This is openHABian, the image to combine RaspiOS and openHAB on Raspberry Pi hardware.
This release is the first to be based on Debian 13 "trixie" distribution.
openHABian will install openHAB 5.1 and OpenJDK Java 21.
If you come across any issues or have any comments you'd like to share please discuss them in this thread.
When you select openHABian in Raspberry Pi imager, it will offer you the latest stable release (i.e. this one).
Alternatively, you can download the image here and use Raspberry Pi imager or Etcher to manually flash it to a micro SD card. Remember to preferably use an 'Endurance' labelled card.
Please read the docs on 64bit for which one to choose so you can have the best experience with your hardware.
If your hardware enables you to go with 64 bit - which essentially means you should have 2 GB of RAM or more -, use the 64bit image.
