Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm Released

After updating the kernel via rpi_update, rotation=90 stopped working no matter where I set it, so I went back to adding the parameter "fbcon=rotate:1" to the end of cmdline.txt

Don't use rpi-update unless you want to test things - it shouldn't be used for normal updates. Normal kernel updates are automatically performed if you're upgrading via apt (apt update && apt full-upgrade).

@mitu You're right, it's just my habit, I always want to update everything to the latest version, no matter what it is. And this time it created another problem, you need to rotate cmd, ES and retroarch separately.

And doesn't this mean that the "rotation=" parameter may disappear in new versions?

rpi-update is NOT an update tool

And doesn't this mean that the "rotation=" parameter may disappear in new versions?

Wait until the next stable kernel version comes along and check to see if the parameter is still not working. If that's the case, check the documentation for the overlay you're using - it could have been renamed. If the parameter is valid, but not working, then open a topic in the Raspberry Pi forums and provide the configuration you're trying and it's not working.

Hi. I've just installed core packages on arm64 version of Pi OS. All went good but for some reason the script downgraded SDL2 package and put it on hold:

libsdl2-2.0-0:
  Installed: 2.26.3+1rpi
  Candidate: 2.26.5+dfsg-1
  Version table:
     2.26.5+dfsg-1 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main arm64 Packages
 *** 2.26.3+1rpi 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Is the version in bookworm not suitable for use in retropie? I noticed that it's linked a bit differently:

Version: 2.26.5+dfsg-1
Depends: libasound2 (>= 1.0.27), libc6 (>= 2.34), libdecor-0-0 (>= 0.1.0), libdrm2 (>= 2.4.47), libgbm1 (>= 8.1~0), libpulse0 (>= 0.99.1), libsamplerate0 (>= 0.1.7), libwayland-client0 (>= 1.20.0), libwayland-cursor0 (>= 1.18), libwayland-egl1 (>= 1.18), libx11-6 (>= 2:1.2.99.901), libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxext6, libxfixes3 (>= 1:5.0), libxi6 (>= 2:1.6.99.1), libxkbcommon0 (>= 0.5.0), libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.99.3), libxss1

On a Pi (and a few other SBC platforms) RetroPie has always compiled its own version of SDL and set the package(s) on hold to prevent overwriting.

@mitu Ok that is fine but I wanted to know what's the reason for it and whether it's still valid.

The reason is we have a few SDL patches specific to RetroPie which we maintain, so we have a separate SDL package. And yes, it's still valid. We update the version of our patches along with SDL, so at some point it's not going to be an isssue when the SDL version will be bumped in our package.

rhino

@mitu This is very interesting can you please elaborate what exactly is being patched in retropie version? The version number is not a problem but the fact that it's linked so differently (possibly patches themselves) is likely to cause problems with system software. E.g. mpv and VLC are no longer capable to play movies in the console with the replaced lib. Is there a solution to this?

I don't think that's an issue caused by SDL. You can find the patches included in RetroPie's SDL in the Github repository here.

@mitu Ups sorry turns out it was just me messing up my system. Both players continue to work without problems.

Ok so just a handful of commits at the top?
