[DNG] Devuan and the raspberry pi 3+

2018-08-20 Thread Jim Jackson


There are images of Devuan ASCII for the Raspberry Pi 3. Anyone know if 
these are ok for the 3+? Or would I need to run the image on a model 3 and 
update the firmware and kernel before moving to the 3+?

cheers

I used devuan_ascii_2.0.0_arm64_raspi3 from the embedded sets running
on the 3B+
You do have to resize the root partition manually if you do not use
the space for another partition.   I haven't checked the graphics or
anything but OpenSSH works fine.

Ok Thanks. I'm thinking of upgrading the PI I've got on a Pi Display to a 
3+ so I'll buy the pi and give it a go.

I just checked the graphics for Ascii.  I'm not sure about the Pi
Display but it works fine with an HDMI monitor, at least with XFCE4.
Though probably a window manager alone would be more appropriate than a
full desktop environment.  Sound works via HDMI as well.  Bloated
graphical apps will max out the CPU though.  Timezone needs to be set
manually.

We will see what happens. I've only run the command line with the Pi 
display so far -  on a RaspberryPi 2. But My grandson wants to  do
MineCraft, so upgrading to a Pi3+ seemed the sensible thing to do.
All my other Pi's run headless.
