It supports all the main Pi boards but not compute module - well untested at least.

**What hardware do I need to run RPi 4?**
- HDMI to **Micro-HDMI** cable or Micro HDMI to HDMI Adapter and HDMI cable
- Power supply requires 5v USB 3 (reversible) with 3.5 watts when it’s idle and up to 7.6 watts when being taxed
NOTE: USB c cables that work:
[[https://www.tomshardware.com/news/raspberry-pi-4-usb-c-cables-that-work usb c cables for pi-4]]
- MicroSD card for Puppi (when available)
- A case is worth the money - at present all sold out

** How do I get started with Raspberry Pi 4?**
[[https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/raspberry-pi-setting-up Setting Up Pi 4]]
[[https://lifehacker.com/the-always-up-to-date-guide-to-setting-up-your-raspberr-1781419054 Setting up - including OS]]

** How do I get HDMI monitor settings correct for Raspberry Pi 4?**
- The Raspberry Pi uses a configuration file instead of the BIOS you would expect to find on a conventional PC. The system configuration parameters, which would traditionally be edited and stored using a BIOS, are stored instead in an optional text file named config.txt. This is read by the GPU before the ARM CPU and Linux are initialised.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/
https://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/raspberry-pi/28/raspi-display-setting.html
- you must edit config.txt as root user. So sudo geany /boot/config.txt

**How do I turn the RPi 4 off and on again?**
There is no on board switch
Use the mains switch, to turn the power supply on
If plugging and unplugging the USB 3. Plug in straight. To remove. I found pinching it out (not wiggling) the most effective

**How do I make Puppi secure?**
Puppy by default does not have servers and other ports open. Puppy is more secure than other distros
[[http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=637154#637154 Use Growl]] if feeling insecure

**How do I take a screenshot?**
Use Mtpaint/file/actions/time delayed screenshot

**How do I do screencasting?**
Here's a basic recipe for ffmpeg, oh, you need libusb-1.0 from debian PPM too...
Code:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -s vga -r 25 -i :0.0 ~/myvid.avi

**Can I test without a Raspberry Pi?**
[[http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=637335#637335 Help development]] even without Raspberry Pi hardware

**What is unxz or the .xz extension used by Barry K?**
.xz is the latest compression type, much smaller than .gz or .bz2 or zip. The 'unxz' utility decompresses it, and it is then piped to 'dd' -- the "|" is the pipe operator, which means that the output of the unxz operation becomes the input to dd.
If downloading via a Windows PC you will need an extractor that supports the "'.xz" file extension for compressed files. Winrar didn't support it. Download another 'universal extractor' in order to then install via the Win32diskimager program.

**How can I speed up compiling?**
Compile on a Raspberry Pi 4
Compile under Qemu emulation on a fast CPU
Compile outside of X
Compile on Puppy (less deamons)
Compile on a USB connected hard drive if running on Raspberry Pi

**Any tips?**
1. Reboot Puppy before using dd in Puppy (to write SD image)
2. Make use of Puppy resources
We have a great kennel of resources
The forum, Puppy chat etc
3. Turn on the Firewall during initial boot
4. You can [[PuppySchoolProgramming create programs in bashscript]] without the devx
5. Please don't put your Raspberry Pi on the floor. Was one lowered heel away from destruction yesterday - must build case
6. Audio possibility
[[http://mitchtech.net/raspberry-pi-audio/ set audio]]
aplay
what does aplay -l give you?
If it lists multiple cards, you can select the audio out by running:
aplay -Dplughw:X filename.wav
X is the card you choose from 0 to n
