[ANN] node-jslinux and typed-arrays

[Tom Robinson]

Just for the hell of it I got the jslinux emulator (http://bellard.org/jslinux/) working in Node, and of course to do that I needed more complete implementations of typed arrays:

https://github.com/tlrobinson/node-jslinux
https://github.com/tlrobinson/v8-typed-array

I included a little command line wrapper so you should be able to type:

1) npm install jslinux
2) jslinux

Or you can call boot() from the "jslinux" module:

$ node
> require("jslinux").boot()
[Node.js switching to raw mode. Hit Ctrl-C four times in a row to exit.]
{ base: '/usr/local/lib/node/.npm/jslinux/0.0.1/package/external/',
terminal:
{ handler: [Function: Jf],
...
boot: [Function] }

p.s. I'm still waiting for someone to get Node in jslinux working. We need to go deeper!

Yo dawg, I heard you like node, so we put a node in your node, so you
can run JavaScript while you run JavaScript? ;)

[mscdex]

Then we can run jslinux within node within jslinux within node! :-D

Thanks Tom! Please consider letting Fabrice know; I was in contact
with him a couple of days ago inquiring about non-minified sources.
He hasn't decided yet but perhaps if he sees active interest from
developers (like what you've done here) he may be more inclined to
open source his code.

Cheers,

Just like the online demo (tried on Chrome 12), the boot stops here:

"Freeing unused kernel memory: 124k freed"

After a while, my pc starts to get slower.

This is nasty cool.

Can't wait to see Gnome or KDE running in this :)

Meta-Quake anyone?

I'm not thinking about that but maybe virtual hosting using virtual
node machines. The only problem is jslinux does not have networking
working properly yet (I think).

[Scott Elcomb]

No, but a websocket-based device in /dev might do the trick. :-)

[Bradley Meck]

Yea, but how to emulate a listener socket...

This was caused by a bug in the optimizing compiler.

If you are using V8 3.3.x consider upgrading to 3.3.8.1
If you are using V8 3.2.x consider upgrading to 3.2.10.10
V8 3.1.x should not be affected by the problem.

Very cool :-)

Well, now if anyone asks the old Slashdot standby, "Yeah, but does it
run Linux?" We can say, "Yes, yes it does."

Now we just need it to run Crysis and we've got all the bases covered. :O

[Mark Hahn]

When will the online implementation be fixed?  I'm very curious to try it.

The author is currently learning JavaScript, so it might be a bit. In
the meantime the easiest way to try it out is probably to download a
copy of Firefox 4 <http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html>

I had to do the same, but was worth it to see linux running
in-browser. (Of course now I'll just be using Tom's module - at least
until there's an update to JS/Linux.)

simulate the whole networking thing over one single websocket-connection.

Hi,

Recently I've arrange an internet connection for jslinux box (without
nodejs). Project is called jsmodem. It is just a script based on what
I have learned from Bellard's code. I would appreciate some feedback
and testing of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEsmgHrKQYM. Code is on
github.

PS It would be great if someone who is in contact with Fabrice could
tell him a word. I was unable to reach him.

This is very impressive. Networking was a big missing point and many people said that it couldn't be done with JSLinux. Your solution works perfectly and shows what can be achieved with Linux and some deeper knowledge about it. You found a very clever way using socat. Everything worked out of the box. I just changed python2.6 into python in serve.sh because natty comes with 2.7.

Now I need a ssh client and have then a web-based administration console.

[Linus G Thiel]

Amazing! Great job, someone has to ping Fabrice Bellard. Try it out,
it's nicely packaged and simple to get up and running.

I look forward to trying this out - and it may help with a
proof-of-concept I'm working on. I also have partial networking in
place: basic ethernet devices and an emulated network. I expect to
have full networking (along with other useful improvements) sometime
next month.

I'm working on a project authorized by Mr Bellard (for research &
demonstration only) for a Toronto presentation I'm giving in October.
I'd be happy to bring jsmodem up next time I speak with him, though
it'll likely be several weeks before I do.
