Issues with raspi-blinka.py and Raspberry Pi 5

[BlitzCityDIY]

Script Command

sudo -E PATH=$PATH python raspi-blinka.py

Operating System

64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm

Hardware

Raspberry Pi 5

Behavior

The script executes properly and recognizes that its on a Pi 5. When running the Blinka test script, I got the "Cannot determine SOC peripheral base address". I commented out #dtparam=spi=on and rebooted. I still got an error.
I referenced the Blinka manual install instructions and found the RPi.GPIO note on Pi 5 and ran pip uninstall -y RPi.GPIO and it uninstalled RPi.GPIO. Running the Blinka test script, it got further but then failed on the SPI check. I went back into config.txt and uncommented dtparam=spi=on and rebooted. Finally the Blinka test script ran properly.

This was confusing to navigate and I was referencing the Learn guide. This was on a fresh install made with Raspberry Pi Imager, released 2024-11-19.

Description

When I ran the script on a fresh install on a Pi 5 in October for this project, I did not run into any of these issues.
