    You do not need pi or multi-user OS (as linux) in your case. You just need ESP32 MCU controller with sensors connected to it and a little bit of programming it. Google for ESP32 and NMEA on it. There are plenty of projects with open source code. One of them is SenESP.

    New release 2022-01-04 of Open-source Bareboat Necessities Marine OS for Raspberry Pi is available for downloads now. It still includes OpenCPN 5.2.4 because OpenCPN 5.6.0 still doesn’t have all plugins available. You can upgrade to OpenCPN to 5.6.0 easily with apt install and update all plugins via OCPN plugin manager. Release notes for this BBN release and links to Getting Started Guide and download locations: https://github.com/bareboat-necessities/lysmarine_gen/releases/tag/v2022-01-04 Thanks

    eMMC is still slower than SSD which you can have with Raspberry. Or you can have industrial raspberry with CM4 and eMMC. Multi-touch (pinch zoom) works with BBN OS too (including in OpenCPN). You can also connect Android tablet to it and fully control it from Raspberry pi screen with touch using scrcpy which is included in BBN OS. Android does have many good paid applications. With raspberry you have more options to connect sensors and pick interfaces for your needs. Unix is more open for scripting and automating things.

    I use Argonaut M7 on my boat https://www.argonautcomputer.com/products/m7-smart-touch-monitor installed inside a sailpod. Computer is installed below deck. There are many links for hardware options inside Getting Started Guide (Supported Hardware chapter)

    A diagram which illustrates what can you do with your boat systems using raspberry pi with BBN OS. There are way more (and cost effective) options than by just using commercial marine electronics. The more features you pick, the more benefits you are getting from using a raspberry pi. Especially if you are live-aboard type of user.

    If you want OpenCPN to work with touchscreen on raspberry pi then there is only one option: Bareboat Necessities Marine Linux OS. Do you know any other alternatives for it? Thx

    The fastest way at the moment to download BBN OS release is via script from release notes here: https://github.com/bareboat-necessities/lysmarine_gen/releases/tag/v2021-11-15 Thanks

    Let me know of any issues with BBN OS. I'll look at fixing them. Thanks

    There is no need to install OpenCPN or do anything with OpenGL settings in BBN OS. They are already preinstalled and pre-configured. As well as it has working (including in OpenCPN) pinch zoom on a touchscreen and right click is emulated by long touch. With openplotter or trying to do it yourself you will have many obstacles making it right. Openplotter is nearly unusable without mouse.
