AEROS for Raspberry Pi public version available

[phoenixkonsole]

Nope,
AROS hosted systemfiles are APL.
Linux is mostly GPL but also a few proprietary firmwares are included.
Broadway (X)/AEROS/ logos/icons are free to use in Applications made for AROS (also commercial) every where else need permission.
Lx is proprietary.
 
Difference to supporter version:
missing "lx"
Being 2 versions behind. So if i release a new supporter version I will also a new public version which will be an older one minus "lx" and "ax". AX is the opposite. Running AROS apps from Linuxside. Works only on x86 in the moment.
 
There is also Aminux where i tried AROS Vision as a Amithlon like system. Here I need help to patch FS-UAE or similar.

Pity those poor kids can't be given an ARM system with a little more horsepower.
I like Pascal's idea, but unless he moves up to something like an A9 or A15, I'd favor the X86 version.

Well the best programmer I personally know credits his first computer for his programming skills that had a whopping 20Kb of ram:p
Just imagine

Excuse my stupidity but where exactly do I get the download?  Would love to try this on my Pi.

Thanks - was looking in completely the wrong place (didn't realise that you had added an extra bit to downloads and was trying to access it from Old Versions).
 
Will download and let you know what I think.

This might just be the excused I need to use some of my next paycheck on a rasp

Good news indeed.

@ phoenixkonsole if you do think about making an ARM based AresOne, please let us know

Let us all know!

I want to port my game to AROS but only if AROS is mature enuff and ready.  I am all for the success of AROS, but I don't have the time or ability to battle something if it is hopelessly bugridden or missing vital components of AmigaOS or if it is incompatible or something.  I need a level of confidence before I dive into the water.

AROS interests me a lot.  Rpi interests me a lot.  Coding interests me a lot.

You've got to remember this is still a beta stage project, so you might expect there to be bugs.
Claus seems committed to steadily improving it.
And ARM is definitely becoming a serious player.
The A-9 was a nice improvement over the A-8.
A15 is very nice and A-57 could seriously kick ass.

So I think its the right ISA to support.
Plus you can freely negotiate a license for it.
Try that with X86.

At least I prepare a bundle of the Pi with a AresOne case made in italy.
First batch is ready in 8 weeks.  (see upper image it shows the led window and represents the top view of the case)

@ChaosLord
Later this year you can give it a go. Seroius coding makes sense as soon ARMhf version is ready. This gives a speed boost.

I prefer the top blue logo

Oh heck, that's nothing new.
My first system had 16K of RAM (and at the time I thought that was a lot).
RAM constraints aren't really that big a deal anymore.
But I remember when the 512K expansion for a Coco3 cost more than the 128K Coco3 cost itself.
I learned to write code in small modules under OS-9 that could frequently be used by more than one process (since the system only had to load one copy as the code was re-entrant).
I still tend to break things into small parts.

Funny, I was just discussing using that OS on an AtariST with some old friends since that version is still floating around (and the Amiga version was marketed at $600 per copy).

armhf/hard is about 10% faster in most cases than armel/softfp, but what is the hold up?

Which computer was that? I think that 20K was an unusual amount, instead of 1K, 2K, 8K, 16K, or 32K. Perhaps it was 16K with a 4K RAM upgrade.

Everyone with a Vic 20 used to always say "I have a 5K computer"

Apple ][+ and Atari 800 and Spectrum all had 48k.

Commodore 64 had 64K but if you did all your programming in COMAL (which was such a beauuuuutiful language) then you only had 20K to work with iirc.  So maybe that is what he meant.

Can I use JanusUAE in this public version?
