Raspberry Pi 5 support?

iandouglas opened this issue · 5 comments

Current Situation

I imaged an SD card with the latest Homebridge that the Raspberry Pi Installer would support, but upon booting my Pi 5 the screen reported that the SD card wasn't set to support the Pi 5 yet.

Proposed Change

Not sure what all is needed to support the Pi 5?

Additional Context

No response

The Pi 5 needs Raspberry Pi OS bookworm.

We are still working thru bookworm support on the image build server, but this process will work https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Install-Homebridge-on-Raspbian in the interim

HI had a question, what is the difference between the finished Homebridge image and normal installation? Since I also have a pi 5 and I don't know whether I should wait for the image or not

The finished image is just raspbian bookworm with homebridge already installed. It also includes optimization for headless setup, so you can skip attaching a keyboard and mouse.

FYI - I shared a beta of the bookworm release on the homebridge discord server in the homebridge-raspbian-image channel if you want to try it out.

The production release has been refreshed and is now based on bookworm, which includes support for RPI 5.
