• Collapse OS

    From poindexter FORTRAN@9:91/4 to All on Wed Oct 9 15:57:40 2019

    Has anyone heard of this? It sounds a little sensationalist, but interesting nonetheless. The idea is to be able to make an OS that would be able to run on scavenged chips in a post-manufacturing environment.

    When the dust settles, the only survivors will be cockroaches and CP/M.

    Collapse OS
    Bootstrap post-collapse technology

    Winter is coming and Collapse OS aims to soften the blow. It is a z80 kernel and a collection of programs, tools and documentation that allows you to assemble an OS that can:

    Run on minimal and improvised machines.
    Interface through improvised means (serial, keyboard, display).
    Edit text files.
    Compile assembler source files for a wide range of MCUs and CPUs.
    Read and write from a wide range of storage devices.
    Replicate itself.

    Very interesting, thank you for sharing. I took a look at their github page, https://github.com/hsoft/collapseos, and they are active.
