Would it be possible to virtualize RISCOS? By that, I mean give it a core and a few hundred MB of RAM on a Raspberry Pi 2, and let it do its thing to a display under Linux?
(as you can tell, I know little of the technical requirements here …)
RISCOS virtualization?

Re: RISCOS virtualization?
Linux as in x86?
You're going to need to use QEMU. There are tutorials on how to do this for Raspbian, they shouldn't be very different for RISCOS. Look around on Google.

There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Re: RISCOS virtualization?
No, Linux like Raspbian on an arm7, as in the Raspberry Pi 2. Not emulation.kusti8 wrote:Linux as in x86?
Now, if the processor doesn't support virtualization, then we are likely out of luck.

Re: RISCOS virtualization?
Possible? Probably, though the amount of work needed to do so would be huge at the least, and it would slow down RISC OS.
What do you need linux for so much that you would make this sacrifice?

With Qemu KVM, you can run RISC OS for BeagleBoard without modification!DavidS wrote:Possible? Probably, though the amount of work needed to do so would be huge at the least, and it would slow down RISC OS.

Looks like this might actually be happening: TimothyEBaldwin/RISC_OS_Linux_Source: Linux port of RISC OS.
It might not be quite at the "open RISC OS as a window on my Raspbian desktop" stage that I'd hoped for back in 2015, but it's a start.
You do need to buy the £50 proprietary Desktop Development Environment to build it, though.
