My entire z80 calc programming revolves around GlaßOS. This is a WIP

GlaßOS

GlaßOS is a new operating system for the TI84PSE calcs, with and without extra RAM, that lets developers use C to quickly create programs and get results quickly from a friendly, high-level language. The OS is >95% C with the rest inline assembly. The OS is meant to be a kernel with C libraries that provides a C environment. This means, however, that it isn't completely assembly-friendly.

History

Too boring to write right now.

Friends

• glassKILL
• Islands
• gCAS2
• libgcas2
• launcher
• gFiler
• glassChat - Must be rewritten due to major USB API changes

Developing for GlaßOS

Writing programs for GlaßOS requires the use of the GlaßOS SDK, which provides information about supported svn revisions of SDCC, code examples, OS notes, and needed headers and libraries. Programs that are ready for public distribution will use a web tool to add the software to a repo that will be available to all OS users.

Notes

All hail Linky, letting me keep my assembly usage under 5%.
