> Update: 26th October 2023 The Raspberry Pi Foundation recently announced the release of the Raspberry Pi 5 and the new Raspberry Pi OS based on Debian Bookworm. Please note the following compatibility limitations: The PiConsole is compatible with Raspberry Pi OS based on Debian Bookworm or Debian Bullseye. Either OS can be used on a Pi3 or a Pi 4. Updates to the PiConsole are no longer compatible with Raspberry Pi OS (Buster). If you are running this OS on a Raspberry Pi 3, please update to B…

Note - no support for pi5 at this time

> Hi all, just a heads up that I will be working in Antarctica snowflake until late January 2024 and therefore I will not be available to provide support for the PiConsole until I return. Apologies in advance for any issues that may crop up during my absence. Hopefully they are minor!

Note - no official support available for a number of months

That said, run “dpkg --print-architecture” to show if it shows ‘arm64’. The kernels they use show aarch64 even on 32bit os. The 32bit will report ‘armhf’ on a pi4. If you’re really running 64bit, try 32bit. You can’t break anything. It already doesn’t work.
