FWIW - i don't know if this is interesting to the group but i'm pretty happy i just got an AROS environment running on Linux x86_64 using github/deadwood2 setup and Claude directing me. I have a Workbench window!

I was an old time Amiga user and came across a video AROS on a RPi3 last week. That prompted me to investigate more. I always wanted to write a BOOPSI program, and now I can, and I'll be able to use a coding agent to help too. Wow - This is cool.

Great to see you picking up development! I actually prepared a setup to coding agents that might be intersting for you, check it here: https://arosworld.org/infusions/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1933&rowstart=0#post_11881 It using diffent coding agent (opencode) but must of the things are transferable to Claude Code I think. Good luck with your coding endevour!

@tom1000

Welcome! I'm glad you successfully installed your AROS test system. :-)

It took me a month to setup my 64bit cross compiler on Ubuntu 24.04 but I think I'm a slow learner!

I also purchased a Raspberry Pi 400. It arrived a few days ago. I look forward to compiling some of my own software to test on AROS Pi.
That's what I call it, for lack of a better name. I have some small graphics programs that I'm going to re-write and compile for Amiga 68k using the same code for AROS. I'd like to compile them for Raspberry.

I suppose they are written in BOOPSI code. It's the traditional Amiga code that uses intuition windows, menus & Datatypes to use for graphics ops.

Anyhow, that's a long-worded "Hello'.

Latest update installed to my i5 laptop; no issue with boot or starting OWB.

My USB audio adapter arrived in time to try with the new release. It's recognised bu Posiedon, bound to usbaudio.class and is visible in AHI prefs. Unfortunately, it fails to produce an audio output on pressing 'Play a test sound', with Trident reporting an endpoint stall. It's the same behaviour in both USB2 and USB3 ports. I've attached the Trident log in case that is of any help.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Edit: More tests:

If the device is plugged in before boot into a USB2 port, it works.

If the device is plugged into a USB2 port after boot, it does not work.

With USB3, neither plugging in before or after boot works.

Saying that, that fact it works at all is really good news. No need to stress if a laptop has supported audio or not, since if the latter there's now the USB audio option.

Thanks for the tests and I'm glad it worked eventually for you!

When you have time, could you try ABIv1 nightly build and see if the behavior is the same?

I was going to ask if a comparison would be useful Smile . I'll give it a try on ABI1; I presume the standard version rather than SMP?

Cheers,

Yes, standard version is correct for comparison with this release. If you have time you can also try SMP - just to see how it works.

I tried AROS ABIv1 SMP with native graphics, it gets to Wanderer but then the VESA graphics hang with a black screen after boot. I tried the legacy option but nothing.
