There’s no actual data, but if we had to guess the least-favourite Disney movie of former Amiga owners would have to be Frozen, because none of them will ever be able to “Let it Go”. The Amiga-derived AROS Research Operating System has just been ported to boot bare-metal on the Raspberry Pi, in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Yes, there’s a 64-bit Amiga-compatible OS that runs on ARM. It truly is a time of wonders.AROS has already been ported to a number of platforms. Besides x86, there’s a PPC port that provided a lot of code to the MorphOS, which you can read about here, and a back-port that brings AROS back to original Amiga 68k hardware. There is even a build for RISC V.AROS developers are making sure that Amiga legacy isn’t stuck on any given hardware, so they never have to let it go. So while not totally out of left field, this development is “pretty nifty” both in that it gives another ultralight operating system for the Pi, with boot times to rival RiscOS, and another platform for ex-Amiga users to play with that isn’t 40 years old. Previously if you wanted to run AROS on a Pi it was virtualized in Linux, making it similar to all other Amiga emulators.While some software has been recompiled for ARM, the available software isn’t as full-featured as x86, but that’s almost certain to change as time goes on. It’s early days yet and this build is very much a work in progress. Likewise we expect support for other Pi boards to expand, as while right now the target is the Pi3, the forum threads include discussion of the Pi4 and even Zero2W.You can check the port out in action in a video by [Dan Wood] embedded below, sent to us by tipster [Stephen Walters]. Thanks [Stephen]!We have featured AROS once before, thought it’s been a while.
