This is RISC OS for the Raspberry Pi. For our latest release, select RISC OS under ‘Other General Purpose OS’ in the Raspberry Pi Imager application to easily prepare a card for your Pi today. If you’re not a fan of downloading, installing and configuring stuff, you can order it pre-installed on 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.
For additional downloads appropriate to all platforms, please see this page. |  |
