As it has become a tradition with new HelenOS ports, the ARM port is now composed mostly of placeholders that await real implementation. The port cleanly compiles though and when run in a simulator, the kernel immediately enters an infinite loop. Being at the very beginning of this subproject, this is a perfect opportunity for any volunteers that would like to put their hands on experience and help us a bit.

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 10/27/2006 - 23:00.HelenOS now features a brand new IRQ dispatcher and IPC notifier. The sparc64 port is now a lot more generic, even though the range of supported devices is still very limited. The xen32 architecture has been renamed to ia32xen to better reflect what hardware is being virtualised. And it looks like there will be four new developers soon.

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 07/25/2006 - 23:00.Several things have been going on lately. One of them is the xen32 port, slowly getting shape in our repository as part of Martin's master thesis. On a similar front, Sun Microsystems provided us with an older Ultra 5 workstation. Another Ultra 60 was made available by SISAL, Charles University. Both of the Ultra's will be used for the development of the sparc64 port.
