Hi there!. I am successfully PXE booting my Raspberry PI 3B+. Cool. I was about to move on when I found about "option 43" set to "Raspberry Pi Boot " (three spaces at the end) as a requirement to successfully PXE the Raspberry PI but... I am not using option 43 and my 3B+ boots w...

Maybe this issue would be of interest to you: https://github.com/debian-pi/raspbian-u ... issues/524 . TL;DR: gauging interest in PXE support for "raspbian-ua-netinst".

Cool. Thanks for the suggestions. I am evaluating too "raspbian-ua-netinst". The point is that PXE booting is SLOW and fragile, so it would be faster to do a minimal booting via PXE and then download a real OS in a RAMDISK from a webserver, instead of trying to deliver a 300MB payload thru...

Hi there! I wonder if there is any project out there that runs linux from an initramfs?. Of course, minimum Linux, since it is running from RAM, let's say < 500MB uncompressed. I need to run my idea from initramfs and I wonder if I can learn/steal from somebody else already doing something similar. ...

The kernel drivers definitely have code that polls an empty SD card slot to determine when a card is inserted, so I expect hot-plug is an expected mode of operation. How well it actually works is a different question, as I spent about an hour yesterday looking for one of those tiny cards I had acci...

Hi there. Sorry if this is not the right forum area for this question. Please, move the thread where appropriate. I am thinking about a PXE microSD card flasher. The idea is to boot a Raspberry PI from PXE, with no microSD card. That initial network OS would wait until the user inserts a microSD WHI...

I am just speculating and I am not familiar with this, but maybe supporting something like https://github.com/doe300/VC4CL (OpenCL on the Raspberry PI) could open the door to other developers to help out to "offload" some demanding code to the GPU.

Thanks for your time!.

Sorry, I am talking about GPU acceleration, but using software. That is, the 24 GFLOPS of the GPU, with no special hardware support for AV-1. I fully realize that new silicon takes time. Some time consuming routines in software AV-1 decoding (lets say, FFMPEG, "libav*" or an hypotetical fu...

NETVC/AV1 is the new open video codec (similar in spirit to audio Opus, but for video). It is not patented and it is free to use, and quality and compression is better that H.265 (of course, far better than H.264). Some details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NETVC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1 h...

Hi there! What is the support policy for Jessie (Debian 8) Raspbian systems? I can't find anything relevant online. No changes in the repository since 1st dec 2017. Is it dead already? I guess your don't follow Debian LTS policy :-? Beside that, what is the procedure to upgrade to Debian 9 without a...
