The OS561 operating system based around FORTH/Java. The OS is to run on a VHDL chip OpenHardware design called the Minon, but could become available for other platforms. The unique point of the design is a revolutionary data compression technology.
Be the first to post a text review of OS561/Minon/Kodek. Rate and review a project by clicking thumbs up or thumbs down in the right column.
1. New Bias Element Structure It seems that 32 bits is sufficient for 4:1 bias and so this new structure is planned to be used http://jaxonix.blogspot.com 2. Minon Port Hardware Will places changes in design to have a single way mux rarther than 4 way mux per 4 port pair. This requires a simple co-processor on board but allow greater flexibility. 3. Minon instruction Set possible changes here due to the more compact representation of 32 bits for a compressed kodek. 4. OS561 Core Classes possible changes here due to optimizations. Possible changes of names of classes to for coincise typing. I will try to place these changes into the documentation.
Level 1 format support defined. Currently thinking of level 2 feature of dynamic class loading from archive, for environments supporting class loader modification.
The filed patent description is now online as a GLPL public patent. Additions relating to the diamond algorithm bias element have yet to be included. I may also be interested in publishing patent pending titled boxkey cryptographic decoder, for set top box applications if there is enough interest.
Details in project docs. Read about the reasoning behind the the core classes, and about the expected bootstrap process.
The project documentation defines the instruction set for the Minon VHDL chip design.
