Re: [9fans] Fwd: New Chip (SEAforth 40C18) - New Challenge
I don't trust penguins. But it's worth a try. I haven't installed the linux goo on my pusbox - if tiger wasn't house trained he would do more than bark at it when it thrashes crazy. But yes. Read the spec and come up with ideas. Move this to Casella group if we have enough enthusiasts. brucee On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 5:21 PM, Jeff Sickel j...@corpus-callosum.com wrote: On Mar 18, 2009, at 11:47 PM, Bruce Ellis wrote: The chip is a totally insane challenge.

At least that keeps us in the realm of using the official Forth environment until we gain enough leverage for promoting our own tool chain... If that's the case, can usb/usbd; usb/disk should recognize the target well enough for current usage (just a FAT disk) and pass that through to linuxemu... -jas
Re: [9fans] I can not remember if I sent this or not: MIPS-64 (sort of) notebook
i was looking at this a week or two ago, trying to find an ARM or MIPS laptop to play with. my first question was whether the missing parts of the MIPS instruction set are things that our compilers currently generate; SoC (oh, and my day job) ramped up before i could find the list of missing instructions. any idea? getting quotes or delivery in the US seemed tricky, too.

Maybe my memory is wrong, but i believe the vx32 kernel is gcc-compiled. There is gcc for this CPU. It might be easier to start from the vx32 kernel and gcc to target this machine, rather than do a 64-bit MIPS port of the plan 9 C compiler. Or not: a few of the folks on this list could probably retarget in very short order (I'm not one of the,however). ron

Re: [9fans] sftpfs
sftpfs + openssh just saved me a lot of time, thanks Fazlul!

You can find it here: http://www.tip9ug.jp/who/fhs/sftpfs.tgz It implements version 3 of the protocol because that's the version most widely use. At least OpenSSH uses version 3. Also, it requires that you have the OpenSSH port install (see README). Anyway, enjoy! fhs PS. This is my first 9p fs, so I'm not responsible for data loss ☺ -- Federico G. Benavento
Re: [9fans] MIPS-64
Yes I started on working the toolchain a couple years ago, based on some earlier work done at the labs. Development stalled due to other work at the time and I never got back to it. But it's on sources (tim/4acl.tgz) if anybody wants to pick it up. I'm happy to provide any help. tim tim weiss started work on kencc mips64 port and I started (w/o the compiler) playing with Plan 9 on mips64 based on the old carrera port. the stupid initial code is at http://src.oitobits.net/9sgi On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 8:24 PM, ron minnich rminn...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 4:14 PM, Anthony Sorace ano...@gmail.com wrote: i was looking at this a week or two ago, trying to find an ARM or MIPS laptop to play with. my first question was whether the missing parts of the MIPS instruction set are things that our compilers currently generate; SoC (oh, and my day job) ramped up before i could find the list of missing instructions. any idea? getting quotes or delivery in the US seemed tricky, too. so, here's a silghtly controversial (maybe) suggestion.

Are they even being produced? John

Re: [9fans] I can not remember if I sent this or not: MIPS-64 (sort of)
http://www.lemote.com/english/yeeloong.html It's an interesting site for a number of reasons ... Yes, it is. How hard will it be to do business with them? I have a feeling we'd want a single point of contact to save a lot of heartache. ++L
[9fans] twitter
I've started using Twitter. There, I said it. I actually signed up for twitter to follow a few 9fans, which seems sort of weirdly ironic to me. Now with a bunch of GSoC related news flying around on it, I've actually started using it (lightly), much to my surprise (and occasional dismay). Going to the web site to poll for updates is irritating, but there's enough other tools out there that finding something that presents a more reasonable usage actually isn't too hard. I wanted something on Plan 9 that worked simply. Testing has been cursory only, but /n/sources/contrib/anothy/rc/bin/tweet seems to work. Usage is pretty much as you'd expect, tweet some message here or fortune | tweet will do pretty much what you expect. It's a pretty dead simple wrapper around hget. I even got to give up on authentication, since hget will ask factotum. Side note: as I said, this uses hget. I first tried doing it with webfs, but had problems with the user:p...@domain syntax. Is anyone using that with webfs? Anthony (sigh: @anothy)
