OSDeving or Embedded?

[earlz]

Hi, I'm making a (in my opinion) very cool "OS" of sorts. I'm using an mbed ARM prototyping board. It's not the typical ARM OS dev scene I see here. For starters, it only has 512K of flash and 32K of usable RAM(64K if you forget about ethernet and USB). It's also a product marketed toward people prototyping electronic things, not typically as a standalone computer type thing. Anyway, my project consists of this:

• VGA signal generator for monochrome 80x25 character mode/640x480 graphical mode(simultaneously)
• PS/2 keyboard driver for receiving and processing keys pressed
• A basic console (maybe with file management for SD card and/or built in flash memory)
• A forth virtual machine and "compiler"

And no plans for multitasking, though it should be possible(I'm pretty sure I'd run out of resources!)

I know most OS work here takes place on good ol' x86 computers with a few BeagleBoards and Gameboys. However, would anyone be interested in an announcement of this project here when it's complete(and of course further updates), or is this too "electronic" for this forum?

is this too "electronic" for this forum?

I'm not the judge but I personally interested in the experience you earned/shared on the process, especially for working on a new platform from scratch.

And there is a sub-forum dedicated for project announcement.

I would certainly be interested to hear what progress you make and what issues you encounter, mainly those specific to the ARM architecture. I haven't done a lot with ARM so far, but I'm trying to learn a bit more.
