pigpio probably won't work on Pi5 (or later Pi's)

Without specifications we can never know. Please link any documentation as it becomes available: BCM2712, RP1, other?

This is very sad. But that draft is improving so maybe all is not lost.

So i'm assuming this is a no go on the RPI5?

Trying to launch pigpiod with

sudo pigpiod

I get

sudo systemctl status pigpiod

Correct.
