Hello, I am curious if there is some kind of "SqueakNOS - introduction to development". Especially I am interested in porting SqueakNOS to ARM plattform (namely armadeus APF27 board, see www.armadeus.org) for embedded applications. Where to start? I am quite experiencced in programming, even low-level, and quite familiar with Squeak, but not with lower-level parts (primitives, plugins, virtual machine). Greetings, Petr

Great! :) Sounds good, especially FAT32, acces to sources and snapshotting will ease development a lot. :) Unfortunately, I have to report it failed to boot in Qemu-0.13 on windows XP (vmware plaer seems to work better a bit). Just now I can't test it on Dell or on linux, I'll be able at saturday or sunday.

For all those who may be intrested, we are glad to announce that we have just uploaded an updated version of SqueakNOS to our site. You can find the updated download links here <http://squeaknos.blogspot.com/p/download.html>. This release adds the following items to the previous version: (99.9% modeled with objects) - Improved support for ATA devices access - Implementation of a model of files and directories - Implementation of FAT32 filesystem - Support for reading sources from the hard disk - Support for X86 paging setup and handling of page faults - Implementation of a model of free and used memory - Implementation of image snapshotting (based on the paging mechanism) - Based on Pharo, but also supporting Squeak and Cuis - Added some primitives for communicating between VM and image - Support for Alien and FFI - Added basic support for writing to serial via VM so that it's possiblo to out debug info to the outside world. - Added pretty basic ATA benchmarks - Added some scripts to automatize work done from the outside world - Many code cleanups Future directions are: - Support for Cog VM - Investigate replacing SqueakNOS plugin with NativeBoost so that we do more on the image - Offloading memory pages to disk - More tests - Benchmarks For the brave ones, remember that you can always generate a SqueakNOS image by using the ConfigurationOfSqueakNOS (which is a bit outdated now), or by manually loading the packages from monticello. Also to generate a SqueakNOS VM download its code from GIT (hosted on sourceforge.net). Don't forget to visit squeaknos.blogspot.com for news and instructions. We hope to be able to write more soon. Many thank's t all the people who made it possible to understand the code and to develop all this. SqueakNOS' Team -- Javier Pimás Ciudad de Buenos Aires

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
