There are a couple of issues here:

# Beyond their introductions, all of these books are written in languages which are not English, making them out of scope for the English Wikibooks.
# All but one of these books are in fact written in constructed languages, most of them in recently created conlangs. In some cases (e.g. [[Sin Chao, Jonathan!]]), I can't find any reliable sources describing the target language outside of the translation itself.
# Most of the translations (i.e. other than [[Salute, Jonathan!]] itself) were abandoned within the first five or so chapters (out of 100); none of them are complete, and there seems to be little effort to complete any of them.

While I recognize that this is an unusual project, and potentially one which could have some value, it's not at all clear to me that the English Wikibooks is the right place for it. — [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 00:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

: I'm really not sure what to do about these ones. While I recognize that this approach is certainly one method of teaching a language, I'm not sure that it constitutes an educational textbook. We do require that the English Wikibooks be written in English—for language-learning books, this typically means that the instructional parts are in English while the exercises are in the language being taught. I do think that if the language doesn't have much supporting evidence outside the book itself, it can safely be deleted. — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 01:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

: Author of the book here. I originally wanted to put it in the Interlingue Wikibooks https://ie.wikibooks.org/wiki/Principal_p%C3%A1gine but it somehow got locked when I wasn't paying attention and so I ended up putting it here. Getting it unlocked requires going through the process of starting an Incubator and all the rest so I opted for here and then started putting some English-only content once it was done. It's sort of in the same vein as books like Lingua Latina per se Illustrata that have separate versions with teacher notes and whatnot. [[Salute, Jonathan!/Capitul 1 - with notes]] After it was done the auxlang community really took to it which was a nice surprise. I think Ido has the largest number of chapters at the moment at 15.
:If the vast content of this book could be used to justify a quick reopening of the Interlingue Wikibooks to move it there, I'd love to do that. I imagine that an incubator with 100+ book chapters would be enough to open a Wikibooks and that's what this is. — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

: Ah, I just realized that we do have a proposal to reopen the Interlingue Wikibooks: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikibooks_Interlingue along with an Incubator page here. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wb/ie/Principal_p%C3%A1gine
: How easy would it be to migrate the entirety of Salute Jonathan to there? — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 06:30, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

:: Hi @[[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]]! I'm not sure how incubator projects work, but I fully support migrating these books there. You may want to inquire over there and link to this discussion to support your request to move the content over there. Cheers! — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 13:16, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

::: Hi! Actually I have a third idea to propose after thinking about this again today (haven't been here much since I finished the book): I noticed that there is more English content than I remember and that might make it an awkward fit for the Interlingue Wikibooks. I definitely agree that having all the auxlang translations for new auxlang projects goes well beyond the scope of this Wikibooks. Finally, there are some auxlangs that are notable with their own Wikipedias.
::: So the idea is the following:
:::# Leave the original here and I can continue the work on the version with English notes and grammar. That will make it the same as Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, English by the Nature Method, Athenaze and all the rest.
:::# The Interlingua one can move to the Interlingua Wikibooks (maybe Romanica too if they want as it is sort of a dialect of Interlingua).
:::# For Ido and Lingua Franca Nova which have a Wikipedia but not a Wikibooks, I'm a little bit unsure...technically they could have their own version like the original one but would require English explanations. I could let them know and see if they are willing to do so and see what they think (work on adding English to the books vs. move the content elsewhere).
:::# The rest can move to a Github repo, then be deleted, and the front page of this book can have a single link to the repo.
::: Any thoughts on that? Adding the extra English content will be easy as it is my book and I know it inside and out.
::: Edit: [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Salute,_Jonathan!/Grammar_(pronouns) this page] I just added.  — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 13:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

:::: Thanks for taking the time to consider this! Here are my responses/questions:
::::* Is the original [[Salute, Jonathan!]] (Occidental)? Since that one is quite fleshed out, I agree that if you edit it so the primary language of the book (e.g. headers, instructions, etc) are written in English while leaving the actual story in Occidental, it would be okay and fit in more with instructional language textbooks.
::::* For your points 2 and 3, I'm not sure how those other projects work, so I'll leave it up to them. I'm not quite sure why they would need to move, since in theory they could be revised with English as the language of instruction? Although, they have been left incomplete for a long time.
::::* For your point 4, I have no problem with that. Cheers! — [[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 16:51, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

::::: Hello again, it's the weekend so I have a bit more time to work on this. I've decided to merge the extra content from the following five chapters since the difference is fairly small and the original chapters should now have this English content. Could you delete these five pages now that they are no longer needed?

::::::: Hi again! No luck trying to find a home for the random language translations on other auxlang wikis, can't find one that is actively maintained.
::::::: The thought struck me that maybe I could just put those ones on a sub page of my user page, would that be permitted? If not, I think I'll just stick them somewhere in GitHub and call it a day since none of the people who started the translations seem to care enough to do anything about them. I'd rather not see them outright disappear but since they aren't mine I don't care enough about them to do much more work than copy and paste them somewhere.
::::::: (I would leave the ones in languages with an ISO-639 code and Wikipedia here, of course) — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 14:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

::::::::: Thanks a lot! I've started a single page where I will put them all here [[User:Mithridates/SJ]] and will proceed slowly due to lack of time and also to avoid stepping on any toes / asking you to delete too much at a time and possibly deleting the wrong content.
::::::::: For this week I have put the content for the languages Audia, Cristianès, Guosa, Lingaust, Mini, Mirad, and Monav on that page as they all have a single page of content and didn't take much time to move. Please delete those. Once they are gone I will add a note on the main page letting people know where they have gone (in addition to a thank you for their interest in the book! I do love how many people have recognized it as a good source material for teaching a language). — [[User:Mithridates|Mithridates]] ([[User talk:Mithridates|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mithridates|contribs]]) 04:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

: {{keep}} the translations for languages that have an article on the English Wikipedia, i.e. Guosa, Idiom Neutral, Ido, Interlingua, Lingwa de Planeta, Negerhollands, Neo, Novial, Occidental, Romanica, Solresol, Toki Pona, and Volapük.
: Translations for languages that don't have an article can be kept if they have reliable sources, which I was able to find for the following languages (if you think they are not reliable, please let me know):
:* Globasa: [https://www.languagesandnumbers.com/how-to-count-in-globasa/en/globasa/] [https://greyson.conlang.org/2020/01/29/shouting-out-globasa-and-pandunia/]
:* Mini: [https://jprogr.github.io/mini] [https://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/mini.htm] [https://www.languagesandnumbers.com/how-to-count-in-mini/en/mini/]
: {{del}} and move to [[User:Mithridates/SJ]] the rest of the translations, i.e. Audià/Audian, Cristianés, Ekumenski, Germanisch, Interocidental, Lingaust, Lingue Simple, Masa Tang, Mirad, Monav, Monkel, Mundeze, Nordien, Novlingue, Numo, Proyo, and Scuian/Meteza. If you can find reliable sources for those languages, please let me know.
: In particular, I could not find resources for Audià/Audian and Monav after searching through 15 and 17 pages on Google, respectively. It doesn't help that [[Òla, Ionatà!|their]] [[Hai, Jon!|translations]] don't explain what those languages are and where to find resources for them. This makes contributing to those translations almost impossible until @[[User:Caro de Segeda|Caro de Segeda]] can provide resources to us. It's possible that the resources may have disappared from the Internet, or that those languages were created by Caro de Segeda him/herself. If you can find resources for Audià/Audian and Monav, please let me know.

:: Caro de Segeda said on [https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/1lcnz9g/comment/n0sc3wx/ Reddit] that Monav was created by him/her and that he/she didn't publish any resources about it other than [[Hai, Jon!]]. With '''zero''' other resources to rely on for contributing to the translation, and the fact that Monav is in [[User:Mithridates/SJ]], [[Hai, Jon!]] should be speedy deleted. — [[User:EJPPhilippines|EJPPhilippines]] ([[User talk:EJPPhilippines|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/EJPPhilippines|contribs]]) 01:38, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

{{outdent|::::}}I don't know if this is helpful since it wouldn't apply to most of these, but [[s:mul:]] could hold some of these. — [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Arlo Barnes|contribs]]) 09:18, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

: I don't think that would be within the scope of that project. I'm not aware of any other situation where Wikisource publishes translations of texts created on Wikimedia projects - that's usually left up to other language editions of the same project. — [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 05:34, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

:: In this situation there isn't a separate [[s:ie:]] distinct from Multilingual Wikisource (see [[meta:Wikisource#List of Wikisources]]). In fact, there are very few multilingual wikis in the Wikimedia sphere; while this project ''could'' move to a Miraheze-hosted or similar wiki farm location, I think it would be a missed opportunity. I suppose an [[Interlingue]] book could be started in [[shelf:Constructed languages]] which would have all 100 chapters as an appendix (and likewise for the other languages), but that also seems non-ideal since it requires an English-language text that doesn't currently exist to be created. [[WB:AT]] seems to describe a similar situation to this one and prescribe Wikisource as the solution, and [[WB:SOURCE]] mentions fiction as out-of-scope for Wikibooks (even as in this case, language-educational fiction). [[s:mul:Wikisource:about Wikisource]] simply speaks of source texts and doesn't mention publication requirements, so maybe that is specific to some of the monolingual editions? — [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo Barnes|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Arlo Barnes|contribs]]) 22:28, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

:{{keep}} 100% keep. These books are a core part of language textbooks on Wikibooks and have been for years.

::With all due respect, some of the books included in this nomination (like [[Sin Chao, Jonathan!]]) are written in constructed languages which are not substantially attested anywhere else.

== [[International Baccalaureate]] ==

Not actually a book in and of itself; rather, it is just a compilation of links to other books —[[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]] ([[User talk:Kittycataclysm|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kittycataclysm|contribs]]) 23:24, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

::Probably, but are the linked books even useful? IB exams change from year to year - sometimes quite dramatically - so an old exam guide is of very limited value. Many of these books were written 10-15 years ago, and some of them (like [[IB French]]) even have comments indicating that they're no longer applicable.

:These three books do make a package and I agree they should be considered together. However, I strongly object to deleting them. They are really extremely useful resources. I use them every week and I know that many people who do work on Old Chinese phonology do so. There are lots of books out there that are lists of characters, these are called dictionaries. For example Axel Schuessler's ABC Etymological Dictionary of Old Chinese, or Pulleyblank's Lexicon of Reconstructed Pronunciation in Early Middle Chinese, Late Middle Chinese, and Early Mandarin. I see it as entirely a good thing for reference works of this kind to be available free online rather than only in expensive books in university research libraries. If this is in violation of a Wikibooks policy, I would at least like that policy to be drawn to my attention and to have some constructive comment offered about which Wikiproject such a resource should fall under. I will also say on a personal note that I have put literally hundreds of hours of work into these projects and it would grieve me a lot to see this work simply vanish, in particular when I know that colleagues around the world use these books. --[[User:Tibetologist|Tibetologist]] ([[User talk:Tibetologist|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tibetologist|contribs]]) 07:27, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
::Hi @[[User:Tibetologist|Tibetologist]], and thank you for the feedback! Official Wikibooks policy does not permit standalone dictionaries (see [[WB:DICT]]), though I understand the argument that it is a useful resource. I am wondering if there might be a home for it at [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Welcome, newcomers|Wiktionary]] or [[Wikiversity:Wikiversity:SHARE|Wikiversity]]?

:::The policy says to use Wiktionary, but these books cannot be moved there. In fact they link there, you can understand me as having made an index to wiktionary, if you like, where the ORDER of the characters is extremely important, information that would be lost in Wiktionary. 
:::Wikiversity is not a project I participate in, and in any event my books here are older than it, so this option was not available for me at the relevant moment.

::I concur. I'm just an undergrad who tries to learn about Sino-Tibetan historical linguistics in his free time but I've found this wikibook to be incredibly useful, and I keep it open in one tab while I watch Professor Nathan Hill's lectures that he uploads to youtube in another tab, and another tab for taking notes.

::It seems that the idea behind the book was for the pages to be bilingual, as it’s a language learning book. That’s why there are Finnish texts included intentionally even on the pages that are complete. There are similar books in dewikibooks and ruwikibooks as well. For the English version, I think the easiest way to proceed would be to clean up and adjust the page layout to fit enwikibooks better, and then translate the missing parts. By the way, if anyone wants to update the book’s name in English, it can be titled ''&quot;Using the Finnish Language&quot;'' or ''&quot;Put Finnish Language into Use&quot;'' for a direct translation.

An ''extremely'' outdated FAQ on AT&amp;T's cell phone services.

Undisclosed AI-generated content. [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 02:13, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

:&lt;nowiki&gt;'''Keep'''&lt;/nowiki&gt; — Comment from page author/subject expert.
:I am Levent Bulut, the originator of the &lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt;Objective Projection&lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt; methodology described in this book (ORCID: 0009-0007-7500-2261, Wikidata: Q138048287). I want to address the AI-generated content concern directly and transparently.
:&lt;nowiki&gt;'''&lt;/nowiki&gt;On the content itself:&lt;nowiki&gt;'''&lt;/nowiki&gt; The methodology, theoretical framework (the six-variable operator E(r) = projS(M, T, V, Δ, Ω, Ng), the Six Golden Rules, the Six-Layer Framework), and all original arguments are my own intellectual work, developed and published independently. This is documented through:
:* 26 DOI-registered academic publications on Zenodo (search: &quot;Levent Bulut Objective Projection&quot;)
:* A peer-reviewed submission currently under review at &lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt;Digital Humanities Quarterly&lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt;
:* Parallel Turkish-language Wikibook and Wikiversity pages on the same methodology
:* An open-source SFT dataset on Hugging Face (leventbulut/objective-projection)
:&lt;nowiki&gt;'''&lt;/nowiki&gt;On AI assistance:&lt;nowiki&gt;'''&lt;/nowiki&gt; I used AI tools (Claude) for English translation polish and copy-editing from my Turkish source materials — the same way a non-native English-speaking academic would use a human translator or editor. The &lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt;ideas, structure, terminology, citations, and arguments&lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt; are entirely my own and pre-date the Wikibooks version, traceable through Zenodo DOI timestamps starting in 2025.
:&lt;nowiki&gt;'''&lt;/nowiki&gt;Proposed remedy instead of deletion:&lt;nowiki&gt;'''&lt;/nowiki&gt; I am happy to:
:# Add a clear AI-assistance disclosure to the book's preface, per Wikibooks transparency norms
:# Add inline citations to the underlying DOI-registered publications for every major claim
:# Link to the parallel Turkish version and academic record
:This would address the &lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt;undisclosed&lt;nowiki&gt;''&lt;/nowiki&gt; part of the concern (which is the actionable policy issue) while preserving content that is original academic work by an identifiable author with a published track record. Deletion of original scholarship because translation assistance was used would set a concerning precedent for non-native English contributors.
:&lt;nowiki&gt;I request a few days to add the disclosure and citations before any deletion action. ~~~~&lt;/nowiki&gt; [[Special:Contributions/&amp;#126;2026-28847-60|&amp;#126;2026-28847-60]] ([[User talk:&amp;#126;2026-28847-60|talk]]) 18:46, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

== [[Suicide]] ==

I realize this book has been nominated for deletion before ([[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide|1]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide (2)|2]], [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Suicide/Suffocation|3]]), but it's been over ten years since the last nomination. The project's position on what material is in its educational scope has shifted, as have some of the facts on the ground.

* The chartered purpose of Wikibooks is to produce &quot;open-content textbooks&quot; (cf. [[Wikibooks:What is Wikibooks?]]) which are suitable for use in an instructional environment. Providing educational information about suicide in the context of psychiatry could certainly be in scope, as psychiatry is an educational topic; however, instructional material on how to commit suicide is not an educational topic, and should not be considered in scope.
* This book is, and has always been, primarily intended as an instructional work guiding users on how to commit suicide. It provides effectively no meaningful analytical content ''about'' suicide as a topic. Most of the original content in the book was imported from an early-2000s wiki associated with the &lt;code&gt;alt.suicide.holiday&lt;/code&gt; Usenet group, the &quot;ASH wiki&quot;, which was specifically and unequivocally dedicated to describing and recommending methods by which readers could commit suicide, and this has carried through to the current version of the book.
* Most of the content in the book was removed in 2020 (by redirecting it to the book's main page, e.g. [[Special:Diff/3660495]]) over concerns that it was created by a WMF-banned user ([[User:Leucosticte]]), and because it was likely in violation of the ASH wiki's (unclear) copyright. These changes removed most of the content of the book; much of what remains is image gallery pages like [[Suicide/Blades]] which have no educational value.

Suicide is a sensitive topic; if it is covered by a textbook, it should be covered tastefully and with an aim to educate. This book is largely the opposite of that. Having it here is doing more harm than good.

If this book is deleted, the following related pages should be deleted as well:
* [[Template:Suicide methods]]
* [[Template:Infobox suicide method]] (currently unused)
* [[User:Leucosticte/About ASH]] - from the ASH wiki, as mentioned above
* [[User:Leucosticte/Frequently Asked Questions]] - also from the ASH wiki

: {{keep|weak keep}} a)&amp;nbsp;Age is no argument. There are many stale underdeveloped books I would rather delete than keeping around. b)&amp;nbsp;The book’s topic is exceptionally difficult to write about. ''This'' impedes collaborative authoring. c)&amp;nbsp;The book does not really explain ''how'' to commit suicide (like a step‐by‐step guide), neither is it the book’s learning objective. d)&amp;nbsp;Even if ''you construed'' the chapter summarizing various suicide methods ''as instructions'', instructional material on how to commit suicide ''is'' an educational topic. In most ''present‐day societies'' it is not ''ethical'' to teach students how to commit suicide, though. e)&amp;nbsp;Therefore the correct path is to first alter the [[WB:WIW#Wikibooks includes instructional texts|project scope]] to censor books on ethical grounds ''and then'' nominate the book for censorship. ‑‑[[User:Kai Burghardt|Kai Burghardt]] ([[User talk:Kai Burghardt|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kai Burghardt|contribs]]) 04:50, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

*Computer Hardware
*AROS (operating system)
*Applications and Games
*User


[http://www.osnews.com/story/15819 AROS] is one of the intermediate levels between the computer hardware and the user. It is an open-source, clean-room implementation of AmigaOS 3.x that can be run on many different computer architectures. It runs primarily on PC x86 64bit and also PC 32bit hardware but also on motorola 68k and compatibles, some ARM and PowerPC. 

This page will cover enough to be able to write the downloaded image to your preferred media, to run a LiveUSB, LiveCD or LiveDVD on your office/home PC (Live meaning you can test without changing your existing setup) and, ultimately, to use it.  

Intel / AMD PC hardware support mostly covers the years 2000 to 2010 but work is under way to cover recent PC hardware. At the moment, AROS is '''not''' recommended to be '''installed''' on a working vital data holding machine. Instead, writing to and booting from a '''USB stick''' could be a much better option. 

AROS is an hobby OS and can co-exist with Windows(TM), MacOSX(TM), Android(TM) or Linux(TM) and act as an alternative. 
Unfortunately, Aros has few developers so upgrades and improvements can take [https://sourceforge.net/p/aros/mailman/aros-cvs/ time to appear]. 

AROS core is now [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Developer/IncompleteAPIs ~80%] finished and is usable, so keep in mind that the software is still considered ALPHA/BETA and in development. Currently AROS is fun to play with on a curiosity level, but it is also interesting to program. AROS has some multimedia features and has internet access.  

Most importantly, use AROS to its maximum potential as it stands now, find ways to have fun with it and share your experiences.

== Distributions aka Distros ==

For end users there are distributions (ready made with selected apps aiming to be easy to use), mostly created and maintained by one person in their own workflow/style. They reuse the nightly boot compiles to suit their needs and possibly other end users. You are free to create your own if required. 

* For native 64bit Intel/AMD: [https://sites.google.com/view/arosone Aros One x64], [https://tinyarosdistro.flazio.com/ Tiny Aros],
* For native 32bit Intel/AMD which will run on 64bit machines: [https://sites.google.com/view/arosone Aros One x86], [https://www.tinyaros.it/ Tiny Aros], 
* For native 68k [https://sites.google.com/view/arosone Aros One m68k], [http://www.aros-platform.de/ AROS Vision], 

'''Please, keep in mind that the distros listed above use a different ABI (abi v11) , which is NOT binary compatible with the official ABI V1.'''
* For hosted Linux usb drive image [https://arosnews.github.io/aros-portable/ x64 Debian hosted version of Aros One], 
* For hosted ARM there is Aeros and [https://aros.sourceforge.io/nightly1.html RaspberryPi 3 raspi-aarch64-system native 64bit] 


AROS was originally developed on Linux but can run on an Intel-based Linux distro as an app. As time has gone on, it can be run as an app on many more operating systems (Windows, FreeBSD, Linux and limited on MacOS). This may sound strange: an OS running on top of another OS. 
Basically, this is to take advantage of drivers (audio, internet, graphics, etc.) and compiler environments, in the existing OS, with which people may be already familiar. The term we use for what AROS does is &quot;Hosted&quot;. 

AROS Native is the term coined to describe AROS being run without any OS underneath it. It runs alone just like AmigaOS(TM) did. As this version does not benefit from &quot;Hosted&quot; drivers, dedicated ones have to be ported/written. Hence the smaller range of supported hardware / peripherals. We have other pages highlighting this support 


AROS is open source so basically everyone can take part. The source is public on github and there are new commits most days. AROS is automatically compiled daily, result are the nightly builds hosted on Sourceforge. The nightly builds are only used for testing changes, testing software and the starting point for distribution maintainers or even your own distribution. They are very basic, miss some functionality and apps like web browsers and are not suited for end users. 

* The [https://sourceforge.net/projects/aros/files/nightly2/ Nightly2], [http://aros.sourceforge.net/download.php nightly builds File Release Service] or [http://aros.sourceforge.net/downloads/ Sourceforge Project Web builds] are made automatically every night directly from the Github and in the past, SVN (Subversion) tree and contain the latest code for the AROS operating system. It should be noted that the builds have not been tested in any way and can be horrible broken. 

There are two standards ABIv0 (old) and ABIv1 (newest). 
*ABIv1 ABIv11 nightly builds for 64bit PC builds, it is where the most work is done by developers 
*ABIv0 is needed for 32bit (which also runs on 64bit) intel / amd distributions 


==Media==

AROS media tends to boot in this tier list of media types, first internal HDD SSD, CD DVD drive, and finally usb drive (last two can depend on bios boot order) 

* USB .VHD

22bc993625b7c75b17263c0cc7e7baaa *Tiny Aros_copy.vhd (March 2024) 


There is usually a vhd image inside the zip that can be written to USB sticks which is so much faster than the old ISO written to physical CD DVD method. This .vhd can be written to an USB stick / ssd with these pieces of software below but it will erase the previous contents from the usb 

Windows - [https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ RPi Raspberry Imager, use custom and see all files], [https://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/ HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool], [https://rufus.ie/ Rufus up to version 3.20 may work with VirtualBox HD vhd images with Win7 but not some Rufus 4.x versions], [https://etcher.balena.io/ Balena Etcher but may spy on you], 

Linux   - [https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ Raspberry Imager Ubuntu], Suse Image / Multi writer, dd, 

Mac     - 

Most of the time when we get reports of &quot;crashes right after grub&quot; from usb boots it's due to wrongly recorded pendrive. Not aware if using 'dd' is a valid approach. AROS One author suggests using either rufus or etcher software for his VHD image. 


* Virtual Machine .ISO or CDs DVDs 

 The native iso images are currently not compatible with Ventoy, Yumi, MultiBootUSB, Easy2Boot E2B, or similar

&lt;/pre&gt;


You can use a virtual emulator like VirtualBox, VMWare to mount the iso image which can then be used to boot and/or install to USB. 

no software can write an AROS ISO to a Pendrive. The author of ‘Rufus’ (who used an Amiga 500 as a child) once tried, but when he saw the system composition, he said he was unable to do it.

The solution is to boot the ISO from a VM (WMware, VBox), then install the AROS build on the Pendrive, which will eventually become a Live Pendrive that can be booted on a PC.

The only precaution is that in some cases it is necessary to thoroughly clean the Pendrive of any partitions and remove any bootloader that is not AROS. The Pendrive must remain raw without any partitions.

You can clean the USB stick on a PC with a program that manages hard disks. You need to do a partition wipe. On some USB sticks, you can clean it with InstallAROS.


Previously the only installation option was CD-RW or DVD-RW, since the whole system can be burnt onto a single disk and can be reused when the next version is released. Good branded discs like Taiyo Yuden (later JVC) or Verbatim should be used to reduce frustration later. The days for this media is gone but kept here for information 

Since nobody currently sells AROS on any other media, you will need access to a CD/DVD burner to create the installation disk yourself. After it is on a CD or DVD, then access and writing to USB pendrives becomes available (this should be viewed as an outdated or last resort alternative method now), as well as using good USB manufacturers like Sandisk, Kingston, etc. rather than some other no-names. 

Try burning it to a CD-RW or DVD-RW using your CD/DVD burning program (most burning software have a burn iso option). The ideal writing speed is 2x or 4x, higher speeds can give errors and problems.  Check the writing integrity of your CD or DVD if your software has an option to do so before going any further. 

Standalone portable usb cd dvd drives do not boot physical burnt discs, please use an internal ide sata drive instead. 


* SD-card
For ARM Pi Aros, copy the files onto a FAT32 formatted SD card. 


==Booting==

The LiveUSB, and in the past LiveCD LiveDVD, is designed to trial (test drive) various operating systems without having to install them to your working system. 

Since 2011, UEFI was introduced to replace the original PC BIOS which made booting media more confusing. Some changes in the UEFI/bios may be needed 

*go into the bios using esc, f2 or f? and disable the Security -&gt; Secure Boot and maybe apply option for Legacy IDE mode 
*you may have to press F9, F10 or F12 or p on boot up to present a device boot options like USB or CD/DVD 
*disable the Fast Boot config so it would recognize portable DVD-drive and changed the Boot-sequence

Secure boot was introduced by Microsoft and later consortium control what operating systems work with Secure Boot via shims. 
For Aros, it is best to disable or be able to change Secure Boot (if you dual boot with Windows this may cause issues with Window boots after) 

The grub part of the boot should be fully automatic, and you should see a multiple choice graphic card screen after 10 seconds for USB or over 30s CDs and DVDs. 

After the grub graphics choice, AROS takes over the booting and any issues can arise here 


=====Advice for various machines=====

Some of the stages involved and shown on the display in a typical AROS boot start up 

&lt;pre&gt;

&lt;/pre&gt;

; If boot fails, please give us some indication (pictures or videos) where the boot stops and the message(s) on screen. 


AROS's native SATA/AHCI driver doesn't always work. If you get errors related to ahci.device, try disabling it. At your chosen boot entry in the GRUB menu, Press E, scroll down to the ahci.device entry, and add a # or ; at the start of that line or delete it with Ctrl-K. Then press Ctrl-X or F10 to boot. 

If your disk isn't accessible at all with this change, you might need to change the SATA controller to IDE legacy mode in the BIOS: however, making this change will likely cause problems booting Windows on the same machine (if it's already installed). To disable ahci.device permanently, edit the text file &quot;SYS:Arch/pc/grub/grub.cfg&quot;, and remove the ahci.device line from all boot entries you intend to use.

SATA AHCI Timeout while waiting for device to complete operations with BIOS SATA entry set to AHCI mode stops at &quot;waiting for bootable media&quot; screen, changing BIOS SATA setting back to IDE mode may allow it to continue booting 

The ATA driver doesn't always work. If you get errors related to ata.device, try using the alternative in sys:devs/alt which is an older version.  Press E when your chosen boot entry is highlighted in the GRUB menu, scroll down to the ata.device entry, and change it to read &quot;module /Devs/Alt/ata.device&quot;. Then press Ctrl-X to boot. To make this change permanent, edit the text file &quot;SYS:Arch/pc/grub/grub.cfg&quot;, and change the path to ata.device in all boot entries you intend to use.


Further options (removing the &quot; &quot;) to add to the GRUB menus to disable certain other components for debugging:

&lt;pre&gt;
Disable AHCI                        &quot;AHCI=disable&quot;
Disable NVME                        &quot;NVME=disable&quot;

Disable ATA:                        &quot;ATA=disable&quot;
Disable ATA:                        &quot;ATA=nopci,nolegacy&quot;
ATA safe mode:                      &quot;ATA=nodma,32bit&quot;
Disable IDE from SATA:              &quot;ATA=32bit,nosata2pata&quot;
VIA / SIS with cdrom read io errors &quot;ATA=nodma,nopoll&quot; 

noacpi                   all [PCI] devices to be invisible to AROS. disk drives work but network, sound won't 
acpi=strict              if there are issues with sound after boot 

noioapic                 alternative to no acpi 

Set AHCI                            &quot;AHCI=force150/force300/force600&quot;
Disable AHCI/SATA:       comment out with a # ; or remove ahci.device line with Ctrl-K

Disable USB:             comment out # ; or remove pciusb.device and poseidon.library lines with Ctrl-K
Disable native graphics: &quot;nomonitors&quot;
USB3                     &quot;USB=xhci&quot; 
&lt;/pre&gt; 

Other useful grub command line options - nomonitors, noacpi, vesahack, nopoll 

Press Ctrl and X together (or F10) to exit and boot with the new options. Just experiment with different variations until successful. Those working options will need to be reused with every reboot of AROS until you can edit the grub.cfg and make it permanent i.e. install to hard disk or USB. 


* If you use VESA mode, you can see the debug log if you add 'vesahack' to the command  line.  This  will set up split-screen mode. In the upper half you'll see AROS screen, in the bottom - debug log. 
* ACPI ie. PCI hardware - If  you  get  crashes  at  early boot, try adding 'NOACPI' to the command line 


If you're having boot issues and have a null modem cable and a spare pc, a boot log is always useful. Edit your grub line to include debug=serial but would try with an with sysdebug=all in the line later as it can cause issues booting on machines with sysdebug=all enabled (corrupts the cpu initialization). 

However, if you feel you have found a genuine bug/fault in AROS that needs attention, please use the [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=439463&amp;group_id=43586&amp;func=browse bug submission form] to record as much information about what happened, why, and what hardware etc. you have so that people may try to assist you 


For Virtual machines VMWare VirtualBox, etc., attach and press play to start the ISO image 

 If booting hasn't worked then it could be down to Bios/UEFI settings or USB3 (2014 onwards)  


=====nvme.device=====

 Since 2018, nvme drives are standard on most machines 

Now as far as hardware goes on a newer machine with an NVME drive you may need to add NVME=disable as the NVME driver could potentially cause lockups. 


=====AHCI=====

 Starting taking over since 2011 on a lot of machines 

* Check that UEFI (replacement for PC BIOS) has options set to remove UEFI SecureBoot option and apply CSM 
* SATA drive is set for Legacy or a mixture AHCI/IDE and not AHCI 


 AHCI sata can be very difficult to get working

Most Windows installs are already set to AHCI sata, changing this to a legacy IDE mode setting can help but please check if Windows will still boot. Some hardware like Lenovo laptops do not always like being set in legacy mode so only use as a last resort and aware of issues that can be caused. 

Now as far as hardware goes on a newer machine with an NVME drive you may need to add NVME=disable as the NVME driver could potentially cause lockups. 

With a 16C/32T chip machine, disable SMT and it should boot. 


=====ata.device for old BIOS's =====

 Pre 2010 this was the de facto standard method of providing settings to the computer at a lower level 

Some adjustments to the BIOS setup options are necessary (usually by pressing a key like DEL, F1, F2, F12 or ESC, p on the very early boot up of the computer). 

*Adjust booting options like moving USB hdd, CDROM higher as it is quite often disabled or placed lower by default, i.e. USB hdd, CD/DVD are placed at the top above the hard drive. Try looking here [http://www.windowsreinstall.com/articles/bios/ Windows] or [http://www.hiren.info/pages/bios-boot-cdrom Bios] or [http://www.wikihow.com/Set-Bios-to-Boot-from-a-CD-ROM Boot] or web search &quot;BIOS BOOT CDROM&quot;

* At the '''SAME''' time, check if the SATA/AHCI option is set to Emulate or IDE Legacy, though this can have '''issues''' with any OS already on the hard disk. If in doubt, do nothing and seek advice. 

* check that under BIOS settings you '''DO NOT''' have plug&amp;play OS selected as Aros at this point is unable to route interrupts on its own and needs the BIOS to do that. 

'''Save''' options changed at the end. 

PCITool can show if the motherboard chipset is in IDE mode. 
Class = 0x01 means STORAGE, Subclass = 0x01 means IDE. Also ProductID 0x3a20 resolves to non-AHCI mode in Intel ICH10 documentation.


==Installing==

We have a separate section [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/x86_installing here]

We have a specific section for each CPU platform under the Specific platforms in the NavBar navigation bar on the right hand side menu 

error code (-6) when using the ahci.device (has writing to disk problem but not reading) is enabled. change this line in your grub and reboot 

&lt;pre&gt;
#module /Devs/ahci.device      &lt;&lt; disable
module /Devs/Alt/ata.device    &lt;&lt; add this line instead
&lt;/pre&gt;


==File structure overview==

AROS' directory structure is mostly identical to AmigaOS directory structure, with some additions.

AROS: or SYS: also known as DH0: (i.e. the drive partition with AROS system) has the following simplified list of the main drawers (Amigas term for directories/folders). 


{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;
|boot:
| grub bootloader 
|----
|C:
| small apps, where AROS looks first for applications/games but will look at Tools, System afterwards
|----
|Devs:
| .audio, .hidd, network, graphics and other hardware device drivers are stored

=== Filesystem ===

Whilst the kernel is the heart, the filesystem is the blood of the system they are split into two categories (only a few are supported) 
&lt;pre&gt;
Journalling     - ZFS XFS ext4 NTFS SFS PFS3 
Non-journaling  - BtrFS ext2 exFAT FAT32(VFAT) FFS 
&lt;/pre&gt;

Filesystem options for AROS to install 
* SFS default 
* Professional File System PFS3 [http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=52234&amp;highlight=pfs3+free&amp;page=13 only on motorola 68k at the moment] 
* FFS very old now but left in for legacy usage 

Other [https://archives.arosworld.org/index.php?function=browse&amp;cat=driver/filesystem filesystems] for storage purposes 
* FAT32 favorite as most OSs support 
* NTFS (can lock AROS) 
* exFAT 

The only filesystems that really NEED defragging (i.e. disk tidy up) are from Microsoft(TM) - exFAT/VFAT/NTFS
*SFS tries to do exactly the same thing, but in certain cases it doesn't do as well as PFS. But you can defrag SFS 
*PFS *minimises* the amount of fragmentation, but does not automatically defrags as it saves files to the drive 

The setup of the below filesystems is usually done by the distro maintainer but if not....
&lt;pre&gt;
Copy L/exfat-handler L:

DOSDriver or Mountlist entry for an exFAT partition make sure that the FileSystem and Handler are set as follows:

FileSystem     = exfat-handler
DosType        = 0x46415458
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;
Copy L/ntfs3g-handler L:

DOSDriver or Mountlist entry for an NTFS partition make sure that the FileSystem and Handler are set as follows:

FileSystem     = ntfs3g-handler
DosType        = 0x4e544653

Also to make a read-only mount you can set:

Control        = ro
&lt;/pre&gt;


The Smart File System (SFS) is a journaling filesystem used on Amiga computers and AmigaOS-derived operating systems. It is designed for performance, scalability and integrity, offering improvements over standard Amiga filesystems as well as some special or unique features.  

SFS is written in C and was originally created and released as freeware in 1998 by John Hendrikx. After the original author left the Amiga scene in 2000, the source code to SFS was released and its development continued by Ralph Schmidt in MorphOS. 

Its development has now forked; as well as the original Amiga version, there are now versions for MorphOS, AROS, AmigaOS 3, and a version for AmigaOS 4, which have different feature sets but remain compatible to each other.  Versions for AROS, AmigaOS and MorphOS are based on different branches.  

In addition, there is a driver for Linux to read Amiga SFS volumes, GRUB natively supports it and there are free drivers to use it from UEFI.  The Linux version is [http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/programy/asfs/ independent code].  

SFS (Smart File System) partially defragments itself while the filesystem is in use. The defragmentation process is almost completely stateless 

AROS SFS version has a 120GB partition size limit on hard disks and DVDs current 4gig size limit. 
The sources for the MorphOS 64-bit version of SFS were available but no porting to AROS has happened so far due to endian issues, etc. 

SFS Tools 
* GUI - arSFSDoctor, 
* CLI - sfscheck , [http://www.portacall.org/ sfsundelete], sfsformat, setcache hits a usability ceiling around the 10GB / 100,000 file mark, 

 sfscheck dh0: seek purge fraglist defragment

If there are two simultaneous file writes in progress and you reboot machine (or it locks up or crashes) you may end up with a corrupted filesystem. Although arSFSDoctor may help, you might have to copy the files to another partition, format the partition with the errors on and copy the files back. 

A bit error on the harddisk would give this error. 


PFS / SFS are way more advanced and much much faster than the FFS. FFS is supported for legacy reasons only. 
The Professional File System (PFS) is a filesystem originally developed commercially for the Amiga and now distributed on Aminet with a 4-clause BSD license. It is a compatible successor of AmiFileSafe (AFS), with an emphasis on added reliability and speed compared to standard Amiga filesystems.  It also features multi-user abilities like the older MuFS. 

PFS has so many advantages including the important things, speed, the ability to recover all deleted files even simply same name by typing the command &quot;. Deldir&quot; convenient if done in Directory Opus, virtually deleted files are copied normally as if they had never been deleted, other convenience is to not ever invalidate the filesystem, just put it on top of the startup-sequence command &quot;diskvalid&quot;, which automatically corrects any irregularities in the system startup; PFS also provides a device for floppy which makes them very fast and takes advantage of the full capacity of the floppy including the area dedicated to the bootloader.

The device is split into two main areas. At the beginning of the device is the metadata section, which consists of a root block, and a generic array of blocks that can be allocated to store metadata. The rest of the device is another contiguous generic array of blocks that can be allocated to store data. The metadata section usually uses a few percent of the device, depending on the size of the device.

The metadata is stored as a tree of single blocks in the metadata section. The entire directory structure is recorded in the metadata, so the data section purely contains data from files. The metadata describes the location of data in files with extents of blocks, which makes the metadata quite compact.   

When a metadata update occurs, the system looks at the block containing the metadata to be changed, and copies it to a newly allocated block from the metadata section, with the change made, then it recursively changes the metadata in the block that points to that block in the same way. This way, eventually the root block needs to be changed, which causes the atomic metadata update.   

The filesystem is reasonably good at keeping files unfragmented, although there is a defragmentation tool available which will work on an online filesystem ie whilst being used. 

It was the first filesystem to introduce the concept of the Recycle Bin natively at filesystem-level to the Amiga, holding the last few deleted files in a hidden directory on the disk root.  

PFS version 5.3 was developed in C and a small portion of assembly code by Michiel Pelt.  There are endian issues to be overcome and adapting the small amount of m68k to C before use on intel based machines, etc.  


Autoupdate of files in a directory is already implemented in Wanderer, but not all file systems handle dos.library/StartNotify() in its full extent. It seems to work correctly in Ram Disk (thanks to AmberRAM handler), and it also works on SFS formatted devices. Other file systems might not yet have it implemented correctly though. 

The PC equivalent of the Amiga's RDB is the master boot record (MBR).


===Installing Applications===

The typical means to install applications under AROS/AmigaOS involves simply copying/extracting the archive (.zip .lha .rar .tar.gz) file containing the applications files to your own desired location i.e. drawer/folder. Once extracted, launching it by double clicking on an icon (recommended) or using the shell (alternative). Generally, this is on a separate partition from your AROS system files, however in reality it can be any location - including RAM: if you don't want it staying around too long especially when you switch off. 

At some time in the future it may be desirable for AROS to have a package-manager like subsystem able to retrieve information online about packages available for AROS and whether they update anything you currently have installed, however at the moment no such ability exists.


===User Data files===

AmigaOS has no notion of a default location to store user data files, and presently neither does AROS - though it may be desirable at some time to provide a common start location.

For most people, extra small FAT32 NTFS partition(s) as well as the usual Sys: (DH0:) and Work: (DH1:) / Briefcase (DU1:) partitions to store data seems preferable.  Especially if a reinstall is ever needed.  


===User Environment configuration files===

AmigaOS/AROS stores persistent system configuration data in directory assigned to ENVARC:.  This, by default, points to SYS:Prefs/EnvArc.

During boot a copy is made to another assign, ENV:, which is for runtime usage.  Changes to the files here will not survive a reboot.

Setting the env variables is generally done by applications themselves, or when necessary by the user using the SetEnv command. SetEnv has a SAVE switch to force the persistent copy in ENVARC: to be written also for when you are sure the change should be permanent.

Under the standard installation of AmigaOS style OSs, ENVARC: is copied to ENV: upon startup, which, if you have a hard drive installation, is in RAM:, hence, ENV: ends up being RAM:Env.

ENVARC: is the Environment Archive, which is the permanent copy of ENV:, which is the Environment.  It's roughly like the Registry in Windoze. 

Most programs do (and all should) store their settings in ENVARC: somewhere, and load them from ENV:.  The effect of this can be seen in the Preference editors.  If you Save your preferences, they go in ENVARC: and ENV:.  If you click Use, they only go in ENV:.  If you reboot, normally, anything saved to ENV: is lost, and is replaced with a copy of what is in ENVARC:.

you can set the default public screen for any tool started from a cli with the PUBSCREEN variable. So open the pubscreen, set PUBSCREEN to the name and start newcli for example, then the new cli window (and all following windows opened from that window) will appear on that public screen.


===Drivers===

All hardware support is placed in the Devs drawer (folder/directory). The network drivers &lt;something.device&gt; go in the Networks sub-drawer. Audio drivers &lt;something.audio&gt; are put in the AHI sub-drawer. Graphics drivers &lt;something.hidd&gt; are put in the Drivers sub-drawer. 


