PilMCU is dead - Long live PilOS!

2015-06-19 Thread Alexander Burger
Hi all, I'm happy to announce PilOS - The PicoLisp Operating System! It is a modification of the infamous PilMCU, which unfortunately doesn't seem to get off the ground. So in order not to have wasted all that effort, I decided to let it run on standard PC hardware, basically directly off the BIO

Alex, this is incredibly cool. It runs fine on win64 under qemu. This will be fun to play with. Are you considering adding networking support in the future? I imagine that would be quite difficult. On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 4:16 PM, Alexander Burger wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm happy to announce PilOS

I was so excited I didn't read close enough "Also missing is - of course - networking (left as an exercise for the reader ;)." On Fri, Jun 19, 2015 at 4:47 PM, Joe Bogner wrote: > Alex, this is incredibly cool. It runs fine on win64 under qemu. This will > be fun to play with. Are you consideri

*someone* will surely add network support at one point. maybe Alex, maybe someone else. I think for him this is more a hobby side project, but as its free software, if anyone has any needs everyone is free to implement them ;-) PS: Yeah I too really want to run servers with that eventually, so,

This is great! Will try it soon, thanks! I'm really sorry about pilMCU, actually I'm still pursuing to build it but as of the moment time is not on my side... but still hoping someday soon... btw, if ever pilMCU is implemented, will PilOS work immediately over it? On Saturday, June 20, 20

Hi Geo, > btw, if ever pilMCU is implemented, will PilOS work immediately over it? Yes, the PicoLisp VM asm sources are the same. Just the low-level interfaces, boot procedure etc. are different. I don't want to maintain the pilMCU source tree separately, so we can backport to pilMCU later if nee

Great stuff, I was just going to ask Geo whether this means to end of Picolisp on fpga... I just tried PilOS - works on my qemu, will try on my actual PC later and report back. Cheers > On Jun 21, 2015, at 12:15 AM, George Orais wrote: > > This is great! Will try it soon, thanks! > > I'm re

Hi Alex, I see! That's indeed great, thanks! This is really good stuff Alex. Hi Kuba, Sorry the progress was so slow because crazy schedule at work.. for pilMCU I'm stuck with mobile DDR SDRAM interface, it's not as straight forward as SRAM so tentatively i'm planning to fabricate a FPGA board w
