Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.12 adds io_uring sequential writes and network installer fixes
Key Takeaway
The new release introduces io_uring for sequential writes on Linux and improves network installer reliability for slow-negotiating hardware.
Summary
Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.12 has been released, bringing performance and reliability improvements. On Linux, the tool now utilizes io_uring for sequential writes, and the network installer has been updated to wait for a usable IP address rather than just a link-up status.
Improvements in Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.12
- Implements io_uring for sequential writes on Linux systems.
- The network installer now waits for a usable IP address instead of just a link-up signal.
- This fix addresses issues with slow-negotiating PHYs, such as the MXL86110 found in the Raspberry Pi 5 Rev 1.2, which could be missed during the initial poll.
