PiRO Noir
The Expandable Beast on a Budget.
Overclockable BCM2711 ARM v8 processor, up to 2.1GHz
RISC OS 5.28 and 2GB of software as standard on a 64GB uSD
2GB of fast LPDDR4- 3200 memory
Optional SSD Base for high capacity storage
Fast. Slim. Expandable.
At only 38mm in height, the PiRO Noir can control a range of additional peripherals using both USB and GPIO. No longer relying on 26bit podules for expansion, it can make use of additional USB drives using SCSIFS, and a whole range of connected peripherals. It even has easy-to-access GPIO to the side of the case.
Processing
Slim and slick.
PiRO Noir features high-performance DDR4 memory, which, combined with the state of the art ARM CPU, all adds up to faster processing. With 2GB of fast RAM, PiRO Noir capable of more than you can possibly imagine in RISC OS.
Storage
Super Turbo Drive System.
With a combination of a fast micro SD card and our optional high capacity SSD add on, the PiRO Noir can store all of your necessary apps and files, and load them in super quick time. For users with access to disc-intensive applications, like modern web browsers, the SSD can operate as traditional filecore storage, or as a Super Turbo Drive which loads them even faster than native SATA drives on some of the slower CPU RISC OS machines. And expanding your storage is easy - simply replace the STD with one with more capacity.
Temperature Control
Active Cooling.
The PiRO Noir comes complete with passive cooling heatsinks attached to all of the components that produce the most heat. When utilised with CPU throttling when idle, the system remains cool in use. But just in case, there’s a software controlled PWM-fan built into the heatsink, for when things really start hotting up.
Productivity
Power to the desktop.
Utilising the flexibility and speed of RISC OS, combined with the processing power and robust storage, the Pi Hard helps you become a more efficient RISC OS user. Not to mention 4k resolutions for extreme productivity.
