Samsung has this week announced it has ported the Tizen 3.0 OS to Raspberry Pi, enabling those interested and equipped with the right tools to be able to create their own versions of the operating system for the awesome mini PC.
The Tizen operating system was first launched by Samsung back in 2012 and takes the form of an open-source list-based operating system that shares some of the same applications that can be found in Android and even bears a little resemblance to Google’s operating system. Tizen is known for its versatility and has been used in a variety of devices, including smartphones, smart TVs, wearables, and even in-car infotainment systems.
Compatibility and Support
As well as supporting Tizen, the awesome Raspberry Pi mini PC, which is available to purchase for around $35, also supports Raspbian and Ubuntu Linux kernels as well as Microsoft’s Windows 10 IoT Core. This makes the Raspberry Pi a highly versatile platform for developers and hobbyists alike. Independent developers are also contributing to port Tizen to the MIPS architecture, further expanding its reach and usability.
The Raspberry Pi has been a favorite among tech enthusiasts due to its affordability and flexibility. It has been used in a wide range of projects, from simple DIY electronics to complex robotics. The addition of Tizen 3.0 OS to its list of supported operating systems opens up new possibilities for innovation and experimentation.
Tools and Resources
Previously, releases of the Tizen operating system have been able to be loaded onto the Raspberry Pi mini PC, but now, thanks to tools from Yocto and OpenEmbedded, a full-fledged Tizen operating system is available for the Raspberry Pi. Yocto and OpenEmbedded are powerful tools that help in creating custom Linux-based systems, making it easier for developers to tailor the Tizen OS to their specific needs.
For more information on the new Tizen 3.0 OS for Raspberry Pi, you can jump over to the official Samsung Tizen website. The website provides detailed documentation, tutorials, and resources to help you get started with Tizen on your Raspberry Pi. Whether you are a seasoned developer or a beginner, the resources available can guide you through the process of setting up and customizing your Tizen OS.
The porting of Tizen 3.0 to Raspberry Pi is a significant step in promoting the adoption of the Tizen OS. By making it accessible to the Raspberry Pi community, Samsung hopes to attract more developers to explore and contribute to the Tizen ecosystem. This move could potentially lead to a wider range of applications and innovations built on the Tizen platform.
The availability of Tizen 3.0 OS for Raspberry Pi is an exciting development for both the Tizen and Raspberry Pi communities. It offers new opportunities for creativity and innovation, allowing developers to leverage the strengths of both platforms. Whether you are looking to build a new smart device, experiment with IoT applications, or simply explore a new operating system, Tizen 3.0 on Raspberry Pi provides a robust and flexible foundation to build upon.
