- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoInteresting site. Bookmarked. But the last part "Communication: SPI, I2C, CAN-bus, ethernet should be sufficient. A ZigBee like protocol would also be highly useful." made me think why? Especially Ethernet. When you are bootstrapping, why emulate what became standard for arbitrary reasons which don't necessarily apply for the situation requiring a reboot? Maybe something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARCNET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARCNET would be simpler to implement, while covering much of the needed/wanted functionality? Otherwise thumbs up for going along with CollapseOS and FORTH :) One last nag: Why no GUI? There was GEOS, for instance. And I know of some others for 8-Bit machines, meanwhile created by retro-computing enthusiasts. edit: couldn't stop thinking... because I don't get the obsession with VI-like/Emacsen on such systems when I remembered QEdit on MS-DOS ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_SemWare_Editor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_SemWare_Editor ) Also, while I'm at it, and we are talking about low-end HW and FORTH, why not consider something like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Cat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Cat I mean, when the road ends, why not take the other roads not taken? :)
