Hi, I found an independent rework/fork of the original libX1000 that was developed by Ray Kinsella from Alexander M. Albertian in 2019: https://github.com/assa77/libx1000
I do not know what additional modfications were made. I purchased a Galileo 1st gen board in January of this year since I have wanted to try out some of the x86 features (my first PC was a Packard Bell Legend 3540 with a 100MHz Pentium), and have been interested in running an early version of linux with libc5: https://distro.ibiblio.org/baslinux/library.html recommended to me by Kevin Koster of .ombertech.com in 2024 for a single board computer project that I am also working on (<64MB RAM). The theory is, since libc5 was designed for single threaded kernels prior to 2.4, perhaps it might be a more convenient ecosystem to play around with software that is known to only run on single threaded CPUs. I realize it is not supported in mainline anymore. Alternatively, I have been interested in developing a package manager that allows a checkbox filter for i386-586 software that can run in single thread mode, so that the applications that require dual or multicore cpus are excluded from Synaptic. In Ray's 10/2016 post, he references a Debian distro called Ubilinux. I found one copy on the IA: https://web.archive.org/web/20160000000000*/https://emutexlabs.com/files/ubilinux/ubilinux_0.9_quark-live_usb_install.zip I do not know if it contains the libx1000 patch. I wasn't able to flash it to my SD card properly yet. Since programming and compiling from source isn't my background, I tend to test precompiled images available on the web, as I might not be able to figure out out how to patch the plock segfault bug in a timely manner (although I'd like to). I was able to get this iotdevkit image to run last week: https://iotdk.intel.com/images/1.5/ Flashing the firmware to 1.10.0 from 1.0.4 and installing the Gadget Serial driver (for USB-Serial) on Windows and SSH'ing into it to run top was about as far as I could get. My next goal is to run a version of linux with an active package server to install x.org and to set up X11 forwarding to "see" a desktop environment. I told Rob Landley about my plans to do that a few days ago, and he says he prototyped something similar for Qualcomm in 2010: "On 6/24/26 21:27, Giovanni Lostumbo wrote: > It has 16KB of SRAM, but no video RAM.

I did that back in 2011 on the comet boards doing linux bringup for hexagon (x11 "clients" running on the board with a "server" doing the actual display on another system because comet had no graphics hardware) so we could demo xterm and xeyes and xchat and such for executives making funding decisions, but I built x11 from source using the Beyond Linux From Scratch instructions.
