Hi Dominique, As Fabien mentioned, it does use POSIX APIs so it should work. However not all posix unixes are the same. You may have to tweak here and there. For instance the standard libraries as sockets and thread may have different names. So you will have to change a little bit the build files. I used to have it running on QMX, it took me a few changes, but it worked at the end. Unfortunately there is no abstract interface layer. The main reason being that each 3rd parties libraries may have different access to Posix API. Or said differently we could actually sell that the abstraction layer is Posix itself ;-) (was it not one of the purpose of Posix ?) The memory footprint depends on the configuration of the agent. Our measure gave a span from 1MB to 2MB of RAM. Because of the dynamic nature of the language, it is actually difficult to give hard figures, it really depends on the use case. The best is probably to do measure in real use cases. Flash usage is closer to 2 MB. Good luck with your porting!

My goal should be to port the mihini to another operating system, a real-time operating system called RTEMS http://www.rtems.org/ RTEMS provides the POSIX interface. I’ve already successfully ported the Lua interpreter. Is it possible to port mihini to others OS? Is somebody already tried such a port? What are the dependencies with Linux? Are they grouped some abstract interface layer? What is the memory foot print of mihini? In order to reduce memory footprint, is it possible to disable most of the services?... Any return of experience, in this field should be very appreciated. Regards, Dominique Torette.
