Turing Pi 2.5.x hardware shipping

If you've pre-ordered a Turing Pi 2.5, will you receive that version of hardware exactly, or will an updated version such as 2.5.1 ship with bugfixes instead?

Unable to boot CM4 in node 3 slot

Hi there, I have a Turing Pi 2 that I got from backing on Kickstarter. I have 2x 8GB RK1s as nodes 1 and 2 (which remain off at the moment as it looks like I need to get a different USB cable to flash them with rkdeveloptool \[as here](<https://docs.turingpi.com/discuss/65b024aa66172c003199e612>)) and 2x 8GB CM4 Lite (CM4008000) as nodes 3 and 4. I've flashed this \[Talos OS 1.7.0](<https://factory.talos.dev/image/ee21ef4a5ef808a9b7484cc0dda0f25075021691c8c09a276591eedb638ea1f9/v1.7.0/metal-arm64.iso>) onto SD cards for the 2x CM4s. Node 4 boots up fine. I can see it boot successfully using picocom in ssh, and I can apply a config with talosctl. However, I'm unable to get node 3 to boot. This is what I see on the serial terminal: > <br> > > U-Boot 2024.01 (Mar 01 2024 - 17:26:00 +0000) > > DRAM: 992 MiB (effective 7.9 GiB) > RPI Compute Module 4 (0xd03141) > Core: 207 devices, 16 uclasses, devicetree: board > MMC: mmc@7e340000: 0 > Loading Environment from FAT...

Things I've tried so far: - I've tried swapping the nodes, swapping the SD cards, flashing a new SD card for node 3, and using a brand new spare carrier board. - I also have an Ethernet device that is passing through the Turing's internal switch to my router, so have tried unplugging that too. - I already had firmware 2.0.5, but I've tried applying the upgrade again too. Do you have any ideas on things to try?

What is the reasoning behind only 2x1Gbps ports?

For a board like this I would expect each node to have a dedicated 10Gbps and either a 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps port for management. 10Gbps is so cheap now and I'm actually moving my home network to 25Gpbs. I was really hoping the v2.5 would improve on this as I would really love to populate several of these boards with Orion NX modules for a Blender render farm. Unfortunately that bandwidth limitation makes this not a feasible solution for that use case. I'm not even sure what use cases 2x1Gbps is logical. <br>

New Compute Module 4S boards in TuringPi 1?

Rasoi released new cm3 compatible Compute Module 4S. I have a yet unused Turing pi 1. Any reasons why the new modules would not work? Would be great if I can use them.

Is the default password really `turing`? SD card upgrade?

Ive been trying: - curl 'http\://turing/api/bmc/authenticate' -X POST -d '{"username":"root", "password":"turing"}' -k - ssh root@turing root@turing's password: Permission denied, please try again. root@turing's password: Permission denied, please try again. It's like my board doesn't have the password from the documentation (<https://docs.turingpi.com/docs/turing-pi2-bmc-ui>)... I flashed an SD card using the Raspberry Pi Imager 1.8.5 while flashing the TP2-Firmware-SDCARD-v2.0.5.img on it, the board doesn't seems to boot nor upgrade. I've changed two settings to have the SSH (<https://imgur.com/a/TnN4ab1>). The only thing that show up (without the SD card in it) is the old BMC user interface. I don't know what i missed in the documentation!

LED GPIOs for Turing Pi V1

Are the LEDs for each slot on Turing Pi 1 boards connected to a GPIO? I was wondering if I could blink them, e.g. to determine which hostname is in which slot. Thanks.

Version 2, 2.5 and 2.5.1

Is there a web site that describes the differences?

TuringPI & RK1 (16gb) - 1st Node up and running w/Ubuntu LTE Desktop

I just got my first TP RK1 up and running - only 'real' issue was HDMI switch on MB (all off for RK1, 1&4 On for RPi). For now is is running Einstein on Bonic while I get the other 3hree nodes up and running - node two burning right now - pain that it take ~2hrs... Only once so not the end of the world!

CM4: Problems with I²C

I have a Turing Pi V2.4 with a CM4 as Node1 and can't get I²C to work. I tried both busses that are exposed via the GPIO header (Pins 3,5 -> i2c-1 aka i2c_arm as well as Pins 27,28 -> i2c-0 aka i2c_vc). I also tried different cables as well as different I²C devices. Sometimes i can get the kernel to successfully initialize a PCA9548A multiplexer but when i then try to talk to devices that are connected to it i only get lots of communication errors. If i put the same CM4 module into a different carrier board everything works as expected. All the devices are successfully initialized and i don't see any communication errors. So basically I'm experiencing the same issues as described here [1]. I'm posting this here because i don't think the problem is with the CM4 itself but rather with the Turing PI2 or the Adapter board. Has anybody had success connecting I²C devices to a CM4 module via the GPIO header? <br> [1] ..<https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=359439>

Any progress on the HDMI issues on RK1 / 2.4 TP2 combo?

I only use 4k monitors now, so im still dead in the water with my RK1s, with no working video out. Any news from the Devs on what the cause is, and when the fix is coming? <br>
