Process Manager running on PPC
Date: September 23, 2005 08:56PM
The system parts of µnOS (Microkernel & Process Manager) are running on Pegasos II!
Remember, µnOS is a real microkernel OS. Thus the crucial parts of the whole OS are the Microkernel and the Process Manager. After the Microkernel has been ported already almost a month ago, we finished porting of the Process Manager at the beginning of this week. Since then there have been some issues to solve, as only booting the Microkernel naturally reveals only few bugs. Running the process Manager is much more demanding and thus some bugs crept out of their holes and we finished them up one by one.
Thus, we proudly announce that the Process Manager (and the Microkernel, too) are now running quite stable for this stage. The next step will be to get a normal user process (application) running. This includes mapping executables and making system calls to the Process Manager. So, quite a bit of work to do. Stay tuned!
