Description

The Organelle_OS repository carried a separate platform folder for the original Organelle up to its v4.0 tag, and Critter & Guitari's manual for the original unit links the OG1-4.0 disk image as the current release, with OG1-3.1 as the previous one. Version 5 of the OS dropped support for this model.

Install notes

Download the OG1 image linked in section 7.1 of the Organelle 1 manual, write the zipped file with balenaEtcher to a microSD card of 8 GB or more (do not unzip it first, as the manual instructs), reinsert it and check the version under Settings > Info. This erases the card.
