I don't intend to readd support for the RPi3 unless this gets a ton of requests, because a) it's an 8 year old board and b) has not been well recommended for NCP for many years (due to its lack of performance).
But if you want to run NCP on a RPi3, you can always install an older image and update from there.

The main reason, why I dropped support for building RPi3 images, is, that as of v1.54.0 all images (including RPi 4&5) are based on Armbian and there is no upstream support for the RPi3

Armbian is still working on RPi 3A+,3B, 3B+.(tested on Feb 13, 2024 Jammy Relase)
3B+ support x64 too.
There is no board config for it available in https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/config/boards
Maybe it's community maintained, but nothing we can easily build off.
Allthough, according to the documentation the rpi4 image is supposed to work on RPi 3 - if it doesn't, there's not much I can do about it, though.
On latest release is missing image for Pi 3 and older. Image for Rasberry pi 4 is kernel paniking my b3+
