Please Provide Support for Rasperry PI 5 Device #123

Looks like the upstream buildroot still does not have RPi 5 support. We can try to add support, I believe there have been some proposed patches as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have a RPi 5 yet to experiment on. Need to wait for someone to add support upstream first.

Seems like the the buildroot recently added support for RPi5, but that is still not part of any stable release. I believe it should be part of the 2024.08 release when that is available. Also, I don't currently own a RPi 5, so someone else needs to test the setup once we actually bump the buildroot submodule.

Another thing to consider would be the power requirements of a RPi 5 and would it be able to work well on usb power from the car.

I can help test pi5. Should I install the pi4 image on pi5?

(pi5 is over kill for this application, why not use a pi 0. Also I doubt my cars head unit can deliver 5v @ 5A)

Pi 4 image most likely won't work on Pi 5. To build for Pi 5, we'd essentially need appropriate defconfig file, something similar to raspberrypi4_defconfig.

Upstream buildroot contains one right now. See raspberrypi5_defconfig. Having a defconfig will help build for the board. Next would be to test and see if we need any more customisations for it to work.
