With BBN OS you can build a central boat computer. BBN OS is free and open source. It is based on commonly used community supported open source projects such as SignalK, PyPilot, OpenCPN, and others. BBN OS graphical user interface will let you build a cockpit front-end to all functionality of the OS from chartplotting, dashboards, weather, etc.

What is BBN Marine OS

What started as an effort to build a marine linux OS turned out into much more interesting. Our focus was to build a marine computer OS to be used on boats for the navigation and on touch screens in a cockpit of a boat. By nature marine navigation is very demanding. Much more demanding than a car computer. There was a need for:

We would think our distribution can serve as a basis for others interested to build either:

The code for building this distribution is easily customizable following instructions below. You do not have to build it on your own ARM hardware. The process described below explains how you can make it to build it directly from your source code on GitHib via CircleCi and distribute it on CloudSmith or other place. It doesn't take that much effort or coding, some dedication required (surely).

Download

To get start it's easier to download pre-built image using the links below (or you can build your own following instructions in the next chapter). CircleCI is the tool which is used to create the OS image.

NOTE: Do not forget to set Wi-Fi country after the installation.

This is the fork of the original LysMarine https://github.com/lysmarine/lysmarine_gen by Frederic Guilbault. It is based on the LysMarine OS, but differs from it in a number of included applications, and the UI features. Now it is a distinct OS image.

Another useful resource is our previous project (see: https://bareboat-necessities.github.io/my-bareboat/). Although it is based on OpenPlotter it still is useful to understand hardware and software set up of your marine raspberry pi.
