Are the images you post here the same ones that are on the Linuxcnc download pages for the RPi's?
Thank you

I think so but it seems that 2.9.3 may not be on the downloads page.

Yes what is there is 2.9.2.
Downloaded 2.9.3 and it makes a huge difference for me on the Pi 5.
I wasn't getting 1080p on the display and axis was always clipped and wouldn't show me the status area at the bottom of the screen.
Switched to the newer build and I've got 1080p and can see the full screen.
Thanks!

Where do I find a current link to download the 2.9.3 image for Pi 5?
Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm very new to everything Linux related but frustrations with my current machinery has led me down a rabbit hole. Here we are.
I saw people asking for feedback on running the 2.9.2 package on a raspberry pi. I have a Raspberry Pi 4B 8G model that I have attempted to boot the 2.9.2 image to with very little success. I used the XZ file on the downloads page and put it into the Raspberry Pi imager, the board was booted with a small touchscreen plugged into it's display port via ribbon cable. ACT/power lights appeared promising until I got a peculiar message showing up on screen with some skulls. I have attached it here.
After the skull message, power light turns off and the ACT light switches to a faint, consistent flicker while the display continues rotating through solid colors.
It's entirely possible that since this is the second time ever using one of these that I have royally screwed up somewhere. I have also read some negative reviews as far as the compatibility of the 8G model goes so it could have something to do with that. Any and all info you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
[Edit], the XZ file taken off the homepage for version 2.9.2 failed to flash using BalenaEtcher

I have a 4b that is bricked like this.
Try updating the firmware using the Pi Imager. That may work. Otherwise I have no solution

I can guarantee it's not bricked. I loaded the raspberry Pi OS onto it after that with no problem and was able to access it via SSH to download data from the Pi library. I tried 2.93 as well and got a similar result only this time there were some penguins at the top of the screen instead of skulls
Just updated the bootloader and tried again. Got a similar result but now the ACT LED is flashing consistently instead of barely visible.
I'm surprised nobody else is experiencing this. Am I the only 8G user to try these? Do I need to have some additional board attached for it to boot properly?
[Edit, after hearing it might be bricked, I tried the same card on a 4gig Pi4B that I've been using perfectly fine for years with the same result]

All my Pi's are 4GB.
Along with my Rpi5 I also have a RPi400, basically the same as a RPi4 with an slightly upped clock speed. I can say I've never come across this issue (even when rod was polishing his iamge utility).
I don't know if this will actually help, but you could try comparing the config.txt files on the Linuxcnc image & the Rasp OS image and see if there is anything that sticks out. This is just a guess.
It might pay to monitor the 3v3 line when booting, both versions, and see if there is anything untoward. Again just another guess.
But yeah it does seem like a confusing issue.
