LOL!
No, not really, the Bifferboard still has a lot to give. I still had
about 6 MB of free physical RAM left, plus 150 MB on the swap file.
But as I added more complex services to the Bifferboard like the STL
generator and the Fixed Point library generator I started noticing
some strange crashes. I tried compiling for i386 instead of i486 and
the problem disappeared. So I guess i486 compatibility is not
100.000%. Since compiling for i386 caused me some problems (had to
duplicate all the projects for that specific target) I started
thinking that I may have overestimated the importance of i486
compatibility.
Add that to the current high prices and things started to look to me
more and more like I should search for alternatives. So now I'm back
to square 1 trying a new platform, but my first impressions are all
very positive.
But you ask a very important question: how will I keep the closet warm
and cozy? This is an urgent matter, I don't want a hoard of bugs that
over the years agreggated there searching for warmth migrating out to
all over the house just because the closet is now cold like in the ice
age!! :-)
