How to Install ZiMAOS on Raspberry Pi 5

ZimaOS is for the X86/X64 platform, there is no ARM build so there is no way to install it on a Pi at this time.

Well, thanks。Is there a plan for this?

I do not work for IceWhale so cannot comment on any future plans.

CasaOS was build on Debian, Debian was already available as Raspbian for the Pi along with most of the libraries and drivers for hardware already available so it was relatively easy to port over.

ZimaOS is an embedded OS built on BuildRoot and was created to run on the hardware in the the Cube and ZimaBoard2. Embedded OS’s only include the drivers and libraries they need, so Its not as simple to port it to the Pi as a lot of underlying dependencies may not be there.

Could it happen, maybe, will it happen I cannot say.
