Thanks for the pointer. I'll definitely check that out. I'm hoping to expose them to a little bit of working in the kernel anyway, but don't want to take so much of the quarter's time as to get them to the point where they can write their own drivers. So depending on where plan9-bcm stands, it might be just right. > I like ODROID hardware, but obviously there > isn't a Plan 9 port for it. True. Though in looking into some stuff on the Banana Pi, I've seen indications that it supposedly can run at least one ODROID image and it claims to be basically RPi compatible. If all that's true (and things work out ideally) the Plan9 RPi port might not be all that far away from running on it. > Arduino Yún (MIPS+AVR) could make a cool device for Plan 9, > but the MIPS part of the hardware is closed.

I'd not seen these before. Keep us posted on your progress on it. that would be a lot of fun to play with. BLS
