The current build targets the Pi3, with forum discussion around expanding support to the Pi4 and Zero2W. Software availability on ARM is still limited compared to the x86 port, and the project is described as early and in progress. AROS has previously been ported to x86, PowerPC (feeding into MorphOS), original 68k Amiga hardware, and RISC-V. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Can AROS run bare-metal on a Raspberry Pi instead of being virtualized under Linux? Yes, AROS has been ported to boot bare-metal on the Raspberry Pi in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Previously, running AROS on a Pi required virtualizing it inside Linux, similar to other Amiga emulators. The current bare-metal port targets the Raspberry Pi 3, with forum discussion about extending support to the Pi4 and Zero2W. _Retrocomputing tinkerers exploring bare-metal Amiga-style OS ports can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ### What platforms has the AROS operating system been ported to besides x86? AROS has been ported to PowerPC (contributing code used in MorphOS), back-ported to original 68k Amiga hardware, built for RISC-V, and now ported to run bare-metal on the Raspberry Pi in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Software availability on ARM is still less complete than on the x86 build. _Anyone tracking niche OS ports across architectures can keep up with projects like AROS on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Your Raspberry Pi Can Be a Real Desktop \(If You Pick the Right OS\)](https://daily.dev/posts/your-raspberry-pi-can-be-a-real-desktop-if-you-pick-the-right-os--vfa1itswm) · It's Foss · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Releases · rochus-keller/OberonSystem3Native](https://daily.dev/posts/releases-rochus-keller-oberonsystem3native-k8gmreshc) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [A native Raspberry Pi 3B version of the Oberon System 3](https://daily.dev/posts/a-native-raspberry-pi-3b-version-of-the-oberon-system-3-fj1vwmzh6) · Adafruit Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Having fun with Quartex Pascal](https://daily.dev/posts/having-fun-with-quartex-pascal-qlly5uxoh) · Quartex Pascal · 6 upvotes · 1 comments - [Picking the wrong Raspberry Pi OS will kill your first project faster than bad hardware ever could](https://daily.dev/posts/picking-the-wrong-raspberry-pi-os-will-kill-your-first-project-faster-than-bad-hardware-ever-could-a6svqwxbn) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#raspberry-pi](https://daily.dev/tags/raspberry-pi), [#arm](https://daily.dev/tags/arm) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/amiga-inspired-aros-goes-bare-metal-on-raspberry-pi-k2biaoxq7) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Amiga-Inspired AROS Goes Bare Metal On Raspberry Pi","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/amiga-inspired-aros-goes-bare-metal-on-raspberry-pi-k2biaoxq7","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amiga-inspired-aros-goes-bare-metal-on-raspberry-pi-k2biaoxq7"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T14:12:01.072Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T19:33:24.568Z","description":"The AROS Research Operating System, a modern reimplementation of AmigaOS, has been ported to run bare-metal on the Raspberry Pi in both 32-bit and 64-bit...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/f36863e01b7b3b930f29e3c903163aee?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/f36863e01b7b3b930f29e3c903163aee?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Hackaday","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Hackaday","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--JhDfhy70--/f_auto,q_auto/v1767541814/logos/hackaday","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/hackaday"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/amiga-inspired-aros-goes-bare-metal-on-raspberry-pi-k2biaoxq7","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"raspberry-pi,arm","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Hackaday","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/hackaday"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Amiga-Inspired AROS Goes Bare Metal On Raspberry Pi"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amiga-inspired-aros-goes-bare-metal-on-raspberry-pi-k2biaoxq7#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Can AROS run bare-metal on a Raspberry Pi instead of being virtualized under Linux?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, AROS has been ported to boot bare-metal on the Raspberry Pi in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
