HAOS 18.0 update released (github.com)

There are some notes specific to rpi installs, so give it a read if you run HAOS on that platform.

Raspberry Pi 5 users need a bootloader from at least 2025-02-12, otherwise the display output may freeze early during the boot. Update the bootloader before installing this update, using one of the following methods:

Run rpi-eeprom-update -a while connected directly to the device (using a display and keyboard), prior to installing the OS update.
Use Raspberry Pi Imager with a spare SD card to flash a bootloader update image to it.
Alternatively, if you have an SSH terminal app installed, you can run ha os boards raspberrypi firmware update over SSH right after updating the OS.

Wait, will it boot or not on an RPi5? The first part makes it sound like it won't, but then the last bullet of suggested fixes implies it will boot.

It will boot, the display will be frozen until you run the update.

I did the update and ran the recommended command. Seems to be working. I don't have a monitor and keyboard hooked up to know if it's really working.

You would know if it didn’t work, I can guarantee that as I was foolish enough to apply the update while being 700km away and not being back before August. Luckily most of my devices are Matter over Thread, so despite HA being offline I can still monitor our RV over Apple Home.

My understanding is that it will off you apply those changes
