Merlin OS: Building Trust in RISC OS Merlin with Formal Verification Methods

In this article, weโ€™ll take a look at an important new effort I am adding to my operating system, Merlin OS: formal verification, using a set of tools available to all Rust developers, as welโ€ฆ

This weekend I forgot to post about the progresses on project #MerlinOS, sorry it has been a busy weekend. However lots of things, so check the thread for details, here is the current progress: ๐Ÿ‘‡

A note on my #UltimaVM for #RISC_OS users: when coding on Ultima, we don't care at all about RO multistasking, we just code like on Windows, Linux or macOS. If we want to run an Ultima App in the desktop we just use the `--mt` option in the command line, everything else is handled by Ultima itself:๐Ÿ‘‡

This weekend I had some time to continue working on Project Merlin, so progress tracking update!:

Putting the cable back in the keyboard, and powering on with R pressed, we have a fully function Acorn Archimedes A310!

Amazing, just now gotta do some clean up work with replacing various PSU capacitors, need a new ball for the mouse, and also sort out the power button on the monitor (I'm having to hold it in to keep it on), and now time to also plan what interesting things to do with an Archimedes.

Thread: I bought an Acorn Archimedes A310

This is the first consumer device with a RISC based processor (a few high end workstations preceded it) and the first wide public release of the ARM processor (the CPU inside of it is literally referred to as the ARM)

Managed to get it with the original cords, manuals, box for the monitor, mouse mat, and the purchase receipt  just had to get it back to Nottingham from Llandudno on the train...

#RISC_OS I've put together a presentation page for #ProjectMerlin, which also includes a real-time progress update widget. This is to help answer questions I've received from various people. Please note: I am doign this for fun, I am NOT trying to save #riscos .

RISC OS Merlin

Introducing Merlin: A Modern Kernel for a Classic Legacy., In the realm of operating systems, few hold the historical and architectural significance of RISC OS. Originally developed by Acorn for the ARM architecture in the 1980s, RISC OS pioneered a lightweight, fast, and responsive desktop experience on early ARM-based machines. While the modern computing landscapeโ€ฆ

Well it worked today.... probably wont work tomorrow once in #miltonkeynes! Looking forward to attending @tnmoc for the #Acorn #Econet #LAN party event! https://www.tnmoc.org/events/econet-lan-party-2025-1 #RISC_OS #DOSBOX #Gilder
And today #Wordpress plugin to get #RISC_OS Community #Github updates on retro browsers! GitHub starting to work on IE4 basically!๐Ÿ˜Ž
