Hi Thom,

are you planning to make a new openhabian image for the Raspberry Pi 4?

kind regards
Michael

We will as time permits. But thereā€™s a number of issues we need to work on first so this will take some months probably.

According to their site, the CPU architecture is backwards compatible.
IOW, current image should work.

1347

Unlikely. Raspberry foundation says RPi 4 needs a new Raspbian base image and advises not to upgrade. So we need to create a new image, and thatā€™ll take time.

Hmm, but installing a Debian distro on the new RPi 4 and maually installing openHabian afterwards couldnā€™t solve this temporarly?

1349

Possibly. Try for yourself. But the question was on an openHABian image.

Would it make any sense to do the 2.4 image compatible with Rpi 4 ?

1351

It would make more sense to use the Raspbian version provided by Raspberry Pi and then install whatever version of OpenHABian you desire.
The work required for the image would be OS related, not OpenHABian related.
Many people are running 2.5M Milestone release. I am currently running a snapshot.
2.5 will not be released this month due to all the work required.

+1 for that!
RPi 4 (that needs Raspbian Buster) with the 4GB memory would be perfect if you want to include multiple video streams that are CPU/MEM heavy!

1353

Debian Buster has a release date of July 6. Will Raspbian be ready on the same date?

1354

The Raspbian image for RPi 4 is already built from Buster.

openHABian v1.5

We have a new version featuring RPi 4 support and based on Rasbian Buster.
Have a look and enjoy https://github.com/openhab/openhabian/releases/tag/v1.5 :rocket:

Cheers,

ItĀ“s currently not possible to install zram beta from the openhabian-config.
The log says that the repository from @mstormi canĀ“t be found.

Iā€™m waiting for that repo to be transferred to me which is why I had to delete mine first.

1371

Thanks for the hint!
I solved the issue by editing the zram.bash in opt/openhabian/functions

Changed the following lines:

    local ZRAMGIT=https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-config
    local TAG=master

Hi, I wanted to know if this last image is supported by RPi3. Or does it only work with RPi4?

1373

Itā€™ll work on any RPi 2/3/4, see new README.
