For Raspberry model 5 you need openplotter v4 and the seatalk1 feature have to be rewritten to work in both models. It is not a trivial task so we will work on this when the stable openplotter v4 is released so as not to delay it. Our human resources and time are limited and some help here would be fantastic. In the meantime, someone may present a solution but I do not think anyone is working on this.
My system consists of a mini-PC running Ubuntu. Works great!
To support Seatalk1, I added a RPi just for that purpose, connected through wifi to the mini-PC. Has worked flawlessly for a year, until I modernized my instrument setup. Separating the Seatalk1 interface using a dedicated RPi is what I recommend.
