FuzixOS: Because Small Is Beautiful

fuzix's Issues

Sometimes not able to create pipe

this happens randomly, but frequently

Add some form of initromfs as an option

Current Kernel is a 64K ROM.
When using a flash cartridge with a ASCII 8 Mapper we can use up to 2MB, which means we can easily fit a base file system there. That would make it much easier to use the system for some users.

Graphics Support

This is about adding the IOCTL to set mode and draw stuff. Is a bit unclear if current ioctl interface is enough, because a lot of stuff can be done with the v99xx's

Levee termcap is wrong

is not actually possible to edit a file.

ESC Key on real TurboR does not seem to work

Processes take too much ram

All processes take 4 pages regardless of the actual size, that means that 512k are barely enough to run 7 processes.

Detect and use all memory mappers, not just the primary

Currently we use only the active mapper (the biggest one), because using other mappers to run processes would add a lot of overhead due to slow switching.

But we can use a secondary mapper as a trivial swap device. Effectively using all the RAM available while keeping the overhead low.
