Updates on the ROOL website

Posted by Steve Revill Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:51:00 GMT

In advance of the London Show this weekend, RISC OS Open have updated a large number of the downloads to the latest and greatest versions.

All of the source code archives are automatically updated each night but prebuilt items, such as ROM images and applications, are only updated when we perform builds.

To assist with the on-going work on the Beagleboard, all of our pre-built components are now ARMv7 safe and the OMAP ROM build is up to date. We’ve updated the RISC OS 5.15 ROM build (for IYONIX softload) to use the latest sources in CVS, too.
