Showing changes from revision #0 to #1: Added | Removed | Changed

Overview

This is the stable release of RISC OS for the Kinetic RiscPC and emulators such as RPCEmu. It includes a flash programming tool for the Kinetic RiscPC only.

If you have an A7000/A7000+, a RiscPC 600, RiscPC 700, or StrongArm Risc PC, you should consider either the softload version of the download or purchasing the ROMs instead.

Before installing this upgrade, you will need to ensure the !Boot sequence has been updated such that no 26 bit applications are run that might otherwise halt booting. For this reason you are strongly advised to try out the softload on a Kinetic RiscPC before reprogramming flash memory.

Installing the software

On a Kinetic RiscPC, use the flash programming tool provided in the archive.

On RPCEmu, install the ROM image in the “roms” folder. Delete (or move elsewhere) any other ROM images already in that folder.

Network interface cards

Where networking is required, use of a network interface card (NIC) residing in the motherboard socket is recommended.

For a list of supported Ethernet cards, see Software information: RiscPC: NIC drivers.

Obtaining the software

Go to RiscPC downloads and download the IOMD stable (flash prog) archive.
