No, no special repos are needed, even for older RPi generations. But

Ok, this sounds promising.

Ah yes. Should have re-read the docs before asking. I swear, the last
time I looked at that page it talked about special repos still :-)
The Pi500+ is a truly boring machine to install and use with openSUSE
(and that's a good thing, don't get me wrong ;-))
Everything just worked according to the documentation.
I just copied the image onto the SD card, added a partition on the
internal NVME as /var/cache/obs, installed the obsworker according to my
documentation and it works just fine.
The HCL:Raspberry_Pi5 page has a note that "As of now user needs to
connect a debug probe otherwise boot gets stuck at U-Boot." which was
not true for me, but I am not sure if this is a peculiarity of the Pi5
vs Pi500, so I did not edit that page to remove the hint.
Bonus: I kept the original raspi OS on the NVME, just downsized it to
about 32GB, so if something goes wrong with a Tumbleweed update, I can
just eject the micro-SD, boot into raspi OS and use it as a rescue
system to get everything running again.
Best regards,
seife
