Is Patchbox OS / MODEP now supported on Raspberry Pi 5?

Patchbox OS MODEP
1

Hello all,

Going through the posts in this community, I wasn’t able to figure out if Patchbox OS / MODEP is supported on Raspberry Pi 5. This link does not list it as a supported model.

My objective here is to run NAM on a Raspberry Pi 5 (4 or 8GB RAM as required) with the RPi DAC Pro with additional effects. Is this the right way to go about this?

@Joson_Mathew yes, the 5 is supported for sure. I’ve been running MODEP on my 5 now for a couple of months. I highly suggest using the active cooler.

Hi there! Is this required to to perhaps solve the problem I’m having installing externals on the Rpi 5? To put another way: is this OS required just to use PiSound on the 5?

@biscuitvile so what kind of externals are you trying to use?

Also, I’m not 100% sure if the PiSound would work on a non-Patchbox OS. I would assume it would. I’m sure @Giedrius knows.

You can use Pisound with any Linux distribution that supports Pi 5 and is based on the official tree of the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s Linux kernel.

Btw, feel free to create a separate topic about the PD externals issue you’re having.

Edit: found your topic: Can't install Pd externals on Raspberry Pi 5
