[BLU/Officers] RPI and BLU on the Jam map for the RPi Foundation!

[Brian DeLacey]

I'm not expert at this - and welcome updates from anyone else. Maybe
someone will tackle the VID  and PID at August meeting.

>From what I understand at this point:

"The RPi4 doesn't have sata."
"USB 3.0 to M.2 adaptor should do it. The Pi does not have native M.2
interface."

But the RPi4 does have USB-3 (results -

Basically, the best option with RPi4 is you get USB-3 and connect to ssd
from there, like this:

In comparison, with RPI3 you could do SSD like this:

Generally, it seems people view this new board as a "Revolutionary Change"

At the August meeting, I can plug in a USB3 drive and we can run some test
cases ...
