  • Joel0 created a TrueNAS fork for Arm, tested on Raspberry Pi.
  • Raspberry Pi lacks UEFI support, requiring a community project (rpi5-uefi) for booting TrueNAS.
  • Steps to enable UEFI on Pi 5 include updating EEPROM and configuring boot settings.
  • TrueNAS installation on Pi involves writing an Arm-compatible ISO to USB and following the installer.
  • Current limitations include missing RP1 support, affecting fan control, Ethernet, and GPIO.
  • Future improvements depend on upstream Linux kernel support for RP1.
  • Alternative hardware like RK3588 boards or Ampere servers may offer better TrueNAS compatibility.
