DreamHAT+ for the Raspberry Pi 4/5 brings 60 GHz mmWave Radar support for detecting motion for things like presence detection, gesture recognition, and motion tracking without a camera. #Radar#DreamHATPlus#RaspberryPihttps://www.cnx-software.com/2025/07/27/dreamhat-60-ghz-mmwave-radar-hat-brings-high-precision-motion-sensing-to-raspberry-pi-4-5/

This open source Raspberry Pi HAT adds a microSD Express card reader for PCIe SSD-like speed (read speed anyway, write is less impressive). MicroSD Express cards are expensive & rare though, so this board won't be mass produced, but you can make your own from the designs. https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/07/28/raspberry-pi-5-gets-a-microsd-express-hat/#RaspberryPi#MicroSDExpress

Nerves will be using Raspberry Pi tryboot to resist bad kernel upgrades and more. It is nice to see that we can bring Raspberry Pi ever closer to parity with the more commercially focused boards as so many get their start on these lovely boards:

New blog post: https://blog.mei-home.net/posts/tinkerbell-5-hookos-direct-boot/

I'm trying to directly boot Tinkerbell's HookOS without using EFI/iPXE. I'm failing to, but I have a plan.

This post is mostly a bit of detective work on why HookOS' initramfs is not booting properly. The answer is: The Raspberry Pi's firmware.

In unsurprising #snac on a #raspberrypi news. I am increasingly fed up of having to restart it when it crashes due to running out of memory. It happens quite often when I post and sometimes when I don’t. I think this is due to having more content on disk than when I first set it up.

I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…
