USB Issue on Raspberry Pi 4 Running Fedora - Complex Solution

Updated: 7 minutes to read

In the previous post we looked at a very simple solution to fix the USB ports on Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB/8GB RAM models running Fedora, which involves a trade-off between the USB ports' functionality and the amount of RAM available to the operating system. This post will give you another solution that takes more steps but no longer limits available memory to 3 GiB. As said in the previous post, no action is required for the 2GB model. …

When Fedora runs on Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB/8GB RAM models, the USB ports might not be working out-of-box as of Fedora 32 and Linux kernel 5.8.

This post is a continuation of my previous one about setting up a cluster of Raspberry Pis running Fedora. After I got the cluster to compute something, @ColsonXu, the cluster’s owner, asked me if I could monitor the CPU temperature of each Raspberry Pi by running this command: $ /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp The vcgencmd program is included in Raspberry Pi OS (formerly called Raspbian) as a utility for retrieving information about Raspberry Pi’s hardware. …

He had got a few Raspberry Pi 4’s and built a cluster with them for computing purposes, but there was nothing to compute until the morning when @mrdarcychen found an article about running Rosetta@home on Raspberry Pi from Fedora Magazine, and Colson approved the plan. I was able to take the job of installing software required to run Rosetta@home on the Raspberry Pis. …
