Raspberry Pi

This is RISC OS for the Raspberry Pi. For our official Raspberry Pi release, you might want to take a look at the NOOBS Lite distribution on the Raspberry Pi site. If you’re not a fan of downloading, installing and configuring stuff, you can buy a fully pre-installed RISC OS Pi or RISC OS ePic SD cards from our store.

By clicking on our links below, you can download a full SD card image which can be programmed onto any SD card of 2GB or larger. This is a complete desktop system and collection of applications to get you started. We also provide downloads for just the RISC OS ROM image itself, for those who are a little more adventurous in brewing their own SD card images. If you choose that route, you will also need to download the HardDisc4 disc-based software pack.

Finally, don’t forget to show your support for RISC OS Open on our donations page! :)
