Is this project still active?

[ShadowX]

Is the project still active? It's been a while since there's been any
new builds, I have noticed changes on the updates page. Any plans on a
new build for those who cannot build it properly?

[David Leimbach]

I suspect, if everyone is like me, that spare time has dwindled a little bit to work on anything related to this.

It's certainly an interesting project but it's hard to get the sustainable momentum with the few people really working on it (I'm not one of them).

[ShadowX]

Ah I can understand that, just wondering is all, I built a recent
build once and used the OS once or twice on both my DS and PC and it
would be a shame to see it die.

It's not dead. When I have more free time to mess with it, I'm going
to integrate it into the inferno-npe tree. Then it will be like all
the other ports.

That said, a lot of people are waiting for the more information on the
DSi which is a much more interesting device for inferno than the ds
lite or ds fat.

?  Meaning WiFi will work?  that's sort of the key piece missing from what I can tell.  I think there's a few graphics issues, but the progress that's been made on this platform has been impressive to say the least :-)

Ah yeah DSi looks very cool.

Someone on the Haskell mailing list put it as:

"If I haven't seen farther, it's because I'm standing in the footprints of giants!"

just for completeness:
as it's been pointed above, we're just on a hibernation period.

Current DSi based flashcards run code in ds-compatibility mode,
which means that the Inferno DS port .nds files on the downloads
section will run too on the DSi.

Anyway i'd be interested in confirming it,
anybody want to give it a shot?

If I had a DSi I would, but I noticed that some DS Homebrew doesn't
work on the DSi correctly like DSOrganize where the touch screen won't
respond. I'd love to try it simply because I think this project is
awesome, I did try it a few times on my DS and even built a screwed up
copy of it (I can't build it right lol) once. But I love the thought
of having a different OS on the DS besides just Linux which isn't even
maintained anymore.

*cough*

I've just finished coding a backlight driver for DSLinux and my aim is
to get a driver for the DSerial device working, so DSLinux can use it
as a standard serial port. This will open up a lot of new
possibilities (but no USB host, unfortunately). I'm looking forward
to using my DS with an old 56k modem as a router :-)

Once I have completed this (which is going to take me a long, long
time), I intend to leave the svn in a compilable shape and call it the
end. Already there are problems with newer toolchains not compiling
correctly and I'm guessing that the next time I try to setup a DSLinux
compilation environment, it's not going to work....

I really hope people carry on with the Inferno port though. One of
the major problems with DSLinux is the bloat of the kernel and I was
really interested in seeing what Inferno could do with the limited
hardware available.

It's true *everyone* is waiting for someone to get DSi homebrew
running The trouble is if it takes too long for the new DSi hardware
to be opened, there may not be people around to take advantage of it.

Fingers crossed.....

that makes a lot of sense, i've thought the same wrt dserial/dsbrut for dsi
having a serial line would ease/speed up development/debugging a lot.

as far as we're curious about what can be achieved homebrew
in general and by extension this will be active.

/me can't stand the curiosity & gets one of those nifty bootcards (r4i)
