A release (Preview Release) of BBN Marine OS for Raspberry Pi, now fully 64-bit and based on Bullseye
is available for downloads at 

https://cloudsmith.io/~bbn-projects/repo...n-bullseye

While it needs more testing, it's performance looks much better than the previous stable Buster-based version.

There are also some new features:

- Victron Web UI interface
- HF Propagation Web UI
- Clock (With timer and alarm)
- TODO list application

There is a number of important issues addressed:

- Boot speed when not connected to a network
- Better touchscreen detection
- Better auto-detection of pypilot hardware
- OpenGL performance is much better in a number of applications (Chromium, Stellarium, and more)

More add-ons.

Many OpenCPN plugins and SignalK plugins are included.

HomeAssistant and JellyFin are on the image. They just need activation via add-ons.


BBN OS is completely free and opensource. Free downloadable SD card image. Extensive documentation is available.

Give this image a try, and report bugs to help making it a stable version soon.

Thanks

Since Raspberry Pi is hard to find which other boards are you using? I'm considering creating Armbian based
version too.

The list of boards I consider is here: https://github.com/bareboat-necessities/...issues/255

It needs to be narrowed down to few.
