AEROS for Raspberry Pi public version available

[phoenixkonsole]

As promised you can grab it from www.aeros-os.org

It is based on beta 1 from a few weeks ago. T
Only the "Supporter"-Version comes with "lx"-command.

In order to give you still access to Linux stuff the following is also supported in the free Version:

- tint2 Taskbar allows accessing of Linux stuff (right click on it)
- Linux Windows are "hovering" above Wanderer. Just like Widgets on OS X.

Remember to try the "mouse wheel" feature on Window-title-bars. Very handy and makes window movement much faster.

From now on the public release will be 2 versions behind to the "supporter Version".

I hope that I can add a ARM based AresOne next week to www.ares-shop.de



Next weekend I will upload beta3 which will than match AEROS for x86 r3.5 except for applications. I take care about what is also possible on PPC Linux. Sadly.. much less than on ARM.

The Screenshot shows r3.5 for x86 . Next Raspberry Pi image will look like it except Icon size which is already smaller by default. (Last native AROS Broadway introduced changeable Icon-sizes 48x48, 64x64 and 128x128 as shown on the screenshot)

You can run Linux software directly from within AROS???

After looking at Ouya and other ARM based machines the last few days I was thinking "Why doesn't that crazy AROS guy have an ARM-based AresOne?"

This is great news indeed as I can see thousands of young people learning to program on the Raspberry PI :drink:

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.

The Raspberry Pi comes in at £20, that price point is only possible due to the age of the technology involved.

The hardware is still rather powerful and should teach the children using it to optimise their software rather than simply using brute force to solve a problem.

AEROS is build for ARMHF right?

[phoenixkonsole]

Hello guys,
 
"lx" allows to launch Linux apps from AROS shell.
The applicatins are drawn by X11 from Linux, so they feel like Widgets "hovering" above wanderer.
 
Copy and paste between Linux and AROS is possible but needs to be called manually in the moment. There are two tools in "test" which would need to be inlcuded in AROS hosted. -> One bounty i will start soon.
 
A AROS developer could make use of this. For example AMC could make use of vlc/mplayer feauture only available on Linux. Printing could be handled straight by cups and so on. The same app will run on native AROS too but without the connection to Linux.
 
The image is still Arm softfloat, lx is C code, so it can be compiled for armfh (which is on the agenda). The configs I made for armel can be copied over to armhf just as they are. So no problem here.
 
The Pi has one advantage (you may now that i don't fell in love with it but hell its succes proves me wrong : p):
success, large user base with a large portion of fun in experimenting.
 
AEROS runs on more powerfull stuff like EfikaMX too.

I'm getting an error when trying to download

Forbidden

[phoenixkonsole]

Argh.. need to change flag on the server. Can try at lunch-time (beeing at work).

[phoenixkonsole]

Ok fixed via web ftp.

[dlr]

Works now thanks, will download and try it

From now on the public release will be 2 versions behind to the "supporter Version".

Is all the software in the public release under APL or similar?
And what about the supporter version? Apart from lx is there any other difference?

[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.
