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.
