RISC OS coming to iMX8M (and thus MNT Reform) thanks to work by Michael Grunditz.

RISC OS was originally developed by Acorn Computers in Cambridge (UK). ARM was originally the “Acorn RISC Machine”.

@flame @mntmn I've been working on a Mastodon client for Riscos. It has been quite fun.

What is the imx8m? What kinds of boards can I get with them?

@mntmn @flame Sounds neat, I might buy one. As nice as Rasperry pi is, they are behaving somewhat badly at times so supporting other vendors is probably a good idea.

@loke @mntmn @flame They are automotive industrial grade CPUs so don't be surprised by the price tags.
