Jambula-OS

Jambula OS is a custom tailored Linux operating system designed for SoC devices such as the Raspberry Pi

It is mainly used by our company i.e. Jambula Labs to build smart devices such as JambulaTV, a low cost and smart home hub that automates several tasks in your house or apartment while providing security and privacy to you and your family. Read more about it at: https://jambulatv.com

Pre-requisites

Currently, Jambula OS (Pi Edition) is a console only platform running several open source and popular software services. There's an initial ncurses style based setup program that allows you to configure the functions that will be provided by your Raspberry Pi. However, in order to use it effectively, you need to already be familiar with using Linux on the command line interface (CLI).

You will also need a Raspberry Pi 5 device with all accessories required to boot including and SD card.
