Raspberry Pi 5 support

Hi @Rajay and @leander01,

Pi5 will probably be some time. The big worry is that in a few weeks Richard will be on paternity leave for a few months. I still don’t really have much time to look into OpenFlexure software right now and am also probably not the best person to be hacking into the nuts and bolts of the software.

Our current phase of work is to try to make sure that more of us understand the software and the roadmap, as we move towards v3 which should support the Pi5.

We now have little diagram which helps me understand how the repos fit together:

Also, it is worth noting that it turns out that the v3 OS that was compiled doesn’t use the v3 branch. It instead uses a branch called blood_stack, which is most of the v3 changes plus a lot of new features taking high quality scans of blood smears which would be needed for malaria diagnosis.

As @leander01 says the Pi OS Customiser is a good place to see what is getting built.
