RISC OS on Raspberry Pi

Monday 18th June 2012, 7:45pm

The Blue-Eyed Maid (upstairs in the Spice Lounge restaurant)
173 Borough High Street
London
SE1 1HR


This month has seen the first public release of a RISC OS ROM image
suitable for use on the Raspberry Pi.

Unlike previous development versions which required a special
serial connection for mouse and keyboard, it now has full USB
support and networking.

So at this month's meeting we will be showing how to get RISC OS
running on the Raspberry Pi and trying out some software to see how
close to a fully functional system it is.

There will also be at least one other Raspberry Pi running Linux
and a robot arm to play with :-)

Check the website for the latest news of what else will be on show,
as things are changing rapidly.

evening reliving your childhood!


The usual arrangements
======================

Admittance is free and everyone is welcome. A range of hot and cold
food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, will be on sale.

Anyone with wireless enabled handhelds or laptops can access the
internet during the meeting, or (if time allows) use ROUGOL's
RiscPC to do so after the main presentation has finished.

The venue is between London Bridge and Borough tube stations, so
readily accessible by public transport (both stations are a five
minute walk away, through well lit and CCTV'd main streets). It
also has ample cycle parking (covered by CCTV) very close by.

If you are arriving by car, the Congestion Charge ends at 6pm and
our meeting starts much later. However, please note that parking
on double red lines is restricted at all times. On single red or
yellow lines it is best to park after 7pm. If you are not familiar
with *central* London parking or driving, please allow extra time,
patience, and maps.

If you need any help reaching the venue, or any other information,
please contact us as below.
