Post by thread:[PIC] RetroBSD (2.11BSD) for PIC32

www.microchip.com/forums/m592795.aspx http://code.google.com/p/retrobsd/ http://developer.mips.com/2011/08/06/about-retrobsd-a-port-of-bsd-unix-to-a-microchip-pic32-microcontroller/ Looks quite interesting, Right now it supports PIC32 with 512KB Flash and 128K RAM. Two boards (with PIC32MX795) are supported out of the box. Target board: Sparkfun UBW32. Target board: Digilent chipKIT Max32. -- Xiaofa

Ok, that's really cool. I would like to order a few weeks of free time to play with that - anyone know someplace that sells free time for, well, free? -Adam On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 4:13 AM, Xiaofan Chen <spam_OUTxiaofancTakeThisOuTgmail.com> wrote: {Quote hidden}> http://www.microchip.com/forums/m592795.aspx > http://code.google.com/p/retrobsd/ > http://developer.mips.com/2011/08/06/about-retrobsd-a-port-of-bsd-unix-to-a-microchip-pic32-microcontroller/ > > Looks quite interesting, Right now it supports PIC32 with 512KB > Flash and 128K RAM.

I believe it is known as 'holidays', but they are rare and not often seen .... ;))) {Quote hidden}> > http://www.microchip.com/forums/m592795.aspx > > http://code.google.com/p/retrobsd/ > > developer.mips.com/2011/08/06/about-retrobsd-a-port-of-bsd-unix-to-a- > microchip-pic32-microcontroller/ > > > > Looks quite interesting, Right now it supports PIC32 with 512KB > > Flash and 128K RAM.

I think the Digilent board is shown in the pretty pictures on the microchip home page. Not sure about the other board they picture there. -- Scanned by iCritical.

The entire kernel, including comment and whitespace lines, is less than 20,000 lines of code. How hard can it be? ;-) (seriously, though, all I have had time to do is git the source and run "wc -l *" in the kernel directory.) -p
