The current OS allows the Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi to be converted to an access point without using other applications with NetworkManage.
How to turn a Raspi into a Wi-Fi access point using only NetWorkManager
Notice of Year-end and New Year holidays

Image file compression with PiShrink
How to backup using RPI BOOT and dd command
For industrial raspi, the procedure is a bit more complicated, but it is convenient to backup with the dd command and compress with PiShrink to shorten the write time. For general Pi 4 and Pi 5, the dd command is used to backup the entire system as an image file, as in this case. Please refer to the following.
Compute Module 5 is now available!
On Wednesday, November 27, 2024, the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). PiLink has also ordered the CM5 and is testing it on actual devices.With its enhanced CPU performance and functions, the CM5 is expected to expand the range of industrial applications for the Raspberry Pi. Same form factor as CM4 The conventional CM4 (top photo) and CM5 (bottom photo) have the same form factor. When placed side by side, you can see that the size and shape remain the same. In the current model of PiLink’s industrial Raspberry Pi, the PL-R4 CM4 is mounted on the carry board It is also possible to switch…
Innovation Leaders Summit – ILS2024 Pitch Presentation
At ILS2024 held at Toranomon Hills from today, our CEO, Mr. Nogata, gave a presentation on the Industrial Raspberry pi. ILS is one of the largest business matching events in Asia, launched in 2014 under the auspices of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Hundreds of startups with cutting-edge technologies from Japan and abroad gathered to present their products in the field of “ICT / Next-generation communication / IoT / M2M”. We hope that this event will be a good opportunity to connect with companies interested in our products and business models.
Mobile data communication with industrial Raspberry Pi with embedded 4G (LTE)!
IoT can be used outdoors and at sites without Wi-Fi
Have you ever wished you could plug a SIM card directly into your Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi)?On commercially available Raspberry Pi, a 4G (LTE) module can be realized with an extended HAT or with a USB-connected communication modem. On the other hand, did you know that there are Raspberry Pi products specialized for industrial applications that allow SIM cards to be inserted without modification? An industrial Raspberry Pi, housed in a rugged enclosure, can adapt to harsh environments such as factories. If possible, you want to keep both the SIM card and the 4G (LTE) module in it. PiLink offers a model that supports 4G (LTE) communication, so we borrowed…
Booting CM4 from SSD drive! For industrial applications, separate the system area from the data area.
We will show you how to mount an NVMe-connected SSD drive in the industrial Raspi “PL-R4” and treat it as a boot drive.
SPS 2024 – Smart Production Solutions Exhibit
PiLink Co., Ltd. will exhibit at the booth of Marvtech [JingQi (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd.] at SPS 2024 – Smart Production Solutions in Nuremberg.
How Industrial Raspai Increases Robustness with External Watchdog (WD)
When a system fails and freezes (hereafter referred to as “hangs up”), it is necessary to perform a task such as rebooting the system. It may be difficult to physically reset the system at a time when people cannot operate it, at a location where the system is not easily accessible by people, or perhaps due to a shortage of personnel, it may be difficult to find people who can handle the situation. Since the system is stopped, it is also difficult to operate it remotely. This is where the watchdog (WD) mechanism comes in.
JIMTOF2024 The 32nd JAPAN INTERNATIONAL MACHINE TOOL FAIR
