How to migrate Raspberry Pi 5 OS from micro SD to NVME m.2 SSD

首先我買了Raspberry Pi CM5後來買了Raspberry Pi CM5 I/O board來當個人電腦使用,系統是安裝在256GB SD卡上運行的很好。用久了在開啟較肥的程式像Web Browser或LiberOffice會有慢半拍的反應,而有了升級NVME m.2 SSD念頭。 因為Raspberry Pi 5支援的最快PCIe gen3 x 4就不去考慮快的Gen4 or Gen5 m.2 SSD。找了ADATA出的 LEGEND 710入門級的產品,會利用HMB(Host Memory Buffer)來加速I/O速度,因為是Raspberry Pi OS kernel會認不得而無法正常使用 事先在SD卡的/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt 加入 kernel command line參數如下,然後重開機m.

如何在Raspberry Pi4上安裝Proxmox for ARM64

第一步 準備好Raspberry Pi 4 / CM4 4GB RAM,這裡要留意CM4如果是買有內建eMMC storage會限制不能使用SD卡開機而限制本地空間容量,如果沒有NAS外接空間或使用USB開機的話,建議買CM4 Lite插上大容量SD卡 第二步 去Armbian官網下載最小化Debian bookworm image https://www.armbian.com/rpi4b/ Armbian 25.2.2 Bookworm Minimal / IOT 然後寫入SD/USB開機碟,寫入方法參考官方文件 https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot/blob/master/Readme.md Note: 官方提供的預先設定系統方法,可以在Armbian初次啟動自動化完成系統設定。連結在此 https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Autoconfig/

世界越快心越慢

在晚飯後的休息時間,我特別享受在客廳瀏灠youtube上各樣各式創作者的影音作品。很大不同於傳統媒體,節目多是針對大多數族群喜好挑選的,在youtube上我會依心情看無腦的動畫、一些旅拍記錄、新聞時事談論。 尤其在看了大量的Youtube的分享後,我真的感受到會限制我的是我的無知,特別是那些我想都沒想過的實際應用,在學習後大大幫助到我的生活和工作層面。 休息在家時,我喜歡想一些沒做過的菜,動手去設計生活和工作上的解決方案,自己是真的很難閒著沒事做。 如創作文章,陪養新的習慣都能感覺到成長的喜悅,是不同於吃喝玩樂的快樂的。 創作不去限制固定的形式,文字是創作、影像聲音也是創作,記錄生活也是創作,我想留下的就是創造—》實現—》回憶,這樣子的循環過程,在留下的足跡面看到自己一路上的成長、失敗、絕望、重新再來。 雖然大部份的時候去做這些創作也不明白有什麼特別的意義,但不去做也不會留下什麼,所以呀不如反事都去試試看,也許能有不一樣的水花也許有意想不到的結果,投資自己永遠不會是失敗的決定,不是嗎?先問問自己再開始計畫下一步,未來沒人說得準。 像最近看youtube仍大一群人在為DOS開
