Forgive me for my ignorance, but what is the uCSimm platform?
Nano-X and MicroWindows are quite portable, and can probably be ported
to any system with a working C compiler. No runtime OS is required for operation,
as we've hardware drivers for keyboards, mice and screens. These three
drivers will have to be written for any new platform.
My estimate for the time required to port a new screen driver to be around
one day, given full understanding of the hardware. The last driver written was a hercules
graphics driver for the PC and was ported from working C code in less than two hours.
Are you a programmer with access to the uCSimm platform?
