Often a boot menu can be accessed by pressing a particular key when you power-on, which may be F12, F11, F10 or Esc. And if you can bring up such a menu, you can simply select the USB drive. Alternatively, you can enter the BIOS/UEFI, again by pressing an appropriate key, which is commonly F2, Delete or Esc. Once in the BIOS you can hopefully find a setting that will change the boot order to have USB first, so that your computer will always first try to boot from an inserted USB drive. However, to work, this may also require you to disable a feature called “Secure Boot”, which you may then have turn on again to allow Windows to boot on your PC (it depends on the version). However, once in the BIOS, there is often an “Exit” or similar menu (usually on the end on the right) that offers a “boot override” facility. And this allows you to select to boot from a USB drive without having to make any BIOS changes. So here you would select your inserted USB drive, and your computer would then happily boot from it. Sadly, UEFI/BIOS settings and USB boot configurations are just not standardized, so I cannot give you a definitive set of instructions here!

Raspberry Pi 5 tests, including video editing in Kdenlive, an HD video call in Microsoft Teams, and passive cooling experiments. Note that this video was edited on a Raspberry Pi 5. :) Thanks to Kevin McAleer for his assistance with the Teams call. You can visit Kevin’s channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@kevinmcaleer28 My initial Raspberry Pi 5 review and demo video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hYfQ7bRgZg Kevin’s Pi interview with Eben Upton is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXYzJ1os4NA And Kevin’s Pi 5 interview with myself is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysNTEy1lUKo KDENLIVE EDIT & RENDER TIME This video was edited in Kdenlive on a Raspberry Pi 5, which took 22 minutes and 13 seconds to render the final 20 minute 8 second output. This was far less time than I anticipated for two reasons. Firstly, my earlier test (which we saw in the video) had transitions as a far higher proportion of its total running time, and transitions take much longer to output. Secondly, Kdenlive seems to pause to do something at the start of a render, and the longer the video to be output, the shorter a proportion of the final render time this is. And so my initial estimate of just under an hour for rendering this video was way off. In case you are wondering, I did repeat my initial “standard” Kdenlive render test on the Pi 5 many times, and with lots of different settings -- and it always came out at 2 minutes 8 seconds, give or take a second. In the final edit, note that my opening and closing shots to camera were composited in Adobe After Effects on an i7 PC as they always are, and then put into Kdenlive on the Pi 5. The timelapse segments (eg in the cooling tests) were edited as distinct sub-edits, again as is my standard practice, but here in Kdenlive on the Pi 5. KDENLIVE DESKTOP SHORTCUT The icon I added to the desktop to launch Kdenlive using XWayland (so that it will work with the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS), was a link to a Bash script that contained the following two lines: #!/bin/bash QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb kdenlive The above script was created in Geany, and saved in the “Desktop” folder. Then, in the properties for the shortcut on the desktop (opened via a right click), it was set to “Open with Terminal”. You can call the Bash script anything you like. But I called it Kdenlive XWayland.

I would advise doing this as follows: Press “Del” on the Gigabyte splash screen on boot to enter the BIOS. If it says “Easy Mode” at the top of the screen, press F2 to enter “Advanced Mode”. Go to “Settings” (top menu, third across) and click on “IO Ports”. Click on “APP Center Download and Install Configuration”. Double click the “APP Center Download and Install Configuration” orange bar, and set to “Disabled”. Click on “Save & Exit” (top menu, on the right) and then “Save & Exit” and select “Yes”. Sorted. The firmware updater with a potential security risk is now disabled. === For additional ExplainingComputers videos and other content, you can become a channel member here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbiGcwDWZjz05njNPrJU7jA/join More videos on computing and related topics can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/@explainingcomputers You may also like my ExplainingTheFuture channel at: http://www.youtube.com/@explainingthefuture Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:53 Selecting Components 05:08 Motherboard Specification 10:36 Fitting the APU & Cooler 14:37 Fitting the RAM & SSD 17:20 A Metal Skin (installing in the case!) 21:47 5600G in Action (some tests) 24:37 Things to Come #Ryzen #PCbuild #Ryzen5 #explainingcomputers

PicoMiteVGA boot-to-BASIC computer built from a Raspberry Pi Pico using the circuit designs and code available on Geoff Graham’s website here: https://geoffg.net/picomitevga.html The PicoMiteVGA was created by Peter Mather, Geoff Graham and Mick Ames, also building on work by Miroslav Nemecek, as detailed on the aforementioned page. My previous video about the PicoMite, where we look in more detail at MMBasic and GPIO control, is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxmjy1nz6MM The Siliconchip PicoMiteVGA kit that I could not order in the UK, but which looks excellent, is here: https://www.siliconchip.com.au/Shop/20/6417 If you wish to build a PicoMiteVGA, everything you require is available at https://geoffg.net/picomitevga.html However, I have shared the STL files for the solderable breadboard brackets I created here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5754090 And my breadboard layout is here: https://www.explainingcomputers.com/images/picomite_breadboard.jpg For information, the parts I ordered from Pimoroni and CPC Farnell were as listed below.

