Adam MacLeodDoes anyone have first-hand experience with both Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, and tried transplanting a MicroSD card directly from the Pi4 into the Pi5, while the card has Raspberry pi OS Lite on it? Will this just work, or are there enough HW changes that it won't?
Borris@adam If it's an up-to-date 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, it should work. If it's a 32-bit system, or the overlays are out-of-date, maybe not.
@BorrisInABox Ok, makes sense, thanks.
@BorrisInABox Definitely not HamVoIP. That should have been clear by the specification of Raspberry Pi OS Lite that is on the card.
@adam Oh yeah, I know you knew that, but it's another opportunity to poke the bear and see if it's still dead. Yep, no updates in ages. Who'd have thought official ASL would work on the rPi5 first?
@BorrisInABox Yeah true. How the tables have turned. Funny thing is, I haven't even installed ASL3 on anything yet. A microgram of me wishes I cared, but that's not a lot, and I don't. LOL.
@adam I have installed it on some play-with throw-away nodes. I guess I really should get with you at some point about upgrading the VPS-bound systems. I've just not been particularly motivated either with junk going on.
@BorrisInABox No worries. I hear ya on the lack of motivation. We can do that when ever you find it. I'm not rushed neither though.
@adam Yeah, there are plenty of good reasons to do it. Lots of development. New versions coming out every couple of weeks. Glad to see it. But everything is currently working, and I'm lazy.
@BorrisInABox Slightly curious, are all the ASL3 components integrated into apt? Like apt update && apt upgrade -y will just automagically upgrade everything?
@adam That is correct. If you install the asl3 appliance, the name of which now escapes me, it's all in one package. I wouldn't do that on a VPS, though.
@BorrisInABox Yeah, definitely not a good idea on a VPS. Although, I imagine even when installing it on top of an existing OS, it probably has all of its components in a repo.
@adam This is what you're supposed to do. Get a base Debian 12.6 OS, install the repo, do the thing.
@BorrisInABox Makes sense.
@adam There are new things on the beta channel every week. Usually what is in beta makes it to production a week later. So much development and cool junk. A feature is being proposed to add auto WiFi access point for mobile nodes. It's working fine but not integrated yet.
@BorrisInABox I saw something come across the Shari list about that.
@adam Screw the clear node and it's freaking WiFi by Light shit. LOL
@BorrisInABox @adam deffinitly, converting and upgrading my pihat on the desk might be a shit show, though.
@munchkinbear @adam I did a clean ASL3 on a Pi Hat, found some much better than default settings for it.
@BorrisInABox @adam I've modified the shit out of this install... lol. Replicating it on ASL3 would take a good long stretch of solid time I'm betting.
@munchkinbear @adam Yep, probably. Config files are totally redone in places. It'd probably be worth it though. Easier in the long run to add cool stuff, because it's not using old Python and libgcc and weird package repos that never get updates.
@BorrisInABox @adam yeah I'd have to make sure skywarnplus, and all the stuff I've done for echo stink, dmr, etc. can be ported to ASL3.
@munchkinbear @adam Yes, and yes. If you asked that question about a week ago, maybe not, but the DVSwitch build script has been updated. If you tried installing it before, the software vocoder would reliably crash.
