NutPi DDE with a BeagleBoard

Dear all

I bought NutPi long time ago short after bying a RaspberryPi Model B.
Now, my preferred RiscOS hardware is a BeagleBoard-xM.
I am wondering whether the DDE I got with the NutPI is fully functional on the BB-xM? Is there limitation or incompatibilities compared to the version that can be bought alone from the RiscOS Open website.

A final question: which is the last version? I own version 24. Is there a benefit to upgrade?

Thank you for your help.

I am wondering whether the DDE I got with the NutPI is fully functional on the BB-xM? Is there limitation or incompatibilities compared to the version that can be bought alone from the RiscOS Open website.

The NutPi release software is (mostly)¹ locked to use on Pi hardware The idea is a cheaper set of software to match the cheapness of the Pi.

If you want to use the same software on a Beagleboard-xM then you need to buy the full price items.

A final question: which is the last version? I own version 24. Is there a benefit to upgrade?

Version 26 IIRC, various changes and fixes. If you run the DDE with the latest (2016) version ROM image then you may encounter zero page bugs in the current version.

¹ I say “mostly” as some items have no lock to the Pi hardware. Presumably the authors didn’t feel it was worth the effort of limiting the use of their software.
