If you missed my talk with Xobs at #39c3, the recording is now up: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-xous-a-pure-rust-rethink-of-the-embedded-operating-system

Learn about Xous, the pure-Rust OS we've been working on, and the Baochip-1x, a full custom silicon chip that will soon be available, purpose-built to run Xous!

Xous: A Pure-Rust Rethink of the Embedded Operating System

Xous is a message-passing microkernel implemented in pure Rust, targeting secure embedded applications. This talk covers three novel aspe...

@bunnie I'm curious if it would be possible to drive a mnt reform with one.
For context, mnt reform (classic/pocket/next) are open hardware laptop with cpu and memory on child board using "standard" 200pin SO-DIMM connector. Here, I understand "drive" as a baochip on the "computing" board that is able to read the keyboard input and display image on the built-in display.

I don't know if it would make sense but I'm curious

@gkrnours The baochip is fairly limited in I/O, so any application like this would require some helper to expand the I/O, creating a bottleneck and thus making performance less than desired. So I would guess it is not strictly impossible, but it's probably also not going to work as well as desired.
