I'd like to see Plan 9 being run on a portable device, and up until now I thought the only ways were to get an iPAQ (but are newer models compatible?) or to port 9vx to the iPhone (but does Apple's license allow that?). Can we use this board to make an alternative - the new bitsy? This seem

I've just discussed this with Charles. Vita has a thumb compiler (tc) which works with 5l. The Cortex-M3 is thumb-2 only so these two aren't quite sufficient, but a flag will help. brucee On Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 6:42 AM, Skip Tavakkolian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > this is what brucee said a wh
