[SqNOS] SqueakNOS on Dell Optiplex
Locked
 
|
Hello,
I'd like to report I succesfully ran SqueakNOS (SqueakNOS-19-feb-2010.tar.bz2 from sourceforge - a bootable CD) on DELL Optiplex GX270 (2.4GHz Intel P4, 1 GiB RAM, integrated Intel 82865G Graphics card). With PS2 keyboard and USB DELL mouse (working except of the wheel), graphics is working up to 1600x1200x32. Cheers, Petr Dvorak _______________________________________________ SqueakNOS mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/squeaknos |

That's very good news!
Keep in touch cause we are planning to upload a new release on this or next week. Probably mouse wheel will be fixed. Cheers,
Guido.

Hello,
that's great, looking forwrd to the next version of SqueakNOS! Building up a good documentation would also be very nice, for it helps starters to get into hacking SqueakNOS, something were I currently hit constraints. A ARM port would be great!! Maybe there can be a common trunk, so development can progress in parallel on both platforms...?

The plattform I'd like to use for some embedded apps (one is brushless motor control) already have its own Linux distribution, I am planning to install Squeak/Pharo on top of it in the first step, but standalone Squeak would be nicer ;).

Well, I din't really started yet with NOS, but I agree. Squeak documentation is the weak part .. > A ARM port would be great!!

everthing sounds great ;)
one more general question regarding the future direction of sqNOS: Are there plans, or considerations on making the new CogVM the basis of SqNOS. I have no idea, if that would be an easy or a major task, but the performance advantages seem attractive to me... cheers michael ps: sorry for messing up the threads, i got something wrong.

Sure. The needed stuff for the image is in squeaksource and the VM source code is in Git, so anybody can clone and start from there. We could then merge any changes needed for the ARM port. The only catch is to follow this philosophy: "Do as much as you can at the image level. Don't do anything in the VM unless it's really necessary." There may be exceptions, of course.

A nice way of starting is booting and going step by step in simple tasks. For example, to see what happens when you write to disk, add this to ATADevice>>at: method
ShouldHalt ifNil: [ ShouldHalt := false. self halt ]. to understand squeaknos internals, the blog is a good start. As for the Pharo VM, you may want to read
but if you are just starting, I would recommend playing with the live system a while before getting to the internals. Regards!

Of course, we want to support Cog. That would require to adapt the makefiles (or create newones), and then see if there are other problems (if there are, they shouldn't be big). It doesn't seem to be a huge work, but we are just trying to push other areas for now and we don't have much free time left).
