pet project idea
(Been a busy day on the uploads)
This week I am setting up my own website so that I can pursue some of the
business propositions I get flung my way. Also on this site I want to set
up an area to promote EU to the rest of all the uninitiated out there. But
I would most of all like to set up a project area and chat for those of you
who would like to collaborate on my pet project... which is to use these
tools that we have in EU to create an environment for a very low-level OS
for the Playstation due out later this year. I know that this sounds crazy
to some of you but Sony says it expects to sell about 30 million of these
superboxes a year. So an operating system on the machine is not a bad
idea.
I understand that both David Cuny and Pete Eberlain are familiar with
compilers, especially LCC, which is what we have targeted as our best
chance to many get EU shoe-horned into that Box-From-Japan. What does it
take to have this compiler (if it is the best choice to do this with...)
port to the MIPS IV series of RISC chips, such as the r3000, etc.? I know
that the compiler is used to do this along with the 8xx86 series from
Intel, so what more would it take?
The group I work with is very interested in funding a project to do this if
I can get it off the ground, because they can see this as a 30 million unit
a year market for applications that do not work well on the PC.
Any takers? This is serious.
