install issues

[djbutka]

I recently upgraded from a Ubuntu raspberry to  a Raspery PI5 running PI OS and have two Nordic boards but not able to install the nrfConnect image on the PI image. Is there some tricks to it or to I need to get back to Ubuntu. Thanks.

It should work on the Pi 5, but nRF Connect isn’t fully optimized for Raspberry Pi OS yet. Most people have better luck using Ubuntu on the Pi, since Nordic’s tools are tested there.

ok i liked Ubuntu anyway. seems to be an OS2 issue with the appimage execution. But will try another SD card with Ubuntu. Thanks.

I tried Ubuntu on my Raspberry Pi5 and the NrfCoonect.AppImage still wouldnt load. Think its a problem with it being an ARM processor and it still works on my Intel X64 board. Isnt there a solution by Nordic yet or do I move on with our pojects from Nordic. Right now we have 2 but cant run Ubuntu or PI. Is there no manual install for the Connect. Thanks.

I never tested this on Raspberry pi, but didn't you say that you got it running on ubuntu raspberry Pi5 initially?

Yes but this is an intel based system x64 and still works but limited on memory.  So I upgraded to a raspberry pi5 which is arm 64 and can't nrf connect. Now may have to be stuck with both systems because it looks like Ubuntu arm64 isn't supported on Nordic website.  So sad. Any ideas.
