Pi 5 Support?

[TheOldPresbyope]

It's not necessarily a matter of need but more a dynamic of the Raspberry Pi ecosystem. The hardware and software just keeps getting better at every major release and most people will naturally want that.

Somehow we manage to keep up :-)

Exactly. Anyone buying a Pi today to play around with and use for various things in the future is buying a Pi 5.  I suspect that moOde will just work out of the box on the Pi 5 so if the build system allows it you could do worse that just spit out a beta so I and others can check it out while you wait for your Pi 5 to arrive.

This is a good resource for finding Pis:

I think you have the cart before the horse. Tim and I and others already have at least one Pi 5 each. 

The sticking point is that the Pi 5 won’t boot the bullseye release of RaspiOS and there are other changes lurking in the bookworm release besides accommodation of the Pi 5. These require work beyond simply pushing the “build” button. It’s under way but not ready for beta time let alone prime time.

Ps - I got an email message just yesterday that my second Pi 5 has been shipped finally.
