Okay so I need to make my own split mechanical keyboard. But I want my keyboard to have dual functions. Both a keyboard and a "micro" PC. After long discussions in Rust Offtopic Matrix room and then Rust Embedded room, I think it's a good idea to use Milk V Duo as the processor for my keyboard. And then add video output(HDMI), speaker/buzzer, microphone and Wifi. A shortcut on the device will switch between micro PC and ordinary keyboard.

An advantage of sophogo sg2002 SoC is that the TRM is fully available in English. This will be useful when I want to enter kernel development later. For now I will just do Linux on it.

A Milk V Duo with 512MB RAM and with Wifi costs only 18 USD.

So I'm thinking about #Asterinas which is a kernel written in #Rust and has #Linux compatible ABI. Having Linux compatibility is a great deal as you get most of the support for Linux for free.

I've messaged on their Zulip asking if Milk V Duo could be a good option for porting. I wonder if they've got an active and vibrant community. I haven't received a reply yet.

There is also #Redox but I don't like licensing my code under MIT. And it's an entire OS and not just a kernel.

If you know a community about OS/kernel development and bare metal development as well, I would appreciate an invite.

Milk-V Duo S is a tiny $11 computer with RISC-V and ARM processor cores

The Milk-V Duo S is a tiny, square-shaped single-board computer that measures just 43 x 43mm (1.7″ x 1.7″). But there’s enough room on the little computer for a 10/100 Ethernet jack, USB Type-C and Type-A ports, a microSD card reader, and two sets of expansion headers.
But the most unusual thing about this small, cheap, low-power […]
