Minix is sadly dead. Minix on RISC-V seems like it would have been a pedagogical gold mine and yet it hasn’t happened last I checked.

- boricj 2y agoxv6 is now targeting RISC-V and has displaced MINIX as a better pedagogical tool in my opinion. MINIX is dead for multiple reasons, including technical ones [1]. Simply put, its design and implementation are no longer fit for purpose on modern systems. At this point, starting over from scratch would probably be more effective than trying to address all of its issues.
