If you've got several Raspberry Pi 4 B boards in your office and you reach for one, it's difficult to tell how much RAM the model has, just by looking at the PCB.
RASPBERRY PI 4 REVISIONS HOW TO
How to Tell a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) From Other Models
RASPBERRY PI 4 REVISIONS INSTALL
It’s not too difficult to install Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi, but in my experience using it on a 4GB Raspberry Pi 4 B, it could be kind of sluggish. I didn’t test them on the 8GB model, but it’s worth mentioning that both Ubuntu and Gentoo already have 64-bit operating systems that are compatible with the Raspberry Pi.
For example, the 64-bit OS now uses KMS (Kernel Mode Switching) for display management, which Upton says could result in problems during beta, but will ultimately lead to a more efficient OS. However, it’s important to note that this early beta build is just a starting point and most of the changes we’ll see are under the hood. You'll then need to use Raspberry Pi Imager or Etcher to burn the img to a microSD card. If you want to try the new 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS beta, check out Pi CEO Eben Upton's forum post, which contains a direct link to download the latest img file for it.

I was able to use more than 4GB of RAM in both operating systems, with a series of nearly 60 tabs with many actively playing 4K video (along with video editor OneShot) taking me over the 4GB threshold. Strangely, there’s slightly less available RAM in the 64-bit OS than in 32-bit, with 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS showing 7.8GB available while the 64-bit version has 7.6GB available. All the preloaded apps are 32-bit, so they don’t really take advantage of the 64-bit capability. So far, I didn’t find a single thing you could do with the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS that you can’t do with regular 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS (aka Raspbian). The familiar Raspberry Pi logo sits on the start menu, the fonts and colors are the same, the Raspberry Pi Configuration app is the same and even the default desktop wallpaper is the same at this point. You can order it from our e-shop or you may be able to order it from our resellers soon.Raspberry Pi 4 B (8GB) running 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS (Image credit: Tom's Hardware)Īs part of my testing, I got early access to Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit), which looks and feels just like its 32-bit counterpart has for a long time.
RASPBERRY PI 4 REVISIONS UPGRADE
However you will need to upgrade the firmware by yourself. Witty Pi 3 (Rev1) and Witty Pi 3 Mini can also use the new firmware and software.
RASPBERRY PI 4 REVISIONS UPDATE
Please notice the firmware and software update are not dedicated for Witty Pi 3 Rev2.
When you install the new software, it will install the latest UWI for you (given you don’t have “uwi” folder in your home directory). UUGear Web Interface (UWI) is also updated to V1.01, to support the new revision of Witty Pi 3. Also the we made some improvements on Internet time synchronisation, to avoid writing incorrect time into system, when the network is not stable. The software is also updated to V3.12, to allow users to actually set a longer power cut delay. More details can be found in its user manual. The purpose for this update is to workaround the boot delay caused by USB boot or NOOBS. This firmware allows setting the power cut delay to a bigger value (up to 25.0 seconds). Witty Pi 3 Rev2 comes with newer version of firmware (V1.03, with ID=0x23). Now the new revision comes with a decent switching DC/DC converter, which can work up to DC 28V without adding extra heat sink, and still keeps the efficiency above 80%, that is indeed a comprehensive improvement. That means using it on 12V or 24V system is not practical: even if the regulator can work with extra heat sink, the efficiency will be so poor and that ruins the advantage of using Witty Pi, which is saving energy in most cases. The table below compares the two revisions with detailed parameters.īecause the first revision uses linear regulator (LM29150), its efficiency drops very quick when the input voltage increase.
To type C connector and the new DC/DC converter is at up-right corner of the board. The locations of headers and switch remain the same, that means the new revision and old revision are physically interchangeable (except that you need to use type C plug instead of micro USB plug, if you want to give it 5V). The appearance of Witty Pi 3 Rev2 is very similar to the first revision (please see the picture below). These changes give Witty Pi 3 much better ability to output higher current, and also practically widen the range of input voltage. This new revision changes the 5V input connecter from micro USB to USB type C, and replaces the onboard linear regulator (LM29150) with switching DC/DC converter (MP4462). Today we are proud to announce Witty Pi 3 Rev2: a new revision of Witty Pi 3.
