Working on new Snakeoil release - 1.3.x (Codename Measurements)

[uglymusic]

Raspberry Pi 5 is (almost) here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/

It may be a better option than a CM4. Or wait for the CM5? 

Only way to find out is to get 'em.. I'm planning to get 2. Unfortunately seems the pre-orders are all gone and I have to wait. Anybody managed to successfully get one?

My setup is probably going to be Pi5 with the pci-e extension breakout to run the USB card (not available yet). And to a future CM5 once everything settles down.

Pretty sure bookworm is also out for Raspberry OS so I might get that up and running in due time too.. This build might take a while as I've ran out of USB 3 SSD caddies .

Havn't had time to work on SnakeoilOS since last update as I've been home late most days. Anyhoo, back to work. More updates on Measurements work to follow hopefully.. Planning to go to our sponsor's (Sublime Hifi) to help him with some stuffs on one day of the coming weekend so realistically only have a few hours to work on Measurements. Still, I'm excited to read about the Pi 5 as honestly not expecting it this year!

RPi 5 was a complete surprise, arriving this early. 

I appear to have missed the first batch, but I am in the second. Arrival is supposed to be November/December, with the nasty two-tone case   I ordered one RPi 5 because I don't really need a second, and the rumoured 16GB version would be very useful for non-audio projects. 

I read that Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm is due mid-October, but I thought you were moving to Ubuntu for Measurements. 

The PCI-e connection is a great carrot, for sure.
