great chance that this would have happened in March. 3) Is there a margin for further Raspberry Pi 5/CM5/500 development? Yes! But Eben Upton didn't exactly specify, what Raspberry Pi Ltd. was planning for the near future. Watch this video to learn about the most probable options: https://youtu.be/q2yvBXmJGqs.
