ZimaOS is evolved from CasaOS, and we have built a release version of ZimaOS for better hardware compatibility and update experience. It will perfectly adapt to the Zima series hardware and also be compatible with x86-64 systems with UEFI.\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n   \u003cimg alt=\"ZimaOS feature image\" src=\"./assets/20250926-154629.png\" \u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\nIt is built using Buildroot and has stable OTA update functionality. Based on CasaOS, we have built a series of new applications. You can find the specific differences between it and CasaOS from the table below:\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n   \u003cimg alt=\"ZimaOS vs CasaOS differences\" src=\"./assets/20241126-144801.jpeg\" width=\"640\" \u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n## Discussion\n\nThis project is just for releasing test images, if you want to discuss related issues, feel free to go to our forum.\n[Icewhale Community](https://icewhale.community/t/welcome-to-the-zimaos-open-beta-program/295)\n\n## Distribution Features\n\n- Lightweight and memory-efficient\n- Minimized I/O\n- Over The Air (OTA) updates\n- Offline updates\n- Better disk management capabilities\n\n## Supported hardware\n\n- ZimaBoard\n- ZimaBoard2\n- ZimaBlade\n- ZimaCube\n- Generic x86-64 (e.g. Intel NUC)\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Installation\n\n1. Preparation\n   - Enable UEFI boot in BIOS/UEFI and disable Secure Boot.\n   - Back up any important data on the target drive. The selected disk will be erased.\n\n2. Download the image\n   - Open [`Releases`](https://github.com/IceWhaleTech/ZimaOS/releases/latest) and download the installer image.\n   - Pick the file named `zimaos_XXXXX_installer.img` (`XXXXX` varies by version).\n\n3. Create the USB installer\n   - Use Balena Etcher (Windows/macOS/Linux): [`https://etcher.balena.io/`](https://etcher.balena.io/)\n   - Steps:\n     1) Launch Etcher.\n     2) Select the downloaded `*.img` file.\n     3) Choose the target USB drive (verify the correct device).\n     4) Click Flash, wait for completion, then safely eject the USB drive.\n\n   \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg alt=\"Balena Etcher: select image\" src=\"./assets/etcher_1.png\" width=\"640\"\u003e\n   \u003c/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg alt=\"Balena Etcher: select target USB drive\" src=\"./assets/etcher_2.png\" width=\"640\"\u003e\n   \u003c/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg alt=\"Balena Etcher: review selection\" src=\"./assets/etcher_3.png\" width=\"640\"\u003e\n   \u003c/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg alt=\"Balena Etcher: flashing in progress\" src=\"./assets/etcher_4.png\" width=\"640\"\u003e\n   \u003c/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg alt=\"Balena Etcher: flash complete\" src=\"./assets/etcher_5.png\" width=\"640\"\u003e\n   \u003c/div\u003e\n\n4. Install ZimaOS\n   - Insert the USB installer into the target device (Zima hardware or generic x86‑64 PC).\n   - Open the BIOS/Boot Menu and boot from the USB device in UEFI mode.\n   - Follow the on‑screen installer to select the target disk and confirm installation (this erases the disk).\n   - When installation completes, reboot as prompted and remove the USB installer.\n   - Boot from the installed disk (UEFI) to start ZimaOS and finish the initial setup.\n\n[ZimaOS.webm](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cb81bf93-a89b-46a8-afc6-056efb5483e3)\n\n## Installation on Proxmox\n\n[Follow the link](https://github.com/IceWhaleTech/zimaos-rauc/issues/5).
