Virgil Dupras 87b51a6261 By default, allocate about 0x100 bytes for PSP+RSP 
During "make updatebootstrap", we use less than 0x20 bytes on the
PSP side and less than 0x40 bytes on the RSP one. 0x100 bytes ought
to be enough for anybody.

Collapse OS

Bootstrap post-collapse technology

Collapse OS is a z80 kernel and a collection of programs, tools and documentation that allows you to assemble an OS that, when completed, will be able to:

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

Additionally, the goal of this project is to be as self-contained as possible. With a copy of this project, a capable and creative person should be able to manage to build and install Collapse OS without external resources (i.e. internet) on a machine of her design, built from scavenged parts with low-tech tools.

Forth reboot in process

You are currently looking at the forth branch of the project, which is a Forth reboot of Collapse OS. You can see why I'm doing this in the related github issue.

Documentation is lacking, it's not ready yet, this is a WIP branch.

Getting started

Usage documentation is in-system, so access to documentation requires you to run Collapse OS. Fortunately, doing so in an emulator is easy.

See /emul/README.md for getting an emulated system running.

Then, run 0 LIST for an introduction, follow instructions from there.

Organisation of this repository

  • blk: Collapse OS filesystem's content. That's actually where Collapse OS' source code is located. Everything else is peripheral.
  • recipes: collection of recipes that assemble Collapse OS on a specific machine.
  • tools: Tools for working with Collapse OS from "modern" environments. For example, tools for facilitating data upload to a Collapse OS machine through a serial port.
  • emul: Tools for running Collapse OS in an emulated environment.
  • tests: Automated test suite for the whole project.

Status

The project unfinished but is progressing well! See Collapse OS' website for more information.

Discussion

For a general discussion of Collapse OS and the ecosystem of technologies and ideas that may develop around it refer to r/collapseos

A more traditional mailing list and IRC (#collapseos on freenode) channels are also maintained.