==Configuring==

AROS has mainly decided on a MUI-like requester/menu/ clone so changing the background, icons, font, menus can be done with SYS:Prefs/Zune 

AROS has several desktop GUI front ends like 
* DOpus5 Magellan II, Wanderer and Scalos (medium) 
* AROS Workbench, Workbook (smaller) 

File / Directory managers like Dopus4, MCAmiga, 

App Launch Shortcuts like FKey, Amistart, BoingIconBar, right mouse click on magellan, wanderer desktop, etc. 

General usability decisions - Prefs/IControl, 


CLI in icon's tooltypes means 'run it as if it was run from shell'
If, on the other hand, the WB parameter (or no parameter) is present in Tooltypes, Wanderer will execute the binary and, if provided, the options included in Tooltypes. 

WBxCLI is very useful for adding options to DOS Commands.

Important: AROS has a different way of managing icons. If you have an executable file, you will never be able to add a project icon. AROS will automatically recognise that it is an executable file and will transform the icon into a tool icon.


Most apps can be autostarted by copying into SYS:WBStartup directory folder 
e.g. WeatherBar.zip can be downloaded, unzip and the contents of the zip copied to wbstartup folder 
 ClicktoFront and .info to SYS:WBStartup so always be activated when turning on the computer 

or add a text line to user-startup is SYS:S (scripts version of wbstartup) 

e.g. standard Amiga / AROS does not allow clicking of background windows to come to the front to make it easy to get to the window you need but it has the ability if these apps are copied again to WBStartUp or are added to SYS:S/user-startup script 

 run QUIET sys:Tools/Commodities/ClickToFront &gt;Nil: 
 run QUIET sys:Tools/Commodities/DepthMenu &gt;Nil: 
 run QUIET sys:Tools/Commodities/Blanker seconds=300 &gt;Nil: 


Exchange controls Commodities and can be opened with alt, ctrl, h 

Although there are heaps of docks, menus and other launcher programs on the Amiga like OSs, FKey has got to be one of the quickest and less complicated ways to launch programs, and it comes with the OS. 

In SYS:Tools/Commodities, the FKey commodity (Ctrl Alt F) allows you to make actions assigned to some combinations of keys 

&lt;pre&gt;
ALT TAB       Cycle Windows
              Cycle Screens
              Enlarge Window
              Shrink Window
              Toggle Window Size
              Insert Text
              Run Program
              Run Arexx Script
&lt;/pre&gt;

e.g.
&lt;pre&gt;
LAmiga F1               = Avail Flush
LAmiga F2               = Open Prefs
LAmiga F3               = Finder
Alt Tab                 = Cycle Windows
LAmiga Tab or M         = Cycle Screens
Alt Up arrow            = Enlarge Window 
Alt Down arrow          = Shrink Window
Alt Home                = Toggle Window Size 
                        = Insert Text             
LAmiga e                = Run Program             
                        = Run Arexx Script        
&lt;/pre&gt;

If your FKey GUI pops up when you start your Workbench up and you don't want it to, click once on the icon, go to the Icons-Information in the menu and make sure it has the tooltype set &quot;CX_POPUP=NO&quot;. 

Now let's launch it and assign the locale switching. After you double-click on FKey icon, launch the Exchange, choose the FKey from list and click the Show button. This will invoke the FKey window. You can see the ALT TAB in list assigned to window switching. Now enter the first key combination, say, ALT Z and go to the right panel. Choose Launch the program from pulldown menu and enter SYS:Prefs/Input as an argument. Append the USE switch and english preset name to the string as shown:

SYS:Prefs/Input USE SYS:Prefs/Presets/english

Click on the New Button to add the another combination. Now set the combination for your locale as shown above, replacing English name with your preset name. Click New button again and then Save Settings. Now you can use defined combinations to switch the layouts.


Although not needed by most users, the system wide ARexx script capability can manage many file manipulation task(s) but this would work only with those program that support [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Developer/Docs/Rexx ARexx] like 

*Desktop - DOpus5, Scalos 
*Dock - FKey, 
*Files - Multiview, DOpus4, 
*Internet Apps - Odyssey, WookieChat, 
*General Apps - 


the shell can be modified with escape strings but not needed in most cases

===DOpus 5 Directory Opus Magellan II===

Dopus 5.x is a whole desktop replacement on the Amiga Workbench (Desktop) 

DirectoryOpus app will assign DOpus5: to it's PROGDIR: automatically but if not add the below (edit SYS:System to suit where Dopus5 was installed) to your startup-sequence 

&lt;pre&gt;
Assign DOpus5: SYS:System/DOpus5 
DOpus5:DirectoryOpus 
;DOpus5:C/LoadDB
&lt;/pre&gt;

Left mouse button clicked twice on the desktop background brings up the Device List window. 
Green strip notifies SRCE (source) and if another is open it will be red for DEST (destination). clicking on the red strip changes to green 

Word list of actions with a left mouse click on the DOWN Arrow and directory stuff with &lt; button which mirrors the icons at the top of each lister 

single-key hotkeys? exactly the same as in dopus4, edit your functions (button bank, toolbar, menus etc.) and under the flags gadget is a key gadget, just click in it and press the key you want to use.

As for the extra text field... try turning off Extended lister key selection in environment / miscellaneous.

===Wanderer ===

Backgrounds icon text sizes, colors, etc. with wanderer prefs in the prefs drawer but cannot use #? or *.* in the backgrounds file entry to randomly choose pictures 

Enable the bar, you need to edit the text file ‘statusbar.prefs’. The change is simple: just change “False” to ‘True’.

Prefs/Env-Archive/SYS/Wanderer/statusbar.prefs

Provides a way to hide the old Workbench 3.1 style of windows and screens. 

Themes - SYS:Prefs -&gt; Appearance 
The default content of Prefs/Env-Archive/SYS/themes.var should be &quot;themes:ice&quot; but can be changed via the theme prefs, please do NOT click the Use button. Its useless. As you know, it will ask for the theme volume. Just pick the theme you want, click on Save, then reboot. 

* Decoration is on. Any time trying to change theme, you get: &quot;Please insert volume Theme: in any drive&quot;? 
You could check if you find SYS:System/Themes or if it is missing. Then you could open startup-sequence which you can find in drawer &quot;S&quot;. There should be a line: 
 Assign THEMES: SYS:SYSTEM/THEMES &gt;Nil: 
This does the trick. 
Open a shell and run: 
 Assign THEMES: SYS:SYSTEM/THEMES 
Than start the Theme prefs again... this should work 

* The theme is the only thing that could slow the system a bit, but it's not that performance impacting on most uses, and you can switch it of completely. Remove C:Decoration from the bottom of the file sys:s/startup-sequence.

===Scalos===

[https://web.archive.org/web/20180922220139/http://scalos.noname.fr/ Scalos] is not an OS replacement, it's a Workbench replacement. It replaces the desktop and graphical file management components. 

Scalos is 100% Workbench replacement with most functions working like the original Workbench ones. Undo and Redo available for most window and icon operations. Fully multitasking so every window has its own task. While loading icons, any window function (e.g. Drag&amp;Drop) is available. 

24bit color support with window patterns - Unlimited and easily configurable via tooltypes. Optimised backgroundpatterns routine so patterns can be tiled, centred or even scaled to fit into the windows. Live updating window scrolling - Supports middle mouse button panning and drawer (folder) windows can be iconified on the desktop. 

Icon imagetypes with all types are supported such as backfill or complement. Configurable surrounding iconborder. Icon support also visually highlights files which are soft-links in the file system. Icon dragging is more stable and far less flickery on graphics cards. Whilst dragging, icons are displayed with text and they can become transparent over anything where they can be dropped. 

Single-window lasso mode, with scrolling window contents invoked by dragging mouse with configurable qualifier key. Text icon lasso selection used to ignore &quot;Name column selects text icons&quot; flag. Support for backfilled thumbnail icons, with selectable color and transparency. Added option to always generate square thumbnail icons with preview icons for images - Thumbnails can be permanently saved in icons. 

Supports PNG icons with alpha channel and real transparency and displays OS3.5 GlowIcons and are all scalable. Iconborders with variations (normal, shadowed, outlined). 

Completely configurable, filetype-specific user-definable popup menus and tooltips. Plugin system to exchange or add features and can enhance the Workbench and make it more configurable. 

Filetype plugins to display filetype-specific information. - Currently, EXIF information viewer for JPEG images is included. Plugin included for 100% support of OS3.9 Workbench features. Plugin included for AREXX API compatible to OS3.9 Workbench. 

Online update with updater.module


Scalos works also as a Workbench replacement. In this case the 'emulation mode' has to be set by using Scalos' own version of LoadWB and offers 
* Scalos uses the Workbench Screen for its windows instead opening a new one 
* AppIcon, AppMenuItem, AppWindow functions are redirected to Scalos
* all Programs placed in &quot;WBStartup&quot; should start 
* The Screen will be reopened in case of changes in ScreenMode and Palette settings

&lt;/pre&gt;


Distros may have Scalos files under SYS:System/Scalos or Extras:Scalos. Known [https://github.com/deadwood2/AROS/issues/75 bug list], 


 Certain files like Menu13.prefs, Palette13.prefs, Pattern.prefs and scalos.prefs need to be in SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Scalos they can be found in Scalos:Storage/envarc and country drawer 

or run the &quot;Scalos Menu&quot; preferences program. Note if already setup with sub-menu entries and then re-save your menu prefs as it will now generate a new/overwrite prefs file called &quot;Menu13.prefs&quot; in &quot;envarc:scalos/&quot;. The same is also required for the new Palette prefs update, click 'Save' and a &quot;Palette13.prefs&quot; file will be saved in to &quot;envarc:scalos/&quot; directory.

Miscellaneous       - 

Plugins             - after adding oop/title_clock.plugin %ti %da does not work, maybe needs ASCII .prefs added 
Modules             - ??
Menu                - setup for MainMenu and PopupsMenu with New Menu, RE Name, Key: shortcut, Command Properties 
FileTypes           - already added def_Project icons and def_Disk (hdd sdd cd dvd etc) support 
PopupMenu           - tweak how popups appear 
Pattern             - Wallpaper backgrounds with Type DE, each pattern in the list can be edited, Save as Pattern.pre 
Palette             - change the color of things , Save as Palette.pre 
&lt;/pre&gt;


Scalos_Prefs - Pattern - Minimum options to be changed are 
*DE Desktop/Background 
*SC Screen 
*TW Window/TextBackground ie Text listing showing if icon type not recognised 
*IW Window/Background ie Icons showing 

 Workflow - In &quot;Pattern List&quot; tab, select New - choose a picture, highlight in list, click in number box under New button and slide to another number, click on &quot;Defaults&quot; tab and adjust Pattern numbers slider to choose right picture for each of the above options - Click &quot;Pattern List&quot; tab to check eveything is OK and click Save 

Pattern List tab on Patterns Page - Allows you to compile a list of pictures (one at a time rather than a whole folder e.g. with #? or *.*), assigning a number Nr to one or more of them for easy reference. Using this number you will be able to assign the pictures to specific windows on the Defaults tab Page. If multiple pictures have the same number, one of the pictures will be chosen randomly. This will allow you to have random desktop pictures, random window backdrops etc. 

Defaults tab on Patterns Page - Here you can set the defaults for the background pictures for the Desktop, Screen, Window and/or Text Mode throughout Scalos. 
Randomize every time [check box] - Usually Pictures with the same number will be randomly selected as soon as the configuration loads. If this option is set, the picture will be selected as soon as a window with the same number assignment is opened. 

*Fit size: The picture will be resized to the dimension of the new window.You *MUST* have set GUIGfx on. asyncron layout: Pictures will be loaded and rendered while the windows opens (Like original Workbench). If this function is 'off', pictures will always be loaded before opening the windows. 
*Use friendbitmap : The picture is present twice in memory for best speed. This option has no effect if V43 picture.datatype or GUIGfx are used. Always relayout: If &quot;Fit size&quot; is set, the picture will be scaled everytime the window's dimensions change.
*Randomize everytime: Usually Pictures with the same number will be randomly selected as soon as the If more pictures have the same number, one of them will be chosen randomly. 

Patternlist New/Delete : Add a new picture. After that you should assign a number to it. The picture will be rendered as tiles. configuration loads. If this option is set, the picture

Asyncron-Task priority: You can set the CPU priority for the Task if &quot;asyncron layout&quot; is set. 
&lt;pre&gt;
Desktop: Number of the Picture for the main window.
Screen: Number of the picture for the Scalos-Screen.
Window: Number of the picture for the Scalos-windows.
TextMode: Number of the picture for the Scalos-windows in Text Mode.
&lt;/pre&gt;


Popup Menu preferences fully configurable menus (includes ToolsDaemon and ParM launch apps import), including support for context-sensitive Popup menus configs for top pull down menus for apps, etc. 

 Workflow - Scalos_Prefs then Menu, New Item, New Command add name at top then in Command Properties e.g. add Workbench and location e.g. DOpus:DOpus4 for apps  Command for c apps or Rexx for scripts or Plugin for  or AmigaDos for modules 

&lt;pre&gt;

*Plugins
&lt;pre&gt;
devicefilter.plugin       
persist.plugin            should a crash or reboot occur - next time Scalos started, all windows re-opened 
title_clock.plugin        add digital clock to title see more below 
title_envvar.plugin       %ev, which can be used to display the value (a string) of the variable in the titlebar 
title_freepens.plugin     
volumegauge.plugin        
wb39.plugin               
wbrexx.plugin             plugin adds a Workbench 3.5+ compatible AREXX interface to Scalos internals 
xtwindows.plugin          left or right ALT or left or right SHIFT keys when open/close windows 
filetype.plugin           then run FileTypes-prefs and customize the filetypes (eg import from a DefIcons-brainfile) 
menu.plugin               
&lt;/pre&gt;


*Modules - delete, empty_trashcan, execute, find, format_disk, information, iconproperties, newdrawer, reboot, rename, systeminfo, windowproperties 


*Tools - scripts like LoadWB, quit.rexx, open_volume.rexx, 


In Scalos_Prefs-&gt;Filetype-&gt;Recognition  you can define the filetypes and on &quot;Action&quot; you define specific context menu for all filetypes defined in recognition (similar to magellan)
there is the same you must show all first (list is only limited) so you created a file type AAABBB, you need to have def_AAABBB icon 

Associating files with &quot;Scalos_FileTypes&quot; is very simple, practically it is very similar to Dopus4, first you create the Def_icons to assign to the file type (will be seen automatically ), then run &quot;Scalos_FileTypes&quot; you add the extension, fill in the descriptor (MATCH or PATTERN etc..) and save 

then you create a appropriate entry in the list and rename it, if def icon exists it is shown. Below you can define how files are identified. I use &quot;pattern&quot;, similar to magellan to identify file by ending. Then you click on the shown icon and define in it what program is used when you double-klick on it and save it. On the tab action you can define popup menu for it. 

defined all archive types from XAD in &quot;filetypes&quot;. If you change to &quot;action&quot; and click on &quot;archive&quot; you can define the context menu that is shown if you do not define a specific context menu for a filetype


Reset to Default in Scalos_Prefs resets all settings so BEWARE 


&lt;pre&gt;
The Scalos desktop screen titlebar may be configured using the main Scalos Preference program. This oop/time_clock plugin adds some additional placeholders:

    %ti, displays the current time in the default Locale format. e.g. &quot;10:43:37&quot;
    %da, displays the date in the default Locale format. e.g. &quot;Saturday 14 July 2001&quot;

Using the supplied prefs program for the plugin, or editing the ASCII file ENVARC:Scalos/title_clock.prefs you can use the following standard Amiga Locale values to change the formatting 

    %a - abbreviated weekday name
    %A - weekday name
    %b - abbreviated month name
    %B - month name
    %c - same as &quot;%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y&quot;
    %C - same as &quot;%a %b %e %T %Z %Y&quot;
    %d - day number with leading 0s
    %D - same as &quot;%m/%d/%y&quot;
    %e - day number with leading spaces
    %h - abbreviated month name
    %H - hour using 24-hour style with leading 0s
    %I - hour using 12-hour style with leading 0s
    %j - julian date
    %m - month number with leading 0s
    %M - the number of minutes with leading 0s
    %n - insert a linefeed
    %p - AM or PM strings
    %q - hour using 24-hour style
    %Q - hour using 12-hour style
    %r - same as &quot;%I:%M:%S %p&quot;
    %R - same as &quot;%H:%M&quot;
    %S - number of seconds with leadings 0s
    %t - insert a tab character
    %T - same as &quot;%H:%M:%S&quot;
    %U - week number, taking Sunday as first day of week
    %w - weekday number
    %W - week number, taking Monday as first day of week
    %x - same as &quot;%m/%d/%y&quot;
    %X - same as &quot;%H:%M:%S&quot;
    %y - year using two digits with leading 0s
    %Y - year using four digits with leading 0s

 like %d %m %y or %a %d %B %Y %p
&lt;/pre&gt;


Shutdown -&gt; right mouse button Scalos, About, Reboot, Shutdown 


ToolTypes can be added to the Scalos.info icon like 
*SCALOS_PATTERNNO=&lt;number&gt; : background image matching the number 
*SCALOS_NOTEXT : The Icon will be drawn without Text.
*SCALOS_NODRAG : The Icon will not be draggable. Its position will be fixed.
*Module iconproperties - Added SCALOS_BROWSERMODE tooltype support

runcommand parameters... in which case:
&lt;pre&gt;
%p = parameters
%w = directory path
%d = device-name
%% = literal percentage token
&lt;/pre&gt;


With the help of the wbrexx.plugin Scalos gains support for more of the compatible arexx API 

If an arexx command produces an error you will find the error code placed in the WORKBENCH.LASTERROR variable.

ACTIVATEWINDOW
&lt;pre&gt;
/* Activate the root window */
ADDRESS workbench
ACTIVATEWINDOW root

/* Activate the &quot;Work:&quot; partition's window if already open*/
ACTIVATEWINDOW &quot;Work:&quot;
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/pre&gt;


Most of Scalos' issue are due to the flexibility of its' user configuring nature but if 


The sort menu plugin needs to be ported from ASM to C.

IIRC Scalos has a command line option to fully replace Workbench/Wanderer.

The Theme: assign is used by both Wanderer and Scalos but I didn't have any problems using both at the same time.


The Program will be started from the Shell.
If &quot;WB Args&quot; is set, with the Argument &quot;%p&quot; will be replaced by the path of the activated Icons. The Program will started with the specified Stack value.
IconWindow: Scalos opens the window of the specified path.


PlugIn: Starts a Scalos Menu-PlugIn.
If a Menu Item with empty name is specified, Scalos displays a separator line.
It's possible to Drag&amp;Drop an Icon in the Configuration Window. All values will be set accordingly. Entries may be dragged across the list.


Mac-like selection : This function activates a multiselection method used on MacOS or Win95. Don't have to hold down shift to drag them. Clicking on an already activated icon will
not deselect all other icons. 

MMB move: The window contents may be moved using the middle mouse button. 

WindowPopup title only: PopupMenu for windows can be opened only on window's title bars. 

FullBench: Screen-Titles removed and Main Window set Full Size. 
Scalos Prefs. Go to Settings-&gt;Scalos-&gt;Prefs and then the Misc section. Remove the tick against Full Bench. If you've enabled it, the titlebar will disappear when you select backdrop.


Default Icons saveable : The icons which Scalos generates if &quot;show all files&quot; is enabled, can now be saved
using &quot;snapshot&quot; menu option. load DefDisk first : Try to read the icons first from the DefIcons Path before using disk info. 


Hide hidden files : If this function is activated all files or directories where the &quot;hide&quot; flag is set will not be shown.

Many of my Icons display more than once on the screen, while on the workbench all seems ok.
The Workbench filters double displayed icons, Scalos does not. Solution: please edit the &quot;.backdrop&quot; file and clear double lines.

Background images not scaled. GUIGfx option not set or guigfx.library and/or render.library not installed.

If working with CD's causes crashs or Scalos doesn't work correctly.
Most Filesystems doesn't support the ExAll function correctly. Disable &quot;Use ExAll&quot; in Scalos prefs.

Scalos doesn't start any program in the WBStartup. WBStartup Path may be set wrongly or Scalos was not started in Emulation Mode (LoadWB etc) 
Some programs will not startup with error message &quot;has not returned, wait some more&quot;? and &quot;unable to open your tool&quot; 


need a def_icon with the same name predefined, then create an appropriate entry in the list and rename it, if def icon exists it is shown. Below this can define how files are identified. 
* either &quot;pattern&quot;, similar to magellan to identify file by ending
* or 
Then click on the shown icon and define in it what program is used when you double-click on it and save it. On the tab action you can define popup menu for it. All in all handling is of course different to magellan but can do similar 

For the RAM Icon, to obtain this you have only to copy the icon in the Icon Path as &quot;RAM.info&quot; or &quot;Ram Disk.info&quot;. All functions will automatically be performed 

sometimes cut into half or quarters when scrolled off screen or drawers moved - settings issue probably  

Sometimes leaves initial drawer window imprint on desktop when moved - settings issue 


Scalos AROS released a [https://github.com/deadwood2/contrib/tree/master/scalos new build V2022-07-21] with the following changes noted:
&lt;pre&gt;
Fixed:
    Numerous crashes when working on 64-bit with 64-bit heap
    Wrong background color of Scalos logo on Scalos splash window
    Backgroung image of Scalos splash window and Scalos About window is not visible
    Icon labels on desktop and in drawer windows are displayed using Topaz instead of Arial font
    Font.prefs are not being loaded on 64-bit
    Font.prefs are being wrongly saved on 64-bit
    scalos.prefs are not being loaded on x86 and x86_64, scalos is using always default preference
    scalos.prefs are being saved on x86 and x86_64 in format not compatible with m68k 
    NewPopupmenu.prefs is wrongly written
    Plugins are not loading at Scalos startup
    wbrexx.plugin is crashing at startup on 64-bit
    Multiple controls missing on Scalos Prefs/Icons page
    System crash when clicking on def icon image on FileTypes Prefs/Recognition page
    Status bar, control bar, buttons sometimes don't have images displayed
    Buttons in Scalos About window have white corners rendered where they should be transparent
    Crash when leaving out an icon
    Crash when adding a User-defined Button to Control bar without setting it's properties in Scalos Prefs
    Crash when removing any button from Control bar in Scalos Prefs
    Scalos Prefs allows editing TTEngine font properties when TTEngine is not present causing crash in Icons/Labels and Text Windows/Fonts pages
    deficons.prefs are not being loaded on x86 and x86_64
    Reset to default in FileType Prefs and Save does not save preferences

Won't fix:
    Scrollbars visible on titles of TrueType Fonts, PopupMenu, Menu, FileTypes, Pallette and Pattern pages of Scalos Preferences

Not fixed:
    Wrong rendering on DualPNG icons 
    Refreshing drawer windows is slow 
    Starting Prefs/Locale or Prefs/Input from Scalos causes other preferences to fail 
    Desktop wallpaper is damaged where Splay window was displayed 
    When started from Wanderer, after saving Scalos Prefs, reload does not re-open main Scalos window
    Difference in behavior between Cleanup from popup menu and Cleanup from top menu - possibly due to missing plugin, check Cleanup association in Menu Prefs
&lt;/pre&gt;


===DOpus 4 Directory Opus===

Copy DOpus4 app to WBStartup directory folder so it starts on boot up each time 

Another method is add the below to the bottom of the user-startup script in S: drawer/directory 
&lt;pre&gt;
run DOPUS:DirectoryOpus -i &gt;NIL
&lt;/pre&gt;
makes DOpus starts up in Iconified state at the top of Wanderer's screen. Left click on this to highlight and right mouse click to open. 


Just click on the sides of either outer edges of DOpus windows and it will display the parent device/volume list. 


DOpus saves it features in a CFG file which can be edited to suit anyones' needs by reading the [http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=browse&amp;cat=utility/filetool Dopus Manual] which is in Guide format. 


===AmiStart===

Auto generates the apps menu but scans the drive each time - AmiStart can choose apps you are not interested 

* how to disable annoying zune/mui 'bubbles'? 
try a right-click on AmiStart and release on Global settings. Then click on the bubbles gadget. Move the Show Bubbles slider all the way to the left.


===BoingIconBar===

User chooses the apps to add to the dock at the centre bottom of the screen but has to be done manually, please use Save afterwards 

Or easier edit the text file of SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/iconbar.prefs and save 

&lt;pre&gt;
SYS:System/Shell 
SYS:Tools/DOpus4/DOpus4
SYS:Utilities/Editor
SYS:System/SysMon
SYS:System/Scout
Work:Extras/Internet/OWB/OWB
Work:Extras/Graphics/Lunapaint
Work:Extras/Graphics/ZunePaint
AROS:Tools/MPlayer/MPlayer
Extras:Internet/AmiFox/AmiFox
&lt;/pre&gt;

right mouse click on bottom edge of screen where boingiconbar shows - select settings which opens BoingIconBar Preferences to add apps 

If no dock showing Add, to add apps click Add Program and search for the executable 

another method is to drag icons to ends of the bar and move them on the Bar using the Prefs/BoingIconBar 


===Icons===

Icons are typically now .png pictures renamed as .info e.g. so Office application name would have a Office.png renamed as Office.info or MyApp.png as MyApp.info, etc.  

Leave Out menu option to leave app icon on desktop 

To select multiple icons and save their positions, click on the first icon and after while you hold the Shift key down select further icons and don't release it before SnapShot is finished.  You can also select a whole group of icons by pressing the LMB at the top left of the icons and while keeping the LMB down moving the power towards the bottom right. A expanding bounding box will appear and all the icons within it will be selected.  

Clean Up menu option (right mouse button -&gt; Icons) rearranges icons in a drawer or disk window into a neater condition. To use, open the window to rearrange and select Clean Up. To keep the icons in the new positions, select all the icons (shift key or mouse selection) and select 'Snapshot' and then Window and then again with All.  

In DOpus5, Scalos, wanderer, most files have an icon file associated with it. To change the default tool, select Icon menu, Information, and change the default tool string. For example, you could use Multiview, Editor and so on for most text, graphics and some sound files as long as the appropriate Datatype classes are installed. For scripts, set the tool to C:IconX 

C:Join Image1.png Image2.png TO MyFile.info
is enough to make a dual state icon from two png images. You can then use Wanderer's menu Icon/Information on it to edit its fields and tooltypes.

[http://www.amiga.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-46881.html Amiga OS 3.x AfA icons thread], [http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=66213 Later DualPNG and OS4 icons thread] and [http://archives.aros-exec.org/share/graphics/icon/ Alternative Icons sets] like [http://www.amiga-look.org/artwork/classic-wb-png-iconset-l ClassicWB] 


[http://www.masonicons.info/6.html AISS toolbar images] unpack unarc them into RAM: and copy Images directory to SYS:Prefs/Presets/ 

AISS icons are looked for in PROGDIR:, PROGDIR:Images, SYS:Prefs/Presets/Images and then in TBImages: according to Open Amiga guidelines.  

there is Demos/iconscale which could be launched from S:User-Startup with two arguments, telling it the horizontal and vertical size. IE something like 
 Demos/iconscale 40 40

It will shrink icons... not sure if it will be very nice though. it doesn't work for the icons on the main desktop. 

there is an option to scale an icon to a bounding box afair, try iconsize followed by two numbers, like:
iconsize 32 32

Is there any way in AROS to change an icon type from Project to Tool or vice versa?
Either the SIT option of [http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=showfile&amp;file=utility/workbench/ ProcessIcon], or the TYPE option of HandleInfo (not sure if this one works at all, please test with care).
 processicon sys:pathoftheicon SIT=Project 

SIT Set type of ICON. Allowed types are: &quot;Disk&quot;, &quot;Drawer&quot;, &quot;Tool&quot;,  &quot;Project&quot;, &quot;Garbage&quot;, &quot;Device&quot;, &quot;Kick&quot; and &quot;AppIcon&quot;.

Btw, are your icons, the #?.info files, writable, is the W flag set ?


===Fonts===

Install the #?.ttf files to SYS:Fonts/TrueType. Use SYS:System/FTManager to &quot;Install Font&quot; each #?.ttf file which will generate associated #?.otag and #?.font in SYS:Fonts. Use SYS:Prefs/Fonts to change system fonts and SYS:Prefs/Zune to change others. 

To achieve our goal we will use the Setup Locale, Input, Zune and Fonts, as well as The FTManager.

Begin

The first step you should do is to get the system to know that we speak and write in another language. What you need to do is to open the setup program and choose Locale country, and list &quot;preferred languages&quot; to put it first and then English. If you want the tab &quot;Time Zone&quot; and select city of residence to set the clock correctly. Of course we save our changes and continue opening the setup program Input. This sets the keyboard language as our beginning. When the language layout was created there was no option to switch to Aros keyboard (layout switching), so to write in the language you had to hold down Alt, something you encounter in other functions. This time working with the team of Aros to create a new keyboard layout to replace the old so we can get rid of the button Alt. For now though let only selected this layout and do not turn the switch on the keyboard.


Custom Keyboard Layout

[http://repo.or.cz/w/AROS.git/tree/HEAD:/workbench/devs/keymaps keymaps are in place but unfortunately when they are not, then indeed things become a bit 'low-level' as it involves redefining some tables with values that match your keyboards] 

only need to add your compiled table as new keymap. 

So taking a little peek here shows that it should be possible to compile using
 gcc -opc105_tr pc_105.c -nostdlib
where the pc105_gr/pc_105.c needs to be replaced with your own adjusted keymapname/c-file

[https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Enabling_Greek_Characters_on_Your_Keyboard General overview of Greek letters on keyboards] 


Installing fonts

*[http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/EPAGrWb System jaggy] 
*Outline resizable .font .otag 
In this step you need to download some fonts that can support the encoding in our system. The easiest way is to run the script &quot;Download Fonts&quot; you'll find in the folder OWB. This script downloads from the Internet, and unpacks some fonts for OWB web browser, which is placed under the folder Fonts:TrueType. But as these can only be used by OWB and not the system, which unfortunately does not see. To make them available to the rest of the system, open the program FTManager, you will find the folder AROS: System /. From there select the field &quot;Codepage&quot; option &quot;ISO-8859-7&quot; and list the font &quot;Arial&quot; and &quot;Regular&quot; form in which you must double-click with the mouse. In the window that appears, select the bottom right the checkbox &quot;Anti-aliasing&quot; button and then &quot;Install&quot;. Immediately folder Fonts: created files &quot;arialregular.font&quot; and &quot;arialregular.otag&quot;, which are necessary in order to see the system font. Do the same steps if you wish for other fonts.


Final stages 

After completing the above, open the folder AROS: Prefs / and run the program settings Fonts. In the new window, select the fields &quot;Icons&quot; and &quot;Screen&quot; as the font &quot;ArialRegular&quot; to the size you want. In the field &quot;System&quot; to give &quot;s_courier&quot;, which, however, because it is not True Type Font support Antialising, and may seem a little broken. You can also use the CourierNew, if you have installed the above procedure. After you save the changes and open the Zune program settings. In this set the &quot;ArialRegular&quot; font fields in tabs &quot;Windows&quot; and &quot;Groups&quot;, and save the changes. Reboot the system. To make sure that the above worked properly run NoWinED, which you will find under the folder AROS: Tools /. If that everything is working correctly you will see the menu and the settings window with Greek letters. You can also write in the language using the button Alt. Second program that you can try, which is fully localized, is WookieChat, which you will find in the folder AROS: Extras / Networking. And in this place all the menu and settings window works. 


===Windows===

*Intuition
The window you position and resize, you right click on that windows title bar and in the dropdown menu you snapshot from there.  Right click to show menu -&gt; Window -&gt; Snapshot Windows or All but it will NOT work if that folder has no icon (e.g. Disk.nfo) attached to it. You need a folder icon. The window information gets saved in it.  

As for maximising the window using a shortcut key - Alt and up arrow key 

The AROS-Shell windows can be moved, resized by editing sys:s/icaros-sequence 

&lt;pre&gt;
; run shell
if ${Icaros/autoshell} EQ true
  run QUIET c:newshell &gt;NIL:
EndIF
&lt;/pre&gt;

; slimmer right aros the screen 
run QUIET c:newshell con:0/150//300/ &gt;NIL:

; top right corner scr-x scr-y win-x win-y
run QUIET c:newshell con:600/150//300/ &gt;NIL:


*Zune - AROS version of MUI
Magic Menu type functionality is implemented in IControl preferences editor: in the frame called Menus, switch type from Pull-Down to Pop-Up and/or iControl just tick the sticky menu option. 


Windows outside screens causing a problem either uncheck &quot;Offscreen move&quot; for windows in IControl prefs editor. Or use FKey commodity and define two key shortcuts: 

* the first using the command &quot;cycle windows&quot; (for example ALT TAB); 
* the second using the command &quot;rescue window&quot; (for example ALT F5). 

Now you can cycle windows until the one you want to rescue, and then &quot;rescue&quot; it: it will move back inside your screen. 


How to save the window size on wanderer (snapshot all, snapshot windows)

Same for icon position on wanderer, can't save the position. Icon position cannot be saved yet, but you should be able to save the window position and size. sys:prefs - wanderer icon has option to save window size on exit but just for dh0. To get saving working on (DH1: Extras:) partitions try deleting the dh1 disk.info file, then reboot. The system should create a new dh1 icon. 


* how to set up permanently 'view all files'?
As for viewing all files, removing disk.info for that disk did the job 

* how to list and kill processes (xkill would be useful) ? 
sys:Extras/System/Scout can kill apps 

sys:Tools/Commodities/Exchange can remove available commodities


* how to restore 'go up' button in wanderer window? (it doesn't show up anymore).
If you're using Icaros, go to the theme prefs and make sure that decoration is checked. Also, some themes do not use a parent button, so try another theme. You may have to restart Aros before the theme will change.

* Is it really safe to turn off (hardware button) computer at any time (worried about USB hard disk)
yes you can turn off the computer IF none of the drives are in progress (i.e. writing). Best to use Wanderer menu option Quit otherwise 


===Printing===

This is still work in progress 


print from my AROS box!
&lt;pre&gt;
1. installed printfile ( http://www.lerup.com/printfile/ ) on my Windows XP computer
2. set up the print spooler option, and used ghostscript filter for ps files
3. made the spool folder accessible from ftp (setting up ftp server on Windows)
4. send the ps file from my AROS box to the ftp server using curl (curl -T filename ftp://windows.box.adress --user username:password)
&lt;/pre&gt;
It's a bit complicated but it works!


*Postscript

Best to set Printer Prefs in the Prefs drawer to print-to-file or parallel/USB port 


Save document in postscript or convert picture/text to postscript 

Print using compatible [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/AROS_USB_support#printer.class_-_PostScript_3_and_internal_ghostscript_drivers Ghostscript printer] or Postscript printer 


*GutenPrint

Some work has been done 

;There are no individual drivers yet for HP's Photosmart, EPSON's EPL, CANON's, Lexmark, CUPS PPD, etc. 


===Files===

====File endings and datatypes====

* Check if the file has his own .info icon file with a tool set to open it. IIRC this has higher priority over the def_XYZ.info file association. 
* In ENVARC:SYS/def_Text.info or whatever def_ file needs changing, use Wanderer's menu Icon -&gt; Information and change the def_XYZ.info there. If you're on ABIv0 and want it to be applied immediately, you might have to copy it to ENV:SYS/ (or to reboot). 
* Identifying file types by file ending is only a fallback. Far better it is to search for magic words, for flac files this would be &quot;flaC&quot; according to this [http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation_format_overview.html documentation]. 

For instance, to open PDFs with arospdf not localised in the default drawer of Icaros (Work:Extras/Applications/arospdf) but localised in a custom drawer in AROS. The default tools are defined in the icons in sys:prefs/env-archive/sys e.g. def_PDF. 


File type identification is done by datatype descriptors which you can find in Devs/Datatypes. The AROS build system has a tool which creates such datatype descriptors. 


'''Changing of default tools of existing icons is easy as shown above. Adding of new file types is not hard, but needs knowledge of the AROS build system.'''


The enduser way would be to download the attached file, which contained two executables:
1) createdtdesc, to make a new datatype description
2) examinedtdesc, to read/show existing datatype descriptions

use 2 to get an idea on how it things are currently done in aros by providing this executable a file from the drawer sys:devs/datatypes/ (alternatively you can find the original .dtd files here).

use 1 to make your new datatype. Use the accompanied FORMAT file (also here) to read how to make your own datatype descriptor. use 2 to get hints from other datatype descriptors.

Note:
When creating a new descriptor would advise against using the pattern property, but instead use the default pattern of #? and create a Mask that matches your filetype. This requires some research in order to discover how your filetype can be recognized properly. Of course with making something like a descriptor for an ascii textfile, you would fallback to using the pattern (e.g. #?.text as the filetype cannot be determined easily otherwise). 

&lt;pre &gt;
# name - choose wisely and informative. also used for icon's name.
# version - choose as you like as long as it complies with version rules
# basename - the 'root' datatype class. be aware that e.g. it can influence behaviour. for example when choosing binary and using tool multiview in project icon, the file will be viewed as binary file (choosing sound would tell mulitview to view the file as a soundfile). So this can influence the underlying tool being used. Could become messy if users started to modify the tool manually. 
# pattern - This is the file pattern match e.g. #?.text
# Mask - A mask to identify the file. Requires knowledge of the actual file structure. For example 'M' 'Z' for an msdos executable.
# GroupdID - not supported (AROS native) files - use syst as that would be the least intrusive in case an AROS tool/program tries to load such datatyped file.
# ID - In your case, the first four characters of the name at subchapter 1 (in lower case) (or less if name is shorter).
# flags - How the mask needs to be interpreted. In your case would be mostly DTF_BINARY in combination with (wanted or not) DTF_CASE (to tell if mask used letters are case sensitive or not)
# priority - the priority of how the type is handled so that on datatype could have precedence over another? In any case, document tells it to be mostly 0. 
&lt;/pre &gt; 

Now that you know each field and what it does (more or less), you write this fields in a text file for your own invented datatype, save it and create the actual dt with the tool in 1. in the end the created dt must reside in sys:devs/datatypes/ drawer.

Then you would create a default icon in sys:prefs/Env-archive/SYS drawer. Don't forget to reboot or copy .info file to ram:env/sys in order to test. also don't forget to set which tool to start f.e. c:lx or dh4:emulators/mycoolemulator

To test, open Wanderer then show all files and doubleclick on a file of type you just created. Alternatively you could use the 'open' command from shell (with file of datatype you just created as parameter).

And as a last note. it would perhaps be welcome to have a program like xicon and/or runprglist for AROS (unfortunately both without source, but something similar could be created for AROS).

Sounds complicated ?

Perhaps... but OS like windows needs a complete registry to be able to do things like this. And yes, i am aware windows has gui tools that does it (more or less) for you (by manipulating the registry). Same could be done for AROS (without integrating a registry in AROS that is ).

Would that suffice ?

red1+2: typos, reformatting.

disclaimer: please note that using these tools can screw up your currently installed support for datatypes when used incorrectly. Do not use if you do not understand what you are doing. Use at own risk.


==Network Connection==

AROS currently only has one real choice for TCP/IP networking - AROSTCP.  This is a port of the AmiTCP package from AmigaOS (TM), with a number of enhancements/fixes from AROS developers. 


 Please use Prefs/Network to set up wired, wireless or USB networking 
 Non USB wifi is easier, USB wifi can be an annoyance - remember to save whilst in prefs 


===Wired===

=====IPv6=====

No support so far 


128bit IPv6 address packet 
&lt;pre&gt;
Local FD::/8
Global 2000::/3
64:ff9b::/96
&lt;/pre&gt;
NAT64 translates IPv6 to IPv4 
DNS64 


OS routing works with 
&lt;pre&gt;
MacOS Ventura 
Windows 11 with cloud account 
Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish 
Android 10 (block google dns) 
&lt;/pre&gt;


====IPv4====

The top half of the IPv4 Configuration tab on the Network Prefs deals with the network card/USB and the lower half the router part. 

