RPI5 OS Switch + Tiny_Jarvis easier to put in place
- Worst day in my life. Tried to flash a Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit) on the raspberry pi 5 (which btw has an NVMe SSD), and it did NOT go well:
- First flash using the Imager: didn’t work, nothing happened, the Pi started speaking in freaking morse code
- Spent an hour trying to decode that morse code according to documentation, thought it was an EEPROM bootloader issue, made a diagnostic card, made a factory reset card, nope.
- Realized I could plug it through HDMI to my projector; did that: it was asking me for a username.
- Didn’t have a USB keyboard so couldn’t type it in. Almost threw the Pi out of the window cos I configured all that in the fricking Imager.
- Realized I was using the Imager from Flathub and not
rpi-imager - Retried the whole thing with that Imager: still didn’t work.
- Spent two hours doing the same thing over and over: flashing the card with the Imager, going into the files, editing
user-data,cloud-init-ouput.log, etc… realized the Imager wasn’t writing the information in those files but others, booting it up into HDMI, checking the logs, managing to bypass username but not keyboard layout, etc… I EVEN TRIED LEGACY VERSIONS OF THE OS AND CREATING Awpa_supplicant.conf. - Atp I was going to crash out but then I checked my
rpi-imagerversion (even though I had updated it) and turns out my laptop just couldn’t get the latest version : it was1.8.0, not2.1.0(the latest one). - Downloaded the newest version, ran it, and it worked. I have officially lost faith in humanity.
- Anyways I read my README.md and decided that it was getting way too complicated (the installation part) so I pasted that whole part into Kimi K3 and he made me a
install.shwhich is basically fire since you just run
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
and the whole system-wide-packages-and-dependencies are all installed in the right order, easily.
- This is tested and proved (i did it with the newly flashed OS).
