Getting started with Raspberry PI5 8GB
Case and PCIe#
Update 02.10.2024 I bought the Argon NEO 5 M.2 NVMe PCIE
OLD: I used the case "Raspberry PI5 Case Acryl with FAN" from mindfactory. There seems to be many different "acryl cases" in the market, e.g. you cannot expect to get the same everywhere. My fan in this package had a two pin adapter only, which you can apply to the GPIO pins 4+5 but then the fans runs always, which is too loud. You should use the official 4 pin fan connector, e.g. buy a package with a proper fan! I guess with the 4 pins it is with PWM signal that allows the computer to change the speed of the fan.
Finally I disabled the fan as I have only max 60°C only (see Temparature below).
Storage#
What is fastest?#
Component | Speed |
---|---|
USB 3.0 (5Gbps) | 625 MB/s |
PCIe 2.0 x1 | 250 MB/s |
Gigabit Ethernet | 125 MB/s |
As my case offers a PCIe M.2 NVMe slot I added a SSD 4TB Lexar NM790 M.2 2280 PCIe. This had frequently "input/output error", which could be resolved via reboot only. There seesm to be an issue at the kernel, see here
Anyway, I returned this device and bought a "4TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 3D-NAND TLC (MZ-V9P4T0BW)".
Format #
list devices > lsblk -f nvme0n1 > sudo fdisk /dev/nvme0n1 delete partition > d create GPT partition table > g create partition > n (use defaults) write changes > w create ext4 filesystem sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p1
Secure purge#
> sudo shred -vzu -n0 /dev/nvme0n1
> sudo apt install nvme-cli > nvme format --help > sudo nvme list > sudo nvme format -s2 /dev/nvme0n1
Mount#
create folder as mountpoint > sudo mkdir /mnt/m2 get device ids (you can use also the name in fstab) > sudo blkid add entry in fstab > sudo vi /etc/fstab add line # file_system mount_point type options dump pass /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/m2 ext4 defaults,auto,users,nofail 0 2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto defaults,nofail 0 2 reload and check > sudo systemctl daemon-reload > sudo mount -a > df -h > fdisk --list > lsblk -o PATH,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT /dev/nvme0n1p1If you add an USB drive in fstab, make sure to use option nofail, because system will enter emergency mode (leave with Ctrl+D) if USB drive is turned off otherwise!
OS and update#
I installed Raspberry PI 5 / Raspberry PI OS 64bit on 128GB microSD via Imager SoftwareNote: Settings has three tabs !
- name = raspberrypi5
- Enable SSH !
- Enable WLAN
Update:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo reboot sudo raspi-config ??? sudo apt install apt-transport-https <- no need for https ???
The Squeezebox Radio needs an IP address (see below), so I activated in FritzBox to give the same IP always to "raspberrypi5".
Samba#
Add samba service to share with windows>sudo apt-get install samba # Samba user, same password: > sudo smbpasswd -a <user> > sudo mkdir /var/log/samba }} > sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf add something like: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP # MARKUS ADDED netbios name = LINUXSERVER lanman auth = no ntlm auth = yes client lanman auth = no wins support = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes # MARKUS ADDED [Musik] comment=Raspberry Pi Share path = /media browseable = yes writeable = yes read only = no only guest = no create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0755 public = no force user = markusWrite permissions on windows are shared on Linux level:
> sudo chmod a+rwx /mediaLinux Commands
note: you see the shares used only if some user uses currently, otherwise check config
> sudo service smbd restart > sudo smbcontrol all reload-config > samba --version => Version 4.17.12-Debian > systemctl status smbd > sudo smbstatus > sudo smbstatus --shares > sudo pdbedit -L -v > cat /var/log/samba/log.smbd

Temperature and Power#
PowerYou cannot properly messure power consumption in PI, app "powertop" cannot be used due to missing batterie.
> vcgencmd measure_volts => volt = 0,7200VI used a smart power adapter from Gosund to check:
- 3,0 - 3,4W while idle/streaming
- 3,6 - 3,9W while copying files via Samba
Temperature
You can use Linux for checking that:
> sudo cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/tempSome Linux background about temperatures:
see folder /sys/class/thermal/
=> zones, PI5 has one only = thermal_zone0
note: values like 60050 = 60,05°C
file | description | value |
---|---|---|
type | Type of the thermal zone | cpu-thermal |
temp | Current temperature | 56,0 - 60,5 °C without fan in arcyl case (sdCard side open) |
mode | Working mode of the thermal zone | enabled |
policy | Thermal governor used for this zone | step_wise |
available_policies | Available thermal governors for this zone | step_wise |
trip_points | temp=temperature/type=type/hyst=Hysteresis value for this trip point | 0 critical / 110 °C / 0 |
1 active / 50 °C / 5 | ||
2 active / 60 °C / 5 | ||
3 active / 67,5 / 5 | ||
4 active / 75 °C / 5 | ||
slope | Slope constant applied as linear extrapolation | -550 |
sustainable_power | Sustainable dissipatable power | 0 |
k_po | Proportional term during temperature overshoot | 0 |
k_pu | Proportional term during temperature undershoot | 0 |
k_i | PID's integral term in the power allocator gov | 0 |
k_d | PID's derivative term in the power allocator | 0 |
integral_cutoff | Offset above which errors are accumulated | 0 |
offset | Offset constant applied as linear extrapolation | 450000 |
Current CPU frequency
> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq => 15000000 > vcgencmd measure_clock arm => frequency(0)=1500004352

I followed more or less StepByStep Instructions by Harald Kreuzer.
Disable swap file
sudo service dphys-swapfile stop sudo systemctl disable dphys-swapfile sudo apt-get purge dphys-swapfile sudo apt autoremove sudo vi /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt ADD at the end of line >noswap< console=[...] noswap sudo vi /etc/fstab ADD: # Log to RAM tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=1777,size=256m 0 0 tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=0755,size=128m 0 0 tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=0755,size=128m 0 0

4. At radio you can choose Eigene Musik > Wiedergabelisten; you can even save that as favorite
UPnP/DLNA Streaming Server - minidlna
#
Notes
- This is for all media, musik is already available with LMS.
- KODI etc is running as app, e.g. you need to connect HDMI from Raspberry to TV !
sudo apt install minidlna sudo service minidlna restart
Standard share is at /var/lib/minidlna/
config
vi /etc/default/minidlna vi /etc/minidlna.conf

Issues#
No sound over HDMI (Browser Streaming)#
Solution at tecchannel
sudo vi /boot/firmware/config.txt
# added Markus EDIT for HDMI sound output in browser on TV hdmi_drive=2 hdmi_force_hotplug=2
Error message "Cannot open access to console, the root acccount is locked"#
Solution at github
=> turn on external harddisk while booting, you can turn off afterwards again
