| orated | Hello! I would like to know what exactly does it mean to have an OS ported to another machine/instrument? | 18:00 |
|---|---|---|
| hyperair | it depends on the machine. | 18:03 |
| hyperair | on a machine with a completely different instruction set, it could mean that you need to implement all the handwritten assembly, and fix cross-platform issues. | 18:04 |
| hyperair | otherwise it could just mean getting hardware to work | 18:04 |
| hyperair | writing drivers that don't exist, for example | 18:05 |
| orated | Gotcha. Could you give an example when there comes a case where the application/OS is required to is not cross-platform? | 18:06 |
| wrostek | Is there anyway to set wifi power management off ( without using iwconfig )? | 23:06 |
