Everything you need to install Orbit OS on your device and start building.
⬇️ Orbit OS Installer
A single .run file installs Gravity RT and all system services on your device.
It runs on top of your existing Linux installation — no reflashing required.
On first run, it installs dependencies via apt and configures the runtime automatically.
Subsequent updates are delivered as .orbit files via the Store or locally through Settings.

Community Edition · ARM64, ARM32, x86_64 · ~25 MB
Supported: Raspberry Pi 3/4/5/Zero 2W · Arduino UNO Q
🔧 Tools
Standalone tools for working with Orbit OS devices — package inspection, signing, and diagnostics. Available independently of the SDK.
orb-inspect
Inspect and validate .orb package contents, manifest, and signature.
orb-sign
Sign .orb packages with a development certificate for local installation.
📄 Documentation
Downloadable reference documentation for offline use — architecture overviews, API references, and integration guides.
Orbit OS — Platform Overview
Architecture, Gravity RT, .orb model, permissions, trust model, and OTA updates. PDF.
Orbit OS — SDK Reference
Full API reference for all supported languages and hardware capabilities. PDF.
Orbit OS — Getting Started Guide
Step-by-step installation, first access, Store setup, and Developer Mode. PDF.
🛠️ SDK
Build applications and tools that run on or connect to Orbit OS devices.
All SDKs expose the same unified device API — GPIO, PWM, I²C, UART, Camera, AI, and more.
Code written with the SDK in Developer Mode runs identically when deployed as a .orb package in production.
