It's the month for Raspberry Pi reverse engineering, apparently!

First I showed the Pi Zero 2W in a Pico form factor:    • Reverse engineering the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W  

And now @TubeTime has reverse-engineered the Compute Module 5! https://github.com/schlae/cm5-reveng

I've decided to run through all the scans I recently did with Lumafield, for the benefit of anyone reverse engineering any of the other Pi models, and here they are, in all their glory!

Raspberry Pi 4 model B: https://voyager.lumafield.com/project...
Raspberry Pi CM4: https://voyager.lumafield.com/project...
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W: https://voyager.lumafield.com/project...
Raspberry Pi 5: https://voyager.lumafield.com/project...
Raspberry Pi CM5: https://voyager.lumafield.com/project...

HUGE thanks to Lumafield for helping me produce these scans.
