Sure looks like it. whois.com is showing: Expires On: 2026-06-15

Seems to be a similar story for del.icio.us, which expired on 2026-05-02

https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/28617 provides some commentary on where things are, and what might happen next.

I think a MAME driver is in the works, but maybe also a whole series of blog posts about roadblocks on that journey.

With shipping and tax the One cost me £94. The Flint 2 has been on sale for £115.51 twice in the last couple of months, 23% more, so not a huge price difference.

I have both. The Flint 2 is definitely the better choice for a home router https://blog.thestateofme.com/2024/11/30/gl-inet-mt-6000-fli...

But as somebody doing OpenWrt package development the One is where I'm running Snapshot and trying out the new Alpine package manager.

My takeaway from this is that the existence of RISCVuzz will make future verification much easier. Just run your prototype (or even an emulation of it) against a known good array of implementations.

For anybody who doesn't want to go scratching around in the wiki git history, I dropped the markdown into a gist - https://gist.github.com/cpswan/2b65fa11c83c8d16dc464bb0f9a91...

Maybe you've been using the GD2md-html plugin. I've certainly found it useful over the years, and will likely still use it for some of my workflows. https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/docs_to_markdow...

Have you found your way to Stuart Conner's page? http://www.stuartconner.me.uk/

Lots of resources on the original TI dev boards and tools for TMS99Xx.

Debian support for RISC-V is presently only in Sid (testing release). So not production ready.

When I ask people what it will take to get RISC-V into stable releases the answer is always ‘better access to test hardware’. Hopefully this is a step along the way.

Yes. I’ve been running it on a VisionFive 2 and a BeagleV-Ahead.

John Kennedy has done a very thorough emulation of the KIM-1 on iOS for anybody wanting to play with it https://apps.apple.com/us/app/virtualkim/id1548356829

My final year project at University was building a real time simulation of the human peripheral hearing system on an array of T800s, written in Occam. The work continued without me as a PhD project.

My supervisors published a paper about it in Microprocessors and Microsystems https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/014193...

What I had in mind at the time (once Moore's law reduced the size and power demand) was customisable hearing aids - the sort of thing that can now be done with AirPods Pro.

For a certain generation of system engineers it seems like early exposure to parallel programming on Transputers helped them get a leg up in distributed system design, especially once multi core systems came along.
