There are some notes specific to rpi installs, so give it a read if you run HAOS on that platform.

Raspberry Pi 5 users need a bootloader from at least 2025-02-12, otherwise the display output may freeze early during the boot. Update the bootloader before installing this update, using one of the following methods:

  • Run rpi-eeprom-update -a while connected directly to the device (using a display and keyboard), prior to installing the OS update.
  • Use Raspberry Pi Imager with a spare SD card to flash a bootloader update image to it.
  • Alternatively, if you have an SSH terminal app installed, you can run ha os boards raspberrypi firmware update over SSH right after updating the OS.

@Scheisser @limelight79 So if I do not have a display connected, then it's not problem? Can I just use the terminal app?

What I don't get is that if the new HAOS should be able to do a bootloader update on its own, so why doesn't it just have a button for that?
