Darwin for Raspberry Pi

[Peter Farell]

I have a few raspberry pi's  I muck about with the command line 

but have come to enjoy the the "say tts" in darwin over flight and espeak on Raspbian Distro

Is there a way to port darwin to the Raspberry Pi?

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, the PlainTalk/Apple TTS components are are all closed-source, and compiled only for use on x86(-64), and PowerPC.

With that in mind, you might be interested in the project at https://github.com/darwin-on-arm, and the (abandoned?) blog at http://crna.cc/, which used to refer to a project called "Magenta". The folks involved have done some of the heavy-lifting, and reverse-engineering necessary to get the Open Source version of Darwin running on various ARM SoC-based devices - but since booting, and device I/O isn't standardised fully on ARM, you'd still need to create a baseport for the BroadCom SoC used in the Raspberry Pi.

I hope that helps,

Tyson.

Moreover, I've just discovered https://github.com/tearsofphoenix/xnu/compare/raspi_support, from about 6 days ago. Seems that there's still some sign of life, in that project.

Tyson.
