it uses the PARTUUID (root=PARTUUID=83c4223d-02 in /boot/cmdline.txt), which is the very same on both devices as they are clones of the official Raspberry Pi OS image. PARTUUIDs are supposed to be unique within a system, so having the same PARTUUID on different devices will cause problems. If you c...

Simply, bsdtar cannot be used on PINN to tar files due to buildroot limitations of using uclibc, although it can untar files. Likewise, I use gzip instead of xz to compress archives on the Pi due to memory and performance constraints (think PiZero). Xz is used on a PC for ultimate compression, but g...

If you really want to go down this rabbit hole, you can have a read of these posts at https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs/issues?q=bsdtar, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Like most things, it's a compromise and no single tool will cope with all the variety of OSes I cater for these ...

@cleverca22 - interesting. I never knew that. It will make Jim's project easier. Thanks for posting.

I'm pretty sure this is supported already. If not, or if it doesn't work for you, just edit cec_keys.json to map 2 keys to the up & down keys. TV remotes are all different, but the mouse cursor emulation should work on most of them, which is why it is the default. See my wiki on GitHub for more ...

Not quite sure what you mean by "switch" Providing the OS supports it, PINN can install an OS to the SD card or to an SDD. But you can't mix and match. There are just 3 options: 1) PINN and all OSes installed to SD card 2) PINN and all OSes installed to USB/SDD/HDD. 3) PINN and all boot pa...

@gn77b, @jharris1993 In my opinion, you are both right. It depends on your experience, capability and knowledge of the system. I wouldn't recommend this approach to a beginner, and would guide them through the approach that JIm suggested. If you know what you are doing and how the system works, you ...

1. The current version of Retropie4 (4.6) will not boot from USB. You need to wait until I convert version 4.7.1 (which hopefully won't be long). 2. Your procedure up to the point where you say "Then I try to format "Data Partition" via gparted" sounds ok. 3. Before you use Gpart...

If your SD card does not work in your USB adaptor, do not assume it is faulty, as you might just need some additional configuration. You didn't mention which OS you have on your SD card. Assuming you have a recent version of Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS, then it should just work ok (subject to the USB b...

I've seen this happen when users have copied a PINN SD card to USB and tried to boot it. Have you done that?

procount

My understanding is that neither PiNN nor NOOBS work without an SD card present because the boot partitions need to be on the SD card. However, I think the system root could be on the SSD. Actually, both NOOBS & PINN work perfectly well with USB & SSD drives. The boot partitions do not need...

I believe the "requiresPartitionNumber" parameter was added to support Windows IoT, but it is also used to make sure RiscOS is the first OS when selected, as it MUST go there. I've not seen any other use for it. It is only used by the NOOBS/PINN program and not passed to Parted or fdisk. I...

What are you on about? ;) Just download the contents of the following folder -> https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/data_partition/ (Forget the archive folder in there, you don't need it.) Copy it to /os on your SD card or USB stick and modify as required. You can even set the partition size as variab...

At risk of putting even more on your plate, it would be convenient to have a data partition of a user-defined, pre-set size. It's already in the roadmap. Do you have any idea WHY modifying the partitions and editing the installed_os.json file wold cause such havoc? Sorry I didn't have time to reall...

JIm - Take a look at the metafiles for the 512MB data partition. Copy them to your own USB drive, or even put them in the /os folder on your PINN partition. Modify the os.json and partitions.json to make it as big as you want and whatever format you want. Install that instead of manually messing wit...

Retropie 4.6 is not suitable for USB boot. You will need to wait until I convert 4.7, or upgrade it yourself if that is possible.

procount

There is already an option to install a "Data Partition" from the list of available OSes. The idea was that this could be used as a shared partition between the other OSes. It is fixed in size, but using pinn.mjh.nz, you could make it any size you want. Or create a template for your own da...

Pre-allocation only really helps to postpone the installation of standard 2 partition OSes. Fortunately that covers most OSes, but not things like Volumio or Android. Maybe in the future I will be able to accommodate more elaborate partition layouts. It doesn't matter if the boot partitions are odd ...

procount

Yes, that sounds correct.

procount

PINN is based on NOOBS, which does not allow any changes to the OSes once they have been installed. This is because moving partitions around is tricky and affects all OSes after any modification. PINN gets around this by allowing OSes to be replaced by other ones, but only if it does not affect the ...

Buildroot is also the framework used to build NOOBS, PINN & Berryboot.

procount

So it does! Sorry, I obviously didn't look closely enough. Maybe it was a 16GB card that was cloned to a 32GB card :man_shrugging: In which case Gparted could be used to expand the extended partition (part 2), expand the root partition (part7) and then resize the rootfs. But I think SD Card Copier w...

Your SD card is full. Your best bet would be to get a bigger SD card (e.g. 32GB) and use SD card Copier in the Raspberry Pi OS menu to copy your old card to your new card using a USB SD Card adaptor. It looks like you have a 16GB SD card and you installed full NOOBS on it. This takes up 2.4GB for th...
