PicoChess v4 DGTPi Lite Image [ 27 Feb 2026 ]

[RandyR]

Hi Everyone,

I have created a Lite image (no Desktop) using the DietPi OS which should run better on the stock DGTPi. It is a bit leaner than RPiOS Trixie. Be sure to read the enclosed Readme.txt file as DietPi configuration is a bit different than on RPiOS. It explains how to set up WiFi among other things.

Let me know if you run into issues.

Acabo de probar la imagen en mi dgtpi casero con raspberri 4b y funciona perfecto, debo configurar mas cosas pero de momento va todo bien.

Vamos a tener que ponernos de acuerdo para no duplicar trabajos. jejeje

We'll have to coordinate so we don't duplicate work. hehehe

No te preocupes Antonio el sistema os de randy es diferente al tuyo, mañana pruebo tu imagen también y te comento mis resultados, ya que estoy desempolvando mis pocos conocimientos de Linux, un saludo

hi Randy i have a question: where is located the  /boot/config.txt to make to run my hifiberry sound card.

thanks you

Hi Orlando,

On a running system it is in /boot/firmware. On the SD card it's in the boot partition. However, you should use the dietpi-config tool to set your sound card. Log in as root (or type 'sudo su'). Then:

dietpi-config

Select Audio Options

Select Sound Card

Then scroll down and select your hifiberry card.

If you look at the config.sys file it will look a bit different than the RPiOS one. Try the dietpi-config method first.

Hi randy the audio works perfect now, i have another question, in the 3.3 versión iade overclock to the raspberry add some lines in the boot/config.txt, in this os how can i made a overclock to the raspberry?

[Randy Reade]

You should first comment out the PicoChess lines at the bottom of config.txt. Then (re)boot and again use dietpi-config and there should be a Performance option. I haven't looked at it myself so not sure what options it has. If you don't see what you need, edit config.txt manually.
