Samsung sees the popular Raspberry Pi board as a way for a potentially large number of enthusiasts to develop products with the Tizen OS.

For that purpose, the company initiated a port of Tizen 3.0 OS to Raspberry Pi. It is now possible to create custom versions of the latest Tizen OS for the development board through tools provided by Linux-based collaboration projects.
