Building

1. Set up the Raspberry Pi
   Pay attention to these notes: https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix#Troubleshooting
   Note: The config file has moved in Debian Bookworm to /boot/firmware/config.txt
   If this does not work you can blacklist the kernel module for the sound chip:
   echo "blacklist snd_bcm2835" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-snd_bcm2835.conf

2. Install required packages
   sudo apt install -y git libncurses5-dev

3. Clone repository
   git clone https://github.com/hansu/rpi-canoepolo-scoreboard.git

4. Build it
   cd rpi-canoepolo-scoreboard
make -C scoreboard -j
   Note: the included libws libray is for 32 bit only. Use the branch "64-bit" if you use a 64 bit OS.

5. Run it
   cd rpi-canoepolo-scoreboard/scoreboard
sudo ./scoreboard
