Greetings,

I have an early model OLPC machine (XO1) and contemplating trying to make Plan 9 run on it.

I know Ameya Palande did some GSoC work back in 2007 and found some useful notes and resources on his blog [1]

Has anyone else worked on these machines? Reasons to not bother?

Any info or tips for porting greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Matthew

Tim Newsham was working on a port in 2010. It booted, but was limited = (iirc, no networking and some graphics problems). The files from that on = my system are dated 2012, but I think that's just from me being careless = when I moved something in that year. The Contrib Index [1] reports that = tristan did some sort of update to newsham's work, but I don't believe I = tracked those changes. I'm not sure what the relationship was between = newsham's work and the original GSoC project. The XO1 still sort of a neat machine, although obviously things have = moved on a bit since 2007. The weird stuff they do with their screen is = interesting; looks way better greyscale than color.

I have an XO-1 and an XO-1.5 if anyone wants me to test an image. I also have an XO-4 but that's some kind of arm game with SDIO wifi that may or may not be workable. khm
