- deaddodo 8y agoThe Application Server is in progress, but it builds. The problem is that on x86, you can fall back on the BIOS w/ VESA to display video; while ARM lacks that functionality. If you can find/build a video driver it should Just Work(tm). You can see the current video drivers here: https://github.com/haiku/haiku/blob/master/build/jam/images/definitions/regular#L205 https://github.com/haiku/haiku/blob/master/build/jam/images/... Which are all x86/amd64-based. The RPi would actually be relatively simple to throw a framebuffer video driver together for, though: * https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/screen01.html https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/s... * https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/wiki https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/wiki * https://github.com/dwelch67/raspberrypi/tree/master/video01 https://github.com/dwelch67/raspberrypi/tree/master/video01
