Software support
In order to get the top panel OLED display and fan working properly, we provide the rockpi-penta package, which can be installed with the following command.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wget
wget https://github.com/radxa/rockpi-penta/releases/download/v0.2.2/rockpi-penta-0.2.2.deb
sudo apt install -y ./rockpi-penta-0.2.2.deb
Software configuration
Notes for latest Raspberry Pi OS (Debian trixie) users
The rockpi-penta package may not install cleanly on a fresh Raspberry Pi OS (Debian trixie / Debian 13) system. Systems that upgrade from Debian 12 to trixie usually install the package without issues, but a fresh trixie install may fail. After installing or running on trixie, you may also encounter the following issues:
- OLED display only shows static message "RADXA SATA HAT Loading..."
- Fan stuck at 100% power
- Service startup error
FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory
Additional fixes may be required. Please refer to the solutions reported by users in GitHub issue #1792 and #1540: https://github.com/HabiRabbu/rockpi-penta-pi5-fix
After installing the package, if you need to modify the configuration, you can edit the configuration file /etc/rockpi-penta.conf, the following is the default value of the configuration file.
[fan]
# When the temperature is above lv0 (35'C), the fan at 25% power,
# and lv1 at 50% power, lv2 at 75% power, and lv3 at 100% power.
# When the temperature is below lv0, the fan is turned off.
# You can change these values if necessary.
lv0 = 35
lv1 = 40
lv2 = 45
lv3 = 50
[key]
# You can customize the function of the key, currently available functions are
# slider: oled display next page
# switch: fan turn on/off switch
# reboot, poweroff
# If you have any good suggestions for key functions,
# please add an issue on https://rock.sh/rockpi-sata
click = slider
twice = switch
press = none
[time]
# twice: maximum time between double clicking (seconds)
# press: long press time (seconds)
twice = 0.7
press = 1.8
[slider]
# Whether the oled auto display next page and the time interval (seconds)
auto = true
time = 10
[oled]
# Whether rotate the text of oled 180 degrees, whether use Fahrenheit
rotate = false
f-temp = false
After modifying the configuration, run the sudo systemctl restart rockpi-penta.service command to restart the service for the configuration to take effect.
