• Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

    From adule@3:770/3 to All on Fri Nov 12 10:40:13 2021
    Is there any way to run the older "Buster OS - Lite" on the new
    Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W? I have tried an SD image that has been working on
    the older zero W1 as well as burning a new SD image (Buster OS) and
    neither will boot--no LED, no sign of boot up.

    I was hoping to use the rpi zero 2w as an improved version of an
    existing birdwatcher cam based on an rpi zero w(1) running motioneyeos. Unfortunately, the latest OS (bullseye) has abandoned the older camera implementation, replacing it with "libcamera". The entire Bullseye OS
    Lite has a very "beta" feel about it--at least on the RPI Zero.

    TIA

    Thanks for the link. I had seen that previously, but it looked like a
    ton of downloading and configuring. But since I had no alternative, I
    went through all of the steps. I see no way to get MotioneyeOS running,
    but I do have MotionEye up and running. It doesn't have the ability to
    FTP to my server, but I can probably put something together in C++ or
    Python to handle that since picamera seems to be intact. Also missing
    are the command line rastivid/still commands, but that's not a show stopper.

    Thanks again.
