Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)

 
  Enabling PCIe3 interface
  Edit /boot/firmware/config.txt and add the following at the bottom:
 
   pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
 
# Enable the PCIe external connector
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3


  Save and exit. In nano, you do that by hitting CTRL + X, answering Y and hitting Enter when prompted.
   
  Set PSU_MAX_CURRENT=5000 in the EEPROM config to bypass the PD negotiation and assume 5A is available. 
 
   pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo rpi-eeprom-config -e
   
  Add PSU_MAX_CURRENT=5000 at the end of the file that reads like this: 
   
  Save and exit. In nano, you do that by hitting CTRL + X, answering Y and hitting Enter when prompted. 
   
  Reboot the Raspberry Pi
 
   pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo reboot
   
  To view a list of your PCIe devices, use the lspci command in the terminal.
 
   pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo lspci

The XNAS1 is equipped with a 2.5G Ethernet port, a clean installation of OpenMediaVault is necessary. Avoid using a preloaded OpenMediaVault OS MicroSD card used for other boards, as this could result in the system failing to obtain an IP address.

   
  Here is the link to install OMV8 on the XNAS1

How to Install OS on Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 with eMMC Storage

 
  To program the eMMC storage on the Compute Module 5, connect a host PC to the rear USB Type-C port and it will disable eMMC boot automatically. After entering eMMC programming mode and running the "rpiboot" utility, the Compute Module 5 will then appear as a USB device to the "host" PC, allowing it to be programmed. 

For complete instructions and OS-specific guidance, please consult the official Raspberry Pi documentation.
   
   
  CAUTION! If the USB-C cable remains connected after programming, the system will fail to boot.

  How to Format and Mount the HDD/SSD on Raspberry Pi
  Install Gparted on Raspberry Pi
  You can either use a terminal, and simply use the following commands:
              sudo apt update
            sudo apt install gparted
  Or via the graphical tool (“Add/Remove Software”), open the package manager and look for Gparted:
  Check the box corresponding to gparted, and click “Apply” to start the installation.
  Once installed, Gparted should be available in the main menu, under System Tools:
   
  Use Gparted on Raspberry Pi
  When you start Gparted, you need to type your password (administrator privileges are required).
Then, you’ll get an interface looking like:
  Start by picking the disk you want to modify in the top-right corner.
Reminder: It’s not possible to make changes on the disk you are currently using. You have to install Raspberry Pi OS on another device, and then plug the drive you want to edit.

Once done, you can change anything with a right-click on the partition name or in the graphical representation. I will show you how to resize a partition or create a new one.
  Resize a partition

You need to unmount the partition before resizing it.
That’s why you can resize the system partition once the system is loaded.
As Raspberry Pi OS will automatically mount all partitions, the first step is to right-click on it, and choose “Unmount”:




Then, you have access to the Resize/Move option in the menu:



You can either move the cursor on the graphical representation to resize the current partition or type the new size in the form. Then, click on “Resize/Move” to save your changes.
The last step is to click on the green tick to apply the changes on your disk.


Raspberry Pi OS should now automatically mount the partition each time.

Create a new partition

Once the disk is selected, make sure you have some unallocated space available to create a new partition. If not, you need to resize an existing partition first (or just delete one if you don’t need it anymore).

Then, click on the unallocated space, and choose “New” in the dropdown menu.
A form will show up. Make sure to check the values where I added a red arrow:


At least, you need to set the new size (it will use all the space by default), the file system (fat32 for a small partition that you want to read on Windows, ext4 if you’ll only use it on the Raspberry Pi).
You can also choose a label, that will be used in the file explorer.

Once done, click “Add”. You’ll directly see the impact of your changes in the graphic representation.
But you need to click on the green check to apply the changes on the disk.
It may take a few minutes, depending on the partition size and hardware you use.
Once done, you’ll get a success message like this one:



If you want to access the new partition within the file explorer, the easiest way is to unplug the USB jumper and plug it in again. Raspberry Pi OS will automatically mount the new partition:



That’s it, you can now use it and create files in this folder.
