Razberry 2 combined with Raspberry Pi 5

Hi,

Can someone advice me if a Razberry 2 board should work on a Raspberry Pi 5? Currently it’s not working and after a couple of hours of troubleshooting I think it’s never going to work. Can’t really find any documentation if the combination of the two is supported. Thank you for your help.

Cheers,
Neandertaler.

I know that other HAT z-wave boards require disabling bluetooth in the boot config with

dtoverlay=disable-bt

In this thread they say it’s required for the RPi 4 as well. Have you done that?

Here’s another thread talking about making it work on a RPi 5 like your scenario

Thank you for the information. Already tried this and still having the same issue. This is the logfile being generated while starting. I’ve tried to use both /dev/ttyAMA10 and /dev/ttyS0 ports. Both are failing with the same error.

I feel such a n00b now…just found this link => Z-Wave Controllers - Home Assistant

For the RPI5 you need to enter the following information in the config.txt => dtoverlay=uart0

How did you get to ‘config.txt’ as the HA OS 13.2 image does not mount in windows?
