Missing build instructions for Raspberry Pi 5 (or platform broken?)

The Release Notes for 14.5 LTS state

  • Support for Raspberry Pi 5. EVE now supports the Raspberry 5 platform. Note: EVE can only be installed on the SD card. This limitation is due to an upstream uboot limitation.

However, I have not found any specific instructions for building this image and the more generic instructions produces an image doesn't fully boot:

  • When HDMI connected, the UBoot logo displays in the top right corner but screen never changes
  • When Ethernet hooked to another device, I never get a signal (port never enabled)

I've tried

docker run --rm --platform linux/arm64 -v $(pwd)/eve-overrides:/in lfedge/eve:14.5.1-lts-arm64 live

and also

make ZARCH=arm64 HV=kvm live-raw

But both images behave the same. My overrides just contains address for local eden. I've tried the 14.5.1-lts tag and also today's master branch

@daniel-santos , would you mind to share the revision of your RPi5 board?

You can get it with dmidecode (feel free to share full output of dmidecode if you can). In my case I have EVE running successfully in a RPi5 of the following revision:

$ dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name
Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0
