ROBUST is a compact, all-solid-state RISC OS computer
built around an overclocked ARM v8 processor capable
of running at up to 2.28 GHz. Encased in a sturdy
aluminium NUC-style chassis, it combines high-speed
components with practical design features to deliver both
reliability and performance
At its core, ROBUST uses a 32 GB eMMC flash drive for
boot and operating firmware—offering significantly faster
performance than conventional SD cards—paired with up
to 240 GB of SSD storage for applications, data, or even
a separate Linux installation accessible from within
RISC OS .
Its 4 GB of LPDDR4-3200 RAM ensures responsive
multitasking and smooth operation across complex tasks
Designed to run cool and quietly, ROBUST features both
a heatsink and a fan attached to its most heat-generating
components, along with intelligent CPU throttling to
manage temperatures under load
A built-in real-time clock keeps the system time accurate
even when the device is offline.
An innovative 1‑inch OLED display on the case provides
real-time system information at a glance—everything
from CPU speed and disk free space to IP address,
uptime, and even quirky metrics such as "days to
Christmas"
The aluminium case also supports dual 4K-capable
HDMI outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, optional Wi‑Fi, multiple
USB ports, audio over HDMI, and front/back panel
access for convenience
For users seeking a blend of rugged design, high-speed
computing, and system transparency, ROBUST offers a
compelling single-box solution—combining efficiency,
expandability, and modern connectivity in a handily sized
form factor.
PLEASE NOTE: This system does not use FAST
technology. The SATA drive is connected to RISC OS via
USB and formatted to FAT32 as standard.
