I’m working on a system with 120KB of RAM. I spent a month optimizing the memory usage of a component to make it fit in 8KB.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
coac you can throw an 8gb sodimm for a couple bucks into that nas and the UI will run much smoother. 4gb is a bit light for em imo. there should be a free slot (they put in two slots and then slap a 4 in at the factory)

what’s a good fun assembler

Something small like PIC12. Try implementing something easy like a linked list first.

to my mind armv7 (32 bit arm) is fun because the conditional instructions, the write back modes for multiple load-store ops, and being able to directly address the pc makes for some interesting code. it’s like solving a puzzle.

TIS-100 and shenzen io are the only ones I’ve tried


but thanks. I do need something to do

no wait, don't touch PIC12 that was a terrible comp arch joke

real answers are ARM for practical use and MIPS (and probably RISC-V) for teaching/learning.

is stm32 an instruction set. there was a stage when that seemed interesting because getting a small stm board is cost effective and can do much

stm32 is arm.
