Haiku OS PowerPC: the Tabby build is moving on two fronts.

On a PowerBook G4 12", USB boot works, but only through the CHRP bootblock, calling a 250-byte ofboot.b. Launching haikuloader.elf directly returns a CLAIM error.

On a Pegasos 2, Haiku reaches the desktop on real hardware, so Tabby's approach isn't tied to Apple's Open Firmware quirks.

Still open: a panic in vfs_mount_boot_file_system on disk boot, and clean shutdown.

@trashheap

A web browser is probably the single most important program for me, so knowing that #Firefox, #Waterfox and #Librewolf run on #HaikuOS is a big step forward in its... "daily-driver-ability" for me

@trashheap

I assumed #Firefox mods like #Waterfox weren't available yet for #HaikuOS, good to find out at least WF is!

First BeGeistert took place in Düsseldorf, Germany, at December 12, 1998. 🧑🏼‍💻👩🏽‍💻👨🏻‍💻 #BeGeistert #HaikuOS #BeOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeGeistert

Current main projects:

• #ecobj: Another piece of the #Psion SIBO SDK rewrite puzzle. ECOBJ.EXE takes an Intel OMF file (.OBJ) for a class and moves the class descriptor data into the code segment. I think I might be able to get this working by the end of the year.
• Get my website running #GoHugo (this is almost done!).
• #CTRAN: Still haven't started writing unit tests. Also, complete a full write-up of what it took to get the thing working.
• Research into compilers: I'm nowhere near ready to start yet, but I'm learning as much as I can.

Upcoming projects:

• #siboimg: Rewrite in Pascal, and add the ability to create and modify FEFS images.
• #plptools: I'd like to see two-way transfer working for EPOC16 -- I'm sure I'll need the help of the rest of the maintainers to get this working. I can't do much with the #HaikuOS port until the USB serial drivers are "fixed" (hardware flow control added) -- I don't think I have the skills for this, so it'll have to wait until some kind soul has the time to work on it.
• #PsiDrive: Add a ~17V boost converter to allow writing to Flash SSDs.
• NAS/home server: Rebuild or replacement of DEATH, my Microserver gen8. It's been over 18 months since DEATH's RAID died. It's lead me to thinking that maybe I don't need the sort of server I thought I need. TBD.

Maybe next year, maybe not:

• New Psion SSD with RP2350: I doubt I'll get anything made, but I'd like to experiment to see what can be done with the protocol.
• Rewrite the rest of the SIBO C SDK tools.
• Compiler: Recreation of the JPI/Clarion TopSpeed C compiler, targeting the SIBO/EPOC16 platform (8086 and V30). I was hoping to get going with this around July this year, but it just didn't happen. This is my Everest. I know I'm not ready yet. I need to train for it.
• Vine: New word processor for EPOC16. Trying to start this project in 2023 lead me to rewriting the SDK, so we're quite some way away from getting this done.
• Research into Objective-C: Not Foundation, just the syntax. For compiler shenanigans.

I've really struggled to get going with projects this year. That's fine, these things happen. But I'd like to find better ways to cope next year so that I can make a little more progress.

Wow, lots of votes for #Haiku!!

#Poll #LiveTooting #HaikuOS

Current main projects:

• #plptools: Resurrecting old ports (#FreeBSD, #NetBSD) and working on a new port to #HaikuOS. It's an opportunity to get more familiar with the code and maybe find bugs along the way.

Upcoming projects:

• #CTRAN: Still haven't started writing unit tests. Also, complete a full write-up of what it took to get the thing working.
• Get my website running #GoHugo.
• Rebuild of DEATH, my Microserver gen8, probably with #FreeBSD. (Yes, it's been over a year since DEATH's RAID died.)
• Pick another SIBO SDK tool to rewrite. (Probably EMAKE or RCOMP.)
• Add a 17V boost converter to #PsiDrive.
• Make #fefstool create FEFS images. (I'm half-tempted to rewrite fefstool in Pascal to make it easier for me to finish.)

You'll notice that some of these projects have been sitting for a while. I've struggled to get going with things this year. I'm hoping that working though plptools will give me some mental energy to get going with other things.
