RISC OS 5.24 approaches

I thought the HAL for the Pi covered more than just the one SoC.

Yes, sort of, kinda.

Isn’t the Pi family basically the same SoC with differing ARM cores? That’s why even the ARMv8 version has the same single USB port; though it looks like this finally got upgraded in the 3+ (to a faster single USB port)…

There is still this rather aggravating issue.

I’m getting a bit concerned; the newly-updated Products file is now pointing to the “bad” BCMVideo 0.49…

Not sure for iMX6, but I hope that OMAP5 and Titanium are green now.
For RK3288, we’ll have to wait a bit…
And perhaps more for H3/H5 :)

Great successes for RISC OS. The most available OS present on ARM… after Linux/Android.
Is it?

For RK3288, we’ll have to wait a bit…

Haha :D

Our latest update has now been uploaded.

The fifth item down… is that avoidance of 1 Infinite Loop?

Our latest update has now been uploaded.

Any news on the BCMVideo “crash” issue? The silence, as they say, is deafening.

If you mean the issue where on a Raspberry Pi with gamma correction, the video stops working after a few hours, then this issue is being actively investigated – notably with the Raspberry Pi firmware developers. At present, it is not considered a blocking issue because the easy work-around is to disable gamma correction.

OK, so you’re aware of it; that’s good to hear :)

A Pi OS5.24 ROM has been built here from cvs. Gamma is disabled as expected. Details below.

Thanks all round for OS5.24, and everything else.

Shouldn’t the version number change from 0.50?

Does this topic still need to be sticky.

Time to unstick and, optionally, replace with “RO5.28 approaches” over on Announcements.

Whatever it is stuck on with could prove to be a very useful adhesive. Where can I buy some?
