AROS One / AROS One v1.0 64Bit (ABIv11) Released
« Last post by AMIGASYSTEM on May 15, 2025, 04:53:29 AM »



First version of AROS One v1.0 64-Bit (ABIv11) available for download

AROS 64-bit (ABIv11) is the result of several years of development by numerous AROS developers and the last six months of intensive testing, debugging and stabilisation. This initial release offers improved support for virtual environments (VirtualBox, VMware and QEMU) and for some, but not yet all, of the hardware components supported by the 32-bit version. To learn more about the developments planned for the coming months, please consult our Development Plan .

AROS One v1.0 incorporates the entire AROS 64-bit Build (ABIv11), and also includes all software available on Arosarchive and all software from the Contrib package dedicated to AROS 64-bit (ABIv11),

AROS One 64Bit is distributed with the graphical appearance, icons and scripts of version 2.8 of AROS One 32Bit.

The download is available both as an ISO version and as a USB Image version (Live Pendrive).

Since a few hours the download was available but blocked for testing purposes, I apologise to those who clicked and could not download it due to lack of permissions (I have already received some notifications from Google), from now on the download is available, but if problems should still arise due to too much traffic on Google Drive (as often happens on the first day), I recommend downloading at a less busy time or in the days to follow.

The OS4 versions are very old, on AROS OWB is much more advanced (also available in 64Bit), the current version is 2.1, version 2.5 is in the works.

If you want more detailed information on what is required or to discuss with deadwood, you should do so on this forum:

I am currently setting up Deadwoods cross development tools on ubuntu and rebuild.sh gives me two m68k core options. Where is the difference between them ? One is called classic.
following this: https://arosnews.github.io/how-to-cross-compile-aros-hosted-wsl/

next question.. I found owb 1.9 sources which confuses me as hell.. OS4 has a 3.x version but I can't find the sources. Odyssey from Deadwood looks totally different (I don't mean Zune / UI but the code base itself). If I check 1.9 from here http://fabportnawak.free.fr/owb/src/ I can see that the Big and little endian stuff is handled as well as OS specific changes. My plan would be to add AROS m68k specific changes to get it running on virtual, fpga or ARM powered classics.

Now I am thinking to start from 1.9 source (for classics less is more anyway). Any thoughts ? I would put it on GitHub so if someone likes to dig through it you are welcome.

AROS One / Re: AROS One v2.8 x86 32Bit ABIv0 Released
« Last post by AMIGASYSTEM on May 02, 2025, 12:05:01 PM »
Which AROS One v2.8 archive did you download? can you provide the link

On AROS One, no .tgz file exists !

Bin volume on AROS One is already assigned, see Package-Startup file located in the path Extras/Development/S/Package-Startup

Love the distro btw, found a small problem though when unzipping .tgz files, a requester for "Insert bin:"

Solved with a simple "Assign bin: c:" in startupsequence, so no big problem,
something to fix for the next release

Thanks for your hard work

I didn't quite understand what you wanted to do, so let's continue the discussion on the arosworld reference site where you might get some more help! this site is currently blocked for new users!

Are you running AROS 32bit or AROS v11 64bit? Do you run QEmu from Windows or Linux?

32 bit AROS v0. Linux.

QEmu can run AROS directly see attached video:

I know, I'm AROS developer, but not really active since long time.

The idea with qemu user mode wouid just to be to have a "68k hosted AROS" (or "PPC hosted AROS) without the need
to run it on a full 68k Linux/BSD/whatever host OS (either on real machine or emulated).

General Chat / Running AROS hosted in qemu user mode emulation
« Last post by aros-sg on April 24, 2025, 02:19:24 AM »
Hi

Out of curiosity I tried running AROS Linux hosted i386 under qemu-i386 (emulates only cpu, not a whole system) on x64 computer.
It boots up into Wanderer but there's some issues with filesystem. Doesn't find files, etc. Also in shell.

That's with 8.2.9 version of qemu-i386. Has someone tried with newer version?

If there was (as used to be) working m68k hosted or ppc hosted Linux version of AROS, one could use qemu-m68k or qemu-ppc to
run 68k (also Amiga 68k) or PPC compiled programs (only AROS, not MOS or AOS4) on x64 computer with cpu emulation only,
no system emulation (like UAE).
