I've tossed the idea of Squeak out to the Portland Area Robotics Society group list and the response is building up (although a bit sluggish).
One question that immediately arose was whether Squeak is limited to the "Big 3" OS's
No - it's been ported to many systems. I've supported the RISC OS port for ten years as well as having done several other minimal/no OS ports.
or is there a VM for other embedded processors maybe without OS's.
The Swiki says Squeak VM's are supported for Mac, MS, RISC and flavors of UNIX.
That would be RISC OS, as in Acorn, as in the original inventors of the ARM cpu.
I remember reading somewhere that a student implemented a VM on a native uP as a Summer project.
Has there been much VM development on embedded uP's.
