Hi!

Today I've successfully compiled my favorite transputer tools for Linux running on an ARM demo board (Atmel SAMA5D3-Xplained).

Awesome! I assume /link300.so is connecting to your LinkUSB?

If we could "reanimate" Hessel to continue his work on this RasPi hat, we would be all set for a "Fistful of Transputer-Host":

link300.so is the simple tcp B300 compatible interface.

Current possible interface list
link004.dos (x86)
link004.os2 (x86)
link004.w32 (x86)
link008.dos (x86)
link008.os2 (x86)
link300.lnx (x86,amd64,arm,ppc,mips)
link300.os2 (x86)
link300.vms (vax)
link300.w32 (x86,amd64,ia64)
linkbbk.w32 (x86)
linklpt.dos (x86)
linklpt.w32 (x86)
linknec.dos (x86)
linkusb.w32 (x86,amd64,ia64)

linkusb.so didn't exist because there is still no LINKUSB driver for Linux. But an USB connector is available on the SAMA5D3, so maybe in the future ...

Kind regards
Mike

PS: I don't use my real B300 (because to much noise). I use a simple SW-Gateway to LINKUSB under windows on another box.

If we could "reanimate" Hessel

Hardware is not the problem ;-)

Hi!

The linkusb interface 4 linux (with libusb-1.0) also runs now on x86, amd64 and even on my tiny arm demo board:
