Anyone have more info on the 9 and especially Inferno iPAQ ports? I can find mentions of the Inferno port in Vita Nuova's sources as well as in various articles but not much actual documentation on getting it up. I'm interested in getting these ports up on an iPAQ.

Thanks.

It used to live in /sys/src/9/bitsy.

it was removed from 9front in 2016:

        term% bind -ac /dist/plan9front /
        term% git/log -n1 /sys/src/9/bitsy

        Hash:   76e4f7caf9440f3ebb667b801fa55f5bc1c4be08

                remove unmaintained bitsy (ipaq) kernel
        
but you can get it out of history:

        term% git/query 76e4f7caf9440f3ebb667b801fa55f5bc1c4be08~
        8d9a94a66ed80605cb21be1a091a9b6fe02bd023
        term% @{cd / && git/fs}
        term% mkdir oldkernel
        term% dircp /.git/fs/object/8d9a94a66ed80605cb21be1a091a9b6fe02bd023/tree/sys/src/9 oldkernel

In the bitsy directory, there's a file called 'Booting101'
with instructions on how to get it up and running.

There are a lot of changes to the port/ directory, so updating
the bitsy code to a modern 9front will be a bit of work, but it
is probably doable.

good luck.

Thanks, I figured 9 wouldn't be too bad. I'm interested in getting more info on the Inferno port as well to get it up.

I've ran Plan 9 on iPAQ for the last time in 2008 or so and it worked fine,
including the ORiNOCO WaveLAN PCMCIA card.

The bitsy kernel has been removed from Plan 9 on 2013-01-30.

A copy of the bitsy kernel is available in the extra directory:

https://9p.io/sources/extra/bitsy.tgz

Some of my notes are available here:

http://9grid.fr/plan9/ipaq_h3650/

I think it should still work with the current ARM toolchain.
The kernel probably requires some minor changes.

I've never tried Inferno on iPAQ however.