This is a bypass capacitor for the SD card wiring, and as explained in the video, in the end I did not need to fit it. But you may need to add one of these capacitors for stable SD card operation: https://cpc.farnell.com/multicomp/mcrr50104x7rk0050/capacitor-100nf-50v/dp/CA06296 15-pin D-Sub (VGA) socket: https://cpc.farnell.com/itw-mcmurdo/hde15st/socket-d-high-density-15way/dp/CN15323 Mini DIN 6-pin (PS/2) socket: https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg01567/socket-mini-din-chassis-6p/dp/AV15025 Large perfboard (solderable breadboard): https://cpc.farnell.com/sparkfun-electronics/prt-12699/sparkfun-solderable-breadboard/dp/PC02086 Reset switch -- the one I had in stock was very similar to this: https://cpc.farnell.com/multicomp/r13-24a-05-br/switch-spst-3a-125v-solder/dp/SW05765 I also has in stock the required resistors, namely: 220Ω resistors (red, red, brown, gold), 0.25W or higher -- seven required. 10KΩ resistors (brown, black, orange, gold), 0.25W or higher -- four required. Buying resistors like this individually is hard! These are the cheapest packs of these values I could find on CPC Farnell: 220Ω - https://cpc.farnell.com/unbranded/mcf-0-25w-220r/resistor-0-25w-5-220r-pk-100/dp/RE03795 and 10KΩ - https://cpc.farnell.com/unbranded/mcf-0-25w-10k/resistor-0-25w-5-10k-pk-100/dp/RE03815 Also used were eight M3 nuts and bolts, about 12mm long, and some wires.

THE PICO’S IP ADDRESS As we saw in the video, the local IP address allocated to the Pico W may change, depending on other devices connected to and active on the local area network. To prevent this from happening you can provide the Pico W with a fixed IP address in your router’s control panel. You can also scan to see what IP address has been allocated to the Pico using a free tool such as Angry IP Scanner -- https://angryip.org/ -- I personally use the legacy edition that does not require installation. RE-SETTING THE PICO If during your experimentation you end up with a Pi Pico W that executes a program that you cannot interrupt by pressing Ctrl-C or Ctrl-F2 in Thonny, you can return the board to its factory state by holding down the boot select switch, connecting to a PC, and copying over a special UF2 file to reset the flash. You can find a link to this UF2 file at the bottom of this page under “Resetting Flash Memory”: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/raspberry-pi-pico.html Note that after execution you will have to reinstall MicroPython. All programs will also be erased. Hence, during program development, it is wise to save your programs on the PC, and of course to keep backups. :) For additional ExplainingComputers videos and other content, you can become a channel member here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbiGcwDWZjz05njNPrJU7jA/join More videos on computing and related topics can be found at http://www.youtube.com/explainingcomputers You may also like my ExplainingTheFuture channel at: http://www.youtube.com/explainingthefuture Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:37 Hardware 01:40 WiFi Interface 06:15 Zumo & L298N 10:19 Motor Code & Test 13:56 Final Robot 17:01 Wrap #PicoW #RaspberryPi #Robot #ExplainingComputers

USB connectors and specifications tutorial, including USB 1.1, USB 2.0, USB 3.2, USB4 Version 1.0, and USB4 Version 2.0. Video also covers USB DP (DisplayPort), USB PD (power delivery), as well as the USB Type-A, Type-B, Mini-B, Micro-B, USB-C and nine other connectors. :) Information for this video was primarily sourced from specifications included in the Document Library made available by the USB Implementers Forum at: https://www.usb.org/ Inevitably, as always, I’ve had to decide what to leave out, as well as what to include. Given the number of USB specifications and revisions that exist -- for example, there have now been 17 just for power delivery -- the only sure way to check anything for certain is to look at the instruction manual or online specification for your particular device. This said, right now, if you need the highest specification, go for a device with USB4 ports, and purchase USB power cables that support 100W -- or 240W if you can get hold of them. :) If you enjoy this video, you may like my episodes: Explaining SSDs: Form Factors, Interfaces & Technologies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXLfErPEYiw Explaining PCIe Slots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrXwe21biJo Explaining File Systems (NTFS, exFAT, FAT32 & more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h30HBYxtws Explaining SD Cards (2020 Update): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLQ8A_vcBqU For additional ExplainingComputers videos and other content, you can become a channel member here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbiGcwDWZjz05njNPrJU7jA/join More videos on computing and related topics can be found at http://www.youtube.com/explainingcomputers You may also like my ExplainingTheFuture channel at: http://www.youtube.com/explainingthefuture Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:09 Connectors & Specifications 01:48 USB Chronology (inc USB 1.1 & USB 2.0) 04:32 USB OTG 05:25 USB 3.0 07:38 USB Confusion (USB 3.1 & 3.2) 10:00 USB DP (DisplayPort) 10:23 USB4 11:41 USB PD (power delivery) 13:37 Wrap #USB4 #USB-C #USB3.2 #ExplainingComputers

