Nuttx looks very interesting, thanks for the heads-up. As I said, I'm really glad to see some of the "maker" targeted code moving away from running bare-metal. I don't think it makes any sense to try and port the full CNC stack to Nuttx, but I could see a use for the HAL layer. I doubt anyone here has an immediate interest in porting HAL to Nuttx, but if you (or someone else) cares to try I can advise and answer questions. I think the basic guts of HAL and RTAPI should port over pretty easily since Nuttx is a posix OS, but it might be trickier with some of the higher-level stuff (python bindings, haltalk messaging). -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