[[File:AROS Wanderer Network Prefs DHCP.png|thumb|DHCP Settings]]

'''Upper part of IPv4 tab''' 
* Click Add on the top right of the Prefs which opens a window called '''Interface''' 
* Enter Name as net0 (but can be anything as long as it is consistently used in other sections) 
* check mark on Active
* select device to be used using the '''right hand-side gadget''' of the box where the device name will go 
* set Unit to 0 
* IP Mode is default set to '''Get address from DHCP''' 


* IP Mode set to Manual if DHCP does not work automatically 

From the shell CLI,  ifconfig -a

Under net0: section, inet starting 192.168.x.xxx

* inet or '''Address''' of network card 
* netmask convert to decimal so 0x'''ffffff7f''' becomes 255.255.255.247 which is used to adjust the above '''Address''' into 
* broadcast 192.168.xxx.xxx

click OK


[[File:AROS Wanderer Network Prefs Manual.png|thumb|Manual Settings]]

'''Lower part of IPv4 tab''' 
* IP Mode Get address from DHCP (default) 


* or changing to Manual if automatic DHCP set up does not work 
* '''Gateway''' (Router Internal LAN-IP) (Default Route) = 192.168.0.1 (D-Link Netgear), 192.168.1.1 (Linksys 3com), 192.168.2.1 (SMC Microsoft), 192.168.1.254 (Belkin), 192.168.123.254 (USRobotics) else check with your router manual 
* first DNS = use 208.67.222.222 (opendns) or Gateway number above (to test web browser access to router) or 212.50.160.100 (google)  i.e. or whatever your ISP needs you to set 
* second DNS = use 208.67.220.220 (opendns) or Gateway number above (to test web browser access to router) or 213.249.130.100 (google) i.e. or whatever your ISP needs you to set 


* At the bottom of IPv4 tab, check mark the '''Start networking during system boot''' option 
* Save and reboot (sometimes Network restart fails, so reboot every time to be sure) 


'''an alternative way''' to AROS ifconfig -a, other OSs have similar for the same internet connection. Another connection will have different settings. 

e.g. From [http://www.ncsu.edu/resnet/windows/ipconfig/ Windows], '''ipconfig /all''' 
and note down the IP, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers values and put these values in &quot;manually&quot; into AROS Network prefs. 

e.g. From Linux via dhcp router have a look at etc./dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info 
* for manual input look at /etc/networks (IP or Gateway) and /etc/resolv.conf (DNS) 

 Please note that all in one routers (wired+wireless) or separate routers may need different settings 

IPv4 involves routing (192,168.x.x), firewall, NAT 


===Wireless===

[[File:MyArosWirelessSetup.png|thumb|Setting up]]

[[File:MyArosWirelessTCP.png|thumb|Shell commands to work out what is happening]]

We must first make certain you have a Atheros 5k chip inside acting as the wireless wifi option. Open PCITool in Tools directory. Down left hand side are a series of numbers 0.00.0 etc. Click on some at the bottom and hopefully one of them will say Atheros AR5??? or AR242?. 

or a Realtek RTL8187B, we can check using Prefs/Trident as this one is USB based 


There are many similarities with the above Wired set up so please read the above section as well 


* open Network/Prefs
* In '''IPv4 Configuration''' tab - click Add - enter net0 / active tick / #?.device / Unit 0 / IP Mode = manual (important if default DHCP does not work automatically) 

Make sure that any extra network names (e.g. eth1 or net1) should be deleted. If net0 already st previously, change net0 so that it shows associated with the appropriate device name like atheros5000.device or realtek8180.device. Having two entries here will cause sub-net problems. 

* Go to '''Wireless''' tab and click on &quot;Add&quot; button. 
* Insert network name (SSID your wireless network name use wirelessmanager to get it), select right &quot;encyption&quot; that is most likely &quot;WPA&quot;. 
* Key Type set as &quot;Passphrase&quot;. i.e. type in your password for your router (aka access key). 
* Unselect (no tick) &quot;hidden&quot; if it is selected, then apply. You may have to tick it if wireless does not work. 
* Finally, Save and '''reboot'''. 

For the best chance of success, set networking to start at boot, and then reboot with the USB adapter plugged in. 


===USB Ethernet===

Open SYS:Prefs/Network and in the IPv4 Configuration tag (top table covers your usb stick) 

* click Add button
* set Name as net0
* Tick Active box
* enter the usb-ethernet.device e.g. dm9601eth.device, usbpegasus.device or usbasixeth.device use SYS:c/devlist, '''Scout''' or trident prefs to get the correct spelling 
* set Unit to 0 (which is usual but check the messages from the bottom of the Trident prefs whilst plugging the device in to determine the unit number otherwise) 
* IP Mode is set to Get address from DHCP (make sure your router is set right for that) 
'''or manual'''
* IP Address of network card, i.e. 192.168.0.xx or 192.168.1.xx (xx being greater than 1) 
* Subnet netmask = 255.255.255.0 
* click OK

There can be sometimes be boot failures when using USB ethernet - plug the USB device in after boot and save the network prefs to make it work again. 


Lower part of IPv4 tab covers the router information 

* IP Mode Get address from DHCP 
'''or if manual settings'''
* Gateway (IP Address of router) = usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 but see router manual to make sure. 
* first DNS = use 8.8.8.8, 208.67.222.222 (opendns) or 212.50.160.100 
* second DNS = use 8.8.4.4, 208.67.220.220 (opendns) or 213.249.130.100 


===USB Tethering via Android smartphone===


Go to AROS Network Prefs (IPv4 configuration tab) and write type in &quot;usbrndis.device&quot; in the &quot;device&quot; textfield of &quot;Interface&quot; sub-window, which appears when you add a new device (or modify an existing one). Select &quot;Start Network during system boot&quot; and saved the configuration, the Connection is immediate no reboot is needed.&lt;br&gt;

usbrndis.device is a resident device (virtually always there) in fact, a driver is not present in DEVS:Networks &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Plug in USB cable, go to Android settings and enable &quot;USB Tethering&quot; &lt;br&gt;

A reboot should not be necessary.

When restarting AROS, the Smartphone deactivates the connection and to access the network again have to reactivate it before starting the browser. 


===Solving Issues===

[[File:MyArosTCP.png|thumb|Aros network setup diagnostics - why does it not work?]]

* In Network Preferences, have '''only one''' item in the IPv4 Configuration tab 
* If using manual settings, make sure all numbers are correct, especially for IP address of the card/usb (changing the last number in chain of four) 
* For any USB based networking, it is often necessary to save in Prefs/Network, reboot AROS and network support can begin 


* For wired, make sure that the LAN-cable is plugged in before starting the computer 


* If wireless, try getting closer to the router. 
* Switch off the encryption option from your router then try wifi, if successful then your ip/dns is ok. If not then your ip/dns settings are most probably wrong or need to use one or more opendns numbers 
* Replace detachable wireless antenna (best wireless option to buy if you can) with a stronger antenna ie. 5&amp;nbsp;dBi or 7&amp;nbsp;dBi 
* Try with another computer/laptop/machine 

Program Error  C:WirelessManager 

* Test with another OS 
* Check that Wifi works before changeover (if possible) 
* Check that socket and card are working 
* Check if card is too new for laptop (date code on card MMYY blue askey date 2005-2007 etc)   


Are you connecting with the Router ? 

Check with protection off e.g. wps and wep to see if it makes a difference. 


For USB wireless - stopping and starting may be needed...

&lt;pre&gt;

; $VER: AROSTCP-startnet 1.0 (01/08/06)
; AROSTCP-startnet (c) The AROS Dev Team.
;
Run &lt;NIL: &gt;NIL: AROSTCP
WaitForPort AROSTCP
If NOT Warn
  ; echo &quot;Stack online&quot;
Else
  echo &quot;Wait for Stack Failed&quot;
EndIf

; stop and restart
execute &quot;sys:system/network/AROSTCP/s/stopnet&quot;

Run &lt;NIL: &gt;NIL: AROSTCP
WaitForPort AROSTCP
If NOT Warn
  ; echo &quot;Stack online&quot;
Else
  echo &quot;Wait for Stack Failed&quot;
EndIf

run &lt;NIL: &gt;NIL: wirelessmanager realtek8180.device

&lt;/pre&gt;


What IRQ number is assigned to the device? You can check with Tools/PCITool? 
It's possible the BIOS hasn't set the right IRQ number. If you have a Linux CD/DVD handy, could you check if it boots with the options &quot;acpi=off noapic nolapic&quot;? 


If the following does nothing, this will help us figure out why networking doesn't start automatically at boot

open a shell and run the following commands:

&lt;pre&gt;
echo ${AROSTCP/AutoRun}
echo ${AROSTCP/WirelessAutoRun}
echo ${AROSTCP/WirelessDevice}
&lt;/pre&gt;

Please report the output, typically it will look like this  

# True  (explanation this variable is related to the &quot;Start networking during system boot&quot; checkbox in network prefs) 
# True  ()
# Devs:networks/atheros5000.device unit 0


If there's a problem with the AROSTCP package. What's the output of this?

 ENV:sys/packages/AROSTCP 

should return a string = Sys:System/Network/AROSTCP


By the way, a quicker way to check networking is working would be to run some shell commands such as:


&lt;pre&gt;
ping www.google.com
ifconfig net0
&lt;/pre&gt;


The best way to list the available networks and diagnose / troubleshoot problems with connecting to a wireless network is to run WirelessManager manually. First uncheck the &quot;Start networking during system boot&quot; box in the Network prefs app, then save and reboot. Then run this in a shell:

 C:wirelessmanager atheros5000.device verbose 

or 

 C:wirelessmanager realtek8180.device verbose 

and capture the output 


If the above does not help, could you edit the file SYS:System/Network/AROSTCP/S/Package-Startup, and change &quot;&gt;NIL:&quot; to &quot;&gt;T:wifi.log&quot; on the WirelessManager line and add this as well Wait 5?

&lt;pre&gt;
if ${AROSTCP/WirelessAutoRun} eq &quot;True&quot;
Run QUIET &quot;C:WirelessManager ${AROSTCP/WirelessDevice} &gt;T:wifi.log&quot;
wait 5
EndIf
&lt;/pre&gt;

Then save, reboot and post the log file (T:wifi.log) here.


&lt;pre&gt;

Then it just sits there. Not sure what a normal dump looks like, I don't see anything that looks wrong in the configuration.

looks like the driver isn't working with that card. Has anyone else successfully used that exact model number (AR2413)?

Is your network hidden? If so, did you enable the 'Hidden' checkbox in the network prefs? What distro version are you using? 


&lt;pre&gt;
&quot;ENV:sys/wireless.prefs&quot; looks like this:
network={
ssid=&quot;testadhoc&quot;
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=&quot;12345&quot;
wep_tx_keyidx=0
}
&lt;/pre&gt; 


If your router doesn't broadcast its SSID (hidden), you need to add this option to the network block of the wpa_supplicant.conf on your aros machine and make changes after  # Example blocks: 

 scan_ssid=1

Here's a full description of all the [http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=blob_plain;f=wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf config file options]. 

&lt;pre&gt;
ap_scan=1

network={
ssid=&quot;YOURESSID&quot;
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk=YOURPASSWORD
}
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;
filter_ssids=1
ap_scan=2

network={

scan_ssid=1
bssid=REMOVED
priority=100
mode=0
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
auth_alg=OPEN
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk=REMOVED
}
&lt;/pre&gt;


Error 6: Couldn't resolve host name.

Check Scout -&gt; Devices and look at the device that you are using, in the OCnt column it should state 2 which means AROSTCP and Wirelessmanager are both accessing this driver. If 0 or 1, then uncheck the checkbox in Network prefs for starting networking at boot, save and reboot. Then run this is the shell:

C:WirelessManager realtek8180.device unit 0


some quirks setting up the wireless network as well 

1) it's far better setting up either the wired OR the wireless network adapter as net0:, or weird things happen

2) it's better using fixed IP on the local network instead of DHCP

3) network setting must be placed in network setting panel in /prefs, using the wirelessmanager helped me finding available SSIDs, but not actually connecting to them

once done, reboot.


If previous setup is proving problematic 

&lt;pre &gt;

SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Wireless.prefs
SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Zune/OWB.config
SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Zune/global.config
SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/AROSTCP/WirelessDevice
SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/AROSTCP/db/Interfaces
&lt;/pre &gt; 

Make a copy of these files and restore in case of problems. 


Please try this test to check if you can connect to your router, ie established that the WiFi layer is working 

̊̊̊̊Boot with networking disabled, by make sure that &quot;Start networking at boot&quot; in Network Prefs is unchecked (no tick).  
̊ Run this in a shell: C:WirelessManager atheros5000.device VERBOSE
̊If the output of that command is too long to summarise here, you can redirect it to a file by adding &gt;RAM:wifi.log to the end, then attach or paste that file here.


try running &quot;status&quot; in the shell and check that AROSTCP is listed/running
If AROStcp is not showing, then AROSTCP is not running. attempted to start it by clicking Use or Save in network prefs, or checking the &quot;start networking at boot&quot; box or typing into a shell. 

 Execute SYS:System/Network/AROSTCP/s/startnet

(run Status again afterwards).


The &quot;cannot resolve hostname&quot; will appear if you are blocked on the wifi network by the router as well as aros not being able to assign correct network address.

One way of testing this might be to disable the firewall in the router. you might also check the router how it sees the attempts aros do to speak to it. The easiest way to do that would be to manually give aros an IP number in the routers accepted range. and see if it shows up at all within the router.


Tests that can be undertaken to determine correct settings and functions 

 pciinfo
 sanautil -d broadcom4400.device status

&lt;pre &gt;
 ping &lt;router-address&gt; e.g. 192.168.0.1 (aka inet) or 80.237.146.33 (www.amiganews.de) 
 ifconfig net0
 ifconfig net0 up
 extras:networking/utils/sanautil/sanautil -d atheros5000.device status
 WirelessManager atheros5000.device verbose &gt;RAM:wifi.log
 ;to send the log to RAM disk to be read easier or if detected, 
 Run WirelessManager atheros5000.device &gt;NIL:
 Run WirelessManager atheros5000.device ssid=&quot;mynet1&quot; &gt;NIL: 
 C:WirelessManager realtek8180.device unit 0 
&lt;/pre &gt; 

Please look at the task list in Scout, and check if WirelessManager and AROSTCP are running. Also look at the device list in Scout to check if realtek8180.device is open. 


start tools/debug/sashimi, maybe it shows some debug messages when disconnection happens.


Firstly, let's take a look at what your setup most likely looks like, assuming you use a router. See diagram below: 

&lt;pre&gt;
Internet &lt;---------&gt; home router &lt;---------&gt; computer 
-----------external IP------------------internal IP-------------
&lt;/pre&gt;

Okay, so what am I trying to show you with that diagram. A few things. Firstly, the IP address that connects you to the Internet is not the same one that connects you to your router. What happens is that your computer doesn't have a direct connection to the Internet, instead your router connects to the Internet, and your computer connects to the router.

You can see the external and internal IP addresses in these example settings...

* Default Gateway : 76.91.64.1 (external IP for ISP/Internet host)
* IP Address : 76.91.71.184 (external IP for home router)

* IP Address : 192.168.0.1 (internal IP for home router)
* Address = 192.168.0.161 (internal IP for computer)

As you can see, there are two internal IP addresses and two external IP addresses. This is because there is a client/server relationship, effectively one address is for the service (server) and one address is for the device trying to access that service (client).

The server addresses in your case are 76.91.64.1 (your ISP's address, serving the Internet), and 192.168.0.1 (your home router's address, serving your home network). The term gateway applies here, they are your gateway to those services.

Subnet masks are used along with IP addresses to determine which IP addresses are allowed access to a network. I did learn the more in-depth rules about subnet masks once (watched a CCNA vid), but I've forgotten about it. The basic level of understanding you'll need is easy to remember though. A subnet mask value of 255 means that portion of the IP address must stay constant, whereas a subnet value of 0 means any unassigned value up to 255 is allowed in the IP address.

By far the most common subnet value is 255.255.255.0. What this means is that the first three parts of the IP address you use to connect to a service must stay the same as the server/gateway address, and only the last section can change.

So if your router's internal IP address is 192.168.0.1, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the only addresses that will be allowed to be used on that network are between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.255 (I think 192.168.0.0 is reserved for other uses).

Final point to make is about DHCP (a.k.a. dynamic IP) vs static IP. A server/router using DHCP gives a device that connects to it an address within the acceptable range. It usually starts with the lowest numbered free address, so with your router it'll give the first device that connects to it 192.168.0.2, the next device 192.168.0.3, and so on. Static IP addresses are where you set the IP address you want to connect with in advance. 

When using static IP addresses on a router where DHCP is active, it's good to use a high number to avoid conflicts with other devices that are connected to your network, to reduce the risk that both devices will try using the same IP. That's why your current choice of 192.168.0.161 is good, unless you have over 159 devices connected on your current network!


Okay, so what's the next step. Well, if you can use ping, I'd suggest pinging 192.168.0.1. If you get a positive response it means you're connected to your router, if you don't get a response it means the connection between your router and your computer is at fault.

Documentation on configuring the AROSTCP environment further can be found [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/User/Networking here] 


===File Sharing===

As AROS knows only a few filesystems (FFS, OFS, SFS, PFS (amiga only), FAT12, 16, 32, Microsoft NTFS (windows), UDF (Blu-ray)). 
The others in regular use like MacOSX hfs+, Linux ext2/ext3 and ext4, Haiku BeFS provide a problem in transferring files. 

Linux can access SFS partitions but it needs to be compiled. The latest full source are [http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/programy/asfs/ here]. It compiled fine with a 2.6.30 kernel in Puppy Linux 4.31. 

An alternative, is to use a FAT32 partition to share. Setup first with a 2G FAT32 partition for sharing, and the rest of the space as SFS for an Aros install. It works very well. 

Files could be transferred via TCP internet network. 


====SMB2/3====

With Windows you can share one folder or all folders of the &quot;Public&quot; user.

On Windows what is important is to enable sharing (Network and Sharing Center).

AROS Mountlist should look lke this 
&lt;pre&gt;
Handler = L:smb2-handler
StackSize = 65536
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
ACTIVATE=1
Startup = &quot;smb://UserAcc:password@PCShare/Sharefolder&quot;
&lt;/pre&gt;

which could also be
&quot;smb://UserPC:password@192.168.x.x/Public&quot;
or
&quot;smb://UserPC:password@Name-PC/Public&quot;

so
&quot;smb://UserPC:password@192.168.1.158/Folder&quot;
or
&quot;smb://UserPC:password@Name-PC/Folder&quot;


After you have configured a share generates a DOSDrivers it is named &quot;SMB0&quot; which includes the setting, and at each reboot it is Mounted. You can still delete the DOSDriver by hand, is located in Storage/DOSDrivers, the file &quot;ServerAutoMounts&quot;, in ENV:AROSTCP which indicates the DOSDriver to be mounted, should also be deleted. 
The per-mount files are written to ENV:SMB or SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers. There is also additional file ENV:AROSTCP/ServerAutoMounts which states what will be presented to the end user. 


====Old SMBFS====

e.g. to connect to a NAS share such as \\NASBOX\Shared use -:

SMBFS WORKGROUP=&lt;YOUR WORKGROUP NAME&gt; VOLUME=&lt;AROS volume name to use&gt;: SERVICE=&lt;UNC Path to connect to&gt;

SMBFS WORKGROUP=MYNET VOLUME=Shared: SERVICE=//NASBOX/Shared

And you will then have an icon appear on your desktop for the volume name you have chosen. 


You can put the above script into wbstartup or  

give it an icon, change it to a 'project' and give it the default tool c:iconx 

Open a shell and type copy sys:script.info &quot;sys:wbstartup/YOURSCRIPTNAME.info&quot;

This should create an icon for your script file.

Now right-click on your script and select 'information'.

Change 'tool' to 'project', put 'c:iconx' into the 'default tool' box, click save 

The reason being that scripts need to be opened with 'execute SCRIPTNAME' (or 'iconx') whereas the programs started from wbstartup are opened using 'run PROGRAMNAME'. It's the same as trying to start a command-line tool from the workbench by double-clicking it.


====Setup ISO images within AROS====

Use [http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=browse&amp;cat=driver/storage DiskImage] which supports many cd image formats ISO, CCD, MDF/MDS, CUE/BIN, NRG and UIF. To mount CD or DVD images use below....

&lt;pre &gt;
# Rename your iso 'Unit0' (note no extension).
# Do 'View/All files' on you Aros partition. You should now see a folder called 'Diskimages'. Copy your renamed iso to there. 
(Alternatively, you could type at the shell 'assign FDSK: xxx', where xxx is the location of your iso.) 
# From the shell, type 'mount CD0:' and the iso should appear on the Wanderer desktop. You can now access it like a real disk.
&lt;/pre &gt; 

 assign devname: dismount 
 Assign DOSVOLUME: remove
 [http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/unmount-0.1 unmount] most filesystems work but SFS lacks support for ACTION_DIE packet 

If you are using an IcAros install, the startup scripts are set up to wipe the Diskimages directory on boot, so its worth keeping a second copy of the iso somewhere else. Alternatively, you could set up extra mountlists for additional iso images. I've made a file called iso1 in the Aros:devs directory that contains the following text:

&lt;pre&gt;
/* Entry for ISO image */

ISO1:
FileSystem = cdrom.handler
Device = fdsk.device
Unit = 1
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 0
Surfaces = 1
BlocksPerTrack = 1
DOSType = 0x41434400
Activate = 1
#
&lt;/pre&gt;

Then I just need an iso called 'Unit1' (corresponding to the 'Unit = 1' entry in the mountlist) in Diskimages (or wherever I assign FDSK: to) and to mount I type in at the shell:

 Mount iso1: from devs:iso1

Of course, if you create mountlists for ISO2, ISO3:, etc. (with the corresponding change to the 'Unit = ' line) you can have as many isos mounted as you wish. I just call mine ISO1: etc. to distinguish them from the real CD drives

===History===

The project was originally started by a small group of Amiga [http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/aros.html enthusiasts] in 1995. These individuals were mainly computer-based college university students at the start, though that student trend has diminished since. An interview with Aaron Digulla [http://arosshow.blogspot.com/2006/12/interview-with-aaron-digulla-who.html here] 

* 1992 Commodore folds 
* 1996-1998 much of the early years was concerned with exec, dos and intuition libraries. 
* Early 1999, Haage &amp; Partner used parts of the AROS code in AmigaOS 3.9. 
* March 2001, floppy disk images of AROS became available. 
* Early 2002, AROS changed its name from Amiga Replacement Operating System to Amiga Research Operating System 
* June 2002, AROS devs decided to use Zune (MUI 3.8 rewrite) as the GUI system. 
* November 2002, Eric Schwartz drew Kitty for AROS usage. 
* Early 2003, AROS.org underwent a graphics facelift. 
* Late 2003, GCC C compiler arrived. 
* Early 2004, Aros-Exec opened. 
* Early 2005, Aros Max bootable CD arrived. 
* Late 2005, SFS filesystem ported and allowed fast access to apps and network support arrived 
* Early 2007, AROS.org underwent another graphics facelift. 
* Mid-2007, AROS changed to AROS Research Operating System after A.Inc. sued Hyperion with a trademark violation. 
* Late 2007, the hard disk installer added and VmwAROS (later called Icaros Desktop) distro launched. 
* Early 2009, Our first usable web browser (OWB)
* September 2010, first wireless support appears and AspireOS started as a distro 


* Early 2012, the first paper-cut bugfix and Fab's Odyssey Web Browser ported 
* Early 2014, backport of most features of ABIv1 into mainstream everyday use (Icaros 2.0 and above) 
* 2015 work started on using the extra cores of the PI 2 
* Early 2017, work started on utilising the addition cores on modern CPUs starting with the 64bit x86 version  
* Mid-2017, m68k port optimized for the Vampire 2 / Apollo accelerators (68080 AMMX FPGA) 
* 2018 The old AROS Exec website closed and a new one opened 
* 2019 AROS One distribution started and now with USB install version 
* Early 2021, backport of more features of ABIv1 into mainstream everyday ABIv0 (Aros One 1.5 and above) 
* 2025 year of 64bit pc builds and porting 32bit applications to 64bit ABIv11


===Bounties===

To help inspire developers with both ideas and monetary incentives, rewards are offered for the successful completion of &quot;bounties&quot; (requests for missing/new functionality) chosen by the community and handled by [http://power2people.org power2people] (formerly done by TeamAROS). A monthly option is [http://www.power2people.org/funds/aros/ here].


Future goals for AROS include expanding its underlying retargetability to support even more diverse architectures, provide memory protection features and user level file security, SMP and many other wonderful features missing from AmigaOS &amp;mdash; while still providing as much source level compatibility as is possible (however it is accepted that to achieve some goals code certain things may require a little recoding).

== Images lost in Engineering Acoustics ==

Hello,

I just made an updated PDF version of the wiki book on Engineering Acoustics.
During this processes I realized that 19 Images are missing. I left the respective chapters out of the PDF version. You can find the missing files by opening https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Engineering_Acoustics/Print_version in your web browser and search for the text File: . I am not sure why they were deleted. But possibly they were moved to Wikimedia Commons first and deleted after that. I could try to restore the from the 16 years old PDF version but I lack any authorship information so I think we need to redraw all of them. Furthermore I realized that some of the rest of the images in the wiki book have got a very poor resolution

== Citing WikiBooks? ==

Wikipedia has a page for Citing Wikipedia, but I haven't found one here, so I have a few questions:

# How would I cite Wikibooks in an essay?
# Do I need to cite sources on Wikibooks? If so, how?

[[User:BlazeFlames|BlazeFlames]] ([[User talk:BlazeFlames|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/BlazeFlames|contribs]]) 22:48, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

:# This should give you a good method: https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/how-to-cite-wikipedia/
:# Generally, no. We have [[Wikibooks:Policies and guidelines|no policy that requires or prohibits citing sources]] and we have a [[Help:Editing#References|help page on how to do it]], with a [[Wikibooks:Templates/Sources|number of templates]] to standardize the process. There is definitely value in citing sources, so I don't want to discourage it.

== Unhide the FlaggedRevs comment box? ==

:''Reposted from [[Wikibooks:Reading room/Archives/2026/April#Is this CSS code necessary?]] as the former link had no participation.''
I propose unhiding the FlaggedRevs comment box (via MediaWiki:Common.css) because it might be useful to add in a comment when reverting with the FlaggedRevs reversion, unlike rollback. It might also be useful in cases to add a comment on what the user edited when accepting a revision. Thoughts?

'''Legal &amp; Safety Contacts'''

Hello community, the Wikimedia Foundation has provided a [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Wikimedia Foundation Legal and Safety Contact Information|single legal and safety contact page]], to be linked in the footer of your wiki, to ensure access to accurate legal information. This is a regulatory requirement. We have already rolled out links to English, German, Italian, Spanish and other wikis and we will deploy to your wiki soon. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Legal_and_Safety_Contacts_FAQ|Please read more on the project page]] and leave any comments in this thread or on the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Wikimedia Foundation Legal and Safety Contacts FAQ|talk page]].

== A question about the user right move-subpages ==

Even though reviewers have the ability to move 100 pages per minute (per InitialiseSettings.php), they do not have &lt;code&gt;move-subpages&lt;/code&gt;, which allows moving a book (with all its subpages) in one single action. Is this user right considered sensitive (hence it is restricted to administrators by default)? [[User:Codename Noreste|&lt;span style=&quot;color:#0024FF&quot;&gt;Codename Noreste&lt;/span&gt;]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 04:23, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

:I'm not 100% sure what the problem is as long as mass moving is limited to admins in the first place, as this can really cause problems (I recently encountered this mass-moving 100 out of c. 260 pages on a wiki). I support filing a ticket at [[:phab:]] to extend [[:mw:Manual:$wgMaximumMovedPages|$wgMaximumMovedPages]] to 1,000. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''&lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;v&lt;/span&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 05:33, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello! There will be two '''[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9 Wikimedia Café]''' discussion opportunities in July. Both sessions will focus on Wikimedia governance, including possible follow-ups to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Charter Movement Charter] and options for reform. Participants may attend either or both Café sessions. 

This month, to deconflict the Café meetups from Wikimania, the meetups will be held one day later than usual.

#'''26 July 2026 15:00 UTC''' ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1785078000 timestamp converter]), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe

I'd recommend giving mnesia its own section as there's easily enough content:

* Mnesia
** Creating a Database
*** Schema
**** Table copy types
*** Loading from textfiles
** Using mnesia
*** Read/write/delete
*** Locks
*** Queries
** Managing Mnesia
*** Backup/restore
*** Adding db nodes
*** Creating, deleting and altering table copies
** Fragmenting Tables
** Distributing Tables
*** Local content
*** Copies
** Performance
*** Dirty operations
:Writing a Mnesia section in this book is a good idea due to the database's feature set and usefulness. I'll consider adding some information there.

It'd be great to have a print/pdf version of Erlang Programming.</text>

Welcome to the '''Administrative Assistance reading room'''.  You can request assistance from [[WB:ADMIN|administrators]] for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.

You can deal with most vandalism yourself: [[Wikibooks:Dealing with vandalism|fix it]], then [[Wikibooks:Templates/User_notices|warn the user]]. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikibooks #wikibooks] (say &lt;code&gt;!admin&lt;/code&gt; to get attention).

For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the [[WB:HELP|Assistance Reading Room]].

Welcome to the '''Administrative Assistance reading room'''.  You can request assistance from [[WB:ADMIN|administrators]] for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.

You can deal with most vandalism yourself: [[Wikibooks:Dealing with vandalism|fix it]], then [[Wikibooks:Templates/User_notices|warn the user]]. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikibooks #wikibooks] (say &lt;code&gt;!admin&lt;/code&gt; to get attention).

For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the [[WB:HELP|Assistance Reading Room]].

The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the '''World Manufacturer Identifier''' or '''WMI''' code. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks. 

===WMI Regions===
The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. Common auto-manufacturing countries are noted. &lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

      <text bytes="134682" sha1="0qln42t7owa5qvn91rnqrp6w2i0ub8f" xml:space="preserve">==World Manufacturer Identifier==
The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the '''World Manufacturer Identifier''' or '''WMI''' code. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks. 

===WMI Regions===
The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. Common auto-manufacturing countries are noted. &lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

      <text bytes="134790" sha1="l80mt85wzph1wz4btc4uf06842a8fns" xml:space="preserve">==World Manufacturer Identifier==
The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the '''World Manufacturer Identifier''' or '''WMI''' code. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks. 

===WMI Regions===
The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. Common auto-manufacturing countries are noted. &lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

      <text bytes="134819" sha1="ppm5neeo7mb82sqn2pdmtf417sspanc" xml:space="preserve">==World Manufacturer Identifier==
The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the '''World Manufacturer Identifier''' or '''WMI''' code. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks. 

===WMI Regions===
The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. Common auto-manufacturing countries are noted. &lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

      <text bytes="134831" sha1="dvk455qv9l0hgglhka1gzjxhjnj54ev" xml:space="preserve">==World Manufacturer Identifier==
The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the '''World Manufacturer Identifier''' or '''WMI''' code. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks. 

===WMI Regions===
The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. Common auto-manufacturing countries are noted. &lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

      <text bytes="134865" sha1="hijndsaf1w5dptpldgpzqsss9krn408" xml:space="preserve">==World Manufacturer Identifier==
The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the '''World Manufacturer Identifier''' or '''WMI''' code. A manufacturer that builds fewer than 1000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars; 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars; and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks. 

===WMI Regions===
The first character of the WMI is the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture. Common auto-manufacturing countries are noted. &lt;ref&gt;{{cite web

It is the tenth digit that gives you the model year for GM. I've been working at a Chevy dealer for years running codes/vins. For example (my examples only apply to 2001-2015 gm vehicles)
Remember 10th digit from the beginning, (left to right).
2001... 1, 
2002...2, 
2003...3, 
etc., 
2009...9. 
After 2009, the tenth digit was given a letter
2010... A, 
2011...B, 
2012...C, 
2013...D, 
2014...E, 
2015...F, 
Etc...
We have another 20 years worth of letters.
Thanks for reading.
You can always check your model year by looking in your drivers side door jamb and it will give you model year. If it was assembled in July or later, the model year is probably a year later than the calendar year of the manufacturing date listed.

==American GM==
===American VIN format 1981-1984 Passenger Car===
GM's VIN format is as follows:

&lt;table border=1 style=&quot;margin:auto;&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Position&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Sample&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td rowspan=3&gt;[[#GM WMIs|World Manufacturer Identifier]]&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;2&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;G&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;

===Platform &amp; Series Codes 1985- Passenger Car===
GM used a lettered system of automobile platform codes for three decades. These letters were used as the 4th position of the VIN. Though today's GM platforms use Greek characters, they are still encoded with Latin characters in the 4th position. Position 5 encodes the specific model and trim level of the vehicle.

It is the tenth digit that gives you the model year for GM. I've been working at a Chevy dealer for years running codes/vins. For example (my examples only apply to 2001-2015 gm vehicles)
Remember 10th digit from the beginning, (left to right).
2001... 1, 
2002...2, 
2003...3, 
etc., 
2009...9. 
After 2009, the tenth digit was given a letter
2010... A, 
2011...B, 
2012...C, 
2013...D, 
2014...E, 
2015...F, 
Etc...
We have another 20 years worth of letters.
Thanks for reading.
You can always check your model year by looking in your drivers side door jamb and it will give you model year. If it was assembled in July or later, the model year is probably a year later than the calendar year of the manufacturing date listed.

===Platform &amp; Series Codes 1985- Passenger Car===
GM used a lettered system of automobile platform codes for three decades. These letters were used as the 4th position of the VIN. Though today's GM platforms use Greek characters, they are still encoded with Latin characters in the 4th position. Position 5 encodes the specific model and trim level of the vehicle.

[[File:YouTube 2024.svg|200x200px|YouTube Logo]]

==History==
[[File:Youtubeheadquarters.jpg|thumb|Early Headquarters in San Mateo]]
In 2005, three employees of PayPal, Chad Hurley, Jawed Karim, and Steve Chen, founded the website [YouTube] so that people could upload and share videos. but suddenly happened that abhay chaturvedi become one year old and they started to worry so In November 2005, Sequoia Capital gave 3.5 million dollars in funding to YouTube and from there it was officially launched. In April 2006, Sequoia and Artis Capital contributed an additional 8 million dollars to the rapidly growing company.  &lt;ref&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_YouTube accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;.  Within one year of the funding, YouTube was purchased by Google Inc. for 1.65 billion dollars. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.  At the completion of the sale, Sequoia Capital’s Google shares were estimated at more than $442 million, Chad Hurley’s were estimated at $345 million, Steve Chen’s at more than $326 million, Artis Capital's shares were at more than $83 million, and Jawed Karim’s at more than $64 million. &lt;ref&gt;http://logicbank.com/2007/02/09/google-sec-filing-reveals-youtube-investors-win-big/ accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;

A lawsuit was brought up against YouTube and Google in March 2007 by Viacom, who claimed that “we must turn to the courts to prevent Google and YouTube from continuing to steal value from artists and to obtain compensation for the significant damage they have caused.” After this event, more than 100,000 videos had to be removed. However, YouTube continued to grow and released versions in many different languages, including Spanish, French, and Japanese. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

On March 6, 2007, TeacherTube was officially launched with the purpose of sharing instructional videos to the online community. Jason Smith was a 14-year veteran teacher, coach, and administrator who came up with the idea for this site. It provides the opportunity for teachers to teach students, as well as other teachers, concepts or skills. &lt;ref&gt;http://teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

Most importantly, TeacherTube community members are a major part of the evolution of the site. Members are encouraged to not only upload educationally relevant videos, but also to make constructive comments and use the rating system to show appreciation for videos of value to one as an educator or learner. &lt;ref&gt;http://www1.teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about accessed March 6, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;

Teachers can create a digital portfolio to share lesson plans with colleagues all over the world, thus creating a sense of community in education. &lt;ref&gt;http://teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

== YouTube Guidelines ==

&lt;ref&gt;http://www.youtube.com/t/community_guidelines.html accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;

==Privacy==

Copyright means that when a person creates an original work of authorship, it is protected by law. Original work can be anything that can be read, heard, and/or seen. A person’s work is protected as soon as it is “created and fixed in a tangible form.” Original work can be either published or not published and still be protected by law.[https://www.copyright.gov/] 


Creative Commons (CC) is a website that promotes collaboration among the general public and creators.  This site allows the general public access to work created by others.  People are given the right to use or modify the works of originial authors.   There are six CC licenses. These licenses will let authors decide what others can do with their original work.&lt;ref&gt;http://creativecommons.org/accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;.

[http://creativecommons.org/] [[File:Creative_commons.jpg‎|middle right|150px]]

YouTube takes copyright very seriously. They have established a new technology for copyright holders.  It is called Content ID.  This is a set of tools that helps people who upload videos to YouTube be able to find their content and allows them to decide what they want to do when they find it.  These users may block it, leave it up, or make money from it. If a user believes that a video posted on YouTube is violating their copyright, they may flag the video and select &quot;infringes my copyright&quot; from the list of options provided.  This information will then be reviewed by the YouTube board.  &lt;ref&gt;http://www.youtube.com/t/faq accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;.

== Benefits ==
There are many benefits of using YouTube and TeacherTube. Here is a list of some of those benefits:

1. It is Free to use

2. It is user friendly

3. View any video tutorial on any subject

4. Share videos globally

5. Express one’s creativity

6. One can become famous

7. Hidden talents are found

8. Videos are a powerful teaching tool

9. Stay current on any subject

10. Don’t need expensive equipment

== Educational Impact ==

Both YouTube and TeacherTube provide educational lectures and instructional videos that teaches new information to the learner or reinforces material that has already been learned. Both sites contain numerous student projects, experiments, and professional development clips even for the teachers. Several colleges, such as the University of California Berkeley and Vanderbilt, have partnered with YouTube to provide the schools with channels for lectures and interactive web-sites. The video-clips allow students to explore the topic beyond the assignment. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.convergemag.com/edtech/Is-Education-Ready-For-YouTube.html accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;

Being able to share so much information with others who are so far away can change the role of teachers and students in the future. With this valuable tool, students are able to explore, problem-solve, foster debates, and think critically.

Teacher Tube contains a teaching resources page.  Individuals can upload video, documents, audio, and photos.  The Teacher Vision section contains lesson pland, printables and more.  These resources are organized by subject, grade, and theme. &lt;ref&gt;http://www1.teachertube.com/teachervision.php accessed March 6, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;

== Criticisms ==
Some YouTube users are breaking the copyright law, because users are uploading videos that they did not make and claiming as their own. Others are posting videos that may be offensive and not socially correct. There are also mature videos and videos with violence in them that are not suitable for young children. Kids also have free rein to watch any video of their choice.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_YouTube]

Users have the ability to preserve the integrity of the site by flagging inappropriate videos and copyright violations. TeacherTube staff review flagged sites and will remove any inappropriate posts. With more collegial commentary and discussion through messaging and responses, the quality of this resource will only increase.  [http://www1.teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about]

==Tosh.O==
[[File:Daniel Tosh (cropped).jpg|thumb|Daniel Tosh]]
YouTube has been a hot topic in the news since its creation.  However, on June 4, 2009 YouTube made its debut on Comedy Central in a show called Tosh.O.  In its first season it recorded a startling one million viewers per episode.  It was noted that by 2010, this show has had up to 2.7 million viewers per episode.  This hit-TV show focused on the viral videos that are watched on YouTube.  The host, Daniel Tosh, then uses comical language and discusses the videos on the spot to his viewers.  There is also a section of each episode known as &quot;Web Redemption&quot; where they invite a person (from a viral video) onto the TV show to defend or explain their actions that were captured on the YouTube video.  Daniel Tosh realized the popularity and opportunities that YouTube possessed, created this TV show, and is now extremely successful and profitable.&lt;ref&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tosh.0&lt;/ref&gt;

== '''YouTube and Teacher Tube in Education''' ==

[[File:YouTube 2024.svg|200x200px|YouTube Logo]]

==History==
[[File:Youtubeheadquarters.jpg|thumb|Early Headquarters in San Mateo]]
In 2005, three employees of PayPal, Chad Hurley, Jawed Karim, and Steve Chen, founded the website [YouTube] so that people could upload and share videos. In November 2005, Sequoia Capital gave 3.5 million dollars in funding to YouTube and from there it was officially launched. In April 2006, Sequoia and Artis Capital contributed an additional 8 million dollars to the rapidly growing company.  &lt;ref&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_YouTube accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;.  Within one year of the funding, YouTube was purchased by Google Inc. for 1.65 billion dollars. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.  At the completion of the sale, Sequoia Capital’s Google shares were estimated at more than $442 million, Chad Hurley’s were estimated at $345 million, Steve Chen’s at more than $326 million, Artis Capital's shares were at more than $83 million, and Jawed Karim’s at more than $64 million. &lt;ref&gt;http://logicbank.com/2007/02/09/google-sec-filing-reveals-youtube-investors-win-big/ accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;

A lawsuit was brought up against YouTube and Google in March 2007 by Viacom, who claimed that “we must turn to the courts to prevent Google and YouTube from continuing to steal value from artists and to obtain compensation for the significant damage they have caused.” After this event, more than 100,000 videos had to be removed. However, YouTube continued to grow and released versions in many different languages, including Spanish, French, and Japanese. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

On March 6, 2007, TeacherTube was officially launched with the purpose of sharing instructional videos to the online community. Jason Smith was a 14-year veteran teacher, coach, and administrator who came up with the idea for this site. It provides the opportunity for teachers to teach students, as well as other teachers, concepts or skills. &lt;ref&gt;http://teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

Most importantly, TeacherTube community members are a major part of the evolution of the site. Members are encouraged to not only upload educationally relevant videos, but also to make constructive comments and use the rating system to show appreciation for videos of value to one as an educator or learner. &lt;ref&gt;http://www1.teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about accessed March 6, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;

===Historical facts===

The domain name YouTube.com is registered on February 15, 2005.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

The first YouTube video is posted on April 23, 2005.&lt;ref&gt;http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?p=108 accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

By March 6, 2006, YouTube has 25 million clips, with 20,000 clips being uploaded each day.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

YouTube is named Time Magazines' Invention of the Year in 2006.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

PC World Magazine named YouTube the 9th of the Top 10 Best Products of 2006.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.pcworld.com/article/125706-2/the_100_best_products_of_2006.html accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;.

As of 2010, YouTube reaches over 1 Billion views per day.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.crunchbase.com/company/youtube accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

TeacherTube was launched on March 6, 2007. &lt;ref&gt;http://teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;

By 2008, TeacherTube has over 26,000 educational videos. &lt;ref&gt;http://teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;

== Features ==

YouTube is available in 24 different countries.  It is available in more than 30 different languages.  &lt;ref&gt;http://www.youtube.com/t/faqt accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;.
Both sites are free to use and watch videos. Users are able to flag any videos that they feel are inappropriate, which are then reviewed by the staff, and removed if necessary. 

TeacherTube offers many great resources for teachers.  It also encourages members to upload videos of educational content and worth, to leave comments, and use the rating system for uploaded videos. Teachers can create a digital portfolio to share lesson plans with colleagues all over the world, thus creating a sense of community in education. &lt;ref&gt;http://teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;.

== YouTube Guidelines ==

Respect the YouTube Community.  

Be Responsible.
 
Don't Cross the Line--Be very aware of what you post. 

