Jeff GeerlingThe Raspberry Pi 5 is 2.5x faster than the Pi 4 (sometimes more!), and I have the FULL rundown — let me walk you through it in this thread. #RaspberryPi #Pi5
For starters, check out my video on the #RaspberryPi 5, it goes through _everything_ in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBtOEmUqASQ #Pi5
Raspberry Pi 5: EVERYTHING you need to know
Radu Ursache@geerlingguy great cover up! quick (dumb?) question: will I be able to just pop a raspberry pi 4 sd card into the new 5 gen and get everything working as soon as it boots? a drop-in replacement basically?
@radu Yes...ish. As long as you keep it updated—Pi 5 requires Bookworm (version 12) and has to have the right dtb file in /boot for the Pi 5 to boot properly.
I still recommend re-flashing though :)
@geerlingguy so i should update the current Pis, fresh install raspberry os on the pi 5, copy its /boot folder into the pi4 sd cards and i’m up and running? 😬
@radu It _should_ be that simple, but you'll have to upgrade from Bullseye to Bookworm on the Pi 4, and that could cause its own issues...
@geerlingguy fair point. i guess i’ll see when i get there, thanks!
