Hi, I’m new to the industry, greetings, brought myself a Pironman 5 Rasberry pi 5 8GB back in January, assembled the Pironman 5 with no prior experience, followed the instructions that came with the Pironman 5 & the sunfounder tutorial on YouTube, initial boot was from sd card I then ran sudo apt update/upgrade I then went on to install the Pironman 5 software following the instructions from the sunfounder website after rebooting fans leds & oled screen came into effect, I then used the sd card copier in preferences to copy the sd card to nvme, ran sudo raspi-config advanced options changed the boot order to boot from nvme pcIe speed enabled gen 3 after a reboot Pironman 5 worked fine with no complications. Kind regards.

I enjoyed building my Pironman 5 recently, on March 8, 2025. From opening the box to loading an operating system on a micro SD card it took only 3 hours 40 minutes. I have also built the Zeus Car and the RasPad 3.0. The Pironman booted successfully the first time, and I have it presently configured with a 1 TB M.2 SSD. I have the AI HAT kit for future fun. Putting these amazing kits together takes me way back to childhood, building Archer Kits from Radio Shack. Thanks Sunfounder!
