That code part didn’t check for pi5 yet. I’ve added it.
Try again, let openhabian-config update itself on start.

Check config.txt in /boot/firmware if openhabian-config properly modified it.
And use debugmode=maximum in /etc/openhabian.conf before retrying.

Hi Markus,

Maybe I’m not doing something good…

I’ve checked config.txt in /boot/firmware → 

# For more options and information see
# http://rptl.io/configtxt
# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

# Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
dtparam=audio=on

# Additional overlays and parameters are documented
# /boot/firmware/overlays/README

# Automatically load overlays for detected cameras
camera_auto_detect=1

# Automatically load overlays for detected DSI displays
display_auto_detect=1

# Automatically load initramfs files, if found
auto_initramfs=1

# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

# Don't have the firmware create an initial video= setting in cmdline.txt.
# Use the kernel's default instead.
disable_fw_kms_setup=1

# Run in 64-bit mode
arm_64bit=1

# Disable compensation for displays with overscan
disable_overscan=1

# Run as fast as firmware / board allows
arm_boost=1

[cm4]
# Enable host mode on the 2711 built-in XHCI USB controller.
# This line should be removed if the legacy DWC2 controller is required
# (e.g. for USB device mode) or if USB support is not required.

After reboot the option 35 checkbox( 2 (RPi3/4) move Bluetooth to mini UART) still isn’t checked and Z-Wave Serial Controller it’s still offline…

Until you made the commit I didn’t see this message, so I’m guessing I made the update… no errors… after reboot I’ve checked if there is any [*] , it isn’t.

Thanks!

That’s meaningless, it isn’t supposed to be checked.
Last line of your config.txt shows it was properly modified so it should work.
At least this has been working for RPI3/4 in years AFAIK.
So either something changed in RPi5 vs RPi4 w.r.t. UART options, or your zwave problem cause is not here.
EDIT: Try dtparam=uart0=on in config.txt
but please g**gle yourself to find out how to diagnose if your serial port is working.
If you find out about differences in RPi5 vs earlier such as new options we might need to set in config.txt, please figure out and let me know.

Don’t know if i still can help?

I had the same problem with Zwave-js. What i did was.

sudo systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service and then
sudo systemctl disable serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service

do not use ttyAMA10. Because I tryed it and it didn’t work so i tryed ttyAMA0 and that was the solution for me.

89

I tried sudo stop/disable serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service as you wrote, but it does not seem to work for me.
Then i tried to sudo stop/disable serial-getty@ttyAMA10.service (because I thought then the sytem would relocate to another ttyAMAx and you wrote not to use ttyAMA10), but that does not make a difference.
When I check with: ls -l /dev |grep serial it returns always: serial0 -> ttyAMA10.
What am I doing wrong? How would I relocate the serial0 to ttyAMA0 (if that may help solve to get the zwave-controller online)?

Thanks for any help.
