We don't remember. - Thomas first shows up in git in March 1998. - Sebastian gets a nod in July 2008. :) + When were some ports added? + When were some interesting/popular BSPs added: Zyng, Leon3, gba, etc - FWIW the original PC BSP was based on DJ Delorie's go32 and pre-dates the git history. I did that on a single PC (486 with 32 MB RAM). I couldn't run X11 and compile at the same time. I had to reboot to test. Yes it was uphill both ways back in those days. :) + When were some of the original ports/BSPs removed? - mvme135/136 was first BSP - i386 was second port - i960 was last of original 3 ports + Interesting features? Like libnetworking, libbsd, shell, dynamic loading? + The Cygnus floppy mailing: https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/people/joel/CygnusFloppyAugust1995/ This may be good as a small tasks ticket where people cross things off as they get added. It is amazing how much this has prodded my memory. :) --joel > > Best regards > > Christian > -- > -------------------------------------------- > embedded brains GmbH > Herr Christian Mauderer > Dornierstr. 4 > D-82178 Puchheim > Germany > email: christian.maude...@embedded-brains.de > Phone: +49-89-18 94 741 - 18 > Fax: +49-89-18 94 741 - 08 > PGP: Public key available on request. > > Diese Nachricht ist keine geschäftliche Mitteilung im Sinne des EHUG. >
