OS for the Cardputer
-
I was wondering if anyone would like to collaborate on making a specialized Linux kernel for the Cardputer because I recently got myself one, and I have been fascinated with its hardware and what it can do. I am kinda new to coding. I have always been a hardware guy, but within the last few years, I have decided to attend college to learn more. I have also had to take a Linux course for my major, which is what also inspired me

@Jules-Vern-Hacker-Man Hello. I am afraid that the 8MB memory capacity of the ESP32-S3FN8 StamS3 MCU will not provide sufficient capacity for a more complex system.

@Jules-Vern-Hacker-Man A linux version has been built for the CoreS3 so you may want to look at that but,
The cardputer uses a Microcrontroller not a computer so you will be struggling. -
@kankaj, you can put an SD card in it and put it on that and manage it with a file manager

Its too less resources to run multiple apps on this hardware.
The logic of having OS - run multiple apps on same system. This goal could be reached by having apps on prepared media.
Its also possible to install a few apps in flash and run on demand. Check M5Apps project on the burner -
@d4rkmen i think you have an interesting idea going if you know how to make this work id like to collab with you
-
@Jules-Vern-Hacker-Man its already implemented
Just check M5Burner search for M5Apps. Let me know if you face any problem -
@d4rkmen, thanks for the info. Is it firmware you are saying that manages files I want to do or find an OS?
