In the recent NeXT thread Eric mentioned the TI Beagle Board
( http://beagleboard.org/). It's quite neat: $150 for a 3" x 3" PCB
w/ a 600 MHz ARM core, HD capable video, and SD card, audio, serial,
USB and DVI ports. The documentation seems fairly complete, although
according the mailing list there are issues about how much of the
video and DSP interfaces will be documented. Hardware-wise it seems
it only needs Ethernet to make it capable of being a Plan 9 terminal,
although in theory that can be added via USB.
How much would be involved in porting Plan 9 to it? Would the current
Plan 9 ARM compiler be up to the task?

this is what brucee said a while back about an ARM Cortex-M3
based device:

Is this not the basis of http://openpandora.org 's devices?
Pretty cool.

I've just discussed this with Charles. Vita has a thumb compiler (tc)
which works with 5l.
The Cortex-M3 is thumb-2 only so these two aren't quite sufficient,
but a flag will help.

I'd like to see Plan 9 being run on a portable device, and up until
now I thought the only ways were to get an iPAQ (but are newer models
compatible?) or to port 9vx to the iPhone (but does Apple's license
allow that?). Can we use this board to make an alternative - the new
bitsy? This seems very feasible, since the board is only 3 inches long
(and I believe square). How would we get a three-button mouse to be
emulated?

nintendo ds looks like the biggest bang for the buck. somebody on
the inferno list showed it running inferno. there are emulators for it
too.

I have a few boards from luminary. They are good and cheap. $69 fits
into the toy budget.
