| I have also developed a preemtive-multitasking O/S (and some programming languages to build this and apps) targeted for embedded soft cpu (not x86). I build tools in Rust, too. I joined your discord but cannot comment anywhere yet (lack of permissions). Do you use AI coding agents? |

| Yes. But only for the coding. The rest is still done by me (hardware testing, QEMU, debugging, instructions, ideas, and so on). |
| |
| ▲ | softwarewright 4 days ago | parent [-] | | I have forked, cloned, and built (had to pin a specific nightly Rust for it to build). When I run it, it crashed at login; I reran it with VNC, was able to login as root, issue ls and uptime, but then it crashed. My AI is debugging... | | |
| ▲ | softwarewright 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | In my fork, I've added ./experiments where I hacked together a shell wrapper for a no_std Rust app to implement head -<n>. help > help.txt
<script path>/head -2 help.txt works. This shows how I can cross-compile code to run in the MesaOS shell. This is a workaround until I have better libraries/APIs for argc/argv handling, file I/O, etc. Fun! | |
| ▲ | softwarewright 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | so the built-in nano helps a lot, since the help output scrolled off the screen. I tried to use head, less, and more. I could redirect help output to a file (but until I found nano, could not page that). I also looked for dd. The VNC UI seems generally stable, I was able to log in as all three users, and issue many commands. Is there a bundled assembler or compiler. How can I write apps for this? Do you have a way to cross-compile and mount a shared folder or scp binaries in? | | |
| ▲ | crackanimador 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Hey. Sorry I couldn't reply sooner (I was asleep). Here's how it works: you put your files directly from your main OS into the "inyect" folder (where the `bin` folder and other items are located). You add your binaries there and then rebuild the ISO. That way, when you boot up MesaOS, your file(s) should be inside. |

| ▲ | softwarewright 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | My AI wrote scripts to launch and attach. I was able to do a lot login in as root. One bug: when I run the ring3 demo, the shell stops accepting input. |

| And by the way, I think I've fixed the Discord issue. Try testing it when you can. |
