Raspberry Pi Roadmap

Raspberry Pi is launching towards the end of 2011. There is the opportunity to produce a polished RISC OS distribution for it, which will potentially have a large audience. Before release, there are a number of areas of RISC OS that need attention. Further discussion can be found in this forum thread

See also ideas for the disc image.

Essential, Important

Core OS/ROM image

  • USB driver
  • SD card driver (forum thread )
  • Partition support/ability to find FileCore partition on SD card
  • CMOS RAM
  • RTC or sensible time/date/timezone setup when RTC missing
  • Audio driver
  • USB CD driver
  • Nicer default toolsprites/backdrop/etc
  • Tidy builtin applications
  • Accelerated !Boot

Disc image

  • Popular RISC OS apps ready configured
  • Programming tools
  • Educational software
  • Online help
  • Package manager/‘App store’ for advertising further software downloads?
  • !Configure in Apps that runs !Boot [done]

Materials

  • User documentation/videos/etc
  • Programming guides
  • OS documentation
  • Non-RISC OS software/guides (eg how to use RPCEmu, GCCSDK)

Process control

  • Check RISC OS licensing
  • Check licences of bundled software
  • Software compatibility testing
  • QA/release testing
  • Application source code collection (for that which is available)
