Hi all,
Can anyone help shed some light in my search for a "low power" minimal
plan 9 hardware setup to start experimenting with. Has anyone had
success running plan 9 on a Fit PC (the only atom box we have access to)?
Gumstix would be ideal, but their plan 9 support is a bit half baked
right now. Wireless support would be a huge plus.
We are trying to do a bit of research into robotic applications of plan
9. The p9 filesystem protocol seems like a real neat method to acquire
resources of nearby "bots". Allowing for very minimal, modularized robot
configurations.
Any tips? Am I out of my mind?
Thanks,
Jason
Jason,
I am currently attempting a little ROV using some 9p for control, but I
am using inferno hosted on linux. That might be the quicker way to get
your 'bots speaking 9p. I am doing this because right off the bat I
need a webcam. I also need to prototype this very quickly so mucking
about in hardware drivers and OS nuances is not an option.
Sounds like fun! I'm curious what you come up with!
