How do i make the Raspberry Pi use a Custom OS - raspberry-pi

I have made an OS is cosmos, but I cant seem to get the Raspberry Pi to actually boot the OS up. I made a bootable SD card and USB stick but the raspberry pi doesn't load anything up.

Cosmos os only supports the x86 processor type. All versions of the raspberry pi either use ARM_6 or ARM_7. A completely different type. So what I'm saying is Cosmos OS won't work on your raspberry pi because it was made for computers with a different type of computer chip. For your raspberry pi I suggest you use raspian which is the operating system the Raspberry Pi Foundation suggests using. You can download it here.

Raspberry Pi Pico - Install External Libraries/API

I need to use a device to connect and control via a Raspberry Pi Pico.
The device has its own libraries and API with the commands needed to operate it, I have already done this procedure on a Raspberry Pi Zero W on Raspbian by downloading and compiling the API for this device and it works.
How can I compile or install these libraries so that the commands are recognised on the script to be uploaded to the Raspberry Pi Pico, as it does not have an operating system?
Thank you

is it possible to develop games with Unity Game Engine on Raspberry Pi 4B

I am interested in game development, but my main computer is a raspberry pi 4B, and I won't be upgrading for a while. I am hoping to upgrade eventually, but for now I would like a solution for running Unity Engine on my Raspberry Pi 4B. performance is not my worry, I am overclocking to 2ghz and am using a lightweight desktop. I will only be doing 2d on my pi, but I want to use unity so that i don't have a massive learning curve when I hopefully upgrade and am able to do 3d.
Thanks!
In theory, it should be possible since Raspberry PI supports the Ubuntu Desktop operating system and so does Unity. Though, I haven't personally tested this out.
So that means that you would need to install Ubuntu on your Raspberry PI device and then install Unity Hub and then a version of the Unity editor.

Raspberry Pi 4 Bluetooth LE (BLE) Mesh with nRF52832

I'd like to use Raspberry Pi 4 to collect data from several BLE mesh supported devices (beacons) that uses a chip like nRF52832, nRF52833 or nRF52840.
I know that Pi 4 comes with bluetooth 5.0.
My question is, can I use Pi 4 as it is without any hat, cape etc. connected to collect data from the beacons that uses those chips and communicates by using the BLE mesh technology.
Yes, you should be able to use the Raspberry Pi for mesh functionality depending on the version of BlueZ that is available there. Mesh functionality was initially added in BlueZ v5.47 (September 2017) and subsequent versions of BlueZ have had bug fixes and additions to this feature. You can find more information here:-
http://www.bluez.org/
You can check the version of BlueZ that is on your Raspberry Pi through the following command:-
bluetoothctl --version
I hope this helps.

Boot another OS while in Raspberry Pi Raspbian

I have two OS's Raspbian and RetroPie. Both are store on two separate micro SD cards. I have a Retropie's SD card connected to a usb adapter. In the picture you can see that the file is right above the terminal window. Right now if I want to switch back and forth I have to take the Raspbian SD card out of my Raspberry Pi and put in the RetroPie's SD card. I'm wondering if there's a way that I can just boot it through Raspbian. Any ideas?
I don't think the Raspberry Pi supports booting from USB but if you had a large enough SD card you could dual boot from the same SD card using NOOBS.
You will find everything you need here : HOW TO BOOT FROM A USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE ON A RASPBERRY PI3
But you will always need an SD card at the beginning. I think some people booted pi1 and 2 with usb by putting special boot files into the SD card. Needless to say, it will be easier with a pi3 !

Running gwan on raspberry pi?

Tried the 32bit gwan on raspberry pi but got cannot execute binary file.
Any ways to run on wheeze raspberry pi?
Will be great if we can do test on it.
While Raspberry Pi computers uses ARM CPUs you are using a version of G-WAN compiled for Intel-compatible CPUs.
This just cannot work (unless the Raspberry Pi is running an x86 CPU emulator).
