Hi Kevin, > Not to derail this thread too much, but a RISC-V port would be a more > forward-looking prospect.
This is a known issue, and we discussed about it in IRC. Pil64 is unfortunately not portable to RISC-V. It depends deeply on CPU registers (zero, sign and carry), which do not exist in RISC-V. Therefore I'm working on an LLVM-based version, called "pil21". If it works out, it will replace pil64 in 2021, and it will also solve other portability issues like MacOS and iOS. > available yet that can run a proper Linux; for now, qemu can be used for > emulation. Most important for today's application use cases is Android. Here pil64 / arm64 runs like a charm. > In terms of the growing hobbyist/robotics/IoT field, a PilOS port to > AArch64 (RISC also) like Raspberry Pi would help gain inertia in that True. Perhaps here too LLVM might help? ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
