Pi Server V3: Compute Module 5 Custom Build
I’m back at it with the planned Pi server upgrade. I've finally been able to get hold of a Compute Module 5 with 8 GB of RAM and picked up a secondhand NVME SSD due to the crazy RAM and storage price hikes of the last six months or so. My current Pi 3 web servers had been pretty reliable, but a bit on the slow side, so this upgrade is much needed. Especially considering my second Pi 3 running Home Assistant had been a bit wobbly with regular crashes. I hadn't figured out why, as the web […] -
One gripe with the Argon One Up is WiFi performance seems to be weak. Reading the documentation, it appears the CM5 defaults to using a PCB-trace antenna which lives behind a massive heatsink inside the base of the laptop.
Not a recipe for success on microwave bands.
https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2022/enable-external-antenna-connector-on-raspberry-pi-compute-module-45/ describes how to switch it to the "external" antenna, which is presumably better placed.
Doing this, it seems to receive a lot better.

Been updating the OS on my old faithful (Panasonic CF-53), as well as setting up Gentoo on the Argon One Up CM5.
Package builds are demonstrably faster on the CM5 than the CF-53. As in big builds like `webkit-gtk` are building a lot faster on the CM5 than they are on the CF-53.
The CF-53 is a Core i5-3320M; hyperthreaded dual-core x86-64 running 2.6GHz, there's 8GB RAM.
The CM5 is a Broadcom BCM2712; quad-core ARM Cortex A76 running at 2.4GHz, and the module I have sports 16GB RAM.The CM5 is leaving the old machine in the dust in all areas except video acceleration… haven't quite got that working in X11 yet (I'll move to Wayland when it's ready… it isn't now for my use case).
I guess I'll know more once I get more of my standard desktop applications up and running.

I've built a custom kernel and updated my `cmdline.txt` to point `root=` at the Gentoo partition. Damn this thing flies on Gentoo.
I had Debian momentarily on NVMe as I re-arranged things on the eMMC, and didn't notice much of a speed-up, notably opening a terminal window took ~30 seconds or more, whether running from eMMC or NVMe.
On Gentoo, it's practically instant (booting from NVMe).
I have some graphics acceleration issues to sort out in X11, but things are a lot more responsive.
Maybe it's all that `systemd` junk. It certainly isn't my CFLAGS because they're as plain as they come: `-O2 -pipe`.

One thing I'm noticing about this machine… `cmake` has a serious case of dependency amnesia.
Currently I'm building the KDE Plasma applications… `kde-apps/kde-apps-meta`.
I'll run `emerge`; it'll start building, then one package, `cmake` will claim "I can't find Qt${MODULE}" (it might be QtGui, QtQuick…etc.). I have `--keep-going` but despite this, `emerge` stops there even though there are _other_ packages it could merge in the meantime.
I hit up-arrow, enter.
`emerge` thinks for a moment, then successfully builds the package `cmake` said it couldn't find a dependency for. It'll go for a 8-20 packages… then the cycle repeats.
Aside from that, the machine obviously isn't going to replace the Starbook in terms of performance… but on a per-watt basis, the machine's performance is impressive and the machine is quite usable.
Gentoo is in a chroot for now, looking forward to getting a kernel building on the machine and seeing if I can coax Grub to run in `arm64-efi` mode.

The other day, a 1TB SSD turned up (Western Digital Green SN3000). I tried booting from NVMe but didn't notice much of a speed boost… however for storage of my personal data, NVMe is by far the safest place to keep it: if something destroys the compute module, my data is entombed on the eMMC unless I manage to successfully de-solder it and tack wires to the balls to interface to it.
It's also a better place for swap space. The NVMe should have better endurance and performance than the eMMC. I'll keep Debian on the eMMC (where the 64GB size is less of a constraint), `/home` and swap on NVMe.
I've set up a 180GB partition formatted BTRFS, and have Gentoo building inside that.
So far this machine this machine is taking Gentoo in its stride. I intend to get a bootloader going so I can comfortably dual-boot (maybe U-boot, GRUB or rEFInd?) but my journey into the ARM world is going fine so far.

Sentinel Core mini ITX board lets you use a GPU with a Raspberry Pi CM5 (crowdfunding)
The Raspberry Pi CM5 computer-on-a-module features support for single-lane PCIe 2.0 or PCIe 3.0 connections. Most of the existing carrier boards for the CM5 use that to give you an M.2 slot that allows you to connect an SSD. But the Sentinel Core is a mini ITX board that gives you a full-sized PCIe x16 connector, allowing you to connect a desktop graphics card, among other things.
The board is […]

This board turns a Raspberry Pi CM5 into a NAS with support for 5 HDDs
The Radxa Taco is a carrier board for a Raspberry Pi Compute Module that gives you ethernet, USB, and HDMI ports plus a microSD card reader and M.2 2280 and M.2 2230 slots. But this board also has SATA connectors that let your compute module to power a network-attached storage system with up to five hard drives.
When Radxa first launched the Taco board in 2022 it supported the Raspberry Pi […]
