For which we can all be grateful. "General use" is not a good thing to be desired. One of the biggest reasons I moved away from Linux was that it was becoming too mainstream for me. > Inferno, dis and 9p seem like a good fit for > embedded devices, Very true. > So I’d like to know if anyone here knows about > recent efforts to run Inferno on other tiny > machines... Not particularly recent, but several years ago I ported Inferno to the SunSPOT device. As I recall, the version I was using had 1MB of RAM and 4MB of flash. It took some squeezing (like severely reducing the size of the ARP tables), but I did get it running including IPv6 over the 802.15.4 radio in it. BLS
