The DS has ARM7 AND and ARM9. ARM9 is used to control wifi and touchscreen, and the two CPUs communicate via a FIFO. So... do we have an ARM9 compiler? :-) Sounds like we might need one.

Hey David,

I haven't mentioned it on this list yet, but my summer of code project
has inferno booting on the ds. I can make it to wm/sh. Right now I'm
working on touch screen or wifi support. If you're interested and have
a flash card or an emulator(I like no$gba) I'll hook you up with a
game rom and the source.

I'm extremely interested.  Especially in how you got it all compiled :-)

 
Every time I thought I'd have time to sit down with the toolchain, I ended up getting married or buying a house or something :-)

 
I'm hoping I'll have some time for actually playing with this in the near future.

 
Dave


Just occurred to me, 5c 5a 5l are for ARM7 it looks like... The DS has ARM7 AND and ARM9.  ARM9 is used to control wifi and touchscreen, and the two CPUs communicate via a FIFO.  

 
So... do we have an ARM9 compiler?  :-)

Sounds like we might need one.
