alpine-raspberry-pi VS rpi-eeprom

archlinux-arm/alpine (https://github.com/knoopx/alpine-raspberry-pi)

I personally like Alpine 64 bit for Docker: it is hard to beat Alpine’s speed on the pi. You can build from tarball as mentioned on their website or use a premade image like here.

You can try a premade image here. I know it has armv7 support, not sure if it supports armv6.

You can do it with Alpine. Here is an example.

Alpine runs great on the pi! Check out this script. You can add docker as an additional package, change between armhf and arm64 (with the applicable edits to config.txt in the bootstrap folder,) add docker to the list of startup services, and even configure things like wifi and user accounts. You then build a custom image and flash a preconfigured Alpine OS.

I don't have Pi 5 to check this, but from what I've read, it does not support PPS. And such support is required; otherwise, even with a source that supports PPS, the connection will behave in a non-PPS fashion.

Apparently, cable quality is also demonstrating itself to be a significant factor in the Pi 5 power supply environment.

Regarding both these points:

I should note, I updated the eeprom, USB hub, and network firmware using the images provided from the following repository: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom. So it certainly isn't a corrupted eeprom chip, and if it was I wouldn't be able to boot the old installation I pulled from my backup drive.

Its a known issue with the current Pi 4 boot firmware. The net install option is trying to look for a keyboard and gets confused with some HIDs.

I was working on a final project for my class and needed an adc. So I ordered an ADS1115 and I had to solder the pins onto it. I've never soldered before, but I tried my best. Didn't look amazing, but didn't look like any pins were getting shorted so I plugged it in to the Pi. I then noticed that my ssh disconnected and couldn't reconnect. Tried plugging in the HDMI and there was no video output. I tried flashing a new OS onto it, didn't work. Tried EEPROM recovery from here and it didn't work. So I think I killed the Pi. It doesn't feel like it's getting warmed up or anything.

I try to reset the pi as factory settings (following this github advice). I use pi-imager to set my SD card to lead the pi using USB boot priority and plug a USB key with raspbian OS (no desktop) and now getting green screen when booting. Think that the pi is dead.

I think it was this one:

I had the same problem as you, updated my eeprom and the problem was fixed
