Session
The Raspberry Pi 5, introduced in 2023, arrives with a range of exciting new hardware features. Shortly after its release, support was added for it as a machine in the community-maintained BSP layer meta-raspberrypi.
In this presentation, we will dive into the Raspberry Pi 5’s advanced hardware capabilities, explore key software changes, and share real-life war stories. We will also discuss optional build configurations in meta-raspberrypi, U-Boot support across Yocto releases Scarthgap and Styhead, and review various strategies for over-the-air software updates specifically tailored to the Raspberry Pi 5.
