I can't seem to find any good forum to address issues with the CarPiHat Pro powering aPi5. Every boot up I get Pi warning stating "The power supply is not capable of providing 5 amps....". I have a Pi5 with 4gig ram, a Seeed underhat for the boot PCIe memory, a geeek heat sink/fan and the Car Pi Hat Pro. I have disabled Pi5 based BT and WiFi and am using separate modules on a powered hub to reduce on Pi drain and have better reception outside the double DIN cage it will all be installed in.
Summary of parts: Raspberry Pi 5 - 4GB, Raspberry Pi SSD - 256GB, Seeed PCIe 3.0 Dual M.2 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5, CarPiHAT PRO 5 - Car Interface + DAC for Raspberry Pi 5.
Any ideas?
Pi5 always gives low current warning on boot up.

It is probably related to https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... berry-pi-5
It looks like the official Raspberry Pi 27W power supply has some mechanisms that allow the Raspberry Pi 5 to detect it.
Setting usb_max_current_enable=1 in /boot/firmware/config.txt should allow you to get rid of this warning.

Re: Pi5 always gives low current warning on boot up.
Found a real fix for this on youtube. Solution requires writing PSU_MAX_CURRENT=5000 to the Pis eeprom. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEZccWuOXuo. About 6:50 in.
Before doing this it might be wise to check your applied voltage by "vcgencmd pmic_read_adc EXT5V-V"
Neither of these are my idea. Thanx Interweb thingy.
