24th of November

Despite a couple of days off, the cluster is currently running Einstein BRP4 work on all the compute nodes.


Raspbian updates
Earlier in the week we also got the Raspbian version of the Debian 10.2 point release. That meant I had to update all 24 of them to keep them current.

There was mention of updates to the Rpi eeprom that reduced the power consumption of both the USB controller and the CPU on the Pi4 which also means reduced heat.


Power supply
On the power supply front I spoke with the company that offered me the off-the-shelf model without cables and a case and was told if it was less than 20 units they weren't interested in making it ready to use. I will try a couple more suppliers but don't hold much hope of finding one.
