Contiki 2.5.rc1 binary release for Retrocomputing

[ol.sc]

Hi,

 

'Contiki 2.5.rc1 binary release for Retrocomputing' has just been made

available on

http://contiki.cbm8bit.com/

and

http://a2retrosystems.com/contiki.html

 

It's a straight compile of the unmodified Contiki 2.5.rc1 sources avialable on

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/contiki/Contiki/Contiki%202.5-rc1/contiki-2.5.rc1.zip

using cc65 2.13.2

 

The major changes are:

 

- Support of the Atari 8-bit machines with the cart described on

http://www.atari8ethernet.com/

 

- FTP client app (only download although UI suggests upload too)

 

- Twitter client with OAuth workaround (using SuperTweet.net)

 

- New high contrast color scheme for Contiki UI apps on the C64

 

I hope that this release helps to foster further interest in creating

new internetworked retrocomputing applications based on Contiki - or

improving/extending the existing ones. Just a few examples that come

into my mind:

 

- Add upload capabilities to the FTP client

- Add IMAP capabilities to the SMTP client

- Create an RSS feed reader

 

Contiki for Retrocomputing is meant to be a community project!

 

Regards,

Oliver

Awesome Work Oliver! I am working on updates for the 8-bit ethernet site as we speak. I will include this info.

Hi,

 

Above I wrote that Contiki for Retrocomputing is meant to be a community project.

 

From that perspective I'm really happy to announce that there's now is a step-by-step guide to building the 'Contiki for Retrocomputing' applications from the source code on Windows:

http://cbm8bit.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=88

 

The guide starts with downloading the source code and all necessary tools. There's no need to install any software - it's just placing files in a single directory.

 

Thanks to Shane Wood for making the guide possible.

 

Regards,

Oliver
