- 2 × USB 2.0 ports
- Gigabit Ethernet, with PoE+ support (requires separate PoE+ HAT)
- 2 × 4-lane MIPI camera/display transceivers
- PCIe 2.0 x1 interface for fast peripherals (requires separate M.2 HAT or other adapter)
- 5V/5A DC power via USB-C, with Power Delivery support
- Raspberry Pi standard 40-pin header
- Real-time clock (RTC), powered from external battery
- Power button
Similarly to the change from Pi3 → Pi4 there’s probably a ton of internal differences that will not make it possible to run info-beamer OS out of the box:
- There doesn’t seem to be a H264 hardware decoder any more, so the existing method of decoding that will have to be completely rewritten and probably unified with how HEVC/H265 now works.
- HDR seems interesting. Not sure yet how all that will work
- Lots of other unknowns
There is no release date for anything yet. Any news will be posted here.
