With latest NB my network is stable. You can't just select run during system boot.

Instructions on building 64-bit Raspberry Pi AROS and cross-compiler from sources.

You will need:
- Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04
- qemu-system-aarch64 installed
- Internet connection
- rpi-scripts.tar.gz downloaded (https://axrt.org/download/aros/rpi/rpi-scripts.tar.gz)

1) Install prerequisites:

sudo apt install git gcc g++ make gawk bison flex bzip2 netpbm autoconf automake libc6-dev liblzo2-dev libpng-dev gcc-multilib byacc python3-mako cmake yasm curl nasm

2) Clone sources

cd <project-directory>
git clone https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS.git --recurse-submodules

3) Extract rpi-scripts.tar.gz. Copy all files into your project directory so that you have:

AROS (the directory with cloned sources)
fix-dotdot.py
rebuild.sh
recreate-sdcard.sh
run-qemu.sh
update-sdcard.sh

4) Run ./rebuild.sh. Select option 1) toolchain-core-aarch64

This will execute process of building a cross-compiler. During this process packages will be downloaded from Internet. This process can take up to 2 hours. If there are some missing dependencies, install them with 'sudo apt install' and restart this step.

5) Run ./rebuild.sh again. Select option 2) core-raspi-aarch64

This will build system files for 64-bit Raspberry Pi AROS. This process can take around an hour.

6) Run ./recreate-sdcard.sh

This will create an sdcard.img file with contents of previous step.

7) Run ./run-qemu.sh

This will start QEMU with SD card image and ROM images. It will boot into AROS.

Hi,

This one flew under the radar for me

We have a say narrator device added about 3 weeks ago, been trying on the Pi but I cannot get it to work. Anyone else had any success?

Does Sound work at all? In AHI Prefs you can start a "test sound"

Hi,

Thanks, yes and set as Music and Unit 0 - always forget that last one

I asked on the Hollywood forums is there was any chance for an AROS RPi 32 bit (rather thn 64 bit) version, but unfortunately the reply was it was possible but only of the popularity of AROS increased somewhat to justifiy it.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Unfortunately, we'll have to wait. These are interconnected vessels. To increase the popularity of a platform, you need software. To create software, you need popularity among programmers. To generate interest among programmers, you need an IDE; to create an IDE, you need popularity.

First, let's wait for the full contrib package, primarily with a browser. Without a browser, the system is just a curiosity, a one-time run.

An Emu68 with network support would also be useful. I wonder what stage it's at.

The package of zuneview and zunepaint on archives contein also source code

I can understand both sides

we have to do what we can to get more aros users with the new ARM branch, then we will also get support from others

Hi, brand new new user. Got a Pi 3B, downloaded the nightly AROS 107MB build from last night and copied it over to a 32gig fat32 formatted SD Card in Windows 10.

"Rainbow screen" upon boot. Fixed that by downloading the "bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb" file and threw in the root of the SD-CARD.

AROS boots into a very Amiga like CLI looking prompt and on the right side of the screen there is a yellow lightning bolt.

The USB Microsoft mouse lights up, but no pointer.
The LENOVO USB keyboard is not responding, nor lights up.

Please advise on how to move forward, would love to explore this system...

Thank you.

That's very odd unless there is a regression in the code. I have a 3b v1.2 which I believe is the same as yours and was working fine a few weeks ago.

I'll try the new nightly and report back

Hi,

Can you tell us what power supply you are using? The voltage and amps?

https://forum.lib...ht-corner/

You could remove all usb keyboard/mouse etc and startup to see if it changes anything?

I assume Windows 10 does a fat32 format well?

Tried yesterday on 26th release with Pi400 on a new sd card and no issues with audio and 2d video but that was with a genuine RPI 5A power supply

Last thing to try is another sd card, if possible?

I just ordered my Raspberry Pi 400 & power supply! Waiting to install the new AROS Pi OS. ;-)

Hi,

Great, I'm waiting on a micro hdmi to full hdmi cable, as I thought I had one, to do more testing.

Thanks for all the replies. The power supply is "whatever I'got in the drawer", from 4 different phones, to a 45w and a 60w notebook charger, I had no clue it had to be more precise. I will look into getting a correct RPI 5A power supply for it.
Tried 5 different cables, some very short, other that were longer.

Took out the mouse and keyboard. Same result.

Yes, Windows 10, Fat32 format.

SD card, got it, will look into finding another, they are there, somewhere.

Hi,

Hope it solves your issue as just about everybody goes through this.

Wow, all of them gave the lightning symbol, that's bad luck.

Up to 3b+ the max you will need is 5.1V 2.5A with micro usb.
With Pi 4 upwards, the amps went ever upwards, even to 5.1V 9A with usb-c

The sd should be your last resort, I have had 2 go 'bad' in a short space of time recently. They were old, over 10 years.

I've been poking at the Wi-Fi with the past couple of nightlies using a Zero 2 W with similar results. It will occasionally save the interface settings, but never the wireless. I've yet to see the wireless manager pop up, so no luck connecting to the access point in the studio.

Also tried it with a Waveshare Ethernet HAT, but that never makes it past power-on.

But outside of that, everything else seems to be in a mostly workable state. Really neat project to follow.

REALLY looking forwards to see this develop !

@everyone

If you believe there is a bug or random behavior with Prefs/Network please submit a but report here:

https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/issues

There has been a lot of changes around network lately so its quite possible a regressions slipped in.

Happy for this RPi3 port - it's been fun to experiment with ... and it's remarkably stable.

A few things I notice:

- the startup script emits a lot of errors about "If" statements



This seems to come from this part of the Startup-Sequence
