@voided I'm intrigued - I did real-time multicast on #vxWorks using Ethernet MAC directly years ago.

@santi @muito_pelo @goosey propably because they want to renew interest amd potentially gain new licensees.

  • Not shure why anyone would choose #RiscOS in 2026 and it's "Cooperative Multitasking" but maybe a 'mature codebase' makes it more interesting. Similar to #OpenVMS ¹, #QNX ², #VxWorks ³ and #WindRiverLinux ⁴ trying to increase adoption by those that demand a more hardened and deterministic performing OS…

@w84death @whitequark @landley the idea behind @OS1337 is not dissimilar from #VxWorks and #WindRiverLinux in that one can build their own #custom minimalist #Linux...

  • It's still in early concept but longterm I do intent to flesh it out into something more useful, maximizing the abilities one has with #Frugalcomputing, because an 80x25 #Terminal should be all that's needed still...

AMD Embedded+ mini-ITX Board features Ryzen AI Embedded P132 CPU, Versal AI Edge Gen2 VE3558 SoC FPGA

AMD Embedded+ mini-ITX Board features Ryzen AI Embedded P132 CPU, Versal AI Edge Gen2 VE3558 SoC FPGA

At CES 2026, Sapphire Technology introduced the EDGE+VPR-7P132, an "AMD Embedded+" Mini-ITX motherboard built around AMD's newly announced Ryzen AI Embedded P100 series of SoCs, namely the hexa-core Ryzen P132 (V4526iX) CPU, and an AMD Versal AI Edge Gen 2 VE3558 SoC FPGA, which features octa-core Arm Cortex-A78AE + ten Cortex-R52 real-time cores beyond FPGA fabric. It's the first AMD Ryzen AI Embedded motherboard we've seen. It represents a massive update from last year’s Edge+ VPR-5050 motherboard, which relied on Zen 2-based Ryzen Embedded V2000 series and first-generation Versal silicon. The new VPR-7P132 skips multiple generations, jumping straight to Zen 5 CPU cores and RDNA 3.5 graphics, with an upgraded Versal Gen 2 adaptive Edge AI SoC for real-time inference, along with faster LPDDR5 (4266MHz) memory and 40 Gbps USB4 connectivity.

@ghul @jti42 @pkal @landley precisely!

Besides: All those big corpos contributing don't do so out of kindness either, but because none of them want to cough up way more money for a #CCSS alternative like Wind River #VxWorks, #Oracle #Solaris or god forbid #IBM #zArchitecture #Mainframes!

@landley granted I do share that goal for @OS1337 abeit with way less priority (as I'm content with a #VxWorks-like approach for now!)

  • But also because I am kinda lazy and don't want to "reinvent the wheel" and instead 'just wait & pull from upstream' [#toybox] because I suck at coding [outside of bash and some other small stuff]…

All I want to do re: _OS/1337 is merely do the bare minimum necessary to quickly build custom, verifyable & reproduceable system images to boot as well as include whatever tools that one wants in it.

  • And ideally I want to just pull vanilla codebases and just have configurations for *each supported architecture [currently i486 only but others are planned too] to target:
    • Basically just having to specify the target and roll that way.

Since the build scripts are all #bash, 'self-hosting' (building itself under itself) should be totally in the cards and as soon as #mkroot can do it, I intent to follow suit in this functionality...

@eickot @nixCraft it should ideally be a self-hosting development envoirment but even if it's just a better #VxWorks that'll already be nice!
Show threadKevin Karhan Nov 9

@nixCraft this makes total sense for #CriticalInfrastructure control systems as well as #aerospace applications.

  • Which is good because there needs to be more competition to the likes of #VxWorks!

@estherschindler I worked on the MIPS, PowerPC, and ARM architecture layers and BSPs for #VxWorks at #WindRiverSystems back from 1999‐2004, and then moved on to their embedded Linux kernel and BSPs, so if it is a general question, I might be able to help a little.... haven't kept up with it since then though.

Are there any active #VxWorks online communities? Where do those developers hang out? I have questions for them.