Free Speech is encouraged, but do not permit attacks.  

Do not post misleading information. 

Follow Copyright Laws.

&lt;ref&gt;http://www.youtube.com/t/community_guidelines.html accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;

==Privacy==

Copyright means that when a person creates an original work of authorship, it is protected by law. Original work can be anything that can be read, heard, and/or seen. A person’s work is protected as soon as it is “created and fixed in a tangible form.” Original work can be either published or not published and still be protected by law.[http://www.copyright.gov/] 


Creative Commons (CC) is a website that promotes collaboration among the general public and creators.  This site allows the general public access to work created by others.  People are given the right to use or modify the works of originial authors.   There are six CC licenses. These licenses will let authors decide what others can do with their original work.&lt;ref&gt;http://creativecommons.org/accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;.

[http://creativecommons.org/] [[File:Creative_commons.jpg‎|middle right|150px]]

YouTube takes copyright very seriously. They have established a new technology for copyright holders.  It is called Content ID.  This is a set of tools that helps people who upload videos to YouTube be able to find their content and allows them to decide what they want to do when they find it.  These users may block it, leave it up, or make money from it. If a user believes that a video posted on YouTube is violating their copyright, they may flag the video and select &quot;infringes my copyright&quot; from the list of options provided.  This information will then be reviewed by the YouTube board.  &lt;ref&gt;http://www.youtube.com/t/faq accessed March 1, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;.

== Benefits ==
There are many benefits of using YouTube and TeacherTube. Here is a list of some of those benefits:

1. It is Free to use

2. It is user friendly

3. View any video tutorial on any subject

4. Share videos globally

5. Express one’s creativity

6. One can become famous

7. Hidden talents are found

8. Videos are a powerful teaching tool

9. Stay current on any subject

10. Don’t need expensive equipment

== Educational Impact ==

Both YouTube and TeacherTube provide educational lectures and instructional videos that teaches new information to the learner or reinforces material that has already been learned. Both sites contain numerous student projects, experiments, and professional development clips even for the teachers. Several colleges, such as the University of California Berkeley and Vanderbilt, have partnered with YouTube to provide the schools with channels for lectures and interactive web-sites. The video-clips allow students to explore the topic beyond the assignment. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.convergemag.com/edtech/Is-Education-Ready-For-YouTube.html accessed March 3, 2010&lt;/ref&gt;

Being able to share so much information with others who are so far away can change the role of teachers and students in the future. With this valuable tool, students are able to explore, problem-solve, foster debates, and think critically.

Teacher Tube contains a teaching resources page.  Individuals can upload video, documents, audio, and photos.  The Teacher Vision section contains lesson pland, printables and more.  These resources are organized by subject, grade, and theme. &lt;ref&gt;http://www1.teachertube.com/teachervision.php accessed March 6, 2011&lt;/ref&gt;

== Criticisms ==
Some YouTube users are breaking the copyright law, because users are uploading videos that they did not make and claiming as their own. Others are posting videos that may be offensive and not socially correct. There are also mature videos and videos with violence in them that are not suitable for young children. Kids also have free rein to watch any video of their choice.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_YouTube]

Users have the ability to preserve the integrity of the site by flagging inappropriate videos and copyright violations. TeacherTube staff review flagged sites and will remove any inappropriate posts. With more collegial commentary and discussion through messaging and responses, the quality of this resource will only increase.  [http://www1.teachertube.com/staticPage.php?pg=about]

==Tosh.O==
[[File:Daniel Tosh (cropped).jpg|thumb|Daniel Tosh]]
YouTube has been a hot topic in the news since its creation.  However, on June 4, 2009 YouTube made its debut on Comedy Central in a show called Tosh.O.  In its first season it recorded a startling one million viewers per episode.  It was noted that by 2010, this show has had up to 2.7 million viewers per episode.  This hit-TV show focused on the viral videos that are watched on YouTube.  The host, Daniel Tosh, then uses comical language and discusses the videos on the spot to his viewers.  There is also a section of each episode known as &quot;Web Redemption&quot; where they invite a person (from a viral video) onto the TV show to defend or explain their actions that were captured on the YouTube video.  Daniel Tosh realized the popularity and opportunities that YouTube possessed, created this TV show, and is now extremely successful and profitable.&lt;ref&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tosh.0&lt;/ref&gt;

      <text bytes="21404" sha1="4n50k4imw3b96milt46m5zxn69no97r" xml:space="preserve">As explained before, expressions are pieces of code that have a value and that can be evaluated. They cannot be executed directly (with the exception of function calls), and thus, a script that would contain only the following code, which consists of an expression, would be erroneous:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;lua&quot;&gt;
3 + 5
-- The code above is erroneous because all it contains is an expression.
-- The computer cannot execute '3 + 5', since that does not make sense.
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Code must be comprised of a sequence of statements. These statements can contain expressions which will be values the statement has to manipulate or use to execute the instruction.

Some code examples in this chapter do not constitute valid code, because they consist of only expressions. In the next chapter, statements will be covered and it will be possible to start writing valid code.

== Types ==

To evaluate an expression is to compute it to find its value. The value a given expression evaluates to might be different from one context to another, since it can depend on the environment and stack level. This value will sometimes be a number, sometimes text and the other times any of many other data types, which is why it is said to have a type.

In Lua, and in programming in general, expressions will usually consist of one or more values with zero or more operators. Some operators can only be used with some types (it would be illogical, for example, to try to divide text, while it makes sense to divide numbers). There are two kinds of operators: unary operators and binary operators. Unary operators are operators that only take one value. For example, the unary - operator only takes one number as a parameter: -5, -3, -6, etc. It takes one number as a parameter and negates that number. The binary - operator, however, which is not the same operator, takes two values and subtracts the second from the first: 5 - 3, 8 - 6, 4 - 9, etc.

It is possible to obtain a number's type as a string with the &lt;code&gt;type&lt;/code&gt; function:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;lua&quot;&gt;
print(type(32425)) --&gt; number
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

=== Numbers ===

Numbers generally represent quantities, but they can be used for many other things. The number type in Lua works mostly in the same way as real numbers. Numbers can be constructed as integers, decimal numbers, decimal exponents or even in [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]. Here are some valid numbers:

* 3
* 3.0
* 3.1416
* 314.16e-2
* 0.31416E1
* 0xff
* 0x56

==== Arithmetic operations ====

The operators for numbers in Lua are the following:

{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;
|-
! Operation !! Syntax !! Description !! Example
!Result
|-
! Arithmetic negation
| -&lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; || Changes the sign of &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; and returns the value || -3.14159
|
|-
! Addition
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; + &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || Returns the sum of &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; and &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || 5.2 + 3.6
|8.8
|-
! Subtraction
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; - &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || Subtracts &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; from &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; and returns the result || 6.7 - 1.2
|5.5
|-
! Multiplication
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; * &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || Returns the product of &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; and &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || 3.2 * 1.5
|4.8
|-
! Exponentiation
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; ^ &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || Returns &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; to the power &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt;, or the exponentiation of &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; by &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || 5 ^ 2
|25
|-
! Division
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; / &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || Divides &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; by &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; and returns the result || 6.4 / 2
|3.2
|-
! Floor division
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; // &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || Divides &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; by &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; and returns the integer part of the result || 6.4 // 2
|3
|-
! Modulo operation
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; % &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || Returns the floored remainder'''*''' of the division of &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; by &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt; || 5 % 3
|2
|-
|}

'''*)''' Note that in Lua, &lt;code&gt;%&lt;/code&gt; is a proper ''modulo'' operator rather than a ''remainder'' operator, which makes a difference for &lt;code&gt;a % b&lt;/code&gt; where a is negative. In many languages, &lt;code&gt;-5 % 3&lt;/code&gt; returns -2, however in Lua it returns 1. The exact differences between modulo and remainder won't be explained here, you can look that up for yourself if you are interested. For brevity: &lt;code&gt;a % b&lt;/code&gt; returns &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt; minus the largest multiple of &lt;code&gt;b&lt;/code&gt; that's not greater than &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;.

You probably already know all of these operators (they are the same as basic mathematical operators) except the last. The last is called the modulo operator, and generally can be thought of as calculating the remainder of the division of one number by another. 5 % 3, for example, would give 2 as a result because 2 is the remainder of the division of 5 by 3. The modulo operator is less commonly used than most other operators, but has its use-cases. One such case is finding out if a number is divisible by another: if &lt;code&gt;a % b&lt;/code&gt; is 0, then a is exactly divisible by b. This is commonly used to determine if a number is even, for instance.

==== Integers ====

A new subtype of numbers, integers, was added in Lua 5.3. Numbers can be either integers or floats. Floats are similar to numbers as described above, while integers are numbers with no decimal part. Float division (&lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt;) and exponentiation always convert their operands to floats, while all other operators give integers if their two operands were integers. In other cases, with the exception of the floor division operator (&lt;code&gt;//&lt;/code&gt;), the result is a float.

=== Nil ===

Nil is the type of the value nil, whose main property is to be different from any other value; it usually represents the absence of a useful value. Some examples of things that have the value nil:
* value of variables that you access before assigning them a value
* value you get when trying to access a variable outside of its scope
* value for any key in a table that hasn't been assigned
* value returned by &lt;code&gt;tonumber&lt;/code&gt; if it can't convert a string to a number

On a more advanced note, purposefully assigning  a nil value removes the reference to a variable or table, and allows the [[Garbage collection|garbage collector]] to reclaim its memory.

=== Booleans ===

A boolean value can be either true or false, but nothing else. This is written in Lua as &lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;, which are reserved keywords. Important to note is that &lt;code&gt;nil&lt;/code&gt; is a different data type as stated earlier. &lt;code&gt;and&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;or&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;not()&lt;/code&gt; are usually associated with boolean values, but can be used with any datatype in Lua. 

{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;
|-
! Operation
! Syntax
! Description
|-
! Boolean negation
| not &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt;
| If &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; is false or nil, returns true. Otherwise, returns false.
|-
! Logical conjunction
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; and &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt;
| Returns the first argument if it is false or nil. Otherwise, returns the second argument.
|-
! Logical disjunction
| &lt;var&gt;a&lt;/var&gt; or &lt;var&gt;b&lt;/var&gt;
| Returns the first argument if it is neither false nor nil. Otherwise, returns the second argument.
|}

Essentially, the &lt;code&gt;not&lt;/code&gt; operator just negates the boolean value (makes it false if it is true and makes it true if it is false), the &lt;code&gt;and&lt;/code&gt; operator returns true if both are true and false if not and the &lt;code&gt;or&lt;/code&gt; operator returns true if either of arguments is true and false otherwise. This is however not exactly how they work, as the exact way they work is explained in the table above. In Lua, the values false and nil are both considered to be false in logical expressions, while everything else is considered as true (even 0 and empty strings).

The relational operators introduced in the next chapter (&lt;code&gt;&lt;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&gt;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&lt;=&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&gt;=&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;~=&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;==&lt;/code&gt;) do not necessarily take boolean values as operands, but will always give a boolean value as a result.

This can be difficult to reconcile. For added clarity, here are some truth tables or expression-result pairs. Here &lt;code&gt;x&lt;/code&gt; can be &lt;code&gt;nil&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;:
{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;
|-
! Expression
! Result
|-
| &lt;code&gt;true  and x&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;x&lt;/code&gt;
|-
| &lt;code&gt;false and x&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;
|-
| &lt;code&gt;nil   and x&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;nil&lt;/code&gt;
|-
|
|
|-
| &lt;code&gt;true or x&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt;
|-
| &lt;code&gt;false or x&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;x&lt;/code&gt;
|-
| &lt;code&gt;nil or x&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;x&lt;/code&gt;
|-
|}

This somewhat counterintuitively means that

{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;
|-
! Expression
! Result
|-
| &lt;code&gt;false and nil&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;
|-
| &lt;code&gt;nil and false&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;nil&lt;/code&gt;
|-
|}

In addition,
{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;
|-
! Expression
! Result
|-
| &lt;code&gt;false == nil&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;nil == false&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;
|-
| &lt;code&gt;nil and false&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;nil&lt;/code&gt;
|-
|}

{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;
|-
! Expression
! Result
|-
| &lt;code&gt;not(false)&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;not(nil)&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;true&lt;/code&gt;
|-
| &lt;code&gt;not(true)&lt;/code&gt;
| &lt;code&gt;false&lt;/code&gt;
|-
|}

=== Strings ===

Strings are sequences of characters that can be used to represent text. They can be written in Lua by being contained in double quotes, single quotes or long brackets, which were covered before in [[{{BOOKNAME}}/Introduction#Comments|the section about comments]] (it should be noted that comments and strings have nothing in common other than the fact they can both be delimited by long brackets, preceded by two hyphens in the case of comments). Strings that aren't contained in long brackets will only continue for one line. Because of this, the only way to make a string that contains many lines without using long brackets is to use escape sequences. This is also the only way to insert single or double quotes in certain cases. Escape sequences consist of two things: an escape character, which will always be a backslash ('\') in Lua, and an identifier that identifies the character to be escaped.

{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;
|+ Escape sequences in Lua
! Escape sequence !! Description
|-
| \n || A new line
|-
| \&quot; || A  double quote
|-
| \' || A single quote (or apostrophe)
|-
| \\ || A backslash
|-
| \t || A horizontal tab
|-
| \### || ### must be a number from 0 to 255. The result will be the corresponding [[Wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]] character.
|}

Escape sequences are used when putting the character directly in the string would cause a problem. For example, if you have a string of text that is enclosed in double quotes and must contain double quotes, then you need to enclose the string in different characters or to escape the double quotes. Escaping characters in strings delimited by long brackets is not necessary, and this is true for all characters. All characters in a string delimited with long brackets will be taken as-is. The &lt;code&gt;%&lt;/code&gt; character is used in string patterns to escape magic characters, but the term ''escaping'' is then used in another context.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;lua&quot;&gt;
&quot;This is a valid string.&quot;

'This is also a valid string.'

&quot;This is a valid \&quot; string 'that contains unescaped single quotes and escaped double quotes.&quot;

[[
This is a line that can continue
on more than one line.

It can contain single quotes, double quotes and everything else (-- including comments). It ignores everything (including escape characters) except closing long brackets of the same level as the opening long bracket.
]]

&quot;This is a valid string that contains tabs \t, double quotes \&quot; and backlashes \\&quot;

&quot;This is &quot; not a valid string because there is an unescaped double quote in the middle of it.&quot;
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

For convenience, if an opening long string bracket is immediately followed by a new line, that new line will be ignored. Therefore, the two following strings are equivalent:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;lua&quot;&gt;
[[This is a string
that can continue on many lines.]]

[[
This is a string
that can continue on many lines.]]

-- Since the opening long bracket of the second string is immediately followed by a new line, that new line is ignored.
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

It is possible to get the length of a string, as a number, by using the unary length operator ('#'):

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;lua&quot;&gt;
print(#(&quot;This is a string&quot;)) --&gt; 16
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

==== Concatenation ====

{{quote|In [[Wikipedia:formal language|formal language theory]] and [[Wikipedia:computer programming|computer programming]], '''string concatenation ''' is the operation of joining two [[Wikipedia:character string (computer science)|character strings]] end-to-end.  For example, the concatenation of &quot;snow&quot; and &quot;ball&quot; is &quot;snowball&quot;.|Wikipedia|[[Wikipedia:Concatenation|Concatenation]]}}

The string concatenation operator in Lua is denoted by two dots ('..'). Here is an example of concatenation that concatenates &quot;snow&quot; and &quot;ball&quot; and prints the result:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;lua&quot;&gt;
print(&quot;snow&quot; .. &quot;ball&quot;) --&gt; snowball
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

This code will concatenate &quot;snow&quot; and &quot;ball&quot; and will print the result.

=== Other types ===

The four basic types in Lua (numbers, booleans, nil and strings) have been described in the previous sections, but four types are missing: functions, tables, userdata and threads. &lt;dfn&gt;Functions&lt;/dfn&gt; are pieces of code that can be called, receive values and return values back. &lt;dfn&gt;Tables&lt;/dfn&gt; are data structures that can be used for data manipulation. &lt;dfn&gt;Userdata&lt;/dfn&gt; are used internally by applications Lua is embedded in to allow Lua to communicate with that program through objects controlled by the application. Finally, &lt;dfn&gt;threads&lt;/dfn&gt; are used by coroutines, which allow many functions to run at the same time. These will all be described later, so you only need to keep in mind that there are other data types.

== Literals ==

Literals are notations for representing fixed values in source code. All values can be represented as literals in Lua except threads and userdata. String literals (literals that evaluate to strings), for example, consist of the text that the string must represent enclosed into single quotes, double quotes or long brackets. Number literals, on the other hand, consist the number they represent expressed using decimal notation (ex: &lt;code&gt;12.43&lt;/code&gt;), scientific notation (ex: &lt;code&gt;3.1416e-2&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;0.31416E1&lt;/code&gt;) or hexadecimal notation (ex: &lt;code&gt;0xff&lt;/code&gt;).

== Coercion ==

Coercion is the conversion of a value of one data type to a value of another data type. Lua provides automatic coercion between string and number values. Any arithmetic operation applied to a string will attempt to convert this string to a number. Conversely, whenever a string is expected and a number is used instead, the number will be converted to a string. This applies both to Lua operators and to default functions (functions that are provided with the language).

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;lua&quot;&gt;
print(&quot;122&quot; + 1) --&gt; 123
print(&quot;The number is &quot; .. 5 .. &quot;.&quot;) --&gt; The number is 5.
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Coercion of numbers to strings and strings to numbers can also be done manually with the &lt;code&gt;tostring&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;tonumber&lt;/code&gt; functions. The former accepts a number as an argument and converts it to a string, while the second accepts a string as an argument and converts it to a number (a different base than the default decimal one can optionally be given in the second argument).

== Bitwise operations ==

Since Lua 5.3, bitwise operators are provided to operate on binary numerals (bit patterns). These operators are not used as frequently as the others, so you may skip this section if you do not need them.

The bitwise operators in Lua always operate on integers, converting their operands if this is necessary. They also give integers.

The &lt;dfn&gt;bitwise AND&lt;/dfn&gt; operation (with operator &lt;code&gt;&amp;&lt;/code&gt;) performs logical conjunction on each pair of bits of two binary representations of equal length. For example, &lt;code&gt;5 &amp; 3&lt;/code&gt; evaluates to 1. We can explain this by looking at the binary representation of these numbers (the subscripts are used to denote the base):

&lt;math&gt;(5)_{10} = (0101)_2&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;(3)_{10} = (0011)_2&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;(1)_{10} = (0001)_2&lt;/math&gt;

If the bits in a given position in the binary representation of both 5 and 3 are 1 (as is the case for the last bit), then the bit at that position will be 1 in the result; in all other cases, it will be 0.

The &lt;dfn&gt;bitwise OR&lt;/dfn&gt; operation (with operator &lt;code&gt;|&lt;/code&gt;) works in the same way as the bitwise AND, performing logical disjunction instead where it performs logical conjunction. Thus, &lt;code&gt;5 | 3&lt;/code&gt; will evaluate to 7:

&lt;math&gt;(5)_{10} = (0101)_2&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;(3)_{10} = (0011)_2&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;(7)_{10} = (0111)_2&lt;/math&gt;

Here, we can see that the bit in each position in the final result was 0 only when the binary representations of the two operands had a 0-bit at that position.

The &lt;dfn&gt;bitwise XOR&lt;/dfn&gt; operation (with operator &lt;code&gt;~&lt;/code&gt;) works like two others, but at a given position, the final bit is only 1 if one, and not both, of the bits in the operands are 1.

&lt;math&gt;(5)_{10} = (0101)_2&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;(3)_{10} = (0011)_2&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;(6)_{10} = (0110)_2&lt;/math&gt;

This is the same as the previous example, but we can see that the last bit in the result is 0 instead of 1, since the last bit of both operands was 1.

The &lt;dfn&gt;bitwise NOT&lt;/dfn&gt; operation (with operator &lt;code&gt;~&lt;/code&gt;) performs logical negation on each bit of its unique operand, which means that each 0 becomes 1 and that each 1 becomes 0. Thusly, &lt;code&gt;~7&lt;/code&gt; will evaluate to -8:

&lt;math&gt;(7)_{10} = (0111)_2&lt;/math&gt;

&lt;math&gt;(8)_{10} = (1000)_2&lt;/math&gt;

Here, the first bit became 1 in the result because it was 0 in the operand, and the other bits became 0 because they were all 1.

[[File:Rotate left logically.svg|Left shift]][[File:Rotate right arithmetically.svg|Right shift]]

In addition to these bitwise operators, Lua 5.3 also supports arithmetic bit shifts. The &lt;dfn&gt;left shift&lt;/dfn&gt;, with operator &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;/code&gt; and illustrated on left, consists in shifting all bits to the left, by a number of bits that corresponds to the second operand. The &lt;dfn&gt;right shift&lt;/dfn&gt;, denoted by operator &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; and illustrated on right, does the same but in the opposite direction.

== Operator precedence ==

Operator precedence works the same way in Lua as it typically does in mathematics. Certain operators will be evaluated before others, and parentheses can be used to arbitrarily change the order in which operations should be executed. The priority in which operators are evaluated is in the list below, from higher to lower priority. Some of these operators were not discussed yet, but they will all be covered at some point in this book.

# Exponentiation: &lt;code&gt;^&lt;/code&gt;
# Unary operators: &lt;code&gt;not&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;-&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;~&lt;/code&gt;
# Level 2 mathematical operators: &lt;code&gt;*&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;//&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;%&lt;/code&gt;
# Level 1 mathematical operators: &lt;code&gt;+&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;-&lt;/code&gt;
# Concatenation: &lt;code&gt;..&lt;/code&gt;
# Bit shifts: &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;
# Bitwise AND: &lt;code&gt;&amp;&lt;/code&gt;
# Bitwise XOR: &lt;code&gt;~&lt;/code&gt;
# Bitwise OR: &lt;code&gt;|&lt;/code&gt;
# Relational operators: &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;=&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;=&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;~=&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;==&lt;/code&gt;
# Boolean and: &lt;code&gt;and&lt;/code&gt;
# Boolean or: &lt;code&gt;or&lt;/code&gt;

&amp;nbsp;

Host-based authentication allows hosts to authenticate on behalf of all or some of that particular host's users.  Those accounts can be all of the accounts on a system or a subset designated by the '''Match''' directive.   This type of authentication can be useful for managing computing clusters and other fairly homogeneous pools of machines.  

In all, three files on the server must be prepared for host-based authentication.  On the client only two must be modified, but the host itself must have SSH host keys assigned.  What follows sets up host-based authentication from one system to another in a single direction.  For authentication both directions, follow the procedure twice but reverse the roles of the systems.  

==Client-side Configurations for Host-based Authentication==

On the client or source host, two files must be configured and in addition at least one host key must exist:
: '''/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts''' - global file for public keys for known hosts
: '''/etc/ssh/ssh_config'''      - allow clients to request host-based authentication

Then the client's host keys must be created if they do not already exist:
: '''/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key'''
: '''/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key'''
: '''/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key'''

These three steps need to be done on each of the client systems which will be connecting to the specified host.  Once set up, the accounts logged on one system will be able to connect to another system without further interactive authentication.  

Note that in situations environments host-based authentication might not be considered sufficient to prevent unauthorized access since it goes on a host-by-host basis, mostly.  

===1. Populate the Client with the Server's Public Keys=== 

The remote server's public host keys must be stored on the client system in the global client configuration file '''/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts'''.  One way to get the public keys from the server is to fetch them using [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keyscan.1 ssh-keyscan(1)] and save them.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;shell-session&quot;&gt;
$ ssh-keyscan server.example.com | tee -a /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Be sure to make a backup copy of '''/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts''', if it exists, before trying anything.  Another way would be to add the server's public host key to the '''~/.ssh/known_hosts''' files in the relevant accounts.  But that way is more work.  

However they are acquired and verified, the public keys listed there must obviously correspond to the private host keys on the server.  Any or all of the three types can be used, RSA, ECDSA, or Ed25519.   DSA should no longer be used.  For verification of the public keys, refer to the section on [[OpenSSH/Cookbook/Public_Key_Authentication#Verify_a_Host_Key_by_Fingerprint|how to verify a host key by fingerprint]] for some relevant methods.

===2. System-wide Client Configuration===

Two changes must be made.  First, the client's configuration must request host-based authentication when connecting to the designated systems.  Second, the client configuration file must be set to enable [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keysign.8 ssh-keysign(8)].  It is a helper application to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required for host-based authentication.  Both changes can be done globally in '''/etc/ssh/ssh_config'''.  

Here is an excerpt from '''/etc/ssh/ssh_config''' on the client trying host-based authentication to all machines.  The '''Host''' directive in [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5 ssh_config(5)] can be used to further constrain access to a particular server or group of servers.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
Host *.pool.example.org
	HostbasedAuthentication yes
	EnableSSHKeysign yes
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

In some distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, the '''EnableSSHKeysign''' directive may need to be placed into the general section before it will work. In that case, do this:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
Host *.pool.example.org
	HostbasedAuthentication yes

Host *
	EnableSSHKeysign yes
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Other configuration directives can be added as needed.  For example, here are two additional settings applied to the same pool:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
Host *.pool.example.org
	HostbasedAuthentication yes
	EnableSSHKeysign yes
	ServerAliveCountMax 3
	ServerAliveInterval 60
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

If the home directory of the client host is one that is shared with other machines, say using NFS or AFS, then it may be useful to look at the '''NoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost''' directive, too.  

As a bit of trivia, the program [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keysign.8 ssh-keysign(8)] itself must be SUID root.  But SUID was probably set when it was installed and no changes there are needed.

===3. Set Up the Client System's Own Host Keys===

The program [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keysign.8 ssh-keysign(8)] needs to read the client system's private host keys in '''/etc/ssh/'''.  Installing the OpenSSH server will create these keys but if the OpenSSH server has not been installed on the client system, it does not need to be.  It is enough to have the keys by themselves.  If the client system's private host keys do not exist, it will be necessary to add them manually using [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1 ssh-keygen(1)] before host-based authentication will work.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;shell-session&quot;&gt;
$ ssh-keygen -A
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

The default path is '''/etc/ssh/''' when using the '''-A''' option.  

Note that although the client's system does not have to have an SSH server actually running in order to use host-based authentication to reach another system, it is entirely feasible to install but then disable or uninstall the SSH server on the client's server as a way to get the host keys in place.

==Server-side Configurations for Host-based Authentication==

Three files on the server or target host must be modified to enable and allow host-based authentication:
: '''/etc/shosts.equiv''' 	 same syntax as old '''rhosts.equiv'''
: '''/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts''' 	 holds the host public keys from the clients
: '''/etc/ssh/sshd_config''' 	 turns on host-based authentication

The exact location of '''shosts.equiv''' may vary depending on operating system and distro.  

===1. Registering the Allowed Client Systems with the Server===

The '''shosts.equiv''' file must contain a list of the client systems which are allowed to attempt host-based authentication.  The file can contain host names, IP addresses, or net groups.   It is best to keep this file simple and oriented to just the list of hosts, either by name or IP number.  It provides only the first cut, anyway.  For fine tuning, use [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5 sshd_config(5)] instead to set or revoke access for specific users and groups.  

It is important to note that if you are using the '''shosts.equiv file''', the user name on the client and server system must match. For instance, to connect to bob@server1.example.org, the user name on the client must also be bob. If you need user 'alice' to connect to bob@server1.example.org, you need to specify this in the '''.shosts''' file for 'bob', not in the global '''shosts.equiv''' file.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
client1.example.org
192.0.2.102
client8.example.org -bull
@statcluster
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

This file resides in the directory '''/etc/''' in OpenBSD, which this book uses for the reference system when possible.  On other systems the file might be found in the directory '''/etc/ssh/'''.  Either way, the '''shosts.equiv''' file identifies which addresses are allowed to try authenticating.  Check the manual page for [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.1 sshd(1)] on the actual system being used to be sure of the correct location.

Hunt for a manual page '''hosts.equiv(5)''' for more details on '''.shosts.equiv''' (and  '''.shosts'''), but consider that its use is long since deprecated and most systems won't even have that manual page.

====Leftovers from the Old Days====

Two legacy files may be on really old systems and are optionally modified if they are referred to from within '''shosts.equiv'''.  Each line in the '''netgroup''' file consists of a net group name followed by a list of the members of the net group, specifically host, user, and domain.

: '''/etc/netgroup''' - default netgroup list
: '''/etc/netgroup.db''' - netgroup database, build from netgroup

However, these are mostly legacy from the old '''rhosts''' and should be avoided.

Another leftover is using '''.shosts''' in each account's home directory.  That would be a local equivalent to '''.shosts.equiv'''.  In that way, individual users can have a local '''.shosts''' containing a list of trusted remote machines, or user-machine pairs, which are allowed to try host-based authentication.  

'''.shosts''' must not writable by any group or any other users.  Permissions set to 0644 should do it.  The usage and format of '''.shosts''' is exactly the same as '''.rhosts''', but allows host-based authentication without permitting login by insecure, legacy tools '''rlogin''' and '''rsh'''.  The list is one line per host.  The first column is obligatory and contains the name or address of the host permitted to attempt host-based authentication.  

However a global '''.shosts.equiv''' is preferable to having '''.shosts''' in each and every home directory.

===2. Populate the Server with the Client's Public Keys=== 

The client systems listed in the server's '''shosts.equiv''' must also have their public keys in '''/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts''' on the server in order to be acknowledged.  There are three required data fields per line.  First is the host name or IP address or comma separated list of them, corresponding to those from '''shosts.equiv'''.  Next is the key type, either ssh-rsa for RSA keys or ssh-ed25519 for Ed25519 keys or ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 for ECDSA keys.  The third field is the public key itself.  Last, and optionally, can be a comment about the key.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
desktop,192.0.2.102 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIw ... qqU24CcgzmM=
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Just like step one for the client, there are many ways of collecting the public key information from the client and getting it to the server.  It can be copied using [http://man.openbsd.org/sftp.1 sftp(1)], copied from '''~/.ssh/known_hosts''', or grabbed using [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keyscan.1 ssh-keyscan(1)].  Though the latter two methods only work if the client system also has an SSH server running.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;shell-session&quot;&gt;
$ ssh-keyscan -t rsa client.example.org | tee -a /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

===3. System-wide Server Configuration===

The third file that must be changed on the server is [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5 sshd_config(5)].  It must be told to allow host-based authentication by setting the '''HostbasedAuthentication''' directive, either for all users or just some users or just certain groups.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
HostbasedAuthentication yes
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Host-based authentication can be limited to specific users or groups.  Here is an example excerpt from [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5 sshd_config(5)] allowing allow any user in the group 'cluster2' to let the hosts authenticate on their behalf: 

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
Match Group cluster2
        HostbasedAuthentication yes
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Certain host keys types can be allowed using '''HostbasedAcceptedAlgorithms''', which was formerly '''HostbasedAcceptedKeyTypes''', with a comma-delimited list of acceptable key algorithms.  All the key algorithms which are to be allowed must be listed because those not listed are not allowed.  Patterns can be used in the whitelist.  Below, Ed25519 and ECDSA keys are allowed, but others, such as RSA and DSA are not.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
HostbasedAuthentication yes
HostbasedAcceptedAlgorithms ssh-ed25519*,ecdsa-sha2*
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

====Host Names and Other DNS Matters====

Make complete DNS entries for the clients if possible, including allowing reverse lookups.  However, it may also be necessary to set '''UseDNS''' to 'yes' in [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5 sshd_config(5)] on the server.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
HostbasedAuthentication yes
UseDNS yes
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Otherwise, [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] may report a mismatch in the logs:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;text&quot;&gt;
Sep 24 15:16:02 server sshd[1397]: userauth_hostbased mismatch: client sends client.example.org, but we resolve 203.0.113.68 to 203.0.113.68
Sep 24 15:16:02 server sshd[1397]: userauth_hostbased mismatch: client sends client.example.org, but we resolve 203.0.113.68 to 203.0.113.68
Sep 24 15:16:02 server sshd[1397]: Connection closed by authenticating user fred 203.0.113.68 port 36576 [preauth]
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

If the client machine is not listed in DNS, then the server might have trouble recognizing it.  In that case you might have to tell [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] not to do reverse lookups in DNS for connecting hosts.  This can be a problem on informal LANs where hosts have addresses but no registered host names.  Here is an example from '''/etc/ssh/sshd_config''' to work around lack of DNS records for the client using the '''HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly''' directive.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
HostbasedAuthentication yes
HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly yes
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Don't add this directive unless the normal way fails.  Otherwise it can interfere and prevent authentication.  
  
Sometimes the host trying to connect gets identified to the target host as something other than what was expected.  That too will block authentication.  So make sure that the configuration files match what the host actually calls itself.

==Debugging==

Configuration should be quite straight forward, with small changes in only three files on the server and two on the client to manage.  If there are difficulties, be prepared to run [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] standalone at debug level 1 ('''-d''') to 3 ('''-ddd''') and [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1 ssh(1)] at debug level 3 ('''-vvv''') a few times to see what you missed.  The mistakes have to be cleared up in the right order, so take it one step at a time.  

If the server produces the message &quot;''debug3: auth_rhosts2_raw: no hosts access file exists''&quot; turns up, the '''shosts.equiv''' file is probably in the wrong place or missing and no fallback '''~/.shosts''' lies in reserve in that account.  

If the server cannot find the key for the client despite it being in '''known_hosts''' and if the client's host name is not in regular DNS, then it might be necessary to add the directive '''HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly'''.  This uses the name supplied by the client itself rather than doing a DNS lookup.  

Here is a sample excerpt from a successful host-based authentication for user 'fred' from the host at ''192.0.2.102'', also known as ''desktop1'', using an Ed25519 key.  The server first tries looking for an ECDSA key and does not find it.

&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Note any warnings or error messages and read them carefully.  If there is too much output, remember the '''-e''' option for the server and use it to save the debugging output to a separate file and then read that file afterwards.  

Since this method relies on the client as well as the server, running the client with increased verbosity can sometimes help too.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;shell-session&quot;&gt;
$ ssh -v fred@server.example.org
$ ssh -vv fred@server.example.org
$ ssh -vvv fred@server.example.org
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

If there is too much output from the client to handle, remember the '''-E''' option and redirect the debug logs to a file and then read that file at leisure.

&amp;nbsp;

==MaxStartups==

Random early drop can be enabled by specifying the three colon-separated values ''start'':''rate'':''full''.  After the number of unauthenticated connections reaches the value specified by ''start'', [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] will begin to refuse new connections at a percentage specified by ''rate''.  The proportional rate of refused connections then increases linearly as the limit specified by ''full'' is approached until 100% is reached.  At that point all new attempts at connection are refused until the backlog goes down.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
MaxStartups   10:30:100
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

For example, if '''MaxStartups 5:30:90''' is given in [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5 sshd_config(5)], then starting with 5 new connections pending authentication the server will start to drop 30% of the new connections.  By the time the backlog increases to 90 pending unauthenticated connections, 100% will be dropped.  

In the default settings, the value for ''full'' has been increased to 100 pending connections to make it harder to succumb to a denial of service due to attack or heavy load.  So the new default is 10:30:100.

Alternately, if the number of incoming connections is not managed at the network level by a packet filter or other tricks like round-robin DNS, it is possible to limit it at the SSH server itself.   Setting '''MaxStartups''' to an integer sets a hard limit to  the maximum number of concurrent unauthenticated connections to the SSH daemon.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
MaxStartups   10
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Additional connections will be dropped until authentication succeeds or the '''LoginGraceTime''' expires for another connection.  The old default was 10.

==Preventing Timeouts Of A Not So Active Session==

There are two connections that can be tracked during an SSH session, the network's TCP connection and the encrypted SSH session traveling on top of it.  Some tunnels and VPNs might not be active all the time, so there is the risk that the session times out or even that the TCP session times out at the router or firewall.  The network connection can be be tracked with '''TCPKeepAlive''', but is not an accurate indication of the state of the actual SSH connections.  It is, however, a useful indicator of the status of the actual network.  Either the client or the server can counter that by keeping either the encrypted connection active using a heartbeat.  

On the client side, if the global client configuration is not already set, individuals can use '''ServerAliveInterval''' to choose an interval in seconds for server alive heartbeats and use '''ServerAliveCountMax''' to set the corresponding maximum number of missed client messages allowed before the encrypted SSH session is considered closed.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
ServerAliveInterval  15
ServerAliveCountMax  4
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

On the server side, '''ClientAliveInterval''' sets the interval in seconds between client alive heartbeats.  '''ClientAliveCountMax''' sets the maximum number of missed client messages allowed before the encrypted SSH session is considered closed.  If no other data has been sent or received during that time, [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] will send a message through the encrypted channel to request a response from the client.  If [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5 sshd_config(5)] has '''ClientAliveInterval''' set to 15, and '''ClientAliveCountMax''' set to 4, unresponsive SSH clients will be disconnected after approximately 60 (= 15 x 4) seconds.  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
ClientAliveInterval  15
ClientAliveCountMax  4
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

If a time-based '''RekeyLimit''' is also used but the time limit is shorter than the '''ClientAliveInterval''' heartbeat, then the shorter re-key limit will be used for the heartbeat interval instead.  

This is more or less the same principle as with the server.  Again, that is set in [http://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5 ~/.ssh/config] and can be applied globally to all connections from that account or selectively to specific connections using a '''Host''' or '''Match''' block.

==Ensuring Timeouts Of An Inactive Interactive Session==

If the server is no longer disconnecting idle SSH accounts when they reach the timeout configured by the '''ClientAliveInterval''' option, then the work-around for that is to set the shell's '''TMOUT''' variable to the desire timeout value.  When '''TMOUT''' is set, it specifies the number of seconds the shell will wait for a line of input to be entered before closing the shell and thus the SSH session.  Note that this means pressing ''Enter'', too, because other typing will not be enough by itself to prevent the timeout and the line must actually be entered for the timer to be reset.  

On the server, check for the presence of the '''SSH_CONNECTION''' variable, which is usually empty unless currently in an SSH session, to differentiate an SSH session from a local shell.  If the account is allowed to make changes to the timeout, then the following can be in the account's own profile, such as '''~/.profile''', 

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;shell&quot;&gt;
if [ &quot;$SSH_CONNECTION&quot; != &quot;&quot; ]; then
        # 10 minutes
        TMOUT=600
        export TMOUT
fi
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

If the account must not be able to change this setting, then it must be in the global profile and made read-only, such as somewhere under '''/etc/profile.d/''',

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;shell&quot;&gt;
if [ &quot;$SSH_CONNECTION&quot; != &quot;&quot; ]; then
        # 10 minutes
        TMOUT=600
        readonly TMOUT
        export TMOUT
fi
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Both examples above are for Bourne shells, their derivatives, and maybe some other shells.  A few shells might have other options available, such as an actual '''autologout''' variable found in [https://linux.die.net/man/1/tcsh tcsh(1)].

==TCP Wrappers, Also Called tcpd(8)==

As of 6.7, OpenSSH's [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] no longer supports TCP Wrappers, also referred to as [http://linux.die.net/man/8/tcpd tcpd(8)].  So this subsection only applies to 6.6 and earlier.  Other options that can be used instead of [http://linux.die.net/man/8/tcpd tcpd(8)] include packet filters like PF &lt;ref name=&quot;Hansteen_PF&quot;&gt;{{cite web |url=http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/ |title=Firewalling with PF  |author=Peter N M Hansteen |year=2011}}&lt;/ref&gt;, ipf, NFTables, or even old IPTables.   In particular, the '''Match''' directive for the OpenSSH server supports filtering by CIDR address.  Use these instead and keep in mind the phrase &quot;equivalent security control&quot; which can smooth out hassles caused by security auditors which may still have a &quot;tcpwrappers&quot; checkbox left over from the 1990s on their worksheets.

The [http://linux.die.net/man/8/tcpd tcpd(8)] program was an access control utility for incoming requests to Internet services.  It was used for services that have a one-to-one mapping to executables, such as [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)], and which have been compiled to interact with it.  It checked first a whitelist ('''/etc/hosts.allow''') and then a blacklist ('''/etc/hosts.deny''') to approve or deny access.  The first pattern to match any given connection attempt was used.  The default in '''/etc/hosts.deny''' was to block access, if no rules match in '''/etc/hosts.allow''':

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
sshd: ALL
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

In addition to access control, [http://linux.die.net/man/8/tcpd tcpd(8)] can be set to run scripts using twist or spawn when a rule is triggered.  spawn launches another program as a child process of [http://linux.die.net/man/8/tcpd tcpd(8)].  From '''/etc/hosts.allow''':

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
sshd: .example.org : allow
sshd: .example.com : spawn \
	/bin/date -u +&quot;%%F %%T UTC from %h&quot; &gt;&gt; /var/log/sshd.log : allow
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

The variable '''%h''' expands to the connecting clients host name or ip number.  The manual page for  [http://linux.die.net/man/5/hosts_access hosts_access(5)] includes a full description of the variables available.  Because the program in the example, date, uses the same symbol for variables, the escape character ('''%''') must be escaped ('''%%''') so it will be ignored by [http://linux.die.net/man/8/tcpd tcpd(8)] and get passed on to date correctly.  

'''twist''' replaces the service requested with another program.  It is sometimes used for honeypots, but can really be used for anything.  From '''/etc/hosts.deny''':

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
sshd: .example.org : deny
sshd: ALL : twist /bin/echo &quot;Sorry, fresh out.&quot; : deny
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

With TCP Wrappers the whitelist '''/etc/hosts.allow''' is searched first, then the blacklist '''/etc/hosts.deny'''.  The first match is applied.  If no applicable rules are found, then access is granted by default.  It should not be used any more and the better alternatives used instead.  See also the '''Match''' directive in [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5 sshd_config(5)] about CIDR addresses or else the '''AllowUsers''' and '''DenyUsers''' directives. 

