Quote from: DJ Omnimaga on April 12, 2020, 08:30:53 PMIt's cool to see new TI-Nspire CX projects. TI's constant updates that blocks Ndless have discouraged a lot of developers over the years, but if unlocked for third-party development, the TI-Nspire CX series has a lot of potential.

That is another reason why I eventually decided to try to make a whole OS: the POSIX standard gives a consistent environment to developers.
I want to make my own wayland desktop for the nspire, and with that I could port many other libraries and projects.
One thing that I thought would be nice is to port gcc, so you can develop native applications directly on the calculator.
But the compilation time would probably be a bit long 
I hope Ndless for OS 5.x releases before the world has forgotten all the great thing native programs can do with a calculator.
Maybe the newer hardware gets some people to write new programs.

I am actually working an a TI-nspire project right now.
Sadly I seem to be a bit late with that, but I only got mine for school 2 years ago and didn't find Ndless right away.
Also going from Java to C was a bit hard.
Since linux doesn't seem to work on my calculator (maybe because it is HW-AA), I want to create a POSIX operating system that can run alongside the OS.
My long-term goal is to get a usb mass storage driver working and then just kick the old OS out to use the rest of the RAM, and still be able to load programs.
Currently I finished my memory allocator (hopefully without any bugs), it can display a miniclock on the screen and change the normal black homescreen with a standard Windows 24bpp bmp.

I also made drivers for the keypad and the timers, the touchpad driver doesn't currently work on the calculator.
Now I need to make a scheduler and start to implement all the POSIX system calls, or at least the ones Newlib uses.
