once it could be shared on youtube, it would be awesome so people could see how AROS runs in such a tiny system

Some progress!! Here are my tests on a RPi 3B v 1.2 (not B+)

Quote

* Boot with both a mouse and keyboard connected.

Only mouse works. KB does not.

Quote

* Boot with only a mouse connected.

Mouse works!

Quote

* Boot with only a keyboard connected.

KB does not work

Quote

* Boot with neither connected, then hot-plug them after the system has booted.

Mouse works all the time. KB just refuses to work.

I have attached the error.log from Poseidon if it helps any.

Hi,

Pi 3B v1.2 with 6th August

Both - keyboard popup appeared and keyboard works but no mouse popup at first but does are multiple removals/reinsertions and mouse now active and mouse cursor works.
Only mouse - like above no initial popup but popups work after removal/reinsertions - mouse works and cursor moves
Only keyboard - no initial popup but popups work after removal/reinsertions - keyboard works now
Neither - keyboard / mouse works after being plugged in with popups for each

Think they are all low, and yes Trident shows them as low

FYi, HDMI and plugin audio works and VideoCore HDMI resolution can be changed

Hi all,

If anyone could test last night's build on a Pi 3B or 3B+, I would be very grateful:

https://sourcefor...2/download

Ideally, I'd like you to test the following scenarios:

* Boot with both a mouse and keyboard connected.
* Boot with only a mouse connected.
* Boot with only a keyboard connected.
* Boot with neither connected, then hot-plug them after the system has booted.

And, if you know this, report if it is a low or full speed device.

- Bo

Just to report this does boot on my RPi Zero 2W, and fast - it takes about 6 s from power-up

Unfortunately as noted USB mouse and keyboard are not ercognised (I can however see a mouse pointer, but it's stuck top left corner of the screen). Still, it's great to see Wanderer up and running on a RPi!

Cheers,
Nigel.

@Everyone

I got word from Bo that he is looking for regression related to Mouse/Keyboard. Hopefully he will post in this thread when the issue is resolved.

Under batocera, the same mouse and KB work. Mouse even shows the infra light on now.

More pics. Just to be clear, the mouse pointer does show up (not captured in this email) but it's on the top left corner of the screen.

It's definitely not the mouse. Mouse works on my MacBook. What's strange is the mouse infrared light doesn't even come on on the RPi and I am using a wall PSU 5v 2500mA. Going to test the same mouse and KB on the RPi with a diff OS.

When I plug in a USB pen drive it detects it and it shows on the desktop but can't do anything with it since M/KB don't work

Hi,

Try another sd card, first one I tried gave errors and would not fully boot. SD cards are dodgy by nature.

Unlikely but a change of 5V 2A psu?

Should be noted I am not using a +, just to try another variant.

So you see the Wanderer screen with drive icons. What could be causing my system to stop before loading Wanderer? (RPi 3b+)

Hi,

Just tried latest 31st July native build on pi 3 b v1.2 and same result.
Boots to wanderer desktop with volume icons but no mouse cursor (mouse has led light for 3secs but then no light in optical section underneath until frantic mouse clicks gives one pulse every 3 seconds) and keyboard no response but lights up and not even keyboard shortcuts for mouse.

No usb popups at all for keyboard or mouse but one for pendrive and volume icons appeared/disappear after every insert and removal. But after many removals and reinsertions, the popups were getting less and less until no longer detected (no popups) and no usb volume icons. I think I was removing usb drive during detection and before volume icons appeared (I know stupidly dangerous but someone might do it). Everything appears OK after reboot - popups and volume icons from usb stick.

Pi3 only has usb2 afaik, only with Pi4 usb3 came in.

Some comments from the developer (he tested with several keyboard and all work for him):

- make sure usb/keyboard is connected during boot
- update to latest nightly
- after boot, insert pendrive - see if you get Poseidon popup/pendrive is recognized

- make sure usb/keyboard is connected during boot (Done that with all of the 4 USB ports)
- update to latest nightly (Done that as of 7/31/26)
- after boot, insert pendrive - see if you get Poseidon popup/pendrive is recognized (Done that and Poseidon popped up for few seconds only on after I booted for the very first time the nightly from 7/31/26, disappeared and now doesn't come back up)

Looks like the OS detects them but seems some is still not right, and it could be the devices. I do know they work if I plug them on another laptop.

I'll continue to play around and test and get back to you.

Re. USB devices only being seen when first conected but not seen when connected again - I have the same symptoms on one of my x86 machines with USB3, so maybe something in te#he USB3 code rather than specifically with the Pi code? Just guessing...

Cheers,
Nigel.

Hi,

I did ask AI - Orange Pi is open source hardware with no binary blobs?

That statement is partially incorrect. While Orange Pi provides open-source board schematics, U-Boot, and Linux kernel integration, the boards still rely on proprietary binary blobs for components like Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules and GPU/NPU acceleration firmware.

Does this mean probably not?

Unfortunately, the RPi 3 is quite old hardware, and from what I've read here, versions 4 and 5 have undergone significant changes. I've also heard that Raspberry Pi is a rather closed project, and it's impossible to obtain documentation for this hardware. This is a real shame, as this hardware line has become somewhat iconic, somewhat reminiscent of the glory days of our Amiga hardware.
I'm just wondering if it wouldn't be worth considering supporting the Orange Pi once the Raspberry Pi port is completed. Forgive my theorizing, I'm not an expert, but from what I understand, the Orange Pi is open source hardware, and it's possible that it would be easier for a hardware programmer to get to grips with.
Of course, I'd prefer to have AROS working on my RPi 500+, which is my discovery of the year, but that will probably never happen. For now, I'm glad that someone is seriously considering the ARM platform in the form of RPi 3 and I'm waiting for another NB to test

All valid points. I share the same feelings about the RPi and OPi. The latter seems to be the board of choice inside the The A500 as well as The A1200 which IIRC does already use some AROS code to boot into the customized OS. Perhaps, there is a better path forward there than there is on the RPi. Whichever the path, I agree that seeing AROS on RPi boot is a major milestone and not to take it lightly. I truly believe it can open the door(s) to a new AROS World.

I dont know how poseidon relates to the underline driver, but as of my quick experience with cherryusb i think you have 2 differents classes to support.
MSC , related to the storage, and HID, related to thing like mouse and keyboard.

My RPi 3B+ starts and gets to a gray window titled AROS. The Wanderer icon doesn't load. The mouse pointer doesn't respond to mouse movements. I've tried two models, including the original Raspberry Pi. During startup, Poseidon displays messages about detecting USB devices. After inserting a flash drive, it's correctly detected and assigned a massstorage.class.