===Using TCP Wrappers To Allow Connections From Only A Specific Subnet===

It was possible to use TCP Wrappers just set [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] to listen only to the local address and not accept any external connections.  That was one way.  To use TCP Wrappers for that, put a line in '''/etc/hosts.deny''' blocking everything:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
sshd: ALL
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

And add an exception for the in '''/etc/hosts.allow''' by designating the ip range using CIDR notation or by domain name

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
sshd: 192.0.32.0/20
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

The same method can be used to limit access to just the localhost (127.0.0.0/8) by adding a line to '''/etc/hosts.allow''':  

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;apache&quot;&gt;
sshd: 127.0.0.0/8
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Again, the best practice is to block from everywhere and then open up exceptions.  Keep in mind that if domains are used instead of IP ranges, DNS entries must be in order and DNS itself accessible.  However, the above is of historical interest only.  The same kind of limitations are better done by setting [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5 sshd_config(5)] accordingly and instead of using TCP Wrappers utilize the '''Match''' directive in the OpenSSH server or the packet filter in the operating system itself.

==The Extended Internet Services Daemon (xinetd)==

The Extended Internet Services Daemon, [http://linux.die.net/man/8/xinetd xinetd(8)], can provide many kinds of access control.  That includes but is not limited to name, address or network of remote host, and time of day.  It can place limits on the number of services per each service as well as discontinue services if loads exceed a certain limit.

The super-server listens for incoming requests and launches [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] on demand, so it is necessary to first stop [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] from running as standalone daemon.  This may mean modifying System V init scripts or Upstart configuration files.  Then make an [http://linux.die.net/man/8/xinetd xinetd(8)] configuration file for the service SSH. It will probably go in '''/etc/xinetd.d/ssh'''  The argument '''-i''' is important as it tells [http://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8 sshd(8)] that it is being run from [http://linux.die.net/man/8/xinetd xinetd(8)].

This book will contain useful phrases in several languages to be used in restaurants, shops and other practical situations to assist vegetarians and vegans to choose their food.

Vegans and vegetarians in general consume only products of plant origin. However, vegetarians can also consume dairy products and eggs.  Vegans never eat or consume any animal products, not even in minor quantities. It means they avoid all meat, fish, chicken, eggs, milk, cheese, butter and other dairy products, gelatine, honey, carmine colouring and many other animal-devived food additives.

==Introduction==

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charity founded in May 2009 to promote the study of basic computer science in schools, and is responsible for developing a single-board computer called the Raspberry Pi.

The Foundation is supported by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and Broadcom. Its aim is to &quot;promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.&quot;

The original Raspberry Pi 1 Model B computer went on sale in February 2012 and set a new standard shattering the dominance of the PC in the home and education markets. Millions in the various formats, A, B, A+, B+ and Compute have since been shipped worldwide. The original concept of the Raspberry Pi was for a computer board providing Internet access with up to 1080p HD graphics at very low cost. The boards provide a platform for children and adults from any background to acquire computer science knowledge and help develop the future World-Wide-Web and all things internet (IOT hub and bridges out to home network to cloud of sensors).

Hobbyists and tech dabblers/tinkerers are the main purchases of the Pis (around half).

The rest of the sales are split between education/industrial. While the Raspberry Pi boards were designed primarily for education, they have become very popular with manufacturers of embedded systems. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has ensured backwards compatibility with each new revision. The bare-bones Compute module is aimed specifically at the OEM manufacturer.

* Pi 5 - Quad A76 and RP1 &quot;southbridge&quot; with VideoCore 7 4Gb 8Gb LPDDR4X 
* Pi 4 - Quad A72   VideoCore 6 
* Pi 3 - Quad A53  [https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/processors.html 64 bit] - VideoCore 4 
* Pi 2 - Quad 32bit but more power consumed 
* Model B+ - lower power usage but same speed as the original Pis 
* Model A and B - 
* Compute 1, 3, 4 and 5 - industrial use

The overclock ability has diminished with each chip version as the energy usage has very slowly risen. BCM2837 is one of the warmest yet and might benefit from active cooling (ie fan) if all four cpu cores are in use for a short while. Video playback is not affected due to the custom support in the GPU. 5 V / 2.4 or 2.5 amp power supply recommended if all four cpu cores are running, else throttling (cpu slowdown) might occur.

==Implemented so far...==

# Modify the configure system so that it correctly builds for the arm hardware float raspi target.
# Implemented the bootstrap to load the aros modules and prepare the arm to jump into them. Reworked the x86 console support so that parts can be stolen for raspi to use since t has no basic functionality to output to the display.
# Implemented a kernel.resource to prepare the raspi for running aros and provide the low level api calls to expose available resources and allow exec, etc function.
# Implemented serial debug support
# Implemented the exec (and kernel) functionality required to make multitasking work (and interrupts, exceptions, syscalls, etc)
# Implemented a timer.device to utilise the hardware timers.
# Implemented a very basic gfx driver to expose the hardware's framebuffer.
# Implemented an SD-Card driver for AROS which presently only supports the raspi's chipset but can easily be modified to support all sd-card hardware and media.
# Fixed the fat filesystem support in AROS so that it can boot on RasPi's normal SD-Card setup. The &quot;rom&quot; image files needed use a different filename than the default linux, etc images so can be easily installed without harming the existing files - you only need to change the loaded images in the config file to get aros to boot.
# Updated the build scripts to automatically download the necessary raspi firmware files and wrap it all up so that you can simply extract the archive to a fat formatted sdcard and boot it on the raspi without having to get anything else.
# fix everything in contrib and ports to build for raspi (needs proper testing/fixes but allows every component to actually compile at least, including owb) + numerous other fixes to get things working on arm/raspi ..


Improvements...

# Implement a USB chipset driver &quot;OR&quot; finish the existing one [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/c07d13c724f944674be5db54fc6a71ee72a01809 usb otg] - the current code is mostly a skeleton that should initialise the chipset and then needs relevant code to support the different transfer types. It also has the &quot;virtual&quot; hub code in place to represent the raspi's USB port (from poseidons p.o.v) 
# Implement a driver for the USB NIC (a few weeks - depends on USB above) 
# Write an [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/d55d0f74d20b769bbb8c8d386e5c1d7a9154f05a audio driver] (a few weeks - independent of USB) and [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/e93a4c245f27a87c9c4c1d39206694b39059998a HDMI]
# fix syscall bug in the current raspi kernel code
# Graphics depend on having a decent &quot;bcmdma.resource&quot; implemented as to use the cpu's dma engine. The sd card driver needs to use it for transfers to/from the controller - and the gfx system needs to use it for &quot;blitting&quot;. 
# [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/4019d84e4975d4dad987a12d57fe108f5ac048e6 Improve the gfx driver], [ vc4gfx HIDD] add [http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/VC4/ Gallium3D support] 
# [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/b13905b3e8e45b089f520b44692c81affddd066f Improve] the [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/3a876755c070f5c73c4f53c7f4d35b4f923088b9 sdcard] device driver  - which is also pretty basic but should work with most cards, rework it to also support pci, etc. sd card interfaces on x86 
# The current code using very rudimentary access to the gpio interface - so that should be implemented as some resource for other components to access, as-well as the i2c interface exposed over the gpio interface. that should have a hidd class implemented which uses the gpio resource to communicate.


===Boot up ===

On power-up, the rpi [http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/ BCM 2835] [https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv VideoCore4] GPU, not the ARM CPU, is in control, and the SD card slot is the only peripheral device with power. The firmware burned into the BCM2835's VideoCoreIV GPU PROM requires a DOS-style partition table; a FAT-formatted first partition; and the freely redistributable but closed sourced Broadcom files “bootcode.bin” and “start.elf” in that partition.

The boot sequence carries out several pre-boot tasks

*On powering of the rpi, the GPU reads and executes bootcode.bin, which then loads start.elf 
*The GPU loads the “start.elf” file, eventually, into the L2 cache and then executes it
*configures the memory split for the CPU and GPU
*reads and parses “config.txt” from the same partition on the SD card and applies the settings (like a PC’s BIOS settings)
*loads the “kernel.img” file, again from the same partition
*activates the CPU to begin executing the loaded kernel image

The CPU/GPU memory split is hard-coded into start.elf, so Broadcom provides three start.elf images, to give 32M, 64M, or 128M to the GPU for multimedia performance, and the remainder to the CPU.

RPi uses [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware some closed source loaders] and at some point it loads a binary blob named &quot;kernel.img&quot; at 0x8000, at that point there would be a rudimentary Aros alive. If one wants to use the SD-card then there would have to be a driver for the interface and a fat filesystem handler (SD-card has to be formatted to fat filesystem)

Boot code and kernel are now linked together and made into that binary blob, just for starters. Raspberry Pi uses [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot] and [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=138 UBoot] as bootloader, there's already some code in the Efika MX port for that. UBoot is a native bootloader and not just for the raspberry pi, it loads after start.elf.

You can find Efika MX port from arch implementations, some hacking is needed for the mmakefile.src'es as iit dates back to before the Aros crosstool era or else you get some weird errors while building. You also need to code the bootstrap and serial handling.

At the moment it seems that a fastest route for the native build would be to make one binary blob without using the package system. Raspberry's memory layout is pretty simple and if the implemented u-boot doesn't support loading other modules

===Framebuffer - basic display===

RasPi has to speak to the &quot;operating system&quot; which runs on the GPU itself and request/free memory - it cant directly manage it itself, and so the managed functions were used to wrap these calls.

The Arm and GPU share memory space. The framebuffer is shared. The Arm can write a pixel and it will appear on the screen (through GPU hardware) without flushing/copying being required.

The GPU can composite multiple FB's in real time - so you have a number of surfaces defined which are rotated etc and  composited in real time to the output. Copying can map from the address space of the Arm to the flat space of the GPU which takes some code, but I don't think whole buffers are copied.

The DMA hardware can also access the whole memory space and can perform 2D fills and blits (no blending). This is documented in the peripheral spec posted. The DMA is just an Arm accessible peripheral and can be set up with low latency (e.g. microseconds).
must use a 0xc0000000-based bus address to access SDRAM, yet non-DMA access should go via a 0x0-based bus address. 
For 2D dma, set TDMODE, and the spec says &quot;interpret the TXFR_LEN register as YLENGTH number of transfers each of XLENGTH, and add the strides to the address after each transfer.&quot; so set STRIDE to pitch of the image, the width is XLENGTH and height is YLENGTH. You would fill by not setting the SRC_INC and point source to your fill data.

The DMA cannot see the ARM's L1 cache, so you would map the framebuffer with ioremap_nocache. Depending on where the source data comes from, it may need an L1 cache flush. The DMA can see the L2 cache. Use 0xC0000000 bus addresses when L2 is disabled and 0x40000000 bus addresses when L2 is enabled. (actually just call virt_to_bus and you'll get the right address out).

openGLES/openVG has high latency. Writing to framebuffer then reading it back is very inefficient (e.g. milliseconds). If you can drive it a unidirectional way, just streaming commands at then that is efficient. openVG is not implemented on top of openGLES - it uses the same hardware but as a first class interface

To improve the Gfx driver, we will need a DMA resource implemented so can use to perform DMA operations. The Gfx driver will need this to perform blits.

===USB ===

* Model A and B limited to 150 mA per port. 
* Model B+ and Pi 2 introduced configurable 600 mA to 1.2 A support over all ports - anything above that requires a powered USB hub.

Implementing the hardware driver that Poseidon uses to interact with the USB components.

Have code in place to (try) and initialise the USB chipset, and configure host/device mode operation (though AFAICT Poseidon doesn't support device mode). Started to get the &quot;virtual&quot; root hub written for the single USB port so that Poseidon should at least list it correctly in the GUI - and try to interact with it to find peripherals.


The BCM2835 uses a soft IP block from Synopsys’ DesignWare library (DWC), specifically the block is called dwc_usb_2_0_hs_otg_subsystem-ahb_se (“USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG Controller Subsystem w/AHB Interface SE”).

There is no public documentation for this, and pretty much zero chance of anyone getting hold of it even with NDA. However, there's a Linux driver written by Synopsys ([https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux dwc_usb]). Specifically directories [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_common_port] and [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_otg].

The Synopsys code is actually under a fairly permissive licence – it's not GPL, it's similar to BSD (’don't sue us if it breaks’ is pretty much the only clause). So this should not be a barrier to porting the code.

The code is really well written, with a nice partition between the work done by the driver (dwc_otg, which is fairly involved, given the host does more work than a conventional EHCI driver), and the interface to Linux (dwc_common_port).

Probably only need provision of relevant changes to dwc_common_port. Other things to consider....

* Provision of necessary headers to get it to compile
* Provision of necessary functions (main issues are wait queues, threads, work queues, tasklets, timers, spinlocks and mutexes (multithreading) )
* Interfacing between USB stack and the driver. dwc_otg/dwc_otg_hcd_linux.c looks like the place to start.

the Linux bits of the headers are only required for the dwc_common_port library. dwc_common_port includes a variety of crypto functions which are not used – it appears to also be used for ultrawideband (UWB) and wireless USB (WUSB) drivers where crypto will be an issue, but it isn't going to be for plain wired USB.

Every USB driver acts as an USB hub as well in order to let Poseidon control the state of USB ports. The code there was reading status of the only USB port in Raspberry's CPU but when changing the status it erroneously deleted some of the status bits, including the port enable one. It was so because those bits in the status register are of a type Read/WriteToClear. It means, if one does not want to change their value from 1 back to 0, one has to actually write the 0 value. Very practical thing e.g. in interrupt handlers, where one reads the interrupt status register to learn what was the interrupt reason, and writes it back to the same register in order to clear the interrupts. 

After fixing that code it turned out that the communication was still unsuccessful. Apparently the USB device was not understanding the host for some reason. That should not happen since the request sent was one of the standard ones implemented by virtually anything with an USB connector, assumed that Poseidon clears the data caches before forwarding the work to the USB drivers but that's the responsibility of the driver itself. 

The USB device responded and acknowledged the transmission! But why were all the request sent after address change failing with timeout? They should not. Once again, address set is supported just by anything. Tried to contact the device at address 0 once again and there it was, still responding properly. The enlightenment came. The bus address for DMA transmissions was, as it is in many bare metal USB implementations, just the pure memory address of the buffer as seen by the ARM cpu. Have &quot;prefixed&quot; it with the real location of uncached RAM and booted AROS once again.

What are these things? The first one is USB hub built in the Raspberry. Thanks to this one the Pi machines (with exception of Pi0 and computing modules) have more than just one single USB port. The second one is the network chip in raspberry, the third one is my USB SD card reader which have just connected to see what happens. AROS tried, of course, to boot from it ;)

So, the first step towards working USB is done. The control transfers are working as you can see above. Next step is to implement bulk and interrupt transfers, having the basics in place. Finally some error handling will be added and USB for Pi will be as complete as the PC version.

===Audio ===

To follow...

[https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/sound/arm audio] and its [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/2 very high speed message passing interface type of thing VCHI]

The Model B+ added an additional voltage regulator for the audio output and an additional output driver to drive low-resistance loads like headphones. However it is still using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which has a major impact on sound quality

the old Raspberry Pi used a linear voltage regulator to provide the 3.3V to many of the components on the board while the new one uses a switching regulator. Both can perform reasonably well. However switch mode power supplies often show higher noise figures

GPIO shouldn't be too bad but bear in mind it is already accessed in places so they would need to allocate pins etc through it (e.g. sdcard to flicker the activity light, serial debug to output data on the GPIO pins)

Probably a resource rather than a device...

Started an i2c driver that will need to allocate GPIO pins. Feel free to work on it if you are interested ;p

The status of AROS native for RasPi was OK. System booting, USB working (although with some issues but plan to fix them). Got stuck on modifying the ABI (application binary interface) and adjusting binutils/gcc to support it wanted to have real executable files but got stuck a little. This change for the type of relocations embedded in ARM files and not sure if this very type is well supported, on the other hand without this change ARM version of AROS wouldn't work well. By reverting the change to ABI we could have a (somehow) working AROS on RasPi, but unfortunately still unstable.

# download/checkout the source someplace, e.g. /build/AROS-Src/
# make a directory to store external sources AROS downloads, e.g. /build/Ports
# make a build directory, e.g. /build/aros-raspi-armhf
# cd into the build dir, configure, and then run make -:

&lt;pre&gt;
&gt;cd /build/aros-raspi-armhf
&gt;/build/AROS-Src/configure --target=raspberrypi-armhf --with-serial-debug --enable-ccache --with-portssources=/build/Ports
&gt;make
&gt;make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

then copy the files from /build/aros-raspi-armhf/bin/raspi-armhf/AROS/ onto an sdcard, and download/copy the Raspi firmware files onto it.

You should then be able to boot the sdcard on your RasPi.

The current W.I.P tree to svn. it can be built as follows ..
&lt;pre&gt;
./configure --target=raspi-armhf
make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

That will generate arosraspi.img, arosraspi.rom and config.txt in bin/raspi-arm/AROS - so either copy just those files to a fat formatted SD card (with the firmware files on), or copy the whole contents of the AROS folder.

NB - if you have a Linux/other install, backup the existing config.txt first

arosraspi.img contains the bootstrap (which has very basic mailbox code, framebuffer/gpio init, and console &quot;emulation&quot; via code pinched from our libbootconsole), kernel.resource, and exec.library

arosraspi.rom contains all the other components needed to boot AROS.

The config.txt file will tell the RasPI bootstrap to load our arosraspi kernel and ramdisk (rom).

the bootstrap has minimal mailbox code, planning on adding either a resource or library that driver/app code will use to access it (likewise for GPIO)

Ubuntu VM approach to compiling [http://lallafa.de/blog/2013/06/building-aros-hosted-for-raspbian/ Linux hosted AROS June 04, 2013]

 ../AROS/configure --target=linux-armhf  --enable-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-libraries=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib

arm-elf- is symbol-linked to arm-linux-gnueabi- (arm-linux-gnueabi- is more correct in this case, because it's going to be compiling the ARM AROSBootstrap for ARM Linux)

*armel - many of the &quot;android&quot; machines require since the entire OS is made for soft float VFP. 
*armfp - Efika MX target, Raspberry PI, EfikaMX, Pandora and virtually everything (VFP)

Keep in mind it's possible to start hardfp AROS hosted on softfp system, though, as long as no calls between AROS and host require floating point parameters. NOTE: hardfloat objects *cannot* be linked with softfloat objects - they have a different ABI.

Just keep in mind the arm nightly build machine is quite complex beast. It needs the x86_64 host compiler to compile AROS tools. The arm version is built every night using gcc-4.6.2 crosscompiler (built together with AROS) and successfully builds armel and armhf linux hosted targets.

*needs an AROS code compiler for ARM target 
*as well as unix compiler for ARM linux host (would be best to have both softfp and armhf, we have softfp only now) with full set of libraries and includes.

with—disable-crosstools  $AROS_CC  is always a wrapper around $KERNEL_CC  ?  If  so,  this  is  wrong for some ports. This can break Darwin, Windows and Android port. 
Yes,  Android  port  will  build.  And  even  work. But it's not good because  the  port  will  not  be ABI-compatible with other ARM ports. Android's ABI is different from GNUEABI. For example:

&lt;pre&gt;
enum test {foo, bar};
enum test testvar;
&lt;/pre&gt;

siseof(testvar)  will  be  equal  to sizeof(int) in GNUEABI (Linux and AROS)  and  sizeof(short)  on  Android. This affects linking objects from static linklibs, for example.

Previously everything worked because $AROS_CC was a wrapper on top of $HOST_CC. And a real crosscompiler was used on non-ELF hosts.

Android is the same. $KERNEL_CC is incompatible with AROS.

compiler=kernel  is  appropriate _ONLY FOR CODE WHICH RUNS ON HOST OS_ (or  barebone  hardware,  if  we  talk  about  native).  This includes bootstraps,  their  linklibs, and host-side dynamic libraries (Windows makes extensive use of them because of architectural considerations.

No single AROS object should be compiled with this setting. $KERNEL_CC is really compatible with AROS *ONLY IN LINUX-HOSTED* and no more. On other systems (Darwin, Windows,  Android) this is not true any more, and compiler=kernel is never going to work.

If  you  want  to  compile your AROS module against host OS includes, append  the  following  to  USER_INCLUDES  (or  USER_CFLAGS,  this  is effectively the same):

 -isystem $(GENINCDIR) $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) expands to:

 -isystem  &lt;your_os_includes&gt;  -isystem  &lt;host_OS_gcc_private_includes&gt;
 -nostdinc

This makes AROS compiler adhering to host OS APIs.

If you want some preprocessor symbols based on what your host OS actually is, add something like -DHOST_OS_$(AROS_HOST_ARCH).

Why is there $(GENINCDIR) at all? Because host OS has its own libc includes, which would conflict with AROS ones. And the host OS libc is not binary-compatible with AROS one.

Why doesn't Windows-hosted port use $(KERNEL_INCLUDES) ? Because WinAPI includes conflict with AROS ones in fundamental typedefs, like WORD, BYTE and BOOL. It's almost impossible to deal with this in any other way than rewriting WinAPI definitions using AROS types.

Building under centos 6.3 (i386) currently, and AROS creates the toolchain itself. haven't yet committed the necessary changes but &quot;./configure --target=raspi-armhf&quot; is enough to start, then &quot;make arosboot-raspi&quot; will generate arosraspi.img (containing the bootstrap, kernel.resource, and exec.library) as well as arosraspi.rom (containing all the other essentials components such as dos, graphics etc).  It will also copy over a config.txt file to make the raspi bootstrap code load the correct kernel, and a cmdline.txt that enables exec debug output.

=== Core Kernel ===

the reason behind INTB_KERNEL is to allow use of the standard Exec function AddIntServer() to add interrupt handlers for
hardware drivers etc. AmigaOS never used it for abstract hardware drivers. AmigaOS  routed  only  raw  hardware IRQs there. Their assignment was hardcoded. As well as number of them. Actually on AmigaOS every bus has its own interrupt subsystem. For example PCI bus. PCI interrupts on Amiga are routed to a single exec interrupt.  1:1 relationship between CPU  and hardware interrupts is present only on PC.

IMHO we miss things like AddInterrupt/RemInterrupt methods on our PCI subsystem's device class.  PCI bus class should map these methods to whatever is appropriate. This is how it is done on AmigaOS and friends. When these are implemented, raw kernel.resource API will be needed only for several PC-specific drivers with hardwired resources. Exec IRQs are real IRQs only on Amiga hardware. On other machines they can be emulated where appropriate (VBlank is a good example). kernel.resource is meant  to be different, its IRQs are hardware-agnostic, they are plain &quot;Hardware IRQ number X, whatever this means&quot;. They are low-level actually, and meaningful only in the context of a particular system.

Was that not the transition from irq.hidd to kernel.resource? No.  A long time ago there was another hacky bit named INTB_TIMERTICK. It was &quot;abstract timer interrupt&quot;, used by timer.device. It was the same as VBlank, but with larger frequency. I removed it, because kernel.resource API was a cleaner way to access this interrupt. Furthermore, there can be more than one timer in the system. I am even thinking about bringing back timer HIDD definitions again. hpet.resource is a bad idea.

Can someone please enlighten me a little on how the scheduler is meant to work?
 
Poseidon.library creates its &quot;Poseidon Event Task&quot; during RTF_COLDSTART -&gt; then calls Wait(), and ends up in limbo because wait disables interrupts (used for the scheduler heartbeat), and basically waits forever because the sigbit is never set, since krnSwitch doesn't switch the task unless TF_SWITCH is set, and no codepath run during this seems to set it?? TF_SWITCH does not disable/enable switching. This flag just enables to run user-supplied hook when the task is being switched away. It is completely safe to call Wait() in Disable()d state. Doing this actually temporarily breaks this state. IDNestCnt gets remembered in struct Task, then next task is selected, and its IDNestCnt is restored in sysbase (see kernel_scheduler.c). If there are no other tasks, then your cpu_Dispatch() should enable interrupts on the CPU and enter idle mode. See x86 implementation for good example.

You miss what happens next...
 1. KrnSwitch() saves context of your task, saves IDNestCnt (core_Switch() and cpu_Switch()), then drops into cpu_Dispatch().
 2. cpu_Dispatch() calls core_Dispatch. Then two cases are possible:
 2a. There is a READY task. It is picked up, its IDNestCnt is restored in SysBase, then cpu_Dispatch() needs to restore registers and exit. The next task is run.
 2b. There are no READY tasks. core_Dispatch() returns NULL. In this case your cpu_Dispatch() should enter idle loop. It should just enable interrupts on the CPU and put it on halt. This allows it to process hardware interrupts. Eventually some of your interrupt handlers wakes up your task and puts it into READY list.

My heartbeat interrupt has been slowed atm to help debugging - but it never actually gets a chance to fire because of the Wait() disabling interrupts. Perhaps you have forgotten to enable interrupts in your idle loop.

There is a change in the format of AROS executables. Until now we were using Elf RELocable files which are usually used as intermediate object files. We had them for various reasons, one of them was how AROS files were built in the past. That days we had no real aros cross compiler and the option to embed relocation data in unix executables (or in executable files in general) was rather new and not every linux/unix system had it. Therefore we have decided to use intermediate files. Although it was somehow working (and it is still working :-)), it has some drawbacks. Therefore decided to introduce real Elf EXEC types, in first turn implemented on ARM target with option to expand in future to all other AROS architectures.

The first patch was pretty easy and appeared to work somehow. It generated nice executables with embedded relocation info. Not only that, it also removed all global symbols adjusting relocation data to be relative to the beginning of the sections. That move reduced number of symbols in each executable significantly (depending on the file between 20 and 80% of all symbols could be removed). The only symbols that stayed in the file are local ones - due to the nature of the patch wasn't able to remove them since we have not seen them in the symbol hash table.

The patch didn't worked though. The files were relocated, AROS kernel loaded, but it crashed very early. What happened? Well, the nature of ARM relocations happened :)

Most of the relocation data on all machines is rather simple. Relocation can be absolute or pc-relative, sometimes the offset has to be bit shifted. On ARM v7 there is another one. There, when one wants to load an address of function/variable into register a combination of two instructions can be used: movw and movt. The first one loads immediate into lower 16 bits of a register while clearing upper 16 bits. The second one loads immediate into upper 16 bits without touching lower halfword. Loading of a pointer into a register looks like this:

        movw r0, #:lower16:label

        movt   r0, #:upper16:label

In this case there are two relocations - one for lower halfword and another for upper. If an overflow of lower 16 bits occurs during relocation process, the upper one should be updated as well. Unfortunately with current patch and with typical ARM executables there is not enough information to perform the calculations.

There are two options - the first one would be to give up and go back to &quot;fake&quot; executables, another one would be to change from REL to RELA relocation info. The latter contains an addend, extra data which can be used to perform all the relocation calculations I need.

Decided for the second option. The patch is already in the works. There is another function for the binutils' bfd backend to perform the final relocation. There can decide what to do with every reloc info, modify data and eventually strip some symbols. An advantage is - at this stage of the linking process have also full access to all local symbols so can change all relocations section relative and eventually strip all symbols from the files. 

=== GPU ===

Most of start.elf runs on the GPU.   Placing ALL the userland GPU code in the videocore.hidd isn't going to be a terribly big problem because the code they published is nothing more than a shim that sends data straight to the GPU to execute.

The good news about this is that we only need to write our HIDD using the OpenVG API.   The shim is relatively small codewise and lives in the ARM memory (the actual OpenVG code itself lives in the GPU RAM area and its loaded from start.elf).   That's also the bad news.  Our driver has to translate AROS video calls to OpenVG calls, for most tasks it should be easy, for some, not so much.  It's still probably less difficult and less work, than controlling the GPU directly.

The other good news is that anything done through OpenVG happens on the GPU, its truly accelerated.   It also has some nice font functions, meaning we can lead into an accelerated text mode later.

Basically, AROS resets or locks up when it tries to use AROS_ATOMIC_INC or DEC.  If I comment out the byte/word operations in the header files and use non-atomic operations, the code works as expected.
 
have read that the L1 cache needs to be enabled to use LDREX and co (which I also read is only meant to be used on multi processor systems with shared memory) - however I am certain this is correctly enabled.

If you are using LREX or STREX, you should have L1 cache enabled, at least on the ARM CPU I work with at work.

L1 cache is enabled by enabling the MMU *AND* setting the C and I bits in the CPU - the C bit is ignored, and the I bit only covers the 16 byte instruction pipeline if the MMU is not enabled.

Can you verify that your assembly is generating LDREX/STREX? From the behavior, it almost sounds like its generating the default Semaphore locked atomics.
 Impossible. There are no semaphore-locked atomics. There are Disable()/Enable()-based ones instead. And there's a special #define AROS_NO_ATOMIC_OPERATIONS in this case, which tweaks Disable()/Enable() implementations not to recurse forever.
 I have tested this on ARMv5 which does not have ldrex/strex, it works fine. On those ARMs there's no way to have real atomics. On other OSes (like Linux) this is done by introducing things like atomic_t, which appears to be a complex structure, holding the value together with accompanying spinlock (implemented using swp).

    #warning &quot;TODO: lookup optimal mmu table settings for raspi memory&quot;
        /* Set up an identity-mapping for all 4GB */
        for(x = 0; x &lt; 4096; x ++)
        {
            pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | (0x40002|0x80000|0x010000|0x00C00|0x04);
        }

Shouldn't there be a second loop that sets the 'C' bit in the descriptor for the RAM pages?

Currently, you have TEX=0, C=0, B=1 for all pages (Shared Device).

You should have TEX=0, C=1, B=0 for RAM (Write-Through, Cached)

    So ..
     
     pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | 2;

     
    should be enough?

No, for RAM you need to change the '| 0x40' to '| 0x80'

tell dosboot the correct defaults to use

Please don't do this. This bootconfig.c is a deprecated legacy thing. I wanted it to go away completely with time. Instead,  display  drivers  should auto-install themselves during own initialization phase. I. e. detect hardware=&gt;instantiate itself. This   should   make  things way simpler. With this approach you only need  to add the driver into KS image to get the device autobooted. No
hardcoded stuff. 
Currently  VESA  and  VGA drivers do this, look there for examples. never rewrote ATI driver because i don't have any test system for it.

they defined a smaller AROSCPUContext than the ExceptionContext - yet reference it as ExceptionContext in other places, and since it hasn't allocated enough storage for ExceptionContext, are corrupting memory/the structure (since the elements that are there don't map 1 to 1 with the exception context).

AFAIK, AROS has been moving in a different direction to this in recent
years. It is the job of graphics HIDDs to allocate bitmaps etc. so that
they have the most suitable characteristics, including allocating them
from GPU RAM where possible. The concept of chip RAM is only for legacy
code, and most if not all non-68k platforms should have all system RAM
marked as chip.

BTW, is the video processing code you mention CPU code or GPU code?

Also, IIRC we have support for &quot;external memory allocators&quot;. Perhaps that's what we need for the allocation of GPU RAM through the mailbox.

All hosted and x86 native ports should use proper context formats.

trying to clarify if the vblank handler has to have run by this point to prevent this deadlock. Actually, no. Unless you have installed VBlank handler which should wake up at some point. Without VBlank there will be no quantum count. Consequently, there will be no forced preemption. But the rest will work, and multitasking will be cooperative (switch happens only when current task voluntarily gives up the CPU). Does it depend on the vblank having run before this point? and if yes what does that mean on systems where it might be able to run enough code (e.g. get to this point) before the vblank interrupt has triggered? What is it waiting for? It could wait for timer, in this case you need timer.device working. VBlank is currently needed for exec's quantum counter. In current native ports we have only a single timer, which is served by timer.device. VBlank is simulated by timer.device also. If your machine has two timers, then you can use one of them for VBlank, and another for timer.device, this will simplify things down. VBlank needs to be 50 Hz for historical reasons, many programs use it as cheap timer. I am periodically thinking about making some abstract mechanism to be able to change quantum source (and untie it from 50 Hz), but have no time to come up with something good. Additionally i started disliking timer.device hardcoded design when PC has got many timers (old 8253, APIC, HPET).
Currently i think there should be some low-level entity representing tick source. timer.device should just select the most appropriate source for its units.
The BCM2835 has 4 GPU based timer sources - 2 are used by the GPU, so im using Timer3 for our heartbeat and the remaining one will be free to the system. There is also the less capable ARM timer but that is dependent on the CPU frequency. Very good. You won't need any emulation. Set the heartbeat to 50 Hz and drive VBlank from it. Use other timer for MicroHZ.

Can you use the 'econsole.hook' I make for debugging the Sam460 via the serial port?
It provides a before-anything-else shell prompt on the serial port.  You can then do 'NewCLI' to test your graphics, or use any DOS command in shellcommands.resource.

You should just be able to add econsole.hook to your module list, and use 'econsole' in your bootargs.

So long as you have a working Exec/RawMayGetChar and Exec/RawPutChar, it should work.

Also make sure to add shell.resource and shellcommands.resource for this.

That should have done it.

If you set &quot;#define DEBUG 1&quot; in  arch/all-native/econsole/econsole.c, do you get any additional serial output?

have added it to the build and added econsole to the command line - and can see the bootloader picks up on the emergency bootconsole tag, but I still only get the insert bootable media display?

Im assuming it exposes a fake filesystem that tricks aros into booting?
The contents of which are: ECON:AROS.boot

Way to handle the scheduling code? The implementations I had been following were causing problems, due to cascading interrupts which I cant handle properly in the asm stubs just now (when they break disable etc.) - since it means detecting the interrupted codes cpu mode and getting the correct sp/lr for it, and that's just too tedious for arm.
 
To work around this ive added a system idle task which does nothing - and when the scheduling code has no task to run switches this in and lets it run, thereby allowing the interrupts etc to resume until something does need to happen.
 
Also, by adding accounting code to cpu_Switch() and cpu_Dispatch(), it should allow the system to log idle time correctly (as well as running tasks).
 
have thought of also adding an additional task that never runs, solely to record time spent in IRQ handlers, but I digress..

was under the impression that kernel.resource should *never* be used outside of exec.library. This is a wrong impression.
Michal started designing it because portable nature of AROS does not fit well into exec's API with all its assumptions. So, he started the new, hardware-agnostic kernel API from scratch. Yes, exec sits on top of it in places. But kernel always meant to be open thing. Otherwise it would not exist. 
it wasn't meant to be just used willy nilly by user code - but by lower system components (e.g. exec) so that they could be implemented in a more generic fashion, and the kernel resource itself hide the systems quirks.

Adding new things there perfectly keeps up with our decision to minimize AROS-specific intervention into APIs which can clash with MorphOS/OS4 extensions. We want at least source-level compatibility there. Binary compatibility on PPC would be extremely cool, but at the other hand we have no maintainer for this, as well as their ABIs are a bit weird and far from optimal, especially MorphOS one, because it aims for m68k binary compatibility.
It depends on what exactly is being implemented - there's no reason we should have everything crammed into kernel.resource if it doesn't need to be (i.e. if its better suited as a separate component/subsystem in its own right)

The _LE versions are for when you have endian swapping taking place.  If the graphics are the same endian as the CPU, no swapping should occur.  I ran into a similar terminology problem in SDL with a friend insisting that his Radeon 7000 on his PC was big-endian.  It is not, it just uses the same endianness for the graphics card and the CPU so no swapping was necessary.  They were both little-endian.
The _LE versions are because the PixFmts refer to the bitmap data being in big endian format in memory, for which the normal version would need to do endianness conversion before applying the shifts/masks. on this platform it is in _LE in memory also so we don't need the conversion hence using the _LE version of the call). would use _LE (if it's really little endian 16 bit mode).

 
What is the bare minimum needed to implement a framebuffer based gfx driver, with our software handling the rest?
 
I have tried with just a gfx class that only expose new/dispose/newbitmap - and having an onscreenbitmap used only for the framebuffer itself (with all other bitmaps being chunkybm, and the framebuffer's superclass also being chunkybm), but that alone isn't enough it seems?
You can use workbench/hidds/sm502/ as your example - it is as simple as I could make it.
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

I so far have -:
 
vc_init: queries the gpus memory, and sets up a fake memory handler for it, then adds the bootmode driver and  returns saying all is well
vc_gfxhidd:New: sets up some fake syncmodes to test with and creates the real gfx object.
vc_gfxhidd:NewBitmap: checks if its a framebuffer and uses the onbitmap class or uses the chunkybm class otherwise
vc_onbitmap:New; creates a chunkybm object and then pushes the real framebuffer address into it as the buffer,
 
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

The code I currently have on SVN seems to create the framebuffers bitmap object fine, but then crashes in intuitions DisplayDriver callback.  In particular it crashes performing the getattr on the system default pointer.
don't expose MEMF_CHIP in an allocatable form so AllocSpriteData was failing (and other code later doesn't check if the values are valid == illegal memory accesses)

Actually MEMF_CHIP has to present, for historical reasons.
This has been never fully agreed upon, but in ports i wrote i exposed the whole memory as MEMF_CHIP. The idea behind this is that CHIP is originally the memory where graphics and sound data can be put. On non-Amiga platforms there are no restrictions on this, so the whole memory is CHIP.
Yes, many old software can misbehave with CHIP memory size larger than 2MB. But this actually applies only to m68k AROS which is going to run m68k binaries. In other cases it's quite logical to fix the program when porting.

As to original question: yes, it's enough to have a framebuffer bitmap (one with aoHidd_BitMap_FrameBuffer set to TRUE) and PutPixel routine. It framebuffer can be served by chunky bitmap class, then you can simply create chunky bitmap with your own buffer (see how VESA driver does this). Chunky PutPixel is already there.

struggling to determine what is the correct pixfmt to use for the 24/16/15 bit gfx modes on the RasPi.  AFAIK it uses RGB565, for 16bit but im unsure what shifts etc should go with it? suffice to say Im getting the wrong colors so far lol.

&lt;pre&gt;
redmask: 0x0000F800
greenmask: 0x000007E0
bluemask: 0x0000001F
alphamask: 0

redshift: 16
greenshift: 21
blueshift: 27
alphashift: 0
&lt;/pre&gt;

It should likely be vHidd_StdPixFmt_RGB16_LE

This stuff is a bit confusing.  The &quot;names&quot; of the stdpixfmts are based on the layout in memory,
ignoring endianess. So for example:

ARGB32: will be 0xAA 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB in memory on both big endian and little endian machines.

The shifts and masks OTOH are based on pixel access (ULONG in this case), so differ depending
on whether you run on big endian machine or little endian machine (that's why there's stdpixfmt_le.h and
stdpixfmt_be.h in rom/hidds/graphics/).

With the 16 bit pixel format it's even more confusing, as for example it's impossible on little endian machine
to describe RGB16 with shifts/masks alone. That's why there's vHidd_PixFmt_SwapPixelBytes_Flag.
(RGB16 == RRRRRGGG GGGBBBBB in memory, and for pixel (WORD) access on little endian machine it needs to
be accessed as GGGBBBBBRRRRRGGGG).

The shifts btw indicate how much to shift the component to the left (!) so that it is moved to the highest bit (31).

The aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you specify will be ignored most of the time, because when the pixelfmt is registered,
the gfx hidd checks if there's an identical pixfmt (shifts/masks/etc., but ignoring pixfmt-&gt;stdpixfmt) already in the system,
and if so, it uses the already existing one and does not create a new one.

In theory it would be better if gfx drivers could simply/only specify a StdPixFmt without all the shifts/masks stuff when the
gfx driver uses pixfmt which matches one of the stdpixfmts exactly. Another possibility would be for gfx drivers to use
HIDD_Gfx_GetPIxFmt(stdpixfmt_gfx_driver_wants_to_use) and then peek shifts/masks from it and fill out a pixfmt
tag list based on that.
15bit very blue/green: Try to pass same shifts/masks/etc. as in 16 bit pixfmt (maybe you think it's using 15 bit R5G5B5
(or swapped) but it's actually still using 16 bit R5G6B5 (or swapped).
 aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you pass is mostly ignored. It's the shift/masks/etc. that count.
But I would still pass the correct one (_LE) == whatever rom/hidds/graphics/stdpixfmts_??.h uses
in the entry where you have looked up shifts/masks/etc.

Use the shifts/masks/etc. from the entry in stdpixfmt_le.h (if you are running on little endian machine) or stdpixfmt_be.h (if you
are running on little endian machine) that matches the pixfmt that its meant to be.

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

it feels like AROS trashes the alpha component, otherwise it should be 8A8R8G8B.

read on the subject suggest its in 1x5r5g5b (x is ignored) to keep 16bit alignment .
 
What I see on screen suggests to me that wrong shift/mask are being applied - however going by the 16bit versions it all looks correct to me so I am really confused as to what is happening.
 
The output image looks to have too much green/blue, and very weak red.

Why did usbromstartup become HW-specific ?
In  the  past i have done a big job separating kickstart into several parts. I have never got any responses, so i re-describe my idea.

For now it loads the hs otg chipset driver ..

The  idea  is  to minimize amount of archirecture-specific modules to
    make   user's  life  easier.  So,  the kickstart was split into 'base'
    (which  does  not  contain anything machine-specific) and 'BSP' (Board
    Support Package) which contains all hardware-specific stuff.
     This  way,  for  example, distribution makers can save up space on CD
    and  make  CDs with multiple platform support. Different configuration
    would load the same base with different BSP's.
     Next  there  was some part which is entirely missing on hosted. These
    are   filesystems.  Hosted  ports  do  not need them to boot up, so on
    hosted   they  are  left  out.  At  the  other  hand,  they  are  also
    architecture-agnostic.  So  i put them into 'FS' package (standing for
    'filesystem').

     Poseidon  is  one  more  big part. I made it into separate package in
    order to allow users to omit it if they don't need it (for example, to
    run  on retro PCs without USB). Personally i have one. Again, Poseidon
    is  hardware-agnostic (well, there are USB drivers but HCIs are pretty
    standard).

