Mellivora OS for PicoCalc

, ,

I developed my own OS for 80486 machines and ported it PicoCalc … give it a look …

(Note: corrected some critical bugs - now functional)

I tried

export PICO_SDK_PATH=~/my/local/sdk/path
make picocalc

the commit hash of the pico sdk is

a1438dff1d38bd9c65dbd693f0e5db4b9ae91779

then I flashed the uf2 into my picocalc , rp2040

The keyboard lighted up, but nothing showed up on screen

I also tried to insert sd card after power on, still the same

After a new git pull

now it works

I can see a terminal

excellent!

I had to correct some bugs. I also included a Pico 2 version.

The first thing you’ll have to do is issue a mount command - will setup the SD card (so, recommend using a card just for this OS), and would be a one-time deal per SD card.

And my apologies to anyone inconvenienced by my initial posting of this system. It’s still a work-in-progress, but is functional and can do some fun/interesting things with it. The system is fully open source and y’all are certainly free to fork it.
