Get the Wombat to work on a fresh OS without breaking things.  #5

@Zacharyprime

Description

@Zacharyprime

The Wombat is still on Jessie, but updating breaks a multitude of things such as the touchscreen drivers.

This is a long deprecated version of Debian (see here).

This was also discussed extensively on this issue: kipr/harrogate#103

I highly recommend reading through that page for more information on the issues.

Edit:
For those new to this thread.
We are trying to get the Wombat software to build completely from a scratch version of the latest piOS.
However, updating such a large version distance has caused a multitude of issues from the touchscreen drivers being incompatible with Linux 5.x.x to harrogate throwing new errors. If you are able to make any progress on these known issues, please report it here.

This gist is where I have been saving the current set of instructions for a scratch build.
