hello everynyan! wow it's been a bit, oops...
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
i like to keep promises, and also never drop any projects that i say i'm working on (as proof of this fact,
|
||
|
|
the vap kernel still gets internal git pushes!)
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|

something we announced awhile ago that we unfortunately have not given as much information on as we'd like
|
||
|
|
is lifeblood! <a href="/blog/posts/stripe_sessions_2025">that cheap risc v devkit we announced back in april!</a>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
with my life currently being quite busy with college, we had an internal meeting among our developers as well
|
||
|
|
as some friends close to the company on what out of our work-in-progress internal projects we should focus
|
||
|
|
on, and lifeblood won by around a single vote! (to be fair, it won the entire vote of the people outside the
|
||
|
|
company, but adjusted for the value of internal company votes it just barely got above asklyphe, which means
|
||
|
|
hopefully some work will be done on that as well soon!)
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
since then, i've been doing my best to bring lifeblood os, the operating system that would be shipped with
|
||
|
|
lifeblood computers, as far as possible; and what we've released, while still in a very early stage, should
|
||
|
|
hopefully be enough to start developing basic stuff for the system!
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
currently, since we don't have any devkits that you can buy, you're limited to running the operating system
|
||
|
|
in qemu's virt riscv32 board, which is unfortunate (but we hope to remedy this fact as soon as we can!)
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
the operating system, as stated earlier, is also still in an incredibly early state, and unless you have
|
||
|
|
experience in low level system programming, you may have a bit of trouble getting your code on the OS
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
however! if you are either experienced, or just the curious type, the source code is now fully available
|
||
|
|
on our git!

if you're interested in talking to other vore microcomputers fans, we have a discord you can join (yeah i
|
||
|
|
know, we'll try not to limit any information to it) at <a href="https://discord.gg/YqUuCbxVsS">https://discord.gg/YqUuCbxVsS</a>

|
unfortunately, while that's all for now, we hope that this will be a great start to the public release of
|
||
|
|
the lifeblood project! hopefully we'll have some more cool stuff to show off soon! (or in 5 months, who knows
|
||
|
|
at this point lol)
