NAME
|
||
|
|
spinix - spinix operating system
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Spinix is a linux-like operating system that runs on a Parallax
|
||
|
|
Propeller processor interfaced to an SD card. It consists of a boot
|
||
|
|
program, shell and many applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The boot program resides in the Propeller boot EEPROM. When run for
|
||
|
|
the first time, the boot program prompts the user for the I/O pins used
|
||
|
|
to interface to the SD card. The boot program then starts up the shell
|
||
|
|
program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Spinix maintains a rendevous area of memory at the top of memory. The
|
||
|
|
rendevous area contains mail boxes that are used to talk to the
|
||
|
|
console and SD driver.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The shell provides a user interface that accepts commands from the
|
||
|
|
user, and executes programs that are store on the SD card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SEE ALSO
|
||
|
|
For more information see the man pages on the boot program and the
|
||
|
|
shell.
