Hi guys, so I after testing IPFire in another system and getting it up and running, I saw the potential of running IPfire on a Raspberry Pi 5 for being small and compact (less space in my room). But… after flashing the latest image to the Raspi 5 I’m getting the following error. I tried adding the l…

[image] D R: Do you know if the RP4 is supported? Are all versions of the RP4 supported? In case you would still like to consider the Rpi I think you will find these helpful if you haven’t already seen them: [image] Raspberry Pi - The IPFire Documentation …

Is there a working blob for RaspberryPi 4GB V1.4 depending temperatures, meanwhile? May 23 I tested the available ones, but without success.

I dont know because i doesn’t have any v1.4 boards.

Thank you. Arne.F explained that the RP5 is not supported yet on the current Ipfire kernel version. I appreciate the documentation. Hopefully in a near future support is added for the RP5. The RP5 documentation only shows how amazing the RP5 will be someday… :smirk:. Right now it’s… lacking support…

How is the situation today: is it now possible to install IPFire on a EasPi 5 w. 4 GB?

There maybe future hope: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dts

Currently u-boot doesn’t support Raspberry Pi 5 so it will not boot out of the box. Not sure if the IPFire kernel can boot without u-boot. Earlier RPi Firmwares need a special packed kernel or u-boot but maybee an uEFI image will able to boot now. (I have not tested anything because i don’t have a …

Many thanks for your answer. Does that mean, in the moment best solution is to buy a Pi4B 4GB ? I preferred the Pi5 because of probably better Ethernet and also USB. For a Firewall important things.