It's mandatory on PI since there are no other interface types - so being a separate package is irrelevant/pointless.

Is Raspberry's USB controller non-HCI compliant? Actually i expect it to be compliant, then wouldn't it be better to make existing drivers discovering them? 
 
AFAIK its HCI 1.0 compliant but I'm not familiar enough with poseidons drivers, nor USB, to just hack away at the existing code.  Perhaps once i'm more familiar with the workings I can merge in the changes needed to get it operating but for now I will focus on getting it running.  Also our drivers have known issues so perhaps a fresh set of eyes might shed some light on what is going wrong.

Another interesting question is whether Poseidon can operate on device side. Is it flexible enough? How similar is being a USB host and USB device? think it will need a bit of work on Poseidon's side.  Until then I will force the driver into Host/Master mode in the init code, but leave open device etc to configure the chipset for either's use - and look at trying to add support for working in Device/Slave mode &amp; switching modes once it's up and running.

Actually USBROMStartup is some kind of kludge. Can there be any alternative? Could device drivers be self-installing, like our HIDDs? This would get rid of need to list them in USBRomStartup.

And there is one more thing about modular ports. In order to actually implement this, your bootstrapping environment should provide the ability to load several files. On PC this is provided by GRUB2. on CHRP you can read filesystem via OpenFirmware, and Sam's Parthenope relies on modified u-boot. If your bootstrap allows to load only a single file, then you stuck with monolithic kickstart. By the way...  u-boot allows not only to boot up a single uImage or zImage, it also allows to write client programs AFAIK. With this approach, you actually can write modular bootstrap for ARM AROS using unmodified u-boot.

Will raspberrypi ARM programs run on other ARM archs and vice-versa ? If not I would like to use different cpu names for 
archs which are incompatible. 
All code compiled for at most armv6 with softfp float abi will work on all softfp ARM targets, including raspberry. 
Code compiled for hard-float ABI will not work on any softfp target. But then, hard-float abi uses -armhf- cpu name.

hdmi issues

Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there.

You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal.

If the display is a computer monitor or newer tv, use hdmi_group=1 (auto HDMI use) and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2 (for DMT formats, i.e. for PC monitors) then you HAVE to &quot;set hdmi_drive = 2 to enable HDMI output as this forces HDMI mode rather than DVI mode

Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options.

Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1 A and not 500 mA.
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost

There are several different ways that these 4 pole (ring) composite analog cables can be wired up, so some work great in some applications and can be a waste of time in others.

What is needed for the Raspberry Pi B+ and above, which like many camcorders needs the ring contact next to the base contact to be the ground.

The wiring for the 4 pole are:

TIP (LEFT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 1 (RIGHT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 2 (GROUND/EARTH)

RING 3 BASE/SLEEVE (VIDEO) YELLOW

Most Apple based Players and the Microsoft Zune (TM) are wired this way.

Most analogue camcorders are wired this way as well, where the ground in on Ring 2 will work with the Pi although you may need to swap your Video plug with the Right Audio plug.

Nearly all other MP3 players are not wired this way, the ground is on another ring ie the wrong one.

It can be a bad 15-pin FFC ribbon cable, when swapped, camera(s) and the Pi itself are working OK. It can be an instance of a cold solder joint on the CSI connector on the pi board.  the camera can be detected (that's done via I2C) but may still not be able to receive image data (done via CSI-2) if something is broken. CSI-2 is uni-directional. Control is generally done via I2C. 
The CSI-2 receiver always writes to memory, not direct to the ISP. That's the way the Broadcom architecture works as it allows multipass processing easily. GPU memory is accessible from the ARM. Processing using the QPU graphics processors may be possible.  currently the only supported sensor is OV5647 and IMX219.  The linux drivers are all in the firmware blob, else you'd  be looking at at least a man-month of work in a fully fledged imaging lab to do a decent tuning of the camera modules' ISP parameters. 
Static electricity maybe an issue for the camera module and slightly less for the pi board.

Help building AROS hosted on Linux ARM

I was looking a way to use more my Handheld ARM based called Pyra (Dragonbox Pyra) an ARM (Omap5 cpu with 4GB ram) linux based machine (Debian Buster v10 with kernel 5.6.19 adapted) and have a try to compile the latest Aros sources by Deadwood directly on this device.
Compilation stops after build libpopupmenu.a and trying to build libatomic have this error:

looking at config.log on arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/host/tools/crosstools/gnu/gcc/arm-aros/libatomic

i found that arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf/arm-aros-ld: cannot find -laeabi
so i do make linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick
and the missing lib was built.

now the next stop is at
fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
and
fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
in many places so after checking that i have this missing include files i have noted that my include path is a bit different, standard searching path is /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf but in my system is /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
so if i add my path to some mmakefiles compilation goes on....but is a better way to add this path to avoid every mmakefiles to be changed?
i fixed with adding
-I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
to where is missing on mmakefiles like
USER_INCLUDES := -isystem $(GENINCDIR) -I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

P.s. I have changed many mmakefiles and have at least compiled (after many hours) the toolchain doing make every time in arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build (also have to disable making tests under cplusplus but don't remember the directory ...) but i ask an help to have an automated way to correctly build without modify mmakefiles.


Last time I built armhf target was around 2 years ago. At that point I built is via cross-compilation from linux (ubuntu 22.04) using linux armhf crosscompiler (this can explain the path differences you are experiencing) as well as using AROS gcc cross-compiler in version 6.5.0 (build with option 21) in rebuild.sh). Since then AROS GCC has been updated to 10.5.0 and I don't believe anyone tried to build the armhf target again.

My suggestion would be to downgrade GCC to 6.5.0 (via editing AROS/config/gcc_def file) and try to first build using cross-compilation from x86_64 linux. Once that works, you will have a &quot;template&quot; to compare to native compilation under arm linux.


Thanks for your suggestion...but i think the toolchain with GCC 10.5.0 is compilable if i found a way to pass the path of my system to the script that build (option 21 on rebuild).
The other only changes are (but i don't know where to modify...) is to add the build of libaeabi and disable the building of some tests under cplusplus that use exceptions and is not supported under ARM.
I'll try to crosscompile with my Linux amd64 PC.

For paths look into core-linux-armhf/bin/linux-armhf/gen/config/target.cfg. A number of build-wide variable is set there containing paths to local build system. These variables and the target.cfg file are generated by AROS ./configure script.

Thanks compilation now go forward...i changed target.cfg under &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/config&quot; and do make on &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build&quot; dir.

Now i need to find where to enable build libaeabi.a so i can build the entire toolchain with option 21 of rebuild.sh


I found something that looks like libeabi in AROS/arm-all/arm-aeabi/mmakefile.src. Try adding a third line there:

#MM- linklibs-armhd : libklibs-aeabi-arm

Though I don't remember needing this library. Possibly the 6.5.0 GCC somehow does this while 10.5.0 is missing this.


I try adding this line (and the variant &quot;linklibs-armhf&quot; instead of hd) but it did not solve the automatic building of the missing lib. I must do &quot;linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick&quot;.
Anyway after have build the aeabi lib i succefully built the toolchain (after many hours...). Smile

To test I restarted from selecting option 21 (on rebuild.sh) but after many hours i get the same error of the kernel includes not found...maybe i need to modify the configure script for my case.

With the toolchain built i try to build the core-linux-armhf (DEBUG) (option 22) but after a while it stopped with
&quot;cannot find -laeabi &quot; so i made it built manually...and now i can continue compiling...i'll let you know if all goes ok.

==Introduction==

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charity founded in May 2009 to promote the study of basic computer science in schools, and is responsible for developing a single-board computer called the Raspberry Pi.

The Foundation is supported by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and Broadcom. Its aim is to &quot;promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.&quot;

The original Raspberry Pi 1 Model B computer went on sale in February 2012 and set a new standard shattering the dominance of the PC in the home and education markets. Millions in the various formats, A, B, A+, B+ and Compute have since been shipped worldwide. The original concept of the Raspberry Pi was for a computer board providing Internet access with up to 1080p HD graphics at very low cost. The boards provide a platform for children and adults from any background to acquire computer science knowledge and help develop the future World-Wide-Web and all things internet (IOT hub and bridges out to home network to cloud of sensors).

Hobbyists and tech dabblers/tinkerers are the main purchases of the Pis (around half).

The rest of the sales are split between education/industrial. While the Raspberry Pi boards were designed primarily for education, they have become very popular with manufacturers of embedded systems. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has ensured backwards compatibility with each new revision. The bare-bones Compute module is aimed specifically at the OEM manufacturer.

The overclock ability has diminished with each chip version as the energy usage has very slowly risen. BCM2837 is one of the warmest yet and might benefit from active cooling (ie fan) if all four cpu cores are in use for a short while. Video playback is not affected due to the custom support in the GPU. 5 V / 2.4 or 2.5 amp power supply recommended if all four cpu cores are running, else throttling (cpu slowdown) might occur.

==Implemented so far...==

# Modify the configure system so that it correctly builds for the arm hardware float raspi target.
# Implemented the bootstrap to load the aros modules and prepare the arm to jump into them. Reworked the x86 console support so that parts can be stolen for raspi to use since t has no basic functionality to output to the display.
# Implemented a kernel.resource to prepare the raspi for running aros and provide the low level api calls to expose available resources and allow exec, etc function.
# Implemented serial debug support
# Implemented the exec (and kernel) functionality required to make multitasking work (and interrupts, exceptions, syscalls, etc)
# Implemented a timer.device to utilise the hardware timers.
# Implemented a very basic gfx driver to expose the hardware's framebuffer.
# Implemented an SD-Card driver for AROS which presently only supports the raspi's chipset but can easily be modified to support all sd-card hardware and media.
# Fixed the fat filesystem support in AROS so that it can boot on RasPi's normal SD-Card setup. The &quot;rom&quot; image files needed use a different filename than the default linux, etc images so can be easily installed without harming the existing files - you only need to change the loaded images in the config file to get aros to boot.
# Updated the build scripts to automatically download the necessary raspi firmware files and wrap it all up so that you can simply extract the archive to a fat formatted sdcard and boot it on the raspi without having to get anything else.
# fix everything in contrib and ports to build for raspi (needs proper testing/fixes but allows every component to actually compile at least, including owb) + numerous other fixes to get things working on arm/raspi ..


Improvements...

# Implement a USB chipset driver &quot;OR&quot; finish the existing one [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/c07d13c724f944674be5db54fc6a71ee72a01809 usb otg] - the current code is mostly a skeleton that should initialise the chipset and then needs relevant code to support the different transfer types. It also has the &quot;virtual&quot; hub code in place to represent the raspi's USB port (from poseidons p.o.v) 
# Implement a driver for the USB NIC (a few weeks - depends on USB above) 
# Write an [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/d55d0f74d20b769bbb8c8d386e5c1d7a9154f05a audio driver] (a few weeks - independent of USB) and [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/e93a4c245f27a87c9c4c1d39206694b39059998a HDMI]
# fix syscall bug in the current raspi kernel code
# Graphics depend on having a decent &quot;bcmdma.resource&quot; implemented as to use the cpu's dma engine. The sd card driver needs to use it for transfers to/from the controller - and the gfx system needs to use it for &quot;blitting&quot;.

===Boot up ===

On power-up, the rpi [http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/ BCM 2835] [https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv VideoCore4] GPU, not the ARM CPU, is in control, and the SD card slot is the only peripheral device with power. The firmware burned into the BCM2835's VideoCoreIV GPU PROM requires a DOS-style partition table; a FAT-formatted first partition; and the freely redistributable but closed sourced Broadcom files “bootcode.bin” and “start.elf” in that partition.

The boot sequence carries out several pre-boot tasks

*On powering of the rpi, the GPU reads and executes bootcode.bin, which then loads start.elf 
*The GPU loads the “start.elf” file, eventually, into the L2 cache and then executes it
*configures the memory split for the CPU and GPU
*reads and parses “config.txt” from the same partition on the SD card and applies the settings (like a PC’s BIOS settings)
*loads the “kernel.img” file, again from the same partition
*activates the CPU to begin executing the loaded kernel image

The CPU/GPU memory split is hard-coded into start.elf, so Broadcom provides three start.elf images, to give 32M, 64M, or 128M to the GPU for multimedia performance, and the remainder to the CPU.

RPi uses [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware some closed source loaders] and at some point it loads a binary blob named &quot;kernel.img&quot; at 0x8000, at that point there would be a rudimentary Aros alive. If one wants to use the SD-card then there would have to be a driver for the interface and a fat filesystem handler (SD-card has to be formatted to fat filesystem)

Boot code and kernel are now linked together and made into that binary blob, just for starters. Raspberry Pi uses [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot] and [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=138 UBoot] as bootloader, there's already some code in the Efika MX port for that. UBoot is a native bootloader and not just for the raspberry pi, it loads after start.elf.

You can find Efika MX port from arch implementations, some hacking is needed for the mmakefile.src'es as iit dates back to before the Aros crosstool era or else you get some weird errors while building. You also need to code the bootstrap and serial handling.

At the moment it seems that a fastest route for the native build would be to make one binary blob without using the package system. Raspberry's memory layout is pretty simple and if the implemented u-boot doesn't support loading other modules

===Framebuffer - basic display===

RasPi has to speak to the &quot;operating system&quot; which runs on the GPU itself and request/free memory - it cant directly manage it itself, and so the managed functions were used to wrap these calls.

The Arm and GPU share memory space. The framebuffer is shared. The Arm can write a pixel and it will appear on the screen (through GPU hardware) without flushing/copying being required.

The GPU can composite multiple FB's in real time - so you have a number of surfaces defined which are rotated etc and  composited in real time to the output. Copying can map from the address space of the Arm to the flat space of the GPU which takes some code, but I don't think whole buffers are copied.

The DMA hardware can also access the whole memory space and can perform 2D fills and blits (no blending). This is documented in the peripheral spec posted. The DMA is just an Arm accessible peripheral and can be set up with low latency (e.g. microseconds).
must use a 0xc0000000-based bus address to access SDRAM, yet non-DMA access should go via a 0x0-based bus address. 
For 2D dma, set TDMODE, and the spec says &quot;interpret the TXFR_LEN register as YLENGTH number of transfers each of XLENGTH, and add the strides to the address after each transfer.&quot; so set STRIDE to pitch of the image, the width is XLENGTH and height is YLENGTH. You would fill by not setting the SRC_INC and point source to your fill data.

The DMA cannot see the ARM's L1 cache, so you would map the framebuffer with ioremap_nocache. Depending on where the source data comes from, it may need an L1 cache flush. The DMA can see the L2 cache. Use 0xC0000000 bus addresses when L2 is disabled and 0x40000000 bus addresses when L2 is enabled. (actually just call virt_to_bus and you'll get the right address out).

openGLES/openVG has high latency. Writing to framebuffer then reading it back is very inefficient (e.g. milliseconds). If you can drive it a unidirectional way, just streaming commands at then that is efficient. openVG is not implemented on top of openGLES - it uses the same hardware but as a first class interface

To improve the Gfx driver, we will need a DMA resource implemented so can use to perform DMA operations. The Gfx driver will need this to perform blits.

===USB ===

* Model A and B limited to 150 mA per port. 
* Model B+ and Pi 2 introduced configurable 600 mA to 1.2 A support over all ports - anything above that requires a powered USB hub.

Implementing the hardware driver that Poseidon uses to interact with the USB components.

Have code in place to (try) and initialise the USB chipset, and configure host/device mode operation (though AFAICT Poseidon doesn't support device mode). Started to get the &quot;virtual&quot; root hub written for the single USB port so that Poseidon should at least list it correctly in the GUI - and try to interact with it to find peripherals.


The BCM2835 uses a soft IP block from Synopsys’ DesignWare library (DWC), specifically the block is called dwc_usb_2_0_hs_otg_subsystem-ahb_se (“USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG Controller Subsystem w/AHB Interface SE”).

There is no public documentation for this, and pretty much zero chance of anyone getting hold of it even with NDA. However, there's a Linux driver written by Synopsys ([https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux dwc_usb]). Specifically directories [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_common_port] and [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_otg].

The Synopsys code is actually under a fairly permissive licence – it's not GPL, it's similar to BSD (’don't sue us if it breaks’ is pretty much the only clause). So this should not be a barrier to porting the code.

The code is really well written, with a nice partition between the work done by the driver (dwc_otg, which is fairly involved, given the host does more work than a conventional EHCI driver), and the interface to Linux (dwc_common_port).

Probably only need provision of relevant changes to dwc_common_port. Other things to consider....

* Provision of necessary headers to get it to compile
* Provision of necessary functions (main issues are wait queues, threads, work queues, tasklets, timers, spinlocks and mutexes (multithreading) )
* Interfacing between USB stack and the driver. dwc_otg/dwc_otg_hcd_linux.c looks like the place to start.

the Linux bits of the headers are only required for the dwc_common_port library. dwc_common_port includes a variety of crypto functions which are not used – it appears to also be used for ultrawideband (UWB) and wireless USB (WUSB) drivers where crypto will be an issue, but it isn't going to be for plain wired USB.

Every USB driver acts as an USB hub as well in order to let Poseidon control the state of USB ports. The code there was reading status of the only USB port in Raspberry's CPU but when changing the status it erroneously deleted some of the status bits, including the port enable one. It was so because those bits in the status register are of a type Read/WriteToClear. It means, if one does not want to change their value from 1 back to 0, one has to actually write the 0 value. Very practical thing e.g. in interrupt handlers, where one reads the interrupt status register to learn what was the interrupt reason, and writes it back to the same register in order to clear the interrupts. 

After fixing that code it turned out that the communication was still unsuccessful. Apparently the USB device was not understanding the host for some reason. That should not happen since the request sent was one of the standard ones implemented by virtually anything with an USB connector, assumed that Poseidon clears the data caches before forwarding the work to the USB drivers but that's the responsibility of the driver itself. 

The USB device responded and acknowledged the transmission! But why were all the request sent after address change failing with timeout? They should not. Once again, address set is supported just by anything. Tried to contact the device at address 0 once again and there it was, still responding properly. The enlightenment came. The bus address for DMA transmissions was, as it is in many bare metal USB implementations, just the pure memory address of the buffer as seen by the ARM cpu. Have &quot;prefixed&quot; it with the real location of uncached RAM and booted AROS once again.

What are these things? The first one is USB hub built in the Raspberry. Thanks to this one the Pi machines (with exception of Pi0 and computing modules) have more than just one single USB port. The second one is the network chip in raspberry, the third one is my USB SD card reader which have just connected to see what happens. AROS tried, of course, to boot from it ;)

So, the first step towards working USB is done. The control transfers are working as you can see above. Next step is to implement bulk and interrupt transfers, having the basics in place. Finally some error handling will be added and USB for Pi will be as complete as the PC version.

The Model B+ added an additional voltage regulator for the audio output and an additional output driver to drive low-resistance loads like headphones. However it is still using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which has a major impact on sound quality

the old Raspberry Pi used a linear voltage regulator to provide the 3.3V to many of the components on the board while the new one uses a switching regulator. Both can perform reasonably well. However switch mode power supplies often show higher noise figures

GPIO shouldn't be too bad but bear in mind it is already accessed in places so they would need to allocate pins etc through it (e.g. sdcard to flicker the activity light, serial debug to output data on the GPIO pins)

Probably a resource rather than a device...

Started an i2c driver that will need to allocate GPIO pins. Feel free to work on it if you are interested ;p

The status of AROS native for RasPi was OK. System booting, USB working (although with some issues but plan to fix them). Got stuck on modifying the ABI (application binary interface) and adjusting binutils/gcc to support it wanted to have real executable files but got stuck a little. This change for the type of relocations embedded in ARM files and not sure if this very type is well supported, on the other hand without this change ARM version of AROS wouldn't work well. By reverting the change to ABI we could have a (somehow) working AROS on RasPi, but unfortunately still unstable.

# download/checkout the source someplace, e.g. /build/AROS-Src/
# make a directory to store external sources AROS downloads, e.g. /build/Ports
# make a build directory, e.g. /build/aros-raspi-armhf
# cd into the build dir, configure, and then run make -:

&lt;pre&gt;
&gt;cd /build/aros-raspi-armhf
&gt;/build/AROS-Src/configure --target=raspberrypi-armhf --with-serial-debug --enable-ccache --with-portssources=/build/Ports
&gt;make
&gt;make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

then copy the files from /build/aros-raspi-armhf/bin/raspi-armhf/AROS/ onto an sdcard, and download/copy the Raspi firmware files onto it.

You should then be able to boot the sdcard on your RasPi.

The current W.I.P tree to svn. it can be built as follows ..
&lt;pre&gt;
./configure --target=raspi-armhf
make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

That will generate arosraspi.img, arosraspi.rom and config.txt in bin/raspi-arm/AROS - so either copy just those files to a fat formatted SD card (with the firmware files on), or copy the whole contents of the AROS folder.

NB - if you have a Linux/other install, backup the existing config.txt first

arosraspi.img contains the bootstrap (which has very basic mailbox code, framebuffer/gpio init, and console &quot;emulation&quot; via code pinched from our libbootconsole), kernel.resource, and exec.library

arosraspi.rom contains all the other components needed to boot AROS.

The config.txt file will tell the RasPI bootstrap to load our arosraspi kernel and ramdisk (rom).

the bootstrap has minimal mailbox code, planning on adding either a resource or library that driver/app code will use to access it (likewise for GPIO)

Ubuntu VM approach to compiling [http://lallafa.de/blog/2013/06/building-aros-hosted-for-raspbian/ Linux hosted AROS June 04, 2013]

 ../AROS/configure --target=linux-armhf  --enable-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-libraries=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib

arm-elf- is symbol-linked to arm-linux-gnueabi- (arm-linux-gnueabi- is more correct in this case, because it's going to be compiling the ARM AROSBootstrap for ARM Linux)

*armel - many of the &quot;android&quot; machines require since the entire OS is made for soft float VFP. 
*armfp - Efika MX target, Raspberry PI, EfikaMX, Pandora and virtually everything (VFP)

Keep in mind it's possible to start hardfp AROS hosted on softfp system, though, as long as no calls between AROS and host require floating point parameters. NOTE: hardfloat objects *cannot* be linked with softfloat objects - they have a different ABI.

Just keep in mind the arm nightly build machine is quite complex beast. It needs the x86_64 host compiler to compile AROS tools. The arm version is built every night using gcc-4.6.2 crosscompiler (built together with AROS) and successfully builds armel and armhf linux hosted targets.

*needs an AROS code compiler for ARM target 
*as well as unix compiler for ARM linux host (would be best to have both softfp and armhf, we have softfp only now) with full set of libraries and includes.

with—disable-crosstools  $AROS_CC  is always a wrapper around $KERNEL_CC  ?  If  so,  this  is  wrong for some ports. This can break Darwin, Windows and Android port. 
Yes,  Android  port  will  build.  And  even  work. But it's not good because  the  port  will  not  be ABI-compatible with other ARM ports. Android's ABI is different from GNUEABI. For example:

&lt;pre&gt;
enum test {foo, bar};
enum test testvar;
&lt;/pre&gt;

siseof(testvar)  will  be  equal  to sizeof(int) in GNUEABI (Linux and AROS)  and  sizeof(short)  on  Android. This affects linking objects from static linklibs, for example.

Previously everything worked because $AROS_CC was a wrapper on top of $HOST_CC. And a real crosscompiler was used on non-ELF hosts.

Android is the same. $KERNEL_CC is incompatible with AROS.

compiler=kernel  is  appropriate _ONLY FOR CODE WHICH RUNS ON HOST OS_ (or  barebone  hardware,  if  we  talk  about  native).  This includes bootstraps,  their  linklibs, and host-side dynamic libraries (Windows makes extensive use of them because of architectural considerations.

No single AROS object should be compiled with this setting. $KERNEL_CC is really compatible with AROS *ONLY IN LINUX-HOSTED* and no more. On other systems (Darwin, Windows,  Android) this is not true any more, and compiler=kernel is never going to work.

If  you  want  to  compile your AROS module against host OS includes, append  the  following  to  USER_INCLUDES  (or  USER_CFLAGS,  this  is effectively the same):

 -isystem $(GENINCDIR) $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) expands to:

 -isystem  &lt;your_os_includes&gt;  -isystem  &lt;host_OS_gcc_private_includes&gt;
 -nostdinc

This makes AROS compiler adhering to host OS APIs.

If you want some preprocessor symbols based on what your host OS actually is, add something like -DHOST_OS_$(AROS_HOST_ARCH).

Why is there $(GENINCDIR) at all? Because host OS has its own libc includes, which would conflict with AROS ones. And the host OS libc is not binary-compatible with AROS one.

Why doesn't Windows-hosted port use $(KERNEL_INCLUDES) ? Because WinAPI includes conflict with AROS ones in fundamental typedefs, like WORD, BYTE and BOOL. It's almost impossible to deal with this in any other way than rewriting WinAPI definitions using AROS types.

Building under centos 6.3 (i386) currently, and AROS creates the toolchain itself. haven't yet committed the necessary changes but &quot;./configure --target=raspi-armhf&quot; is enough to start, then &quot;make arosboot-raspi&quot; will generate arosraspi.img (containing the bootstrap, kernel.resource, and exec.library) as well as arosraspi.rom (containing all the other essentials components such as dos, graphics etc).  It will also copy over a config.txt file to make the raspi bootstrap code load the correct kernel, and a cmdline.txt that enables exec debug output.

=== Core Kernel ===

the reason behind INTB_KERNEL is to allow use of the standard Exec function AddIntServer() to add interrupt handlers for
hardware drivers etc. AmigaOS never used it for abstract hardware drivers. AmigaOS  routed  only  raw  hardware IRQs there. Their assignment was hardcoded. As well as number of them. Actually on AmigaOS every bus has its own interrupt subsystem. For example PCI bus. PCI interrupts on Amiga are routed to a single exec interrupt.  1:1 relationship between CPU  and hardware interrupts is present only on PC.

IMHO we miss things like AddInterrupt/RemInterrupt methods on our PCI subsystem's device class.  PCI bus class should map these methods to whatever is appropriate. This is how it is done on AmigaOS and friends. When these are implemented, raw kernel.resource API will be needed only for several PC-specific drivers with hardwired resources. Exec IRQs are real IRQs only on Amiga hardware. On other machines they can be emulated where appropriate (VBlank is a good example). kernel.resource is meant  to be different, its IRQs are hardware-agnostic, they are plain &quot;Hardware IRQ number X, whatever this means&quot;. They are low-level actually, and meaningful only in the context of a particular system.

Was that not the transition from irq.hidd to kernel.resource? No.  A long time ago there was another hacky bit named INTB_TIMERTICK. It was &quot;abstract timer interrupt&quot;, used by timer.device. It was the same as VBlank, but with larger frequency. I removed it, because kernel.resource API was a cleaner way to access this interrupt. Furthermore, there can be more than one timer in the system. I am even thinking about bringing back timer HIDD definitions again. hpet.resource is a bad idea.

Can someone please enlighten me a little on how the scheduler is meant to work?
 
Poseidon.library creates its &quot;Poseidon Event Task&quot; during RTF_COLDSTART -&gt; then calls Wait(), and ends up in limbo because wait disables interrupts (used for the scheduler heartbeat), and basically waits forever because the sigbit is never set, since krnSwitch doesn't switch the task unless TF_SWITCH is set, and no codepath run during this seems to set it?? TF_SWITCH does not disable/enable switching. This flag just enables to run user-supplied hook when the task is being switched away. It is completely safe to call Wait() in Disable()d state. Doing this actually temporarily breaks this state. IDNestCnt gets remembered in struct Task, then next task is selected, and its IDNestCnt is restored in sysbase (see kernel_scheduler.c). If there are no other tasks, then your cpu_Dispatch() should enable interrupts on the CPU and enter idle mode. See x86 implementation for good example.

You miss what happens next...
 1. KrnSwitch() saves context of your task, saves IDNestCnt (core_Switch() and cpu_Switch()), then drops into cpu_Dispatch().
 2. cpu_Dispatch() calls core_Dispatch. Then two cases are possible:
 2a. There is a READY task. It is picked up, its IDNestCnt is restored in SysBase, then cpu_Dispatch() needs to restore registers and exit. The next task is run.
 2b. There are no READY tasks. core_Dispatch() returns NULL. In this case your cpu_Dispatch() should enter idle loop. It should just enable interrupts on the CPU and put it on halt. This allows it to process hardware interrupts. Eventually some of your interrupt handlers wakes up your task and puts it into READY list.

My heartbeat interrupt has been slowed atm to help debugging - but it never actually gets a chance to fire because of the Wait() disabling interrupts. Perhaps you have forgotten to enable interrupts in your idle loop.

There is a change in the format of AROS executables. Until now we were using Elf RELocable files which are usually used as intermediate object files. We had them for various reasons, one of them was how AROS files were built in the past. That days we had no real aros cross compiler and the option to embed relocation data in unix executables (or in executable files in general) was rather new and not every linux/unix system had it. Therefore we have decided to use intermediate files. Although it was somehow working (and it is still working :-)), it has some drawbacks. Therefore decided to introduce real Elf EXEC types, in first turn implemented on ARM target with option to expand in future to all other AROS architectures.

The first patch was pretty easy and appeared to work somehow. It generated nice executables with embedded relocation info. Not only that, it also removed all global symbols adjusting relocation data to be relative to the beginning of the sections. That move reduced number of symbols in each executable significantly (depending on the file between 20 and 80% of all symbols could be removed). The only symbols that stayed in the file are local ones - due to the nature of the patch wasn't able to remove them since we have not seen them in the symbol hash table.

The patch didn't worked though. The files were relocated, AROS kernel loaded, but it crashed very early. What happened? Well, the nature of ARM relocations happened :)

Most of the relocation data on all machines is rather simple. Relocation can be absolute or pc-relative, sometimes the offset has to be bit shifted. On ARM v7 there is another one. There, when one wants to load an address of function/variable into register a combination of two instructions can be used: movw and movt. The first one loads immediate into lower 16 bits of a register while clearing upper 16 bits. The second one loads immediate into upper 16 bits without touching lower halfword. Loading of a pointer into a register looks like this:

        movw r0, #:lower16:label

        movt   r0, #:upper16:label

In this case there are two relocations - one for lower halfword and another for upper. If an overflow of lower 16 bits occurs during relocation process, the upper one should be updated as well. Unfortunately with current patch and with typical ARM executables there is not enough information to perform the calculations.

There are two options - the first one would be to give up and go back to &quot;fake&quot; executables, another one would be to change from REL to RELA relocation info. The latter contains an addend, extra data which can be used to perform all the relocation calculations I need.

Decided for the second option. The patch is already in the works. There is another function for the binutils' bfd backend to perform the final relocation. There can decide what to do with every reloc info, modify data and eventually strip some symbols. An advantage is - at this stage of the linking process have also full access to all local symbols so can change all relocations section relative and eventually strip all symbols from the files. 

=== GPU ===

Most of start.elf runs on the GPU.   Placing ALL the userland GPU code in the videocore.hidd isn't going to be a terribly big problem because the code they published is nothing more than a shim that sends data straight to the GPU to execute.

The good news about this is that we only need to write our HIDD using the OpenVG API.   The shim is relatively small codewise and lives in the ARM memory (the actual OpenVG code itself lives in the GPU RAM area and its loaded from start.elf).   That's also the bad news.  Our driver has to translate AROS video calls to OpenVG calls, for most tasks it should be easy, for some, not so much.  It's still probably less difficult and less work, than controlling the GPU directly.

The other good news is that anything done through OpenVG happens on the GPU, its truly accelerated.   It also has some nice font functions, meaning we can lead into an accelerated text mode later.

Basically, AROS resets or locks up when it tries to use AROS_ATOMIC_INC or DEC.  If I comment out the byte/word operations in the header files and use non-atomic operations, the code works as expected.
 
have read that the L1 cache needs to be enabled to use LDREX and co (which I also read is only meant to be used on multi processor systems with shared memory) - however I am certain this is correctly enabled.

If you are using LREX or STREX, you should have L1 cache enabled, at least on the ARM CPU I work with at work.

L1 cache is enabled by enabling the MMU *AND* setting the C and I bits in the CPU - the C bit is ignored, and the I bit only covers the 16 byte instruction pipeline if the MMU is not enabled.

Can you verify that your assembly is generating LDREX/STREX? From the behavior, it almost sounds like its generating the default Semaphore locked atomics.
 Impossible. There are no semaphore-locked atomics. There are Disable()/Enable()-based ones instead. And there's a special #define AROS_NO_ATOMIC_OPERATIONS in this case, which tweaks Disable()/Enable() implementations not to recurse forever.
 I have tested this on ARMv5 which does not have ldrex/strex, it works fine. On those ARMs there's no way to have real atomics. On other OSes (like Linux) this is done by introducing things like atomic_t, which appears to be a complex structure, holding the value together with accompanying spinlock (implemented using swp).

    #warning &quot;TODO: lookup optimal mmu table settings for raspi memory&quot;
        /* Set up an identity-mapping for all 4GB */
        for(x = 0; x &lt; 4096; x ++)
        {
            pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | (0x40002|0x80000|0x010000|0x00C00|0x04);
        }

Shouldn't there be a second loop that sets the 'C' bit in the descriptor for the RAM pages?

Currently, you have TEX=0, C=0, B=1 for all pages (Shared Device).

You should have TEX=0, C=1, B=0 for RAM (Write-Through, Cached)

    So ..
     
     pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | 2;

     
    should be enough?

No, for RAM you need to change the '| 0x40' to '| 0x80'

tell dosboot the correct defaults to use

Please don't do this. This bootconfig.c is a deprecated legacy thing. I wanted it to go away completely with time. Instead,  display  drivers  should auto-install themselves during own initialization phase. I. e. detect hardware=&gt;instantiate itself. This   should   make  things way simpler. With this approach you only need  to add the driver into KS image to get the device autobooted. No
hardcoded stuff. 
Currently  VESA  and  VGA drivers do this, look there for examples. never rewrote ATI driver because i don't have any test system for it.

they defined a smaller AROSCPUContext than the ExceptionContext - yet reference it as ExceptionContext in other places, and since it hasn't allocated enough storage for ExceptionContext, are corrupting memory/the structure (since the elements that are there don't map 1 to 1 with the exception context).

AFAIK, AROS has been moving in a different direction to this in recent
years. It is the job of graphics HIDDs to allocate bitmaps etc. so that
they have the most suitable characteristics, including allocating them
from GPU RAM where possible. The concept of chip RAM is only for legacy
code, and most if not all non-68k platforms should have all system RAM
marked as chip.

BTW, is the video processing code you mention CPU code or GPU code?

Also, IIRC we have support for &quot;external memory allocators&quot;. Perhaps that's what we need for the allocation of GPU RAM through the mailbox.

All hosted and x86 native ports should use proper context formats.

trying to clarify if the vblank handler has to have run by this point to prevent this deadlock. Actually, no. Unless you have installed VBlank handler which should wake up at some point. Without VBlank there will be no quantum count. Consequently, there will be no forced preemption. But the rest will work, and multitasking will be cooperative (switch happens only when current task voluntarily gives up the CPU). Does it depend on the vblank having run before this point? and if yes what does that mean on systems where it might be able to run enough code (e.g. get to this point) before the vblank interrupt has triggered? What is it waiting for? It could wait for timer, in this case you need timer.device working. VBlank is currently needed for exec's quantum counter. In current native ports we have only a single timer, which is served by timer.device. VBlank is simulated by timer.device also. If your machine has two timers, then you can use one of them for VBlank, and another for timer.device, this will simplify things down. VBlank needs to be 50 Hz for historical reasons, many programs use it as cheap timer. I am periodically thinking about making some abstract mechanism to be able to change quantum source (and untie it from 50 Hz), but have no time to come up with something good. Additionally i started disliking timer.device hardcoded design when PC has got many timers (old 8253, APIC, HPET).
Currently i think there should be some low-level entity representing tick source. timer.device should just select the most appropriate source for its units.
The BCM2835 has 4 GPU based timer sources - 2 are used by the GPU, so im using Timer3 for our heartbeat and the remaining one will be free to the system. There is also the less capable ARM timer but that is dependent on the CPU frequency. Very good. You won't need any emulation. Set the heartbeat to 50 Hz and drive VBlank from it. Use other timer for MicroHZ.

Can you use the 'econsole.hook' I make for debugging the Sam460 via the serial port?
It provides a before-anything-else shell prompt on the serial port.  You can then do 'NewCLI' to test your graphics, or use any DOS command in shellcommands.resource.

You should just be able to add econsole.hook to your module list, and use 'econsole' in your bootargs.

So long as you have a working Exec/RawMayGetChar and Exec/RawPutChar, it should work.

Also make sure to add shell.resource and shellcommands.resource for this.

That should have done it.

If you set &quot;#define DEBUG 1&quot; in  arch/all-native/econsole/econsole.c, do you get any additional serial output?

have added it to the build and added econsole to the command line - and can see the bootloader picks up on the emergency bootconsole tag, but I still only get the insert bootable media display?

Im assuming it exposes a fake filesystem that tricks aros into booting?
The contents of which are: ECON:AROS.boot

Way to handle the scheduling code? The implementations I had been following were causing problems, due to cascading interrupts which I cant handle properly in the asm stubs just now (when they break disable etc.) - since it means detecting the interrupted codes cpu mode and getting the correct sp/lr for it, and that's just too tedious for arm.
 
To work around this ive added a system idle task which does nothing - and when the scheduling code has no task to run switches this in and lets it run, thereby allowing the interrupts etc to resume until something does need to happen.
 
Also, by adding accounting code to cpu_Switch() and cpu_Dispatch(), it should allow the system to log idle time correctly (as well as running tasks).
 
have thought of also adding an additional task that never runs, solely to record time spent in IRQ handlers, but I digress..

was under the impression that kernel.resource should *never* be used outside of exec.library. This is a wrong impression.
Michal started designing it because portable nature of AROS does not fit well into exec's API with all its assumptions. So, he started the new, hardware-agnostic kernel API from scratch. Yes, exec sits on top of it in places. But kernel always meant to be open thing. Otherwise it would not exist. 
it wasn't meant to be just used willy nilly by user code - but by lower system components (e.g. exec) so that they could be implemented in a more generic fashion, and the kernel resource itself hide the systems quirks.

Adding new things there perfectly keeps up with our decision to minimize AROS-specific intervention into APIs which can clash with MorphOS/OS4 extensions. We want at least source-level compatibility there. Binary compatibility on PPC would be extremely cool, but at the other hand we have no maintainer for this, as well as their ABIs are a bit weird and far from optimal, especially MorphOS one, because it aims for m68k binary compatibility.
It depends on what exactly is being implemented - there's no reason we should have everything crammed into kernel.resource if it doesn't need to be (i.e. if its better suited as a separate component/subsystem in its own right)

The _LE versions are for when you have endian swapping taking place.  If the graphics are the same endian as the CPU, no swapping should occur.  I ran into a similar terminology problem in SDL with a friend insisting that his Radeon 7000 on his PC was big-endian.  It is not, it just uses the same endianness for the graphics card and the CPU so no swapping was necessary.  They were both little-endian.
The _LE versions are because the PixFmts refer to the bitmap data being in big endian format in memory, for which the normal version would need to do endianness conversion before applying the shifts/masks. on this platform it is in _LE in memory also so we don't need the conversion hence using the _LE version of the call). would use _LE (if it's really little endian 16 bit mode).

 
What is the bare minimum needed to implement a framebuffer based gfx driver, with our software handling the rest?
 
I have tried with just a gfx class that only expose new/dispose/newbitmap - and having an onscreenbitmap used only for the framebuffer itself (with all other bitmaps being chunkybm, and the framebuffer's superclass also being chunkybm), but that alone isn't enough it seems?
You can use workbench/hidds/sm502/ as your example - it is as simple as I could make it.
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

I so far have -:
 
vc_init: queries the gpus memory, and sets up a fake memory handler for it, then adds the bootmode driver and  returns saying all is well
vc_gfxhidd:New: sets up some fake syncmodes to test with and creates the real gfx object.
vc_gfxhidd:NewBitmap: checks if its a framebuffer and uses the onbitmap class or uses the chunkybm class otherwise
vc_onbitmap:New; creates a chunkybm object and then pushes the real framebuffer address into it as the buffer,
 
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

The code I currently have on SVN seems to create the framebuffers bitmap object fine, but then crashes in intuitions DisplayDriver callback.  In particular it crashes performing the getattr on the system default pointer.
don't expose MEMF_CHIP in an allocatable form so AllocSpriteData was failing (and other code later doesn't check if the values are valid == illegal memory accesses)

Actually MEMF_CHIP has to present, for historical reasons.
This has been never fully agreed upon, but in ports i wrote i exposed the whole memory as MEMF_CHIP. The idea behind this is that CHIP is originally the memory where graphics and sound data can be put. On non-Amiga platforms there are no restrictions on this, so the whole memory is CHIP.
Yes, many old software can misbehave with CHIP memory size larger than 2MB. But this actually applies only to m68k AROS which is going to run m68k binaries. In other cases it's quite logical to fix the program when porting.

As to original question: yes, it's enough to have a framebuffer bitmap (one with aoHidd_BitMap_FrameBuffer set to TRUE) and PutPixel routine. It framebuffer can be served by chunky bitmap class, then you can simply create chunky bitmap with your own buffer (see how VESA driver does this). Chunky PutPixel is already there.

struggling to determine what is the correct pixfmt to use for the 24/16/15 bit gfx modes on the RasPi.  AFAIK it uses RGB565, for 16bit but im unsure what shifts etc should go with it? suffice to say Im getting the wrong colors so far lol.

