As part of our research at Indiana, we have used Inferno to provide proxy
access to hardware resources such as console, mass storage and COM ports
for embedded devices such as robots. Infact we just submitted a
conference paper relating to this:
http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~bpisupat/work/pubs/iscas07.pdf

The work is based on a home cooked robot used as an instructional platform
in our department, some based on ARM7 and others on MSP430 MCUs:
http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~geobrown/goofy.html

Our approach is converse to that used in styx-on-a-brick, meaning we implement
9p clients on the embedded (robot) side which mount and access
fileservers hosted on workstations through serial/wireless links. In
contrast styx-on-a-brick implements 9p fileservers on the robot side.
There are arguments for using either of these approaches, depending on the
end objective.
