Spinix is an operating system that provides a linux-like look and feel
|
||
|
|
to a propeller based board with an SD card. It takes advantage of the
|
||
|
|
relocatable nature of Spin programs to run multiple programs at the
|
||
|
|
same time. Each program runs on a dedicated propeller cog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can install Spinix by writing the boot.binary file to the EEPROM
|
||
|
|
and copying the files in the root directory to an SD card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When Spinix boots up for the first time it will request the four pin
|
||
|
|
numbers of the pins that interface to the SD card. For a C3 card,
|
||
|
|
use the pin numbers 10, 11, 9 and 25.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Spinix can be rebuilt by running the build_spinix script. It uses
|
||
|
|
BSTC to build Spin programs.
|
||
|
