Compatibility with Raspberry Pi B1 #90
-
|
Hello, me again. I was wondering if this would work on a Raspberry Pi model B, or if any of the other AxOS operating systems would? To be honest the standard pi operating system is rubbish, its clever, but doesn't seem to manage to open a window until 20 seconds later. |

Hey! Sleex is designed for ARMv7+ devices (like Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4). The original Raspberry Pi Model B uses an ARMv6 CPU, so it's not officially supported. You might get lucky if you try the generic ARM image, but booting may fail due to missing bootloader support. For decent performance, a Pi 3 or newer is recommended. If you're stuck with a Pi B, you could try building Sleex from source targeting armv6, but that's a significant effort and not guaranteed. The AxOS project does have other OS variants—check the releases page for any armv6 builds or community ports. Hope that points you in the right direction! |

Also note that it never got tested and I made it exclusively for AxOS (x86_64). Proceed with caution. |
