Hi,

We're getting closer!




Is it available for download anywhere?



The screenshot mentioned above was produced by me.

It is based on an corrected/improved version of the cc65 C runtime for
the Apple2. These C runtime changes were contributed by me and are
available as nightly snapshots in the meanwhile.

Beside that there are some additional changes required in the Contiki
code base. These changes were contributed by me and are currently not
available online. I'm in the process of getting write access to the
Contiki cvs repository for the Apple2 port.

Originally I intended to post a message here as soon as the code in
question is available through anonymous cvs access so everybody
interested is able to reproduce the screenshot himself.

The idea behind my activities is to get the general Contiki framework
working smoothly on the Apple2 hoping to motivate third parties this
way to work on uIP / SuperSerialCard support / Ethernet support.

Thank you. There has been discussion in this group for a long time about getting Contiki running on the apple ][. I tried and was not up to it, others have done some, you have achieved the most but far.
Please let us know when your enhancements for Contiki are available. I wonder if you could be persuaded to post the compiled binaries, for those who aren't able to compile form source.
I know that at least some of the things you mentioned are being worked on.
I think you are right, once Contiki is running at least somewhat it will encourage others to work on the missing pieces. Without a base system is was a question of where to start.
