DietPi 9.1 Expands Support for Raspberry Pi 5
DietPi, a lightweight and versatile Linux operating system based on Debian’s stable branch, designed for single-board computers (SBCs), has just unveiled its latest iteration, DietPi 9.1, based on the latest stable Debian 12.5 release. Here’s what’s new!
The highlight of this release is the introduction of new images for Raspberry Pi 5, alongside updates for other Raspberry Pi models. These images are now available for enthusiasts to test based on the fresh Bookworm’s Linux kernel 6.1 LTS and firmware package from Raspberry Pi Ltd.
However, it’s worth noting that certain features, such as screen resolution adjustments and camera module support, are still under development.

DietPi Version 9.1: Now With Raspberry Pi 5 Support And More
DietPi recently released version 9.1, which among other changes includes new images for the Raspberry Pi 5, Radxa Rock 4 SE and NanoPi R5S/R5C & 6. The Radxa Rock 4 SE image was necessary because the Rock 4’s RK3399 SoC is subtly different from the RK3399-T’s SoC in terms of memory support, which prevents a Rock 4 image from booting on the Rock 4 SE. Meanwhile the Raspberry Pi 5 image is all new and still a bit rough around the edges, with features like the changing of the resolution and camera module support not working yet. These new images are all available for testing.
