Contiki on Ethernut

Posted by michael on from the goodbye-contiki-web-server-nice-knowing-you dept.

randomErr writes "Many of you may remember Contiki, the OS and GUI for the C64 and many other 8 bit platforms, which was posted on Slashdot in March. Adam Dunkels has ported Contiki to a more modern platorm: the open source Ethernut board. You can also see the working webserver and VNC server."

    You can also see the working webserver and VNC server.

    If that webserver is hooked up to the net, you won't be seeing it for long. :)

  2. Why? by heironymouscoward · · Score: 5, Funny

    The answer should be obvious: a web server able to run on a C64 can run on any embedded system that can emulate a 6502 CPU. This means I can put a web server into my mouse. The possibilities are stunning...

    ...but someone's gotta say it.

    Now go forth, Slashdot readers, and give that server a good kick in the ethernuts!

    There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.

    It seems so unfair, Ethernut vs. Slashdot vs.

    Almost like David vs. Goliath, except in this case, David has two broken arms, no legs, 3 gunshot wounds center mass, and massive blunt trauma to the head. And Goliath is a hungry T-Rex.

    I gotta say, the thing appears to still be responding right now as I post, not bad, not bad at all. Not necessarily *working*, but responding. Hit that /cgi/tcp page and check the connections, truely evil.

    So you have actually been hitting "reload" on an mini server that is going down due to a slashdoting in progress? Congratulations! You deserve the "Slashdoting Warrior" metal of honor.

    Hey, just kidding.
    We are all evil minions armed with Web Browsers , attacking whoever the Slashdot Mastermind points to. :)
