Raspberry Pi hardware compatibility list (Rev #1)

Working

The following devices are known to work with RISC OS 5.24 on the Raspberry Pi.

This list is incomplete, but we have to start somewhere…

• FAT16/FAT32 formatted HD/SSD drives and memory sticks
• Filecore formatted HD/SSD drives and memory sticks
• Memory card readers ¹
• Keyboards ²
• Mice (3-button, with or without a scroll wheel)
• CD and DVD drives
• Iomega ZIP drives
• SD and SDHC cards ³

¹ Some memory card readers present as multiple disc drives for different card types. Trying to use a “7-in-1” card reader could cause SCSIFS to run out of drive numbers.

² Standard (e.g. 105-key) keyboards will work. Keys over and above the standard set (e.g. “multimedia” keys) may not work, and more arcane keyboards (e.g. with “intelligent touch bars”) are right out.

³ SDXC cards are exFAT-formatted by default. If the card is reformatted to FAT32 it can be used.

Not working

• Floppy disc drives ⁴
• exFAT, NTFS, APFS, ext3 (etc.) media

⁴ Work is underway to offer support for DOS-format floppies, but the technical limitations of the USB floppy specification means that ADFS-format floppies will not be supported in the foreseeable future.
