Supporting the Rasperry?

The following, simple ARM based system – http://www.raspberrypi.org/
has an ARM chip, and would seem to be an ideal system on which RISC OS could run :)

Any thoughts?

It’s a shame though that someone won’t able to package it in an acorn-like case and call it
a ‘Lepton’… XD

A port is certainly a possibility, although I’m not sure whether everyone would agree with your assessment that it’s an ideal system for RISC OS ;-)

At this point I think most people are interested in devices with SATA for storage, and better video capabilities than 1080p@30fps.

But regardless of that… here’s a previous thread discussing the possibility of a Raspberry Pi port.

Well I have my reasons for wanting a Raspberry that works at TV res , not super-plasma;)

It’s partly that I want to have a system I can still program with an API I can actually understand,
and a GUI that isn’t hideously complex to do stuff in.. ;)

It’s partly so I don’t have to have 3 different monitors for various different platforms…
etc…

There are single-core ARM chips out there with SATA, USB, Ethernet, and so on running at 1.5GHz. I’d much prefer the next RISC OS port to target a platform with that sort of chip on it. Maybe even a dual core; we wouldn’t be able to use the second core initially but it’d be an option for the future.

That’s a reasonable point :)

Question, what would be an appropriate spec for a ‘Lepton’, which would need to cost less than 100UKP(retail).?