&lt;pre&gt;
redmask: 0x0000F800
greenmask: 0x000007E0
bluemask: 0x0000001F
alphamask: 0

redshift: 16
greenshift: 21
blueshift: 27
alphashift: 0
&lt;/pre&gt;

It should likely be vHidd_StdPixFmt_RGB16_LE

This stuff is a bit confusing.  The &quot;names&quot; of the stdpixfmts are based on the layout in memory,
ignoring endianess. So for example:

ARGB32: will be 0xAA 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB in memory on both big endian and little endian machines.

The shifts and masks OTOH are based on pixel access (ULONG in this case), so differ depending
on whether you run on big endian machine or little endian machine (that's why there's stdpixfmt_le.h and
stdpixfmt_be.h in rom/hidds/graphics/).

With the 16 bit pixel format it's even more confusing, as for example it's impossible on little endian machine
to describe RGB16 with shifts/masks alone. That's why there's vHidd_PixFmt_SwapPixelBytes_Flag.
(RGB16 == RRRRRGGG GGGBBBBB in memory, and for pixel (WORD) access on little endian machine it needs to
be accessed as GGGBBBBBRRRRRGGGG).

The shifts btw indicate how much to shift the component to the left (!) so that it is moved to the highest bit (31).

The aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you specify will be ignored most of the time, because when the pixelfmt is registered,
the gfx hidd checks if there's an identical pixfmt (shifts/masks/etc., but ignoring pixfmt-&gt;stdpixfmt) already in the system,
and if so, it uses the already existing one and does not create a new one.

In theory it would be better if gfx drivers could simply/only specify a StdPixFmt without all the shifts/masks stuff when the
gfx driver uses pixfmt which matches one of the stdpixfmts exactly. Another possibility would be for gfx drivers to use
HIDD_Gfx_GetPIxFmt(stdpixfmt_gfx_driver_wants_to_use) and then peek shifts/masks from it and fill out a pixfmt
tag list based on that.
15bit very blue/green: Try to pass same shifts/masks/etc. as in 16 bit pixfmt (maybe you think it's using 15 bit R5G5B5
(or swapped) but it's actually still using 16 bit R5G6B5 (or swapped).
 aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you pass is mostly ignored. It's the shift/masks/etc. that count.
But I would still pass the correct one (_LE) == whatever rom/hidds/graphics/stdpixfmts_??.h uses
in the entry where you have looked up shifts/masks/etc.

Use the shifts/masks/etc. from the entry in stdpixfmt_le.h (if you are running on little endian machine) or stdpixfmt_be.h (if you
are running on little endian machine) that matches the pixfmt that its meant to be.

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

it feels like AROS trashes the alpha component, otherwise it should be 8A8R8G8B.

read on the subject suggest its in 1x5r5g5b (x is ignored) to keep 16bit alignment .
 
What I see on screen suggests to me that wrong shift/mask are being applied - however going by the 16bit versions it all looks correct to me so I am really confused as to what is happening.
 
The output image looks to have too much green/blue, and very weak red.

Why did usbromstartup become HW-specific ?
In  the  past i have done a big job separating kickstart into several parts. I have never got any responses, so i re-describe my idea.

For now it loads the hs otg chipset driver ..

The  idea  is  to minimize amount of archirecture-specific modules to
    make   user's  life  easier.  So,  the kickstart was split into 'base'
    (which  does  not  contain anything machine-specific) and 'BSP' (Board
    Support Package) which contains all hardware-specific stuff.
     This  way,  for  example, distribution makers can save up space on CD
    and  make  CDs with multiple platform support. Different configuration
    would load the same base with different BSP's.
     Next  there  was some part which is entirely missing on hosted. These
    are   filesystems.  Hosted  ports  do  not need them to boot up, so on
    hosted   they  are  left  out.  At  the  other  hand,  they  are  also
    architecture-agnostic.  So  i put them into 'FS' package (standing for
    'filesystem').

     Poseidon  is  one  more  big part. I made it into separate package in
    order to allow users to omit it if they don't need it (for example, to
    run  on retro PCs without USB). Personally i have one. Again, Poseidon
    is  hardware-agnostic (well, there are USB drivers but HCIs are pretty
    standard).

It's mandatory on PI since there are no other interface types - so being a separate package is irrelevant/pointless.

Is Raspberry's USB controller non-HCI compliant? Actually i expect it to be compliant, then wouldn't it be better to make existing drivers discovering them? 
 
AFAIK its HCI 1.0 compliant but I'm not familiar enough with poseidons drivers, nor USB, to just hack away at the existing code.  Perhaps once i'm more familiar with the workings I can merge in the changes needed to get it operating but for now I will focus on getting it running.  Also our drivers have known issues so perhaps a fresh set of eyes might shed some light on what is going wrong.

Another interesting question is whether Poseidon can operate on device side. Is it flexible enough? How similar is being a USB host and USB device? think it will need a bit of work on Poseidon's side.  Until then I will force the driver into Host/Master mode in the init code, but leave open device etc to configure the chipset for either's use - and look at trying to add support for working in Device/Slave mode &amp; switching modes once it's up and running.

Actually USBROMStartup is some kind of kludge. Can there be any alternative? Could device drivers be self-installing, like our HIDDs? This would get rid of need to list them in USBRomStartup.

And there is one more thing about modular ports. In order to actually implement this, your bootstrapping environment should provide the ability to load several files. On PC this is provided by GRUB2. on CHRP you can read filesystem via OpenFirmware, and Sam's Parthenope relies on modified u-boot. If your bootstrap allows to load only a single file, then you stuck with monolithic kickstart. By the way...  u-boot allows not only to boot up a single uImage or zImage, it also allows to write client programs AFAIK. With this approach, you actually can write modular bootstrap for ARM AROS using unmodified u-boot.

Will raspberrypi ARM programs run on other ARM archs and vice-versa ? If not I would like to use different cpu names for 
archs which are incompatible. 
All code compiled for at most armv6 with softfp float abi will work on all softfp ARM targets, including raspberry. 
Code compiled for hard-float ABI will not work on any softfp target. But then, hard-float abi uses -armhf- cpu name.

hdmi issues

Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there.

You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal.

If the display is a computer monitor or newer tv, use hdmi_group=1 (auto HDMI use) and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2 (for DMT formats, i.e. for PC monitors) then you HAVE to &quot;set hdmi_drive = 2 to enable HDMI output as this forces HDMI mode rather than DVI mode

Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options.

Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1 A and not 500 mA.
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost

Boot it as you are doing, without HDMI. If you now plug in the HDMI, do you get the image? In other words, does the Pi think HDMI is connected even when it isn't?

the hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1 option sems relevant as it should tell ALSA that the only available audio is analog, no matter what the display says

There are several different ways that these 4 pole (ring) composite analog cables can be wired up, so some work great in some applications and can be a waste of time in others.

What is needed for the Raspberry Pi B+ and above, which like many camcorders needs the ring contact next to the base contact to be the ground.

The wiring for the 4 pole are:

TIP (LEFT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 1 (RIGHT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 2 (GROUND/EARTH)

RING 3 BASE/SLEEVE (VIDEO) YELLOW

Most Apple based Players and the Microsoft Zune (TM) are wired this way.

Most analogue camcorders are wired this way as well, where the ground in on Ring 2 will work with the Pi although you may need to swap your Video plug with the Right Audio plug.

Nearly all other MP3 players are not wired this way, the ground is on another ring ie the wrong one.

N.B.  dreaded error after changing cameras (stupidly without turning off the power first) and lasted through several power cycles.  It can be a bad 15-pin FFC ribbon cable, when swapped, camera(s) and the Pi itself are working OK. It can be an instance of a cold solder joint on the CSI connector on the pi board.  the camera can be detected (that's done via I2C) but may still not be able to receive image data (done via CSI-2) if something is broken. CSI-2 is uni-directional. Control is generally done via I2C. 
The CSI-2 receiver always writes to memory, not direct to the ISP. That's the way the Broadcom architecture works as it allows multipass processing easily. GPU memory is accessible from the ARM. Processing using the QPU graphics processors may be possible.  currently the only supported sensor is OV5647 and IMX219.  The linux drivers are all in the firmware blob, else you'd  be looking at at least a man-month of work in a fully fledged imaging lab to do a decent tuning of the camera modules' ISP parameters. 
Static electricity maybe an issue for the camera module and slightly less for the pi board.

Help building AROS hosted on Linux ARM

I was looking a way to use more my Handheld ARM based called Pyra (Dragonbox Pyra) an ARM (Omap5 cpu with 4GB ram) linux based machine (Debian Buster v10 with kernel 5.6.19 adapted) and have a try to compile the latest Aros sources by Deadwood directly on this device.
Compilation stops after build libpopupmenu.a and trying to build libatomic have this error:

&lt;/pre&gt;


looking at config.log on arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/host/tools/crosstools/gnu/gcc/arm-aros/libatomic

i found that arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf/arm-aros-ld: cannot find -laeabi
so i do make linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick
and the missing lib was built.

now the next stop is at
fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
and
fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
in many places so after checking that i have this missing include files i have noted that my include path is a bit different, standard searching path is /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf but in my system is /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
so if i add my path to some mmakefiles compilation goes on....but is a better way to add this path to avoid every mmakefiles to be changed?
i fixed with adding
-I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
to where is missing on mmakefiles like
USER_INCLUDES := -isystem $(GENINCDIR) -I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

P.s. I have changed many mmakefiles and have at least compiled (after many hours) the toolchain doing make every time in arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build (also have to disable making tests under cplusplus but don't remember the directory ...) but i ask an help to have an automated way to correctly build without modify mmakefiles.


Last time I built armhf target was around 2 years ago. At that point I built is via cross-compilation from linux (ubuntu 22.04) using linux armhf crosscompiler (this can explain the path differences you are experiencing) as well as using AROS gcc cross-compiler in version 6.5.0 (build with option 21) in rebuild.sh). Since then AROS GCC has been updated to 10.5.0 and I don't believe anyone tried to build the armhf target again.

My suggestion would be to downgrade GCC to 6.5.0 (via editing AROS/config/gcc_def file) and try to first build using cross-compilation from x86_64 linux. Once that works, you will have a &quot;template&quot; to compare to native compilation under arm linux.


Thanks for your suggestion...but i think the toolchain with GCC 10.5.0 is compilable if i found a way to pass the path of my system to the script that build (option 21 on rebuild).
The other only changes are (but i don't know where to modify...) is to add the build of libaeabi and disable the building of some tests under cplusplus that use exceptions and is not supported under ARM.
I'll try to crosscompile with my Linux amd64 PC.

For paths look into core-linux-armhf/bin/linux-armhf/gen/config/target.cfg. A number of build-wide variable is set there containing paths to local build system. These variables and the target.cfg file are generated by AROS ./configure script.

Thanks compilation now go forward...i changed target.cfg under &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/config&quot; and do make on &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build&quot; dir.

Now i need to find where to enable build libaeabi.a so i can build the entire toolchain with option 21 of rebuild.sh


I found something that looks like libeabi in AROS/arm-all/arm-aeabi/mmakefile.src. Try adding a third line there:

#MM- linklibs-armhd : libklibs-aeabi-arm

Though I don't remember needing this library. Possibly the 6.5.0 GCC somehow does this while 10.5.0 is missing this.


I try adding this line (and the variant &quot;linklibs-armhf&quot; instead of hd) but it did not solve the automatic building of the missing lib. I must do &quot;linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick&quot;.
Anyway after have build the aeabi lib i succefully built the toolchain (after many hours...). Smile

To test I restarted from selecting option 21 (on rebuild.sh) but after many hours i get the same error of the kernel includes not found...maybe i need to modify the configure script for my case.

With the toolchain built i try to build the core-linux-armhf (DEBUG) (option 22) but after a while it stopped with
&quot;cannot find -laeabi &quot; so i made it built manually...and now i can continue compiling...i'll let you know if all goes ok.

==Introduction==

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charity founded in May 2009 to promote the study of basic computer science in schools, and is responsible for developing a single-board computer called the Raspberry Pi.

The Foundation is supported by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and Broadcom. Its aim is to &quot;promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.&quot;

The original Raspberry Pi 1 Model B computer went on sale in February 2012 and set a new standard shattering the dominance of the PC in the home and education markets. Millions in the various formats, A, B, A+, B+ and Compute have since been shipped worldwide. The original concept of the Raspberry Pi was for a computer board providing Internet access with up to 1080p HD graphics at very low cost. The boards provide a platform for children and adults from any background to acquire computer science knowledge and help develop the future World-Wide-Web and all things internet (IOT hub and bridges out to home network to cloud of sensors).

Hobbyists and tech dabblers/tinkerers are the main purchases of the Pis (around half).

The rest of the sales are split between education/industrial. While the Raspberry Pi boards were designed primarily for education, they have become very popular with manufacturers of embedded systems. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has ensured backwards compatibility with each new revision. The bare-bones Compute module is aimed specifically at the OEM manufacturer.

==Implemented so far...==

# Modify the configure system so that it correctly builds for the arm hardware float raspi target.
# Implemented the bootstrap to load the aros modules and prepare the arm to jump into them. Reworked the x86 console support so that parts can be stolen for raspi to use since t has no basic functionality to output to the display.
# Implemented a kernel.resource to prepare the raspi for running aros and provide the low level api calls to expose available resources and allow exec, etc function.
# Implemented serial debug support
# Implemented the exec (and kernel) functionality required to make multitasking work (and interrupts, exceptions, syscalls, etc)
# Implemented a timer.device to utilise the hardware timers.
# Implemented a very basic gfx driver to expose the hardware's framebuffer.
# Implemented an SD-Card driver for AROS which presently only supports the raspi's chipset but can easily be modified to support all sd-card hardware and media.
# Fixed the fat filesystem support in AROS so that it can boot on RasPi's normal SD-Card setup. The &quot;rom&quot; image files needed use a different filename than the default linux, etc images so can be easily installed without harming the existing files - you only need to change the loaded images in the config file to get aros to boot.
# Updated the build scripts to automatically download the necessary raspi firmware files and wrap it all up so that you can simply extract the archive to a fat formatted sdcard and boot it on the raspi without having to get anything else.
# fix everything in contrib and ports to build for raspi (needs proper testing/fixes but allows every component to actually compile at least, including owb) + numerous other fixes to get things working on arm/raspi ..

===Boot up ===

On power-up, the rpi [http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/ BCM 2835] [https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv VideoCore4] GPU, not the ARM CPU, is in control, and the SD card slot is the only peripheral device with power. The firmware burned into the BCM2835's VideoCoreIV GPU PROM requires a DOS-style partition table; a FAT-formatted first partition; and the freely redistributable but closed sourced Broadcom files “bootcode.bin” and “start.elf” in that partition.

The boot sequence carries out several pre-boot tasks

*On powering of the rpi, the GPU reads and executes bootcode.bin, which then loads start.elf 
*The GPU loads the “start.elf” file, eventually, into the L2 cache and then executes it
*configures the memory split for the CPU and GPU
*reads and parses “config.txt” from the same partition on the SD card and applies the settings (like a PC’s BIOS settings)
*loads the “kernel.img” file, again from the same partition
*activates the CPU to begin executing the loaded kernel image

The CPU/GPU memory split is hard-coded into start.elf, so Broadcom provides three start.elf images, to give 32M, 64M, or 128M to the GPU for multimedia performance, and the remainder to the CPU.

RPi uses [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware some closed source loaders] and at some point it loads a binary blob named &quot;kernel.img&quot; at 0x8000, at that point there would be a rudimentary Aros alive. If one wants to use the SD-card then there would have to be a driver for the interface and a fat filesystem handler (SD-card has to be formatted to fat filesystem)

Boot code and kernel are now linked together and made into that binary blob, just for starters. Raspberry Pi uses [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot] and [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=138 UBoot] as bootloader, there's already some code in the Efika MX port for that. UBoot is a native bootloader and not just for the raspberry pi, it loads after start.elf.

You can find Efika MX port from arch implementations, some hacking is needed for the mmakefile.src'es as iit dates back to before the Aros crosstool era or else you get some weird errors while building. You also need to code the bootstrap and serial handling.

At the moment it seems that a fastest route for the native build would be to make one binary blob without using the package system. Raspberry's memory layout is pretty simple and if the implemented u-boot doesn't support loading other modules

===Framebuffer - basic display===

RasPi has to speak to the &quot;operating system&quot; which runs on the GPU itself and request/free memory - it cant directly manage it itself, and so the managed functions were used to wrap these calls.

The Arm and GPU share memory space. The framebuffer is shared. The Arm can write a pixel and it will appear on the screen (through GPU hardware) without flushing/copying being required.

The GPU can composite multiple FB's in real time - so you have a number of surfaces defined which are rotated etc and  composited in real time to the output. Copying can map from the address space of the Arm to the flat space of the GPU which takes some code, but I don't think whole buffers are copied.

The DMA hardware can also access the whole memory space and can perform 2D fills and blits (no blending). This is documented in the peripheral spec posted. The DMA is just an Arm accessible peripheral and can be set up with low latency (e.g. microseconds).
must use a 0xc0000000-based bus address to access SDRAM, yet non-DMA access should go via a 0x0-based bus address. 
For 2D dma, set TDMODE, and the spec says &quot;interpret the TXFR_LEN register as YLENGTH number of transfers each of XLENGTH, and add the strides to the address after each transfer.&quot; so set STRIDE to pitch of the image, the width is XLENGTH and height is YLENGTH. You would fill by not setting the SRC_INC and point source to your fill data.

The DMA cannot see the ARM's L1 cache, so you would map the framebuffer with ioremap_nocache. Depending on where the source data comes from, it may need an L1 cache flush. The DMA can see the L2 cache. Use 0xC0000000 bus addresses when L2 is disabled and 0x40000000 bus addresses when L2 is enabled. (actually just call virt_to_bus and you'll get the right address out).

openGLES/openVG has high latency. Writing to framebuffer then reading it back is very inefficient (e.g. milliseconds). If you can drive it a unidirectional way, just streaming commands at then that is efficient. openVG is not implemented on top of openGLES - it uses the same hardware but as a first class interface

To improve the Gfx driver, we will need a DMA resource implemented so can use to perform DMA operations. The Gfx driver will need this to perform blits.

===USB ===

* Model A and B limited to 150 mA per port. 
* Model B+ and Pi 2 introduced configurable 600 mA to 1.2 A support over all ports - anything above that requires a powered USB hub.

Implementing the hardware driver that Poseidon uses to interact with the USB components.

Have code in place to (try) and initialise the USB chipset, and configure host/device mode operation (though AFAICT Poseidon doesn't support device mode). Started to get the &quot;virtual&quot; root hub written for the single USB port so that Poseidon should at least list it correctly in the GUI - and try to interact with it to find peripherals.


The BCM2835 uses a soft IP block from Synopsys’ DesignWare library (DWC), specifically the block is called dwc_usb_2_0_hs_otg_subsystem-ahb_se (“USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG Controller Subsystem w/AHB Interface SE”).

There is no public documentation for this, and pretty much zero chance of anyone getting hold of it even with NDA. However, there's a Linux driver written by Synopsys ([https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux dwc_usb]). Specifically directories [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_common_port] and [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_otg].

The Synopsys code is actually under a fairly permissive licence – it's not GPL, it's similar to BSD (’don't sue us if it breaks’ is pretty much the only clause). So this should not be a barrier to porting the code.

The code is really well written, with a nice partition between the work done by the driver (dwc_otg, which is fairly involved, given the host does more work than a conventional EHCI driver), and the interface to Linux (dwc_common_port).

Probably only need provision of relevant changes to dwc_common_port. Other things to consider....

* Provision of necessary headers to get it to compile
* Provision of necessary functions (main issues are wait queues, threads, work queues, tasklets, timers, spinlocks and mutexes (multithreading) )
* Interfacing between USB stack and the driver. dwc_otg/dwc_otg_hcd_linux.c looks like the place to start.

the Linux bits of the headers are only required for the dwc_common_port library. dwc_common_port includes a variety of crypto functions which are not used – it appears to also be used for ultrawideband (UWB) and wireless USB (WUSB) drivers where crypto will be an issue, but it isn't going to be for plain wired USB.

Every USB driver acts as an USB hub as well in order to let Poseidon control the state of USB ports. The code there was reading status of the only USB port in Raspberry's CPU but when changing the status it erroneously deleted some of the status bits, including the port enable one. It was so because those bits in the status register are of a type Read/WriteToClear. It means, if one does not want to change their value from 1 back to 0, one has to actually write the 0 value. Very practical thing e.g. in interrupt handlers, where one reads the interrupt status register to learn what was the interrupt reason, and writes it back to the same register in order to clear the interrupts. 

After fixing that code it turned out that the communication was still unsuccessful. Apparently the USB device was not understanding the host for some reason. That should not happen since the request sent was one of the standard ones implemented by virtually anything with an USB connector, assumed that Poseidon clears the data caches before forwarding the work to the USB drivers but that's the responsibility of the driver itself. 

The USB device responded and acknowledged the transmission! But why were all the request sent after address change failing with timeout? They should not. Once again, address set is supported just by anything. Tried to contact the device at address 0 once again and there it was, still responding properly. The enlightenment came. The bus address for DMA transmissions was, as it is in many bare metal USB implementations, just the pure memory address of the buffer as seen by the ARM cpu. Have &quot;prefixed&quot; it with the real location of uncached RAM and booted AROS once again.

What are these things? The first one is USB hub built in the Raspberry. Thanks to this one the Pi machines (with exception of Pi0 and computing modules) have more than just one single USB port. The second one is the network chip in raspberry, the third one is my USB SD card reader which have just connected to see what happens. AROS tried, of course, to boot from it ;)

So, the first step towards working USB is done. The control transfers are working as you can see above. Next step is to implement bulk and interrupt transfers, having the basics in place. Finally some error handling will be added and USB for Pi will be as complete as the PC version.

===Audio ===

To follow...

[https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/sound/arm audio] and its [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/2 very high speed message passing interface type of thing VCHI]

The Model B+ added an additional voltage regulator for the audio output and an additional output driver to drive low-resistance loads like headphones. However it is still using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which has a major impact on sound quality

the old Raspberry Pi used a linear voltage regulator to provide the 3.3V to many of the components on the board while the new one uses a switching regulator. Both can perform reasonably well. However switch mode power supplies often show higher noise figures

Analogue audio

Audio over HDMI rev 1.3 &amp; 1.4

===Ethernet===

10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ45 socket

===GPIO ===

GPIO shouldn't be too bad but bear in mind it is already accessed in places so they would need to allocate pins etc through it (e.g. sdcard to flicker the activity light, serial debug to output data on the GPIO pins)

Probably a resource rather than a device...

Started an i2c driver that will need to allocate GPIO pins. Feel free to work on it if you are interested ;p

The status of AROS native for RasPi was OK. System booting, USB working (although with some issues but plan to fix them). Got stuck on modifying the ABI (application binary interface) and adjusting binutils/gcc to support it wanted to have real executable files but got stuck a little. This change for the type of relocations embedded in ARM files and not sure if this very type is well supported, on the other hand without this change ARM version of AROS wouldn't work well. By reverting the change to ABI we could have a (somehow) working AROS on RasPi, but unfortunately still unstable. 

Old native [http://www.aros.org/nightly1.html ARMv6 32bit nightlys] and 
[http://www.aros.org/snapshots1.html old linux and android hosted] 


# download/checkout the source someplace, e.g. /build/AROS-Src/
# make a directory to store external sources AROS downloads, e.g. /build/Ports
# make a build directory, e.g. /build/aros-raspi-armhf
# cd into the build dir, configure, and then run make -:

&lt;pre&gt;
&gt;cd /build/aros-raspi-armhf
&gt;/build/AROS-Src/configure --target=raspberrypi-armhf --with-serial-debug --enable-ccache --with-portssources=/build/Ports
&gt;make
&gt;make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

then copy the files from /build/aros-raspi-armhf/bin/raspi-armhf/AROS/ onto an sdcard, and download/copy the Raspi firmware files onto it.

You should then be able to boot the sdcard on your RasPi.

The current W.I.P tree to svn. it can be built as follows ..
&lt;pre&gt;
./configure --target=raspi-armhf
make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

That will generate arosraspi.img, arosraspi.rom and config.txt in bin/raspi-arm/AROS - so either copy just those files to a fat formatted SD card (with the firmware files on), or copy the whole contents of the AROS folder.

NB - if you have a Linux/other install, backup the existing config.txt first

arosraspi.img contains the bootstrap (which has very basic mailbox code, framebuffer/gpio init, and console &quot;emulation&quot; via code pinched from our libbootconsole), kernel.resource, and exec.library

arosraspi.rom contains all the other components needed to boot AROS.

The config.txt file will tell the RasPI bootstrap to load our arosraspi kernel and ramdisk (rom).

the bootstrap has minimal mailbox code, planning on adding either a resource or library that driver/app code will use to access it (likewise for GPIO)

==== Hosted ====

Ubuntu VM approach to compiling [http://lallafa.de/blog/2013/06/building-aros-hosted-for-raspbian/ Linux hosted AROS June 04, 2013]

 ../AROS/configure --target=linux-armhf  --enable-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-libraries=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib

arm-elf- is symbol-linked to arm-linux-gnueabi- (arm-linux-gnueabi- is more correct in this case, because it's going to be compiling the ARM AROSBootstrap for ARM Linux)

*armel - many of the &quot;android&quot; machines require since the entire OS is made for soft float VFP. 
*armfp - Efika MX target, Raspberry PI, EfikaMX, Pandora and virtually everything (VFP)

Keep in mind it's possible to start hardfp AROS hosted on softfp system, though, as long as no calls between AROS and host require floating point parameters. NOTE: hardfloat objects *cannot* be linked with softfloat objects - they have a different ABI.

Just keep in mind the arm nightly build machine is quite complex beast. It needs the x86_64 host compiler to compile AROS tools. The arm version is built every night using gcc-4.6.2 crosscompiler (built together with AROS) and successfully builds armel and armhf linux hosted targets.

*needs an AROS code compiler for ARM target 
*as well as unix compiler for ARM linux host (would be best to have both softfp and armhf, we have softfp only now) with full set of libraries and includes.

with—disable-crosstools  $AROS_CC  is always a wrapper around $KERNEL_CC  ?  If  so,  this  is  wrong for some ports. This can break Darwin, Windows and Android port. 
Yes,  Android  port  will  build.  And  even  work. But it's not good because  the  port  will  not  be ABI-compatible with other ARM ports. Android's ABI is different from GNUEABI. For example:

&lt;pre&gt;
enum test {foo, bar};
enum test testvar;
&lt;/pre&gt;

siseof(testvar)  will  be  equal  to sizeof(int) in GNUEABI (Linux and AROS)  and  sizeof(short)  on  Android. This affects linking objects from static linklibs, for example.

Previously everything worked because $AROS_CC was a wrapper on top of $HOST_CC. And a real crosscompiler was used on non-ELF hosts.

Android is the same. $KERNEL_CC is incompatible with AROS.

compiler=kernel  is  appropriate _ONLY FOR CODE WHICH RUNS ON HOST OS_ (or  barebone  hardware,  if  we  talk  about  native).  This includes bootstraps,  their  linklibs, and host-side dynamic libraries (Windows makes extensive use of them because of architectural considerations.

No single AROS object should be compiled with this setting. $KERNEL_CC is really compatible with AROS *ONLY IN LINUX-HOSTED* and no more. On other systems (Darwin, Windows,  Android) this is not true any more, and compiler=kernel is never going to work.

If  you  want  to  compile your AROS module against host OS includes, append  the  following  to  USER_INCLUDES  (or  USER_CFLAGS,  this  is effectively the same):

 -isystem $(GENINCDIR) $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) expands to:

 -isystem  &lt;your_os_includes&gt;  -isystem  &lt;host_OS_gcc_private_includes&gt;

This makes AROS compiler adhering to host OS APIs.

If you want some preprocessor symbols based on what your host OS actually is, add something like -DHOST_OS_$(AROS_HOST_ARCH).

Why is there $(GENINCDIR) at all? Because host OS has its own libc includes, which would conflict with AROS ones. And the host OS libc is not binary-compatible with AROS one.

Why doesn't Windows-hosted port use $(KERNEL_INCLUDES) ? Because WinAPI includes conflict with AROS ones in fundamental typedefs, like WORD, BYTE and BOOL. It's almost impossible to deal with this in any other way than rewriting WinAPI definitions using AROS types.

Building under centos 6.3 (i386) currently, and AROS creates the toolchain itself. haven't yet committed the necessary changes but &quot;./configure --target=raspi-armhf&quot; is enough to start, then &quot;make arosboot-raspi&quot; will generate arosraspi.img (containing the bootstrap, kernel.resource, and exec.library) as well as arosraspi.rom (containing all the other essentials components such as dos, graphics etc).  It will also copy over a config.txt file to make the raspi bootstrap code load the correct kernel, and a cmdline.txt that enables exec debug output.

=== Core Kernel ===

the reason behind INTB_KERNEL is to allow use of the standard Exec function AddIntServer() to add interrupt handlers for
hardware drivers etc. AmigaOS never used it for abstract hardware drivers. AmigaOS  routed  only  raw  hardware IRQs there. Their assignment was hardcoded. As well as number of them. Actually on AmigaOS every bus has its own interrupt subsystem. For example PCI bus. PCI interrupts on Amiga are routed to a single exec interrupt.  1:1 relationship between CPU  and hardware interrupts is present only on PC.

IMHO we miss things like AddInterrupt/RemInterrupt methods on our PCI subsystem's device class.  PCI bus class should map these methods to whatever is appropriate. This is how it is done on AmigaOS and friends. When these are implemented, raw kernel.resource API will be needed only for several PC-specific drivers with hardwired resources. Exec IRQs are real IRQs only on Amiga hardware. On other machines they can be emulated where appropriate (VBlank is a good example). kernel.resource is meant  to be different, its IRQs are hardware-agnostic, they are plain &quot;Hardware IRQ number X, whatever this means&quot;. They are low-level actually, and meaningful only in the context of a particular system.

Was that not the transition from irq.hidd to kernel.resource? No.  A long time ago there was another hacky bit named INTB_TIMERTICK. It was &quot;abstract timer interrupt&quot;, used by timer.device. It was the same as VBlank, but with larger frequency. I removed it, because kernel.resource API was a cleaner way to access this interrupt. Furthermore, there can be more than one timer in the system. I am even thinking about bringing back timer HIDD definitions again. hpet.resource is a bad idea.

Can someone please enlighten me a little on how the scheduler is meant to work?
 
Poseidon.library creates its &quot;Poseidon Event Task&quot; during RTF_COLDSTART -&gt; then calls Wait(), and ends up in limbo because wait disables interrupts (used for the scheduler heartbeat), and basically waits forever because the sigbit is never set, since krnSwitch doesn't switch the task unless TF_SWITCH is set, and no codepath run during this seems to set it?? TF_SWITCH does not disable/enable switching. This flag just enables to run user-supplied hook when the task is being switched away. It is completely safe to call Wait() in Disable()d state. Doing this actually temporarily breaks this state. IDNestCnt gets remembered in struct Task, then next task is selected, and its IDNestCnt is restored in sysbase (see kernel_scheduler.c). If there are no other tasks, then your cpu_Dispatch() should enable interrupts on the CPU and enter idle mode. See x86 implementation for good example.

You miss what happens next...
 1. KrnSwitch() saves context of your task, saves IDNestCnt (core_Switch() and cpu_Switch()), then drops into cpu_Dispatch().
 2. cpu_Dispatch() calls core_Dispatch. Then two cases are possible:
 2a. There is a READY task. It is picked up, its IDNestCnt is restored in SysBase, then cpu_Dispatch() needs to restore registers and exit. The next task is run.
 2b. There are no READY tasks. core_Dispatch() returns NULL. In this case your cpu_Dispatch() should enter idle loop. It should just enable interrupts on the CPU and put it on halt. This allows it to process hardware interrupts. Eventually some of your interrupt handlers wakes up your task and puts it into READY list.

My heartbeat interrupt has been slowed atm to help debugging - but it never actually gets a chance to fire because of the Wait() disabling interrupts. Perhaps you have forgotten to enable interrupts in your idle loop.

There is a change in the format of AROS executables. Until now we were using Elf RELocable files which are usually used as intermediate object files. We had them for various reasons, one of them was how AROS files were built in the past. That days we had no real aros cross compiler and the option to embed relocation data in unix executables (or in executable files in general) was rather new and not every linux/unix system had it. Therefore we have decided to use intermediate files. Although it was somehow working (and it is still working :-)), it has some drawbacks. Therefore decided to introduce real Elf EXEC types, in first turn implemented on ARM target with option to expand in future to all other AROS architectures.

The first patch was pretty easy and appeared to work somehow. It generated nice executables with embedded relocation info. Not only that, it also removed all global symbols adjusting relocation data to be relative to the beginning of the sections. That move reduced number of symbols in each executable significantly (depending on the file between 20 and 80% of all symbols could be removed). The only symbols that stayed in the file are local ones - due to the nature of the patch wasn't able to remove them since we have not seen them in the symbol hash table.

The patch didn't worked though. The files were relocated, AROS kernel loaded, but it crashed very early. What happened? Well, the nature of ARM relocations happened :)

Most of the relocation data on all machines is rather simple. Relocation can be absolute or pc-relative, sometimes the offset has to be bit shifted. On ARM v7 there is another one. There, when one wants to load an address of function/variable into register a combination of two instructions can be used: movw and movt. The first one loads immediate into lower 16 bits of a register while clearing upper 16 bits. The second one loads immediate into upper 16 bits without touching lower halfword. Loading of a pointer into a register looks like this:

        movw r0, #:lower16:label

        movt   r0, #:upper16:label

In this case there are two relocations - one for lower halfword and another for upper. If an overflow of lower 16 bits occurs during relocation process, the upper one should be updated as well. Unfortunately with current patch and with typical ARM executables there is not enough information to perform the calculations.

There are two options - the first one would be to give up and go back to &quot;fake&quot; executables, another one would be to change from REL to RELA relocation info. The latter contains an addend, extra data which can be used to perform all the relocation calculations I need.

Decided for the second option. The patch is already in the works. There is another function for the binutils' bfd backend to perform the final relocation. There can decide what to do with every reloc info, modify data and eventually strip some symbols. An advantage is - at this stage of the linking process have also full access to all local symbols so can change all relocations section relative and eventually strip all symbols from the files. 

=== GPU ===

Most of start.elf runs on the GPU.   Placing ALL the userland GPU code in the videocore.hidd isn't going to be a terribly big problem because the code they published is nothing more than a shim that sends data straight to the GPU to execute.

The good news about this is that we only need to write our HIDD using the OpenVG API.   The shim is relatively small codewise and lives in the ARM memory (the actual OpenVG code itself lives in the GPU RAM area and its loaded from start.elf).   That's also the bad news.  Our driver has to translate AROS video calls to OpenVG calls, for most tasks it should be easy, for some, not so much.  It's still probably less difficult and less work, than controlling the GPU directly.

The other good news is that anything done through OpenVG happens on the GPU, its truly accelerated.   It also has some nice font functions, meaning we can lead into an accelerated text mode later.

Basically, AROS resets or locks up when it tries to use AROS_ATOMIC_INC or DEC.  If I comment out the byte/word operations in the header files and use non-atomic operations, the code works as expected.
 
have read that the L1 cache needs to be enabled to use LDREX and co (which I also read is only meant to be used on multi processor systems with shared memory) - however I am certain this is correctly enabled.

If you are using LREX or STREX, you should have L1 cache enabled, at least on the ARM CPU I work with at work.

L1 cache is enabled by enabling the MMU *AND* setting the C and I bits in the CPU - the C bit is ignored, and the I bit only covers the 16 byte instruction pipeline if the MMU is not enabled.

Can you verify that your assembly is generating LDREX/STREX? From the behavior, it almost sounds like its generating the default Semaphore locked atomics.
 Impossible. There are no semaphore-locked atomics. There are Disable()/Enable()-based ones instead. And there's a special #define AROS_NO_ATOMIC_OPERATIONS in this case, which tweaks Disable()/Enable() implementations not to recurse forever.
 I have tested this on ARMv5 which does not have ldrex/strex, it works fine. On those ARMs there's no way to have real atomics. On other OSes (like Linux) this is done by introducing things like atomic_t, which appears to be a complex structure, holding the value together with accompanying spinlock (implemented using swp).

    #warning &quot;TODO: lookup optimal mmu table settings for raspi memory&quot;
        /* Set up an identity-mapping for all 4GB */
        for(x = 0; x &lt; 4096; x ++)
        {
            pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | (0x40002|0x80000|0x010000|0x00C00|0x04);
        }

Shouldn't there be a second loop that sets the 'C' bit in the descriptor for the RAM pages?

Currently, you have TEX=0, C=0, B=1 for all pages (Shared Device).

You should have TEX=0, C=1, B=0 for RAM (Write-Through, Cached)

    So ..
     
     pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | 2;

     
    should be enough?

No, for RAM you need to change the '| 0x40' to '| 0x80'

tell dosboot the correct defaults to use

Please don't do this. This bootconfig.c is a deprecated legacy thing. I wanted it to go away completely with time. Instead,  display  drivers  should auto-install themselves during own initialization phase. I. e. detect hardware=&gt;instantiate itself. This   should   make  things way simpler. With this approach you only need  to add the driver into KS image to get the device autobooted. No
hardcoded stuff. 
Currently  VESA  and  VGA drivers do this, look there for examples. never rewrote ATI driver because i don't have any test system for it.

they defined a smaller AROSCPUContext than the ExceptionContext - yet reference it as ExceptionContext in other places, and since it hasn't allocated enough storage for ExceptionContext, are corrupting memory/the structure (since the elements that are there don't map 1 to 1 with the exception context).

AFAIK, AROS has been moving in a different direction to this in recent
years. It is the job of graphics HIDDs to allocate bitmaps etc. so that
they have the most suitable characteristics, including allocating them
from GPU RAM where possible. The concept of chip RAM is only for legacy
code, and most if not all non-68k platforms should have all system RAM
marked as chip.

BTW, is the video processing code you mention CPU code or GPU code?

Also, IIRC we have support for &quot;external memory allocators&quot;. Perhaps that's what we need for the allocation of GPU RAM through the mailbox.

All hosted and x86 native ports should use proper context formats.

trying to clarify if the vblank handler has to have run by this point to prevent this deadlock. Actually, no. Unless you have installed VBlank handler which should wake up at some point. Without VBlank there will be no quantum count. Consequently, there will be no forced preemption. But the rest will work, and multitasking will be cooperative (switch happens only when current task voluntarily gives up the CPU). Does it depend on the vblank having run before this point? and if yes what does that mean on systems where it might be able to run enough code (e.g. get to this point) before the vblank interrupt has triggered? What is it waiting for? It could wait for timer, in this case you need timer.device working. VBlank is currently needed for exec's quantum counter. In current native ports we have only a single timer, which is served by timer.device. VBlank is simulated by timer.device also. If your machine has two timers, then you can use one of them for VBlank, and another for timer.device, this will simplify things down. VBlank needs to be 50 Hz for historical reasons, many programs use it as cheap timer. I am periodically thinking about making some abstract mechanism to be able to change quantum source (and untie it from 50 Hz), but have no time to come up with something good. Additionally i started disliking timer.device hardcoded design when PC has got many timers (old 8253, APIC, HPET).
Currently i think there should be some low-level entity representing tick source. timer.device should just select the most appropriate source for its units.
The BCM2835 has 4 GPU based timer sources - 2 are used by the GPU, so im using Timer3 for our heartbeat and the remaining one will be free to the system. There is also the less capable ARM timer but that is dependent on the CPU frequency. Very good. You won't need any emulation. Set the heartbeat to 50 Hz and drive VBlank from it. Use other timer for MicroHZ.

Can you use the 'econsole.hook' I make for debugging the Sam460 via the serial port?
It provides a before-anything-else shell prompt on the serial port.  You can then do 'NewCLI' to test your graphics, or use any DOS command in shellcommands.resource.

You should just be able to add econsole.hook to your module list, and use 'econsole' in your bootargs.

So long as you have a working Exec/RawMayGetChar and Exec/RawPutChar, it should work.

Also make sure to add shell.resource and shellcommands.resource for this.

That should have done it.

If you set &quot;#define DEBUG 1&quot; in  arch/all-native/econsole/econsole.c, do you get any additional serial output?

have added it to the build and added econsole to the command line - and can see the bootloader picks up on the emergency bootconsole tag, but I still only get the insert bootable media display?

Im assuming it exposes a fake filesystem that tricks aros into booting?
The contents of which are: ECON:AROS.boot

Way to handle the scheduling code? The implementations I had been following were causing problems, due to cascading interrupts which I cant handle properly in the asm stubs just now (when they break disable etc.) - since it means detecting the interrupted codes cpu mode and getting the correct sp/lr for it, and that's just too tedious for arm.
 
To work around this ive added a system idle task which does nothing - and when the scheduling code has no task to run switches this in and lets it run, thereby allowing the interrupts etc to resume until something does need to happen.
 
Also, by adding accounting code to cpu_Switch() and cpu_Dispatch(), it should allow the system to log idle time correctly (as well as running tasks).
 
have thought of also adding an additional task that never runs, solely to record time spent in IRQ handlers, but I digress..

was under the impression that kernel.resource should *never* be used outside of exec.library. This is a wrong impression.
Michal started designing it because portable nature of AROS does not fit well into exec's API with all its assumptions. So, he started the new, hardware-agnostic kernel API from scratch. Yes, exec sits on top of it in places. But kernel always meant to be open thing. Otherwise it would not exist. 
it wasn't meant to be just used willy nilly by user code - but by lower system components (e.g. exec) so that they could be implemented in a more generic fashion, and the kernel resource itself hide the systems quirks.

