One of my more long-te= rm projects is to write a kernel (micro or otherwise), initially for RISC-V= that can, if nothing else, serve as a springboard for my own projects. I'= ve thus far just been using AT&T and BSD UNIX kernels for research and insp= iration, with a peek at Darwin every now and then to see how Apple/Mach doe= s things, but could certainly stand to broaden my horizons. That said, if = I was to straight up port something as an exercise, I'd probably go for V7 = given its ubiquity and the fact that work done there would likely serve as = a good template for doing the same with other AT&T and BSD variants. Plus,= I think someone's already gone and done a V6 port to RISC-V, so I'd have s= tuff to refer to. - Matt G. ------- Original Message ------- On Monday, December 12th, 2022 at 2:20 PM, Liam Proven = wrote: > On Mon, 12 Dec 2022 at 17:04, Larry McVoy lm@mcvoy.com wrote: >=20 > > Thanks for that Clem.
