My first concern is powering PI 5 through the GPIO - I found many threads dealing with this problem, but none of those were helpful. I got it working somehow and even managed to get rid of the annoying warning, but it feels like I'm pushing it. My power supply can handle currents well above 5A and the motors have its own power supply, so no brownouts. What is the correct way to power the PI 5 using a custom power supply?
Applying power to the appropriate pins, and setting the relevant option in the config file is the correct thing to do. Is your PSU taking too long to get the voltage up above 4.1v? That can apparently be a problem. (viewtopic.php?t=364720&hilit=gpio+power ... 0#p2194201)
Second is the need to push the power button. I'm booting from a standard class 10 SD card with the latest 64bit bookworm. Is there any way to bypass the power button and make the PI boot automatically when the power is on?
Having a PSU that provides the power properly and that config file option is the solution.
