[18:00] <orated> Hello! I would like to know what exactly does it mean to have an OS ported to another machine/instrument?
[18:03] <hyperair> it depends on the machine.
[18:04] <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
[18:05] <hyperair> writing drivers that don't exist, for example
[18:06] <orated> Gotcha. Could you give an example when there comes a case where the application/OS is required to is not cross-platform?
[23:06] <wrostek> Is there anyway to set wifi power management off ( without using iwconfig )?
