  • inferno-rpi

    This is compilation of Labs “Porting Inferno OS to Raspberry Pi”. We decided to organize it as some set of small labs with very detailed steps of what is done to reach results and make everything easy to reproduce.

  • Your concept looks nice, it reminds me a bit of the Lisperati: https://www.hackster.io/news/the-lisperati1000-is-a-cyberdec...

    So, did you consider Lisp or maybe Smalltalk? Plan 9 or Inferno might also be options.

    Plan 9 comes in different variants, the "classic" one (with a Raspberry Pi port by Richard Miller) or 9front, an Inferno porting tutorial can be found at https://github.com/yshurik/inferno-rpi

    Lisp and Smalltalk can run with or without Linux underneath, e.g. on the Raspberry Pi.

    Bare-metal Lisp is available with interim: http://interim-os.com

    Finally, bare-metal Smalltalk is available in my crosstalk system: https://github.com/michaelengel/crosstalk

    Of course, Lisp and Smalltalk can also run hosted under Linux, e.g. using Squeak (https://squeak.org), Pharo (https://pharo.org) or InterLisp (https://github.com/Interlisp/medley).

    Or - a crazy idea - build an emacs-only machine. That would be fun! :)

  • crosstalk

    Smalltalk-80 bare metal implementation for the Raspberry Pi
