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
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...?
Thanks and cheers Michael

Hello Petr,
Unfortunately we don't have much documentation. Basicaly because SqueakNOS
is based on SqueakVM and SqueakVM is not very well documented.
However, with the new release we will upload on next days, we will probably
add some links to most of the documents we have read to gain
expierence with
squeakVM low-level stuff.
Would be great. :)
It would be really nice to have squeakNOS ported to ARM. I think there is
already a port to arm for the SqueakVM. I don't know exactly its
status. But
it should not be hard to merge that with SqueakNos cause as i
already said,
SqueakNOS virtual machine is almost similar to Squeak VM. There are
not
much changes to the vm, the idea is to work as much as possible on
image
side.
Yes, there is ARM port as I know, I've seen squeak running on Google G1 phone, which is arm based. 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 ;). (I want to use Squeak for non-realtime tasks and for displaying, realtime tasks are performed by FPGA chip onboard .. I think it could be also interesting to use this FPGA to implement some performance critical tasks as a kind of primitive call from squeak)
Anyway, feel free to email any doubt on the list.
Cheers, Guido.

Well, I din't really started yet with NOS, but I agree. Squeak documentation is the weak part ..

I suppose it should still be just one project, just the loader and VM may be different slighlty. Howewer I am interested in supporting hardware that may be uncommon in PC's or even mobile phones I think. The one of first things I need to get working is the armadeus's i.MX<->FPGA interconnection which is essential for this computer.

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...

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).

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 ].
if sources are loaded (which I think it's true), when you open a method in the browser the breakpoint will be reached.
to understand squeaknos internals, the blog http://squeaknos.blogspot.comis a good start.
As for the Pharo VM, you may want to read
http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Virtual-Machine
but if you are just starting, I would recommend playing with the live system a while before getting to the internals. http://book.pharo-project.org/book/Virtual-Machine Regards! Javier.

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.
