I saw this a little while ago: mntmn: "RISC OS is the first alternative operating system…" - Mastodon
Is there any publicly available boot image or instructions to build one somewhere? I’d love to play with that.

I’m currently checking with the author of the code if and how it’s possible to release this.
That would be pretty cool, we worked with that back in the late 80ies
Hi. Is there any info about progress with RISC OS for reform? Is it possible?
A build will be published soon.
Hello. Just checking to see if there is any news about a RISC OS image for Reform?
it was mentioned pretty vaguely on the the openriscos forum quite a while ago, the consensus there seems to be that Reform hardware is not worth the expense and therefore it isn’t a priority target at all. There has been no apparent activity at all since it originally was shown to boot on Reform.
At this point I don’t expect it to go anywhere unfortunately.
Please edit and reword your sentence about the forum (inflammatory).
I have a working binary of RiscOS for Reform but not the driver sources, as the licensing was unclear. Also, the version does not bring up the display itself, it relies on u-boot to set up the framebuffer. Several people have attempted to set up the internal display in u-boot (instead of HDMI) and didn’t succeed. cinap_lenrek has recently written a working internal display driver for 9front from scratch—so if someone would backport this work into u-boot, RiscOS would also work on the internal display. Another solution is to kexec RiscOS from 9front.
I apologise, I was just stating how the thread came across to me. I’ve edited it, hopefully its better now
Based on what I read its unclear how useful RISCOS would even be on Reform without an awful lot of work and further development.
