poleguy looking for lost tools

Unbelievable: the rpiboot included in ubuntu 24.04 is broken to the point it can't boot a brand new pi CM5 module.

Why doesn't this get a bold warning on the rpi documentation online!? Why do I have to find this on a personal blog?!

On the flip side: I'm so happy for the old web. And that my CM5 boots!

I had to rebuild it from scratch, which took all of one second. Why bother even distributing it with ubuntu if it isn't kept up to date? Wild.

Flashing a Raspberry Pi CM5 using a device running Ubuntu 20.04

I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) and wanted to flash it with the Raspberry Pi OS using a laptop running Ubuntu 20.04, but was faced with an error when trying to flash the image. This post will show you how to flash a Raspberry Pi CM5 using an Ubuntu 20.04 device.

@poleguy Last time I used Ubuntu (more than 10 years ago?) I was getting segmentation faults all over the place. Changed for Debian, all sigfaults gone.
And that was before they introduced Snaps
