"No bullshit" updates about what's new about #infobeamer, a #RaspberryPi based digital signage solution: Learn more at https://info-beamer.com/
Neat. The #RaspberryPi 5 will now soon get a method to implement an A/B flow for EEPROM updates. Previously those were always risky as a power loss could potentially render a device unbootable until manually repaired. Now the EEPROM is logically split into two partition and a userland tool can write and commit those. Here's the thread on the Pi forum including my post: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2364222. Looking forward to add this to info-beamer's OS update process once it's officially released.
@astro the info-beamer installation at congress isn’t handled by me, but c3voc (I think?). I don’t have any insight into how it’s moderated. See https://infobeamer.c3voc.de/faq
CDN (Cloudflare) broken their system. The page and dashboard didn't work properly as CSS/JS didn't load properly. They are now temporarily served from the main domain, so it should work for now.
@kauer thanks for the post. As I wrote by email, I still don't get why the EEPROM booted from the card, but the Linux kernel fails to detect any /dev/mmcblk* device. Really odd. Some day we should figure out what's going on there as I've not seen that happen before. --fw
@ron theoretisch funktioniert das alles auch ohne das ganze Hostedzeugs außenrum. Der eigentliche info-beamer Prozess der das Verzeichnis dort (/space/root) abspielt ist mehr oder weniger identisch zum Standalone Binary. Problem wird eher sein, das Abspielverzeichnis passend manuell zu erstellen. Für sowas wie "Image/Video Player" sind das im wesentlichen die eigentlichen Assets und dann die dazu passende config.json. Wie die aussieht, könnt ihr ja in der Hostedvariante anschauen. Hilft?
New Pi CM0 module infos: A Pi Zero 2 W packaged in another form factor. Neat: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/09/23/raspberry-pi-cm0-castellated-module-features-raspberry-pi-rp3a0-system-in-package/ #RaspberryPi
Raspberry Pi CM0 castellated module features Raspberry Pi RP3A0 System-in-Package
Raspberry Pi CM0 is a yet-to-be-officially-announced castellated Compute Module based on the Raspberry Pi RP3A0 SiP (System-in-Package) found in the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3E (CM3E). Since most Raspberry Pi products are announced under a strict embargo, I'm always surprised when I find new Raspberry Pi hardware that was never formally introduced. But it seems to happen from time to time for products targeting business customers specifically. The CM3E Compute Module was one example, and the CM0 appears to be another. Raspberry Pi CM0 specifications (preliminary): SiP – Raspberry Pi RP3A0 SoC - Broadcom BCM2710A1 quad-core Cortex-A53 processor @ 1.0 GHz with VideoCore IV GPU supporting OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 graphics, System Memory - 512MB RAM Storage – 8GB eMMC flash Wireless - 802.11 b/g/n WiFi 4, Bluetooth 4.2 LE (same module as on Pi Zero 2 W) with u.FL antenna connector 132 castellated
One of the reasons why info-beamer still fully supports ancient Pi 1 models. Thanks! https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pis-commitment-to-longevity-a-sustainable-advantage/ #RaspberryPi
Unexpectedly, there is now a better introductory video than I could ever have produced. Here's Josh's overview on how to get started with info-beamer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lHRibxomd4
