Compile & run blisp on Raspberry Pi 4B

I tried compile and run blisp to update the firmware on my Pinecil. The result is inconsistent.

Firstly, on a freshly installed Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB), I install the latest cmake with snap

$ sudo snap install core
2022-12-17T04:09:45Z INFO Waiting for automatic snapd restart...
core 16-2.57.6 from Canonical✓ installed
 $ sudo snap install cmake --classic
cmake 3.25.1 from Crascit✓ installed

Then, I download the source of blisp and compile it:

$ cmake -DBLISP_BUILD_CLI=ON ..

$ cmake --build .
