Info-beamer hosted OS 14 release thread

Released testing 241204-5d6fe1:

  • Added support for Compute Module 5
  • CPU governor now defaults to ‘ondemand’. This allows reducing CPU cycles if it’s not fully used.
  • Allow framebuffer snapshots for 32bit console output during the boot process. Previously only RGB564 was supported.
  • Updated kernel to 6.6.63.
  • Updated EEPROM to 2024-12-12
  • Updated info-beamer:
    • Fixed font rendering crashing for some TTF fonts if glyphs are missing
    • Improved 7" Pi display mirroring to do rotation fully hardware accelerated. See here.
    • Allow mip mapping for content process provided textures. This will soon allow the Web Browser package to provide lower resolution version of its output to info-beamer which can improve animation performance on the Pi3. The cube rotation animation now works with full 60fps even on a Pi3.
