Add support for Raspberry Pi 5 #166

Closed mtoman closed 8 months ago

mtoman commented 9 months ago

This PR does a few things:

Updates the base image to Debian 12
Uses patched chromium, X and mesa from the raspios repo because (unlike Debian 11) the upstream Debian 12 versions do not work with all the Raspberry Pi models
Injects an explicit X config for the Raspberry Pi 5 because X won't start without it

Tested on Pi3 (32 & 64 bit), Pi4, Pi5, x86. It now also works on the Zero2W and Pi3A but in practice only for displaying static websites, the lack of memory causes significant performance issues.
