Allow Hedgehog build for Raspberry Pi 5

Closed this issue · 6 comments

Currently the hedgehog for raspberry pi build only supports pi 4. We should look to see if a pi 5 build has any issues, I doubt there would be.

I tried using the pi 4 image on a pi 5, initially it showed bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dtb. hence when I added the file to boot partition the screen goes blank with Constant ACT light. can I use the sensor_install.sh to install things on a pi os ?

I don't think you'll be able to use the sensor_install.sh directly to install on an existing Pi OS installation, no, but you could use it as a basis for figuring out the commands yourself.

I'm not sure yet this is possible:

See the FAQ on the debian wiki:

When will there be support for the RPi5?

We need mainline Linux to be able to boot on a device before trying to support it in Debian. The Raspberry 5 family boots with a kernel that has many components not yet in mainline. We cannot plan for including RPi5 support at least until regular, upstream, mainline Linux kernels are able to boot on it.

This was written a while ago, though, so I'll investigate.

See also this thread as of 5 Mar 2024, and this thread from 2023.

From everything I can tell this is not yet possible due to the missing upstream Kernel support.