Firstly are what we may call “standard” image files -- specifically img or compressed img files -- that can can be written to a microSD card using Etcher, or the dd command in Linux, and which are therefore sometimes referred to “Linux images”. Secondly, there are images that have to be written to a microSD card using an AllWinner utility called Phoenix card, which is often used to re-image Android devices. These images are sometimes called “Windows images”, as Phoenix card is only available for Windows.

Upgrading a desktop PC by adding USB 3.0 ports. This is the third episode in the series which began in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o-p5Wq6MoQ The PCIe USB 3.0 card I fit is this one from Amazon.co.uk: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074TGDN46/ref=nosim?tag=explainin-21 (affiliate link). However, I would shop around to find the cheapest card with the number of USB 3.0 ports you require, as well as a power connector and an internal USB 3.0 header if you want to connect up USB ports on your case. Paying more for a USB 3.1 or 3.2 card is a waste of money when upgrading an old PC, for the reasons demonstrated in the performance tests in the video.

Raspberry Pi 4 8GB and Raspberry Pi OS overview and demo, plus booting a Pi 4 from USB via a beta firmware update. These really are exciting times for the wonderful world of Pi! :) If you enjoy this video, you may also like my other Pi 4 episodes, including: Raspberry Pi 4 Passive Cooling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJC6OpGpq0Y Raspberry Pi 4 Week: Desktop PC Replacement?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3ddj9_LMgU If you are wondering, you can find the Pimoroni Fan SHIM here: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/fan-shim NOTE ON INSTALLING BETA USB BOOT FIRMWARE In this video I show how I configured three Raspberry Pi 4s to boot from USB. Please note that these instructions are provided in good faith, but that you install any beta firmware at your own risk. There is also no guarantee that what is shown in the video will work on your Pi 4 with your particular USB drives or USB SATA adapters. It is called beta firmware for a reason! Fairly soon the official Pi 4 USB boot firmware will be available, and waiting for this release is a safer option. If you are familiar with the Raspberry Pi YouTube and wider community, you may notice that the process I use to install the beta firmware involves fewer steps than included in many other guides. In part this is because I flashed the June 6th 2020 firmware (pieeprom-2020-06-03.bin), and not the initial May 15th file (pieeprom-2020-05-15.bin) used in many other videos and tutorials. The latter required fixes to be made to a Raspberry Pi OS installation. But at the time of writing (June 9th 2020), the June 6th firmware did not. Some other tutorials also execute unnecessary commands, as well as editing the rpi-eeprom-update file located in the Pi’s /etc/default/ directory. Specifically they change the environment variable “FIRMWARE_RELEASE_STATUS” in this file from “critical” to “beta”. As far as I am aware, this variable tells the Pi which category of firmware update to automatically install. However, it is also my understanding, as well as my practical experience, that this environment variable is ignored by the rpi-eeprom-update utility if you do a manual install with a -f flag included, followed by the location and name of a specific firmware file. Indeed, the -h help information for the rpi-eeprom-update utility states that the -f option installs “the given file instead of the latest applicable update”. If you have changed “FIRMWARE_RELEASE_STATUS” from “critical” to “beta”, then your Pi will in the future automatically pick up beta firmware updates, which may not be what you want it to do! So if you have followed another guide and edited this file, my strong suggestion is to change “beta” back to “critical”. Of course, I may be wrong about all of this. But this is the best information I can provide.

Raspberry Pi 4 OMV NAS tutorial, including hardware selection, software installation and configuration. This video explains all you need to know to start using a Pi 4 -- or any other Raspberry Pi -- for sharing files across a local area network (LAN) using OpenMediaVault. PLEASE NOTE THAT on December 9th 2019, OpenMediaVault removed (depreciated) the image files for directly installing OMV on a Raspberry Pi 4b or other SBC, with the installation process now involving the installation of Armbian, and then OMV installation via a terminal. This means that the install method shown in this video sadly no longer works. Sorry. :( You can download a pdf explaining the new method from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmediavault/files/ by clicking on the links for OMV 4 or 5 for SBCs. I will update this video description and related pinned comment if the situation changes and the direct installation files become available again.

