【RPi PICO】Run Fuzix system [Copy link]

 

Fuzix is a proper Unix, with multiple processes, devices, all the standard Unix tools, Bourne shell, vi clone, etc. Given the RP2040's limited RAM and no MMU, this port keeps just one process in memory at a time, swapping in and out to an SD card to do context switches; this works surprisingly well. Each process gets up to 64kB of code and

data.

This website also has an example of running Fuzix on ESP8266 (nodemcu), but I tried it but it didn't work.

This is normal, the M0 core is not suitable for running large applications.

Damn, Unix... But then again, when Unix was written, the machine configuration of PDP7 was probably similar to that of today's single-chip microcomputers.
