Forgot to mention it before, but a load more Pi4 compliance documents have been added to the docs repo.

This is of interest to those using the Official LCD/touchscreen. I've just found a bug in the touchscreen driver that means the refresh rate is limited to about 25Hz, even though it should be 60. There's a PR going through the system, but thought people might be interested to know the slightly choppy cursor movement is fixed by this - it looks a lot better.

Really odd no-one noticed the problem in the last 5 years...!!!

Not particularly exciting, but I have finally merged some documentation on tvservice, vcgencmd and vcdbg, which some may find useful.

Just uploaded compliance docs for 3A+ for Japan, and for the 4B, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Taiwan.

In github already, should make it to the main website in an hour or two.

The full 2711 datasheet has just been uploaded to github and should go live on the main docs pages in a couple of hours.

Meanwhile, you can find it here

Just gone up on the blog, but we are very pleased to announce a new fully open source camera software stack. This is completely free of the firmware (except for passing images through the ISP hardware), so you can play around with tuning and all sort of things.

Enjoy!

All details on the news page, but of most importance - For security and forthcoming legal reasons, there is no longer a default Pi user with a default password. Applies to all version of OS, refer to the news item for more information.

It's on the blog, but thought it might be of interest to many. We have started manufacturing the Pico in Kenya!
