I´ve checked the bounty. It is for Linux hosted, right ?


Yes, you always start with Linux Hosted as that gives you a nice stable development environment with known behaviour and no strange hardware effects. Once that's done then you can write some hardware drivers and bootstrap... and get going native :-)

I was thinking about something small. We produce tracking devices for vehicles. I though it could be a nice alternative to make some experiments.


I wouldn't trust a vehicle control system without memory protection. Still, it would be nice to see AROS doing something interesting.

What about legal stuff ?


What legal stuff? AROS is opensource, and covered by the APL, you can use it in a commercial product if you wish.

I thought you needed a RTOS?

I thought AROS *wasn't* a RTOS?

 :-?


No, but it is a multitasking OS, and it switches fast.
I want to make some experiments.  :-D  :-D


And I'd love to see AROS on the ARM, so you go for it!!! :-D
