Official release of RISC OS for Raspberry Pi - updated

Posted by Steve Revill Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:02:00 GMT

We have updated the official release of RISC OS for the Raspberry Pi (RISC OS Pi) to address a number of issues that were spotted in our first release. The updated image has now been made available for download here.

Take a look at the first official announcement from the Foundation on the Raspberry Pi web site.

If you’re new to RISC OS, you can find a quick overview here and in the “A Stroll Around RISC OS” PDF document here (plus, of course, on the RISC OS Open site!).

Don’t forget, for your convenience and enjoyment, you can buy RISC OS Pi pre-imaged and tested on an SD card from RISC OS Open, as well as the fantastic NutPi add-on pack. See our store pages for more information.

The Nut Pi comes on a specially branded SD card, formatted specifically for RISC OS machines containing the following fantastic programs:

  • PhotoDesk (Fourth Dimension)
  • WimpWorks (Jaffa Software)

For more information about these great programs, read out more detailed descriptions here.

As well as being a great collection of some of the best commercial RISC OS software available, this represents a fantastic deal; the total retail value of the bundled software is over £600 but the Nut Pi is available for just £35 plus P&P – that’s cheaper than the Desktop Development Environment on its own! You can buy it from the ROOL shop today.

Please note: the software supplied with the Nut Pi is specifically built for Raspberry Pi hardware and will not function correctly on any other hardware platform. Use on any other platform is completely unsupported by ROOL and the individual software vendors. You need RISC OS running on your Raspberry Pi to use Nut Pi – please see this page for more information.
