Raspberry Pi

ℹ️ Some Raspberry Pi users have reported system lockups and reboots with some Z-Wave and Zigbee USB adapters. This is an unresolved bug of the dwc_otg driver in the Raspberry Pi kernel. If your systems reboots or locks up during Z-Wave or Zigbee initialization, you can use the DWC2 driver by adding dtoverlay=dwc2 to config.txt. See #3362 for details. Only do these adjustments if your device locks up and reboots with HAOS 12.3 or newer with USB devices connected.

Hardkernel ODROID

ℹ️ For ODROID-N2 (and Home Assistant Blue) this release reverts U-Boot update which is believed to be the cause of some intermittent issues when booting from eMMC. If you had any trouble previously after an update to OS 11.5 or newer, please see #3227 and help us with tracing this issue.
⚠️ Please note that some new eMMC modules with the Kingston chips are not supported yet - this is tracked in #3250.
