RISC OS Moonshot: A 64-bit Migration
2025-03-30
RISC OS Open Limited (ROOL) has launched a 'Moonshot' initiative to port RISC OS to 64-bit Arm architectures. This marks a strategic shift from incremental development to large-scale engineering efforts for the aging operating system. The move is crucial for RISC OS's future, as platforms like the Raspberry Pi are transitioning to 64-bit processors. ROOL is seeking funding, engineers, and community support to accomplish this ambitious project, with all deliverables to be open-sourced.
