OpenELEC for Raspberry Pi

Posted on=A0March 9, 2012=A0by=A0liz

The guys at OpenELEC, an embedded OS built specifically to run XBMC,
have announced their first ARM port and with it,=A0support for Raspberry
Pi. (Please note that although their website says that they can only
support the Model B, the post was written just before we announced the
upgrade doubling the Model A=92s RAM.) I=92m a week or so late to the
party on this =96 apologies to Gimli and Stephan for the delay in
posting this while we wrestled with launch stuff here.

When a download is available (which should be pretty soon, and I
should point out that we have been the limiting factor here; we need
to get one of the boards with a replaced magjack out to the guys so
they can test it on a production board =96 that=92s Gimli=92s alpha board
you can see in the video), we=92ll be hosting it on our downloads page.

A quick word from Stephan:

What is OpenELEC?
OpenELEC is an embedded operating system built specifically to run
XBMC, the open source entertainment media hub. The idea behind
OpenELEC is to allow people to use their Home Theatre PC (HTPC) like
any other device you might have attached to your TV, like a DVD player
or Sky box. Instead of having to manage a full operating system,
configure it and install the packages required to turn it into a
hybrid media center, OpenELEC is designed to be simple to install,
manage and use, making it more like running a set-top box than a
full-blown computer.

OpenELEC is tiny, at=A085-115MB, and for RaspberryPi it comes in at only
70MB, which comprises the whole OS including XBMC, Python, and all
services/tools needed to run XBMC. This means that at the moment, it=92s
the smallest distro for Raspberry Pi that we=92ve seen.
