I'm new to plan 9 and am now finishing the port for the OLPC XO. I've read the manual pages on "How to Contribute." It states I should ask for a space from you. What does that entail? I hope everything is well. Plan9 has made me ecstatic about OS again! I find myself creating bsd patches during the day and wondering how things could be done differently. Now I see :) thanks so much -jt On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 4:37 PM, wrote: > I've just pushed out to sources a new USB implementation, courtesy of > nemo, who debugged and repaired our old UHCI and OHCI drivers, wrote a > new EHCI driver for USB 2, converted the user-mode drivers in /bin/usb > and tested it all, among other things. =A0Thank you, nemo. > > I've updated on sources at least /386/9*load* (though they contain no > USB code), /386/9pc*, kernel sources, manual pages and a few scripts > in /rc/bin. =A0Tomorrow's CD image should incorporate all this. > > devusb has a new interface, so it is named #u, to distinguish it from > the old one, #U. =A0If usbd is compiled into /boot, /boot/boot will run > usbd at start up, thus permitting the use of USB keyboards, mice, > disks, etc. at boot time. > >
