Stepping down for CoCo port of Contiki
James Dessart
the Coco. My schedule just isn't allowing me any time to work on it, and
as a result, it hasn't happened.
I'm REALLY hoping someone will step forward to work on it, since it's a
great project, and the CoCo community would definitely benefit from it.
I'll try to provide all the help I can to whoever takes over, but the
contiki and coco lists are the best places to get info. Other than for
coco gcc, but that's pretty straightforward.
Anyways, I hope to see someone pick this up, and I'm sorry I don't have
time to port it myself.

This is sad news, especially since you were very close to actually have
it up and running... :-( Will you also drop the gcc port?
Anyway, thank you for this time and your participation! Feel free to
come back to Contiki whenever you feel like it :-)
Cheers,

Actually, for most purposes under the standard DOS on the CoCo, the gcc
port works fine. If anyone wants instructions on using it, I'm sure I
can find the time to help you get it set up.

Cool, congratulations on gettin it working! I looked into porting gcc
once, and it seemed to be quite hard, so I am very impressed :-) So this
means that someone who would be intererested in picking up your Contiki
port would have a working C compiler! Thus it would be a matter of
implementing the four functions ctk_arch_keyavail(), ctk_arch_getkey(),
ctk_arch_draw_char() and time() to have a basic Contiki system up and
running.