Do note that you want the Pi 4B top, not the Pi 1B 2B 3B top. :) To put everything together, you will need 4 x M2 25mm bolts an 4x M2 nuts to fix the Pi in the mount (or 20mm bolts if you just use the top portion), as well as 4 x M3 15mm (or longer) bolts and 4 x M3 nuts to position the fan (well, you could get away with just two nuts and bolts). To power a Noctua fan, you will also need to wire up two jumper leads to plug into the Pi. I personally often buy a pack like this: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/jumper-jerky?variant=304797129 and then cut them up as required in different projects.

Ideally allocate 2GB or more of memory, and create a dynamic virtual hard disk of 4GB or more in size (I used a 6GB virtual drive in the video). Note that before you start you will need to unzip the Haiku download file to extract the ISO needed to set up your VirtualBox install. Note also that there are no Guest Additions for Haiku, which will limit your choice of screen resolutions.

Blackmagic Design Video Assist 4K and Atomos Nijna Blade HDMI recorder overview. These devices record the output of a camera or computer via HDMI, and are heavily used in the production of ExplainingComputers content. So, as many of you ask have asked how I record a computer on this channel, I thought I’d make a video about them, as well as various other HDMI accessories that I regularly use. Links to equipment shown in the video (updated 22 March 2020): You can find the Blackmagic Design Video Assist 4K on Amazon.com at: https://amzn.to/2UtSTCk You can also find out information on this and other similar HDMI/SDI recorders on the Blackmagic Design website at: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicvideoassist Or on Amazon.co.uk at: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01EKJ944Y/ref=nosim?tag=explainin-21 The Atomos Ninja Blade is an older device and no longer widely available. But you can find information on all of the current Atomos HDMI and SDI recorders here: https://www.atomos.com/ HDMI splitters like the one I show in the video are manufactured by many companies.

ReactOS is a free, open source operating system for natively running Windows applications. Here I install alpha build v.0.4.7 in a virtual machine and test it out, including running a version of PhotoShop. The ReactOS website is at: https://www.reactos.org/ -- which includes an IRC help forum here: https://www.reactos.org/irc You can learn more about setting up VirtualBox virtual machines in my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyi-NuqiLr0 RUNNING REACTOS FULL SCREEN IN VIRTUALBOX: To get ReactOS running full-screen in VirtualBox, once you have installed the OS you need to adjust video memory and install Guest Additions. To do this, with ReactOS not running, in VirtualBox select the ReactOS virtual machine, and then click on “Settings” and “Display” and drag the video memory slider across to 128MB (you may get away with less, but for me 128MB worked). Then launch ReactOS, and in the VirtualBox “Devices” menu, select “Insert Guest Additions CD Image”. Next, in ReactOS, open MyComputer and then the “VBOXADDITIONS” virtual CD drive (probably d:), and double-click the file “VBoxWindowsAdditons.exe”. Follow through with this process, including the involved reboot of ReactOS, and you should find that you can enter full screen (using Right-Ctrl and “F”, unless you have remapped the host key). You will need to cross your fingers and maybe start again and repeat the process to get things working. ReactOS is in alpha, and it took me some time to get this working OK – which is why in the video I referred you to instructions here! Or you can simply test ReactOS in 800x600. :) More videos on computing-related topics can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/explainingcomputers And you may enjoy my recent book “Digital Genesis: The Future of Computing, Robots and AI”: http://amzn.to/2C2WrA6 I also have another YouTube channel called ExplainingTheFuture at: http://www.youtube.com/explainingthefuture

Part One of the construction of a Mini-ITX desktop PC using a 4th generation "Haswell" Core i3 processor. Included is an overview of all components, as well as the installation of the CPU, Noctua cooler and RAM. The second part of the build can be found here: http://youtu.be/I3UbOEuUov4 The components used in this build (and alternatives) are as follows: Case: Thermaltake Element Q. CPU: Intel Core i3 4330T (3.0GHz, dual core, 35W TDP, HD4600 graphics. This is a tray processor with no cooler included). Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i. Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI. Memory: Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3 1600MHz CL9 2 x 2GB. Boot drive: Samsung 840 Series Pro 128GB. Sound card (if required): Creative Blaster Audigy Fx 5.1 PCIe. Optical drive: any SATA DVD or BluRay drive! :) Many other Mini-ITX cases could be used -- eg the CiT Mini ITX Case with 300W PSU -- though note that most very small Mini-ITX cases will not support an socket 1150 (Haswell i3, i5 or i7) CPU. A cheaper but close alternative CPU would be the i3 4130T (2.9GHz, 35W TDP with Intel 4400 graphics), which comes as a boxed processor with a low-profile cooler included. A cheaper but very close alternative motherboard would be the Gigabyte H87N-WIFI. Any SSD or 2.5 inch hard drive could be used for the boot drive. Any DDR3 1600MHz DIMMS could be used for memory. The sound card is only needed if you plan to run an application -- like Dragon NaturallySpeaking -- that has known problems with internal audio.
