StickOS
This thread is about the StickOS (which is also used in hardware called soBasic http://www.sobasicsoeasy.com/). It is an operating system that allows development through a telnet like terminal. This interface can be made over the serial port, USB port, or wireless port. StickOS has been compiled to run on a few different types of chips. Two Microchip series that it can run on are the PIC32MX3 and the PIC32MX4 families.
A description from the www.cpustick.com website:
StickOS™ BASIC is an entirely MCU-resident interactive programming environment, which includes an easy-to-use editor, transparent line-by-line compiler, interactive debugger, performance profiler, and flash filesystem, all controlled thru an interactive command-line user interface. In StickOS, external MCU pins may be bound to “pin variables” for manipulation or examination, and internal MCU peripherals may be managed by BASIC control statements and interrupt handlers. A StickOS-capable MCU may be connected to a host computer via a variety of transports and may then be controlled by any terminal emulator program, with no additional software or hardware required on the host computer. Once program development is complete, the MCU may be configured to autorun its BASIC program autonomously.
For more information on this system, see this post for a few videos that describe the development/operating sytem: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...9397#post89397
