Hi,

I did some testing and tried with the configuration below as mentioned in the corresponding section in [GitHub - xoseperez/basicstation-docker: Basics™ Station Packet Forward protocol using Docker](https://github.com/xoseperez/basicstation-docker/tree/master#raspberry-pi-5) but still no luck, The concentrator still fail to launch with the latest BalenaOS release. This version [balenaOS 5.3.22](https://github.com/balena-os/meta-balena/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) works, but it is a pity I cannot update the OS anymore.

### Raspberry Pi 5

The new Raspberry Pi 5 requires using the `gpiod` library to access the GPIO to reset SPI concentrators. The service automatically detects the Raspberry Pi 5 and sets these default like in the example below, but you can still override them:
