Is it possible to upgrade the original Zynthian V4 with a Raspberry Pi 5?

Hi @dawless - yes, it is, but it involves surgery on the PC Board and the case.
see:
edit - oops - nevermind, I see you were asking about V4. I am not aware of anyone that has done that.
Hi, Thanx.
I didn’t mean the Zynthian V5, but the original Zynthian V4.

With V4, there is not an easy way of solving the Pi5’s heat dissipation problem.
Indeed, i didn’t even try it. You may have to invent something by yourself
Of course, some surgery in the case is also mandatory.

Hi !
Except adding a fan a remake a box, every others composants should work directly?
Yes, in theory. I didn’t test.
There is a zynthian-pwm-fan software component that manages a fan in a very elegant way.
Needs a Raspberry Pi GPIO pin, and a little bit of external electronics ( A resistor, a transistor and a diode) and a connection to the +5V pin and Ground.
what a beautiful case
I need one !
Just linking the thread where this has been done, could not find it anymore using search, may help others.
