The author managed to run LUnix on an NES without tricks, like embedding a Raspberry Pi into the cartridge.

Well… Its actually a Unix like OS like Linux but not “real” Linux. still impressive tho
ACTUALLY what you’re referring to is GNU like little Unix sort of like Linux but not really
ACTUALLY that is a nintendo entertainment system

Yes, I just kept the original title of the video.
Unix like OS in 6502 assembly? Dang. I’m impressed. That’s seriously cool.
But theoretically not that difficult? I mean, the whole point of Unix was that it is written in C and therefore platform-independent. Principally, all you need to port a POSIX Unix OS is a C compiler for the architecture that you’re targeting.
I suppose a cross compiler for 6502. What I’m not sure of is what kind of timer interrupts the 6502 supports.
Apparently LUnix was originally designed for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128. I didn’t know such a thing existed for 6502-based systems.
Sounds like it’s time for me to raid the closet. The Commodore 128 is a strange beast (considering the Z80 coprocessor that effectively does nothing, unless you boot CP/M) but playing with a tiny Unix-like OS on it seems like a fun project.
Need LUnix on Ben Eater’s bread board 6502.
He already did waz and ms basic.
Just got the kit!
What a great series that is, I should get the kit
Well. Linux on the Dreamcast seems more interesting. Or NetBSD.

This is pretty cool but looking back in his uploads the logitech reciever talk was even better. If i ever stop procrastinating and build a custom keyboard i may try using it.
