[Solved / Archived] Witty 4 Mini - Raspberry Pi 5

It is possible to let Witty Pi support Raspberry Pi 5 by using pinctl to replace raspi-gpio in gpio-utils.sh. However the priority for this is rather low at the moment.

Given the issues we are now seeing with bookworm is there a plan to do this work? I notice that you released a totally new product, does this mean that the witty pi line of products is being retired?

@msage we will continue maintaining the products we have, and we may also develop new products for Raspberry Pi.

We have rather low priority to let Witty Pi support RPi5, because not so many RPi5 users need Witty Pi. Most of RPi5 users are using it like a desktop computer, and RPi5 has power button too, so...

As for issue that can be reproduced on RPi4, we resolve it actively.

We have upgraded the software to version 4.2 and use the wiringPi again. Now Witty Pi 4 can work with Raspberry Pi 5.

I just wanted to check. Will the Witty 4 Mini work with a Pi5 on new firmware or is it just the Witty 4 ?

I think I've answered my question. It looks like a software update on utilities.sh that includes the changes required so not firmware. If you could confirm that would be great.

@peter-3707 Indeed only software update was needed for supporting Raspberry Pi 5. Now with the latest software all Witty Pi 4 models can work with Raspberry Pi 5.
