Raspberry 3

USB mouse, keyboard and memory stcks are now working on Pi zero 2W :-). Mouse and keyboard need to be conected at startup via a hub but memory sticks can be connected after boot. There are still some issues with removing and reconnecting though; sometimes the devices are recognised, sometimes not. However, it's great to be able to use the system.

Wifi is working for me; I connected through IPv4, DHCP for all settings. Connection is WPA encrypted. Ping works, although a bit slow (about 70 ms per ping compared to a few ms for my laptops).

I can change screen resolutios, although if I drag the screen down is goes black for a moment at the start and end of the drag.

Looking forward to doing further tests :-)

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. This is using 64 bit system.

Hi,

Nice, thanks everyone.

regards usblan78xx on Pi3b

Pis 2 and 3 used the SMSC LAN9514 chip
Pi 3 B+ uses a Microchip LAN7515 chip

Could this be an issue?

FYI Contrib is now up http://www.aros.o...htly1.html

32-bit and 64-bit AROS builds for Raspberry Pi 3 are now available on www.aros.org.

These builds are already quite stable and offer many features, but the are not yet complete. We ask anyone who is interested, to test these builds and provide feedback in this thread.

Builds are available in form of "nightly builds" - that means they contain the latest and greatest features, but keep in mind that something that means a regression can slip in.

If you are interested in 32-bit version, download these nightly builds:

http://www.aros.org/nightly1.html

www.axrt.org/media/arm-32-bit.png


Alternatively, if the latest nightly build is not available or not working for you, you can use these pre-tested versions:

https://www.axrt.org/download/aros/rpi/AROS-20260811-raspi-armhf-system.tar.bz2
https://www.axrt.org/download/aros/rpi/AROS-20260804-raspi-armhf-contrib.tar.bz2

Extract contents of the archive to FAT-formatted SD-card to boot Raspberry Pi.
Contrib archive contains additional software compiled for 32-bit version.

If you are interested in 64-bit version, download these nightly builds:

http://www.aros.org/nightly1.html

www.axrt.org/media/arm-64-bit.png


Alternatively, if the latest nightly build is not available or not working for you, you can use these pre-tested versions:

https://www.axrt.org/download/aros/rpi/AROS-20260811-raspi-aarch64-system.tar.bz2

Extract contents of the archive to FAT-formatted SD-card to boot Raspberry Pi.

Wi-Fi support is crucial for me, as the Pi-Top laptop case is on its way to me Smile
Of course, it would be useful to have some network-connected programs now, but I assume a 64-bit contrib package is only a matter of time.

Right now, I'm also smiling sheepishly at Deadwood for the latest browser version ;-)

Hi,

I did not have much luck either, but I hate setting up wifi (always do something wrong) and prefer wired ethernet. Plug and play everytime for me.
Hopefully ntromans will have a chance to play and confirm if it is a issue or not.

Think it now works for me, needed to remove bsdsockets error, put wifi details in and message no longer asks for bsdsockets.

I connected to my home Wi-Fi network, set up DHCP, and pinged the router. Unfortunately, there's no route to host. What about you?

Incredibly good news! Thank you.
Can we also expect all the contributed programs, compiled for the Arm64 architecture?

Hi,

Another developer, Jonx, has been working on Raspberry Pi 4 support, and it is now booting. Proper USB support should be ready in a couple of days.

There’s no audio, networking, or graphics driver support yet, apart from a framebuffer driver.

The plan is to make the port stable across the Pi 2–4, for both ARM and AArch64 with working networking, audio and 3D graphics.
If possible, Pi 5/500 support will follow after that.

Well!!! how about the RPi 400? Wink but I'll let the amazing person who did most of the heavy lifting behind this...

Just tested successfully working KB and Mouse on a 3B as well as a RPi 400. More news to come soon...

if AROS really works on ARM contrib should be created too

My test results on the RPi 3B+, NB090826:
- I can see Wanderer and use system programs!! Smile)))
- To see the Wanderer screen with icons, I have to close two console windows
- The official Raspberry Pi mouse works fine, as does another, less proprietary mouse
- The official Raspberry Pi keyboard causes the mouse pointer to freeze after about 10 seconds of being plugged into the USB port, or about 10 seconds of clicking the mouse if the computer was started with the keyboard plugged in
- The official Apple keyboard works correctly

It's amazing that there's a working AROS on ARM Smile If only there were Hollywood, something would get written...

In the latest build from August 9th, I found new .dbt files with the newer Raspberry Pi model numbers in their names, "4, 5, 500." Does this mean AROS will support the newer models?

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!

If you want, you can also try out the Wi-Fi driver. It's called bwfm.device (just select it from the list).
The setup should be the same as for any other Wi-Fi driver.

I guess there is no network software that makes it very useful though, but at least you can verify if you get an ip address or not.

once it could be shared on youtube, it would be awesome so people could see how AROS runs in such a tiny system

Some progress!! Here are my tests on a RPi 3B v 1.2 (not B+)

Quote

* Boot with both a mouse and keyboard connected.


Only mouse works. KB does not.

Quote

* Boot with only a mouse connected.


Mouse works!

Quote

* Boot with only a keyboard connected.


KB does not work

Quote

* Boot with neither connected, then hot-plug them after the system has booted.


Mouse works all the time. KB just refuses to work.

I have attached the error.log from Poseidon if it helps any.

Hi,

Pi 3B v1.2 with 6th August

Both - keyboard popup appeared and keyboard works but no mouse popup at first but does are multiple removals/reinsertions and mouse now active and mouse cursor works.
Only mouse - like above no initial popup but popups work after removal/reinsertions - mouse works and cursor moves
Only keyboard - no initial popup but popups work after removal/reinsertions - keyboard works now
Neither - keyboard / mouse works after being plugged in with popups for each

Think they are all low, and yes Trident shows them as low

FYi, HDMI and plugin audio works and VideoCore HDMI resolution can be changed

Hi all,

If anyone could test last night's build on a Pi 3B or 3B+, I would be very grateful:

https://sourcefor...2/download

Ideally, I'd like you to test the following scenarios:

* Boot with both a mouse and keyboard connected.
* Boot with only a mouse connected.
* Boot with only a keyboard connected.
* Boot with neither connected, then hot-plug them after the system has booted.

And, if you know this, report if it is a low or full speed device.

- Bo
