A pi5 will always use bcm2712.Not sure if I should check for "5-model" or "bcm2712". Would the Pi 5 ever NOT be using bcm2712?
I have some software I compile that uses the 3rd party library bcm2835 (for native SPI access) which will not work on the RPi 5 due to the new RP1 southbridge ASIC. I can have my Makefile test for this and not compile in the bcm2835 library (eventually replacing it with spidev in the future).
But bcm2712 could be present on other form factors (e.g. a theoretical Pi500 or CM5).
I'd imagine bcm2712 would usually be what is wanted.
Yes, this scheme also works fine on older pi models.Is /proc/device-tree/compatible the best way to detect 3 or 4 also?
