Hi Chuck, I can’t see in the web any open source choice for MPE/iX. It seems that the only reliable one could be the Charon-PAR from Stromasys, but it appears to be on payment only

Thank you for your notice, David. I will try to test the new version ASAP, so updating the tutorial. Have you already tested it?

This works with 64bit RaspberryOs (Lite/Desktop) out of the package. You can even upgrade with the hercules helper https://github.com/wrljet/hercules-helper to the newest Hercules version by copy the compiled binary to TK4 instance.
