The
Open-Source HCS Project
by
Neil Cherry
Still
Left TO DO
We have
a long list of projects that need help. The RTOS tasks
have to be ported from assembler to C. COMM-Link libraries
need to be written and tested. "You’re favorite
processor goes here" must be tested as a COMM-Link.
The SDCC header files need to be written. Documentation
needs to be updated.
It’s amazing
how little spare time we have and how much work has
to be done. Don’t be surprised when you log onto the
newsgroup and no new messages have been posted for days
at a time. Sometimes there is nothing new to post. Other
times, especially around holidays, we’re busy with other
things.
THE
FUTURE
The future
is up to the user base. If we work as a team, we will
be able to add new features and maintain present compatibility.
The best
news is that no matter what happens, the source code
to everything that has been done is available, so it
should be possible to create patches and present new
features even if the leaders disappear into obscurity.
