BaremetalPI fails on Julia 1.10.1 and above

[JakeZw]

Something changed in Julia 1.10.1 that causes BaremetalPI to error. The discussion regarding the details of the problem is on discourse, where there are links for more detail.

Hi @JakeZw !

Yes, there is something different in the new version of Julia. However, I am trying to have access again to a RaspberryPi to debug the issue. Maybe I will be able to test it next week.

I tried it again with Julia 1.10.5 and 1.11.0-rc3 and both have the same issue. Then I though I would set the compat for Mmap to "= 1.10.0" but that failed. I guess Mmap is part of the standardlib so cannot be set independently.

Finally I tried to see if I could use the Mmap from Julia 1.10.0 and make it a submodule of BareMetalPi, but also failed in that. I am using the PI 4 with 8 GB RAM and Bookworm OS. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do (except using Julia 1.10.0) until JuliaLang/julia#54203 is fixed.

This issue has now been fixed in Julia and will be backported to 1.10 and 1.11. Thus when 1.10.6 and 1 .11.0 are released, BaremetalPi.jl should work again. See this post.
