Hi,
nice to hear that people are interested.
Unfortunately, running code on an actual platform is still far away. The 
progress so far is that an ARM emulator and a disassembler is working 
from within the image, thus allowing to start the simulator. The plugin 
needed for that works in Windows. Next week I will try compiling it on 
Linux, thus clearing the way for Mac.

The simulator does indeed start and generate code. It actually does 
emulate some lines (finally) and even interacts with the image in 
reading some words from the squeak stack. But there is still some way to 
go, because the problems now are mainly with code organisation, and 
generalizing the IA32 specific solution, e.g. saving the link register, 
instead of expecting it being pushed and a new frame built (bl <-> call 
differences). And for debugging those errors, it's hard to guess how 
long it'll take.

For GSOC, there are only two weeks left, so I will most likely not 
manage running even the simulator without errors within the remaining 
time. But as far as code generation goes, nearly all abstract opcodes 
(those from class pool RTLOpcodes) have an ARM translation. And I plan 
on continuing. I also got a raspberry pi lying next to me, waiting to 
run Smalltalk :).

If there is interest, I might show what I have done on ESUG. Stefan 
wants me to present on the platform of the innovation award, but to me 
it seems not really innovative.

See you all in Gent,
Lars
