Cool! Can you elaborate on why you're interested in doing this?
I work, as an OS developer, for a company which is producing said new core. It looks like we're going to have a non-MMU-capable tiny OS and a much heavier slower microkernel. I'd like us to also have an MMU-capable microkernel with a smaller footprint and better perforance. I don't have any particular application in mind.
Is there a recommended route for doing this?
Therefore, I personally would look into porting Fiasco. [with explanation of why]
I've downloaded the source of two implementations now (L4ka an Fiasco) and all the docs I can find. I'll proably spend a little while looking at these things then try to work out which code base makes most sense to me.
Thanks for your help.