Adding new things there perfectly keeps up with our decision to minimize AROS-specific intervention into APIs which can clash with MorphOS/OS4 extensions. We want at least source-level compatibility there. Binary compatibility on PPC would be extremely cool, but at the other hand we have no maintainer for this, as well as their ABIs are a bit weird and far from optimal, especially MorphOS one, because it aims for m68k binary compatibility.
It depends on what exactly is being implemented - there's no reason we should have everything crammed into kernel.resource if it doesn't need to be (i.e. if its better suited as a separate component/subsystem in its own right)

The _LE versions are for when you have endian swapping taking place.  If the graphics are the same endian as the CPU, no swapping should occur.  I ran into a similar terminology problem in SDL with a friend insisting that his Radeon 7000 on his PC was big-endian.  It is not, it just uses the same endianness for the graphics card and the CPU so no swapping was necessary.  They were both little-endian.
The _LE versions are because the PixFmts refer to the bitmap data being in big endian format in memory, for which the normal version would need to do endianness conversion before applying the shifts/masks. on this platform it is in _LE in memory also so we don't need the conversion hence using the _LE version of the call). would use _LE (if it's really little endian 16 bit mode).

 
What is the bare minimum needed to implement a framebuffer based gfx driver, with our software handling the rest?
 
I have tried with just a gfx class that only expose new/dispose/newbitmap - and having an onscreenbitmap used only for the framebuffer itself (with all other bitmaps being chunkybm, and the framebuffer's superclass also being chunkybm), but that alone isn't enough it seems?
You can use workbench/hidds/sm502/ as your example - it is as simple as I could make it.
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

I so far have -:
 
vc_init: queries the gpus memory, and sets up a fake memory handler for it, then adds the bootmode driver and  returns saying all is well
vc_gfxhidd:New: sets up some fake syncmodes to test with and creates the real gfx object.
vc_gfxhidd:NewBitmap: checks if its a framebuffer and uses the onbitmap class or uses the chunkybm class otherwise
vc_onbitmap:New; creates a chunkybm object and then pushes the real framebuffer address into it as the buffer,
 
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

The code I currently have on SVN seems to create the framebuffers bitmap object fine, but then crashes in intuitions DisplayDriver callback.  In particular it crashes performing the getattr on the system default pointer.
don't expose MEMF_CHIP in an allocatable form so AllocSpriteData was failing (and other code later doesn't check if the values are valid == illegal memory accesses)

Actually MEMF_CHIP has to present, for historical reasons.
This has been never fully agreed upon, but in ports i wrote i exposed the whole memory as MEMF_CHIP. The idea behind this is that CHIP is originally the memory where graphics and sound data can be put. On non-Amiga platforms there are no restrictions on this, so the whole memory is CHIP.
Yes, many old software can misbehave with CHIP memory size larger than 2MB. But this actually applies only to m68k AROS which is going to run m68k binaries. In other cases it's quite logical to fix the program when porting.

As to original question: yes, it's enough to have a framebuffer bitmap (one with aoHidd_BitMap_FrameBuffer set to TRUE) and PutPixel routine. It framebuffer can be served by chunky bitmap class, then you can simply create chunky bitmap with your own buffer (see how VESA driver does this). Chunky PutPixel is already there.

struggling to determine what is the correct pixfmt to use for the 24/16/15 bit gfx modes on the RasPi.  AFAIK it uses RGB565, for 16bit but im unsure what shifts etc should go with it? suffice to say Im getting the wrong colors so far lol.

&lt;pre&gt;
redmask: 0x0000F800
greenmask: 0x000007E0
bluemask: 0x0000001F
alphamask: 0

redshift: 16
greenshift: 21
blueshift: 27
alphashift: 0
&lt;/pre&gt;

It should likely be vHidd_StdPixFmt_RGB16_LE

This stuff is a bit confusing.  The &quot;names&quot; of the stdpixfmts are based on the layout in memory,
ignoring endianess. So for example:

ARGB32: will be 0xAA 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB in memory on both big endian and little endian machines.

The shifts and masks OTOH are based on pixel access (ULONG in this case), so differ depending
on whether you run on big endian machine or little endian machine (that's why there's stdpixfmt_le.h and
stdpixfmt_be.h in rom/hidds/graphics/).

With the 16 bit pixel format it's even more confusing, as for example it's impossible on little endian machine
to describe RGB16 with shifts/masks alone. That's why there's vHidd_PixFmt_SwapPixelBytes_Flag.
(RGB16 == RRRRRGGG GGGBBBBB in memory, and for pixel (WORD) access on little endian machine it needs to
be accessed as GGGBBBBBRRRRRGGGG).

The shifts btw indicate how much to shift the component to the left (!) so that it is moved to the highest bit (31).

The aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you specify will be ignored most of the time, because when the pixelfmt is registered,
the gfx hidd checks if there's an identical pixfmt (shifts/masks/etc., but ignoring pixfmt-&gt;stdpixfmt) already in the system,
and if so, it uses the already existing one and does not create a new one.

In theory it would be better if gfx drivers could simply/only specify a StdPixFmt without all the shifts/masks stuff when the
gfx driver uses pixfmt which matches one of the stdpixfmts exactly. Another possibility would be for gfx drivers to use
HIDD_Gfx_GetPIxFmt(stdpixfmt_gfx_driver_wants_to_use) and then peek shifts/masks from it and fill out a pixfmt
tag list based on that.
15bit very blue/green: Try to pass same shifts/masks/etc. as in 16 bit pixfmt (maybe you think it's using 15 bit R5G5B5
(or swapped) but it's actually still using 16 bit R5G6B5 (or swapped).
 aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you pass is mostly ignored. It's the shift/masks/etc. that count.
But I would still pass the correct one (_LE) == whatever rom/hidds/graphics/stdpixfmts_??.h uses
in the entry where you have looked up shifts/masks/etc.

Use the shifts/masks/etc. from the entry in stdpixfmt_le.h (if you are running on little endian machine) or stdpixfmt_be.h (if you
are running on little endian machine) that matches the pixfmt that its meant to be.

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

it feels like AROS trashes the alpha component, otherwise it should be 8A8R8G8B.

read on the subject suggest its in 1x5r5g5b (x is ignored) to keep 16bit alignment .
 
What I see on screen suggests to me that wrong shift/mask are being applied - however going by the 16bit versions it all looks correct to me so I am really confused as to what is happening.
 
The output image looks to have too much green/blue, and very weak red.

Why did usbromstartup become HW-specific ?
In  the  past i have done a big job separating kickstart into several parts. I have never got any responses, so i re-describe my idea.

For now it loads the hs otg chipset driver ..

The  idea  is  to minimize amount of archirecture-specific modules to
    make   user's  life  easier.  So,  the kickstart was split into 'base'
    (which  does  not  contain anything machine-specific) and 'BSP' (Board
    Support Package) which contains all hardware-specific stuff.
     This  way,  for  example, distribution makers can save up space on CD
    and  make  CDs with multiple platform support. Different configuration
    would load the same base with different BSP's.
     Next  there  was some part which is entirely missing on hosted. These
    are   filesystems.  Hosted  ports  do  not need them to boot up, so on
    hosted   they  are  left  out.  At  the  other  hand,  they  are  also
    architecture-agnostic.  So  i put them into 'FS' package (standing for
    'filesystem').

     Poseidon  is  one  more  big part. I made it into separate package in
    order to allow users to omit it if they don't need it (for example, to
    run  on retro PCs without USB). Personally i have one. Again, Poseidon
    is  hardware-agnostic (well, there are USB drivers but HCIs are pretty
    standard).

It's mandatory on PI since there are no other interface types - so being a separate package is irrelevant/pointless.

Is Raspberry's USB controller non-HCI compliant? Actually i expect it to be compliant, then wouldn't it be better to make existing drivers discovering them? 
 
AFAIK its HCI 1.0 compliant but I'm not familiar enough with poseidons drivers, nor USB, to just hack away at the existing code.  Perhaps once i'm more familiar with the workings I can merge in the changes needed to get it operating but for now I will focus on getting it running.  Also our drivers have known issues so perhaps a fresh set of eyes might shed some light on what is going wrong.

Another interesting question is whether Poseidon can operate on device side. Is it flexible enough? How similar is being a USB host and USB device? think it will need a bit of work on Poseidon's side.  Until then I will force the driver into Host/Master mode in the init code, but leave open device etc to configure the chipset for either's use - and look at trying to add support for working in Device/Slave mode &amp; switching modes once it's up and running.

Actually USBROMStartup is some kind of kludge. Can there be any alternative? Could device drivers be self-installing, like our HIDDs? This would get rid of need to list them in USBRomStartup.

And there is one more thing about modular ports. In order to actually implement this, your bootstrapping environment should provide the ability to load several files. On PC this is provided by GRUB2. on CHRP you can read filesystem via OpenFirmware, and Sam's Parthenope relies on modified u-boot. If your bootstrap allows to load only a single file, then you stuck with monolithic kickstart. By the way...  u-boot allows not only to boot up a single uImage or zImage, it also allows to write client programs AFAIK. With this approach, you actually can write modular bootstrap for ARM AROS using unmodified u-boot.

Will raspberrypi ARM programs run on other ARM archs and vice-versa ? If not I would like to use different cpu names for 
archs which are incompatible. 
All code compiled for at most armv6 with softfp float abi will work on all softfp ARM targets, including raspberry. 
Code compiled for hard-float ABI will not work on any softfp target. But then, hard-float abi uses -armhf- cpu name.

hdmi issues

Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there.

You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal.

If the display is a computer monitor or newer tv, use hdmi_group=1 (auto HDMI use) and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2 (for DMT formats, i.e. for PC monitors) then you HAVE to &quot;set hdmi_drive = 2 to enable HDMI output as this forces HDMI mode rather than DVI mode

Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options.

Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1 A and not 500 mA.
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost

composite video

changing the RCA cable, then the composite port worked out of the box

Boot it as you are doing, without HDMI. If you now plug in the HDMI, do you get the image? In other words, does the Pi think HDMI is connected even when it isn't?

Rename all the files in the first partion of the card except bootcode.bin, start.elf and fixup.dat  What's the result?

Put back config.txt What's the result?

config.txt

the hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1 option sems relevant as it should tell ALSA that the only available audio is analog, no matter what the display says

There are several different ways that these 4 pole (ring) composite analog cables can be wired up, so some work great in some applications and can be a waste of time in others.

What is needed for the Raspberry Pi B+ and above, which like many camcorders needs the ring contact next to the base contact to be the ground.

The wiring for the 4 pole are:

TIP (LEFT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 1 (RIGHT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 2 (GROUND/EARTH)

RING 3 BASE/SLEEVE (VIDEO) YELLOW

Most Apple based Players and the Microsoft Zune (TM) are wired this way.

Most analogue camcorders are wired this way as well, where the ground in on Ring 2 will work with the Pi although you may need to swap your Video plug with the Right Audio plug.

Nearly all other MP3 players are not wired this way, the ground is on another ring ie the wrong one.

* Camera Module Omnivision ov5647 Sunny 5MP (NoIR version) V1.3 - NoIR at 850&amp;nbsp;nm, peak at 880&amp;nbsp;nm and trails off at 940&amp;nbsp;nm wavelengths

* Branded WIFI usb BCM43143 dongle

N.B.  dreaded error after changing cameras (stupidly without turning off the power first) and lasted through several power cycles.  It can be a bad 15-pin FFC ribbon cable, when swapped, camera(s) and the Pi itself are working OK. It can be an instance of a cold solder joint on the CSI connector on the pi board.  the camera can be detected (that's done via I2C) but may still not be able to receive image data (done via CSI-2) if something is broken. CSI-2 is uni-directional. Control is generally done via I2C. 
The CSI-2 receiver always writes to memory, not direct to the ISP. That's the way the Broadcom architecture works as it allows multipass processing easily. GPU memory is accessible from the ARM. Processing using the QPU graphics processors may be possible.  currently the only supported sensor is OV5647 and IMX219.  The linux drivers are all in the firmware blob, else you'd  be looking at at least a man-month of work in a fully fledged imaging lab to do a decent tuning of the camera modules' ISP parameters. 
Static electricity maybe an issue for the camera module and slightly less for the pi board.

Help building AROS hosted on Linux ARM

I was looking a way to use more my Handheld ARM based called Pyra (Dragonbox Pyra) an ARM (Omap5 cpu with 4GB ram) linux based machine (Debian Buster v10 with kernel 5.6.19 adapted) and have a try to compile the latest Aros sources by Deadwood directly on this device.
Compilation stops after build libpopupmenu.a and trying to build libatomic have this error:

&lt;/pre&gt;


looking at config.log on arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/host/tools/crosstools/gnu/gcc/arm-aros/libatomic

i found that arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf/arm-aros-ld: cannot find -laeabi
so i do make linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick
and the missing lib was built.

now the next stop is at
fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
and
fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
in many places so after checking that i have this missing include files i have noted that my include path is a bit different, standard searching path is /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf but in my system is /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
so if i add my path to some mmakefiles compilation goes on....but is a better way to add this path to avoid every mmakefiles to be changed?
i fixed with adding
-I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
to where is missing on mmakefiles like
USER_INCLUDES := -isystem $(GENINCDIR) -I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

P.s. I have changed many mmakefiles and have at least compiled (after many hours) the toolchain doing make every time in arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build (also have to disable making tests under cplusplus but don't remember the directory ...) but i ask an help to have an automated way to correctly build without modify mmakefiles.


Last time I built armhf target was around 2 years ago. At that point I built is via cross-compilation from linux (ubuntu 22.04) using linux armhf crosscompiler (this can explain the path differences you are experiencing) as well as using AROS gcc cross-compiler in version 6.5.0 (build with option 21) in rebuild.sh). Since then AROS GCC has been updated to 10.5.0 and I don't believe anyone tried to build the armhf target again.

My suggestion would be to downgrade GCC to 6.5.0 (via editing AROS/config/gcc_def file) and try to first build using cross-compilation from x86_64 linux. Once that works, you will have a &quot;template&quot; to compare to native compilation under arm linux.


Thanks for your suggestion...but i think the toolchain with GCC 10.5.0 is compilable if i found a way to pass the path of my system to the script that build (option 21 on rebuild).
The other only changes are (but i don't know where to modify...) is to add the build of libaeabi and disable the building of some tests under cplusplus that use exceptions and is not supported under ARM.
I'll try to crosscompile with my Linux amd64 PC.

For paths look into core-linux-armhf/bin/linux-armhf/gen/config/target.cfg. A number of build-wide variable is set there containing paths to local build system. These variables and the target.cfg file are generated by AROS ./configure script.

Thanks compilation now go forward...i changed target.cfg under &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/config&quot; and do make on &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build&quot; dir.

Now i need to find where to enable build libaeabi.a so i can build the entire toolchain with option 21 of rebuild.sh


I found something that looks like libeabi in AROS/arm-all/arm-aeabi/mmakefile.src. Try adding a third line there:

#MM- linklibs-armhd : libklibs-aeabi-arm

Though I don't remember needing this library. Possibly the 6.5.0 GCC somehow does this while 10.5.0 is missing this.


I try adding this line (and the variant &quot;linklibs-armhf&quot; instead of hd) but it did not solve the automatic building of the missing lib. I must do &quot;linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick&quot;.
Anyway after have build the aeabi lib i succefully built the toolchain (after many hours...). Smile

To test I restarted from selecting option 21 (on rebuild.sh) but after many hours i get the same error of the kernel includes not found...maybe i need to modify the configure script for my case.

With the toolchain built i try to build the core-linux-armhf (DEBUG) (option 22) but after a while it stopped with
&quot;cannot find -laeabi &quot; so i made it built manually...and now i can continue compiling...i'll let you know if all goes ok.

==Introduction==

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charity founded in May 2009 to promote the study of basic computer science in schools, and is responsible for developing a single-board computer called the Raspberry Pi.

The Foundation is supported by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and Broadcom. Its aim is to &quot;promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.&quot;

The original Raspberry Pi 1 Model B computer went on sale in February 2012 and set a new standard shattering the dominance of the PC in the home and education markets. Millions in the various formats, A, B, A+, B+ and Compute have since been shipped worldwide. The original concept of the Raspberry Pi was for a computer board providing Internet access with up to 1080p HD graphics at very low cost. The boards provide a platform for children and adults from any background to acquire computer science knowledge and help develop the future World-Wide-Web and all things internet (IOT hub and bridges out to home network to cloud of sensors).

Hobbyists and tech dabblers/tinkerers are the main purchases of the Pis (around half).

The rest of the sales are split between education/industrial. While the Raspberry Pi boards were designed primarily for education, they have become very popular with manufacturers of embedded systems. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has ensured backwards compatibility with each new revision. The bare-bones Compute module is aimed specifically at the OEM manufacturer.

The overclock ability has diminished with each chip version as the energy usage has very slowly risen. BCM2837 is one of the warmest yet and might benefit from active cooling (ie fan) if all four cpu cores are in use for a short while. Video playback is not affected due to the custom support in the GPU. 5 V / 2.4 or 2.5 amp power supply recommended if all four cpu cores are running, else throttling (cpu slowdown) might occur.

==Implemented so far...==

# Modify the configure system so that it correctly builds for the arm hardware float raspi target.
# Implemented the bootstrap to load the aros modules and prepare the arm to jump into them. Reworked the x86 console support so that parts can be stolen for raspi to use since t has no basic functionality to output to the display.
# Implemented a kernel.resource to prepare the raspi for running aros and provide the low level api calls to expose available resources and allow exec, etc function.
# Implemented serial debug support
# Implemented the exec (and kernel) functionality required to make multitasking work (and interrupts, exceptions, syscalls, etc)
# Implemented a timer.device to utilise the hardware timers.
# Implemented a very basic gfx driver to expose the hardware's framebuffer.
# Implemented an SD-Card driver for AROS which presently only supports the raspi's chipset but can easily be modified to support all sd-card hardware and media.
# Fixed the fat filesystem support in AROS so that it can boot on RasPi's normal SD-Card setup. The &quot;rom&quot; image files needed use a different filename than the default linux, etc images so can be easily installed without harming the existing files - you only need to change the loaded images in the config file to get aros to boot.
# Updated the build scripts to automatically download the necessary raspi firmware files and wrap it all up so that you can simply extract the archive to a fat formatted sdcard and boot it on the raspi without having to get anything else.
# fix everything in contrib and ports to build for raspi (needs proper testing/fixes but allows every component to actually compile at least, including owb) + numerous other fixes to get things working on arm/raspi ..


Improvements...

# Implement a USB chipset driver &quot;OR&quot; finish the existing one [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/c07d13c724f944674be5db54fc6a71ee72a01809 usb otg] - the current code is mostly a skeleton that should initialise the chipset and then needs relevant code to support the different transfer types. It also has the &quot;virtual&quot; hub code in place to represent the raspi's USB port (from poseidons p.o.v) 
# Implement a driver for the USB NIC (a few weeks - depends on USB above) 
# Write an [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/d55d0f74d20b769bbb8c8d386e5c1d7a9154f05a audio driver] (a few weeks - independent of USB) and [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/e93a4c245f27a87c9c4c1d39206694b39059998a HDMI]
# fix syscall bug in the current raspi kernel code
# Graphics depend on having a decent &quot;bcmdma.resource&quot; implemented as to use the cpu's dma engine. The sd card driver needs to use it for transfers to/from the controller - and the gfx system needs to use it for &quot;blitting&quot;.

===Boot up ===

On power-up, the rpi [http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/ BCM 2835] [https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv VideoCore4] GPU, not the ARM CPU, is in control, and the SD card slot is the only peripheral device with power. The firmware burned into the BCM2835's VideoCoreIV GPU PROM requires a DOS-style partition table; a FAT-formatted first partition; and the freely redistributable but closed sourced Broadcom files “bootcode.bin” and “start.elf” in that partition.

The boot sequence carries out several pre-boot tasks

*On powering of the rpi, the GPU reads and executes bootcode.bin, which then loads start.elf 
*The GPU loads the “start.elf” file, eventually, into the L2 cache and then executes it
*configures the memory split for the CPU and GPU
*reads and parses “config.txt” from the same partition on the SD card and applies the settings (like a PC’s BIOS settings)
*loads the “kernel.img” file, again from the same partition
*activates the CPU to begin executing the loaded kernel image

The CPU/GPU memory split is hard-coded into start.elf, so Broadcom provides three start.elf images, to give 32M, 64M, or 128M to the GPU for multimedia performance, and the remainder to the CPU.

RPi uses [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware some closed source loaders] and at some point it loads a binary blob named &quot;kernel.img&quot; at 0x8000, at that point there would be a rudimentary Aros alive. If one wants to use the SD-card then there would have to be a driver for the interface and a fat filesystem handler (SD-card has to be formatted to fat filesystem)

Boot code and kernel are now linked together and made into that binary blob, just for starters. Raspberry Pi uses [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot] and [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=138 UBoot] as bootloader, there's already some code in the Efika MX port for that. UBoot is a native bootloader and not just for the raspberry pi, it loads after start.elf.

You can find Efika MX port from arch implementations, some hacking is needed for the mmakefile.src'es as iit dates back to before the Aros crosstool era or else you get some weird errors while building. You also need to code the bootstrap and serial handling.

At the moment it seems that a fastest route for the native build would be to make one binary blob without using the package system. Raspberry's memory layout is pretty simple and if the implemented u-boot doesn't support loading other modules

===Framebuffer - basic display===

RasPi has to speak to the &quot;operating system&quot; which runs on the GPU itself and request/free memory - it cant directly manage it itself, and so the managed functions were used to wrap these calls.

The Arm and GPU share memory space. The framebuffer is shared. The Arm can write a pixel and it will appear on the screen (through GPU hardware) without flushing/copying being required.

The GPU can composite multiple FB's in real time - so you have a number of surfaces defined which are rotated etc and  composited in real time to the output. Copying can map from the address space of the Arm to the flat space of the GPU which takes some code, but I don't think whole buffers are copied.

The DMA hardware can also access the whole memory space and can perform 2D fills and blits (no blending). This is documented in the peripheral spec posted. The DMA is just an Arm accessible peripheral and can be set up with low latency (e.g. microseconds).
must use a 0xc0000000-based bus address to access SDRAM, yet non-DMA access should go via a 0x0-based bus address. 
For 2D dma, set TDMODE, and the spec says &quot;interpret the TXFR_LEN register as YLENGTH number of transfers each of XLENGTH, and add the strides to the address after each transfer.&quot; so set STRIDE to pitch of the image, the width is XLENGTH and height is YLENGTH. You would fill by not setting the SRC_INC and point source to your fill data.

The DMA cannot see the ARM's L1 cache, so you would map the framebuffer with ioremap_nocache. Depending on where the source data comes from, it may need an L1 cache flush. The DMA can see the L2 cache. Use 0xC0000000 bus addresses when L2 is disabled and 0x40000000 bus addresses when L2 is enabled. (actually just call virt_to_bus and you'll get the right address out).

openGLES/openVG has high latency. Writing to framebuffer then reading it back is very inefficient (e.g. milliseconds). If you can drive it a unidirectional way, just streaming commands at then that is efficient. openVG is not implemented on top of openGLES - it uses the same hardware but as a first class interface

To improve the Gfx driver, we will need a DMA resource implemented so can use to perform DMA operations. The Gfx driver will need this to perform blits.

===USB ===

* Model A and B limited to 150 mA per port. 
* Model B+ and Pi 2 introduced configurable 600 mA to 1.2 A support over all ports - anything above that requires a powered USB hub.

Implementing the hardware driver that Poseidon uses to interact with the USB components.

Have code in place to (try) and initialise the USB chipset, and configure host/device mode operation (though AFAICT Poseidon doesn't support device mode). Started to get the &quot;virtual&quot; root hub written for the single USB port so that Poseidon should at least list it correctly in the GUI - and try to interact with it to find peripherals.


The BCM2835 uses a soft IP block from Synopsys’ DesignWare library (DWC), specifically the block is called dwc_usb_2_0_hs_otg_subsystem-ahb_se (“USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG Controller Subsystem w/AHB Interface SE”).

There is no public documentation for this, and pretty much zero chance of anyone getting hold of it even with NDA. However, there's a Linux driver written by Synopsys ([https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux dwc_usb]). Specifically directories [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_common_port] and [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_otg].

The Synopsys code is actually under a fairly permissive licence – it's not GPL, it's similar to BSD (’don't sue us if it breaks’ is pretty much the only clause). So this should not be a barrier to porting the code.

The code is really well written, with a nice partition between the work done by the driver (dwc_otg, which is fairly involved, given the host does more work than a conventional EHCI driver), and the interface to Linux (dwc_common_port).

Probably only need provision of relevant changes to dwc_common_port. Other things to consider....

* Provision of necessary headers to get it to compile
* Provision of necessary functions (main issues are wait queues, threads, work queues, tasklets, timers, spinlocks and mutexes (multithreading) )
* Interfacing between USB stack and the driver. dwc_otg/dwc_otg_hcd_linux.c looks like the place to start.

the Linux bits of the headers are only required for the dwc_common_port library. dwc_common_port includes a variety of crypto functions which are not used – it appears to also be used for ultrawideband (UWB) and wireless USB (WUSB) drivers where crypto will be an issue, but it isn't going to be for plain wired USB.

Every USB driver acts as an USB hub as well in order to let Poseidon control the state of USB ports. The code there was reading status of the only USB port in Raspberry's CPU but when changing the status it erroneously deleted some of the status bits, including the port enable one. It was so because those bits in the status register are of a type Read/WriteToClear. It means, if one does not want to change their value from 1 back to 0, one has to actually write the 0 value. Very practical thing e.g. in interrupt handlers, where one reads the interrupt status register to learn what was the interrupt reason, and writes it back to the same register in order to clear the interrupts. 

After fixing that code it turned out that the communication was still unsuccessful. Apparently the USB device was not understanding the host for some reason. That should not happen since the request sent was one of the standard ones implemented by virtually anything with an USB connector, assumed that Poseidon clears the data caches before forwarding the work to the USB drivers but that's the responsibility of the driver itself. 

The USB device responded and acknowledged the transmission! But why were all the request sent after address change failing with timeout? They should not. Once again, address set is supported just by anything. Tried to contact the device at address 0 once again and there it was, still responding properly. The enlightenment came. The bus address for DMA transmissions was, as it is in many bare metal USB implementations, just the pure memory address of the buffer as seen by the ARM cpu. Have &quot;prefixed&quot; it with the real location of uncached RAM and booted AROS once again.

What are these things? The first one is USB hub built in the Raspberry. Thanks to this one the Pi machines (with exception of Pi0 and computing modules) have more than just one single USB port. The second one is the network chip in raspberry, the third one is my USB SD card reader which have just connected to see what happens. AROS tried, of course, to boot from it ;)

So, the first step towards working USB is done. The control transfers are working as you can see above. Next step is to implement bulk and interrupt transfers, having the basics in place. Finally some error handling will be added and USB for Pi will be as complete as the PC version.

===Audio ===

To follow...

[https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/sound/arm audio] and its [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/2 very high speed message passing interface type of thing VCHI]

The Model B+ added an additional voltage regulator for the audio output and an additional output driver to drive low-resistance loads like headphones. However it is still using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which has a major impact on sound quality

the old Raspberry Pi used a linear voltage regulator to provide the 3.3V to many of the components on the board while the new one uses a switching regulator. Both can perform reasonably well. However switch mode power supplies often show higher noise figures

Analogue audio

Audio over HDMI rev 1.3 &amp; 1.4

===Ethernet===

10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ45 socket

===GPIO ===

GPIO shouldn't be too bad but bear in mind it is already accessed in places so they would need to allocate pins etc through it (e.g. sdcard to flicker the activity light, serial debug to output data on the GPIO pins)

Probably a resource rather than a device...

Started an i2c driver that will need to allocate GPIO pins. Feel free to work on it if you are interested ;p

The status of AROS native for RasPi was OK. System booting, USB working (although with some issues but plan to fix them). Got stuck on modifying the ABI (application binary interface) and adjusting binutils/gcc to support it wanted to have real executable files but got stuck a little. This change for the type of relocations embedded in ARM files and not sure if this very type is well supported, on the other hand without this change ARM version of AROS wouldn't work well. By reverting the change to ABI we could have a (somehow) working AROS on RasPi, but unfortunately still unstable. 

Old native [http://www.aros.org/nightly1.html ARMv6 32bit nightlys] and

# download/checkout the source someplace, e.g. /build/AROS-Src/
# make a directory to store external sources AROS downloads, e.g. /build/Ports
# make a build directory, e.g. /build/aros-raspi-armhf
# cd into the build dir, configure, and then run make -:

&lt;pre&gt;
&gt;cd /build/aros-raspi-armhf
&gt;/build/AROS-Src/configure --target=raspberrypi-armhf --with-serial-debug --enable-ccache --with-portssources=/build/Ports
&gt;make
&gt;make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

then copy the files from /build/aros-raspi-armhf/bin/raspi-armhf/AROS/ onto an sdcard, and download/copy the Raspi firmware files onto it.

You should then be able to boot the sdcard on your RasPi.

The current W.I.P tree to svn. it can be built as follows ..
&lt;pre&gt;
./configure --target=raspi-armhf
make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

That will generate arosraspi.img, arosraspi.rom and config.txt in bin/raspi-arm/AROS - so either copy just those files to a fat formatted SD card (with the firmware files on), or copy the whole contents of the AROS folder.

NB - if you have a Linux/other install, backup the existing config.txt first

arosraspi.img contains the bootstrap (which has very basic mailbox code, framebuffer/gpio init, and console &quot;emulation&quot; via code pinched from our libbootconsole), kernel.resource, and exec.library

arosraspi.rom contains all the other components needed to boot AROS.

The config.txt file will tell the RasPI bootstrap to load our arosraspi kernel and ramdisk (rom).

the bootstrap has minimal mailbox code, planning on adding either a resource or library that driver/app code will use to access it (likewise for GPIO)

Ubuntu VM approach to compiling [http://lallafa.de/blog/2013/06/building-aros-hosted-for-raspbian/ Linux hosted AROS June 04, 2013]

arm-elf- is symbol-linked to arm-linux-gnueabi- (arm-linux-gnueabi- is more correct in this case, because it's going to be compiling the ARM AROSBootstrap for ARM Linux)

*armel - many of the &quot;android&quot; machines require since the entire OS is made for soft float VFP. 
*armfp - Efika MX target, Raspberry PI, EfikaMX, Pandora and virtually everything (VFP)

Keep in mind it's possible to start hardfp AROS hosted on softfp system, though, as long as no calls between AROS and host require floating point parameters. NOTE: hardfloat objects *cannot* be linked with softfloat objects - they have a different ABI.

Just keep in mind the arm nightly build machine is quite complex beast. It needs the x86_64 host compiler to compile AROS tools. The arm version is built every night using gcc-4.6.2 crosscompiler (built together with AROS) and successfully builds armel and armhf linux hosted targets.

*needs an AROS code compiler for ARM target 
*as well as unix compiler for ARM linux host (would be best to have both softfp and armhf, we have softfp only now) with full set of libraries and includes.

with—disable-crosstools  $AROS_CC  is always a wrapper around $KERNEL_CC  ?  If  so,  this  is  wrong for some ports. This can break Darwin, Windows and Android port. 
Yes,  Android  port  will  build.  And  even  work. But it's not good because  the  port  will  not  be ABI-compatible with other ARM ports. Android's ABI is different from GNUEABI. For example:

&lt;pre&gt;
enum test {foo, bar};
enum test testvar;
&lt;/pre&gt;

siseof(testvar)  will  be  equal  to sizeof(int) in GNUEABI (Linux and AROS)  and  sizeof(short)  on  Android. This affects linking objects from static linklibs, for example.

Previously everything worked because $AROS_CC was a wrapper on top of $HOST_CC. And a real crosscompiler was used on non-ELF hosts.

Android is the same. $KERNEL_CC is incompatible with AROS.

compiler=kernel  is  appropriate _ONLY FOR CODE WHICH RUNS ON HOST OS_ (or  barebone  hardware,  if  we  talk  about  native).  This includes bootstraps,  their  linklibs, and host-side dynamic libraries (Windows makes extensive use of them because of architectural considerations.

No single AROS object should be compiled with this setting. $KERNEL_CC is really compatible with AROS *ONLY IN LINUX-HOSTED* and no more. On other systems (Darwin, Windows,  Android) this is not true any more, and compiler=kernel is never going to work.

If  you  want  to  compile your AROS module against host OS includes, append  the  following  to  USER_INCLUDES  (or  USER_CFLAGS,  this  is effectively the same):

 -isystem $(GENINCDIR) $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) expands to:

 -isystem  &lt;your_os_includes&gt;  -isystem  &lt;host_OS_gcc_private_includes&gt;
 -nostdinc

This makes AROS compiler adhering to host OS APIs.

If you want some preprocessor symbols based on what your host OS actually is, add something like -DHOST_OS_$(AROS_HOST_ARCH).

Why is there $(GENINCDIR) at all? Because host OS has its own libc includes, which would conflict with AROS ones. And the host OS libc is not binary-compatible with AROS one.

Why doesn't Windows-hosted port use $(KERNEL_INCLUDES) ? Because WinAPI includes conflict with AROS ones in fundamental typedefs, like WORD, BYTE and BOOL. It's almost impossible to deal with this in any other way than rewriting WinAPI definitions using AROS types.

Building under centos 6.3 (i386) currently, and AROS creates the toolchain itself. haven't yet committed the necessary changes but &quot;./configure --target=raspi-armhf&quot; is enough to start, then &quot;make arosboot-raspi&quot; will generate arosraspi.img (containing the bootstrap, kernel.resource, and exec.library) as well as arosraspi.rom (containing all the other essentials components such as dos, graphics etc).  It will also copy over a config.txt file to make the raspi bootstrap code load the correct kernel, and a cmdline.txt that enables exec debug output.

=== Core Kernel ===

the reason behind INTB_KERNEL is to allow use of the standard Exec function AddIntServer() to add interrupt handlers for
hardware drivers etc. AmigaOS never used it for abstract hardware drivers. AmigaOS  routed  only  raw  hardware IRQs there. Their assignment was hardcoded. As well as number of them. Actually on AmigaOS every bus has its own interrupt subsystem. For example PCI bus. PCI interrupts on Amiga are routed to a single exec interrupt.  1:1 relationship between CPU  and hardware interrupts is present only on PC.

IMHO we miss things like AddInterrupt/RemInterrupt methods on our PCI subsystem's device class.  PCI bus class should map these methods to whatever is appropriate. This is how it is done on AmigaOS and friends. When these are implemented, raw kernel.resource API will be needed only for several PC-specific drivers with hardwired resources. Exec IRQs are real IRQs only on Amiga hardware. On other machines they can be emulated where appropriate (VBlank is a good example). kernel.resource is meant  to be different, its IRQs are hardware-agnostic, they are plain &quot;Hardware IRQ number X, whatever this means&quot;. They are low-level actually, and meaningful only in the context of a particular system.

Was that not the transition from irq.hidd to kernel.resource? No.  A long time ago there was another hacky bit named INTB_TIMERTICK. It was &quot;abstract timer interrupt&quot;, used by timer.device. It was the same as VBlank, but with larger frequency. I removed it, because kernel.resource API was a cleaner way to access this interrupt. Furthermore, there can be more than one timer in the system. I am even thinking about bringing back timer HIDD definitions again. hpet.resource is a bad idea.

Can someone please enlighten me a little on how the scheduler is meant to work?
 
Poseidon.library creates its &quot;Poseidon Event Task&quot; during RTF_COLDSTART -&gt; then calls Wait(), and ends up in limbo because wait disables interrupts (used for the scheduler heartbeat), and basically waits forever because the sigbit is never set, since krnSwitch doesn't switch the task unless TF_SWITCH is set, and no codepath run during this seems to set it?? TF_SWITCH does not disable/enable switching. This flag just enables to run user-supplied hook when the task is being switched away. It is completely safe to call Wait() in Disable()d state. Doing this actually temporarily breaks this state. IDNestCnt gets remembered in struct Task, then next task is selected, and its IDNestCnt is restored in sysbase (see kernel_scheduler.c). If there are no other tasks, then your cpu_Dispatch() should enable interrupts on the CPU and enter idle mode. See x86 implementation for good example.

You miss what happens next...
 1. KrnSwitch() saves context of your task, saves IDNestCnt (core_Switch() and cpu_Switch()), then drops into cpu_Dispatch().
 2. cpu_Dispatch() calls core_Dispatch. Then two cases are possible:
 2a. There is a READY task. It is picked up, its IDNestCnt is restored in SysBase, then cpu_Dispatch() needs to restore registers and exit. The next task is run.
 2b. There are no READY tasks. core_Dispatch() returns NULL. In this case your cpu_Dispatch() should enter idle loop. It should just enable interrupts on the CPU and put it on halt. This allows it to process hardware interrupts. Eventually some of your interrupt handlers wakes up your task and puts it into READY list.

My heartbeat interrupt has been slowed atm to help debugging - but it never actually gets a chance to fire because of the Wait() disabling interrupts. Perhaps you have forgotten to enable interrupts in your idle loop.

There is a change in the format of AROS executables. Until now we were using Elf RELocable files which are usually used as intermediate object files. We had them for various reasons, one of them was how AROS files were built in the past. That days we had no real aros cross compiler and the option to embed relocation data in unix executables (or in executable files in general) was rather new and not every linux/unix system had it. Therefore we have decided to use intermediate files. Although it was somehow working (and it is still working :-)), it has some drawbacks. Therefore decided to introduce real Elf EXEC types, in first turn implemented on ARM target with option to expand in future to all other AROS architectures.

The first patch was pretty easy and appeared to work somehow. It generated nice executables with embedded relocation info. Not only that, it also removed all global symbols adjusting relocation data to be relative to the beginning of the sections. That move reduced number of symbols in each executable significantly (depending on the file between 20 and 80% of all symbols could be removed). The only symbols that stayed in the file are local ones - due to the nature of the patch wasn't able to remove them since we have not seen them in the symbol hash table.

The patch didn't worked though. The files were relocated, AROS kernel loaded, but it crashed very early. What happened? Well, the nature of ARM relocations happened :)

Most of the relocation data on all machines is rather simple. Relocation can be absolute or pc-relative, sometimes the offset has to be bit shifted. On ARM v7 there is another one. There, when one wants to load an address of function/variable into register a combination of two instructions can be used: movw and movt. The first one loads immediate into lower 16 bits of a register while clearing upper 16 bits. The second one loads immediate into upper 16 bits without touching lower halfword. Loading of a pointer into a register looks like this:

        movw r0, #:lower16:label

        movt   r0, #:upper16:label

In this case there are two relocations - one for lower halfword and another for upper. If an overflow of lower 16 bits occurs during relocation process, the upper one should be updated as well. Unfortunately with current patch and with typical ARM executables there is not enough information to perform the calculations.

There are two options - the first one would be to give up and go back to &quot;fake&quot; executables, another one would be to change from REL to RELA relocation info. The latter contains an addend, extra data which can be used to perform all the relocation calculations I need.

Decided for the second option. The patch is already in the works. There is another function for the binutils' bfd backend to perform the final relocation. There can decide what to do with every reloc info, modify data and eventually strip some symbols. An advantage is - at this stage of the linking process have also full access to all local symbols so can change all relocations section relative and eventually strip all symbols from the files. 

=== GPU ===

Most of start.elf runs on the GPU.   Placing ALL the userland GPU code in the videocore.hidd isn't going to be a terribly big problem because the code they published is nothing more than a shim that sends data straight to the GPU to execute.

The good news about this is that we only need to write our HIDD using the OpenVG API.   The shim is relatively small codewise and lives in the ARM memory (the actual OpenVG code itself lives in the GPU RAM area and its loaded from start.elf).   That's also the bad news.  Our driver has to translate AROS video calls to OpenVG calls, for most tasks it should be easy, for some, not so much.  It's still probably less difficult and less work, than controlling the GPU directly.

The other good news is that anything done through OpenVG happens on the GPU, its truly accelerated.   It also has some nice font functions, meaning we can lead into an accelerated text mode later.

Basically, AROS resets or locks up when it tries to use AROS_ATOMIC_INC or DEC.  If I comment out the byte/word operations in the header files and use non-atomic operations, the code works as expected.
 
have read that the L1 cache needs to be enabled to use LDREX and co (which I also read is only meant to be used on multi processor systems with shared memory) - however I am certain this is correctly enabled.

If you are using LREX or STREX, you should have L1 cache enabled, at least on the ARM CPU I work with at work.

L1 cache is enabled by enabling the MMU *AND* setting the C and I bits in the CPU - the C bit is ignored, and the I bit only covers the 16 byte instruction pipeline if the MMU is not enabled.

Can you verify that your assembly is generating LDREX/STREX? From the behavior, it almost sounds like its generating the default Semaphore locked atomics.
 Impossible. There are no semaphore-locked atomics. There are Disable()/Enable()-based ones instead. And there's a special #define AROS_NO_ATOMIC_OPERATIONS in this case, which tweaks Disable()/Enable() implementations not to recurse forever.
 I have tested this on ARMv5 which does not have ldrex/strex, it works fine. On those ARMs there's no way to have real atomics. On other OSes (like Linux) this is done by introducing things like atomic_t, which appears to be a complex structure, holding the value together with accompanying spinlock (implemented using swp).

    #warning &quot;TODO: lookup optimal mmu table settings for raspi memory&quot;
        /* Set up an identity-mapping for all 4GB */
        for(x = 0; x &lt; 4096; x ++)
        {
            pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | (0x40002|0x80000|0x010000|0x00C00|0x04);
        }

Shouldn't there be a second loop that sets the 'C' bit in the descriptor for the RAM pages?

Currently, you have TEX=0, C=0, B=1 for all pages (Shared Device).

You should have TEX=0, C=1, B=0 for RAM (Write-Through, Cached)

    So ..
     
     pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | 2;

     
    should be enough?

No, for RAM you need to change the '| 0x40' to '| 0x80'

tell dosboot the correct defaults to use

Please don't do this. This bootconfig.c is a deprecated legacy thing. I wanted it to go away completely with time. Instead,  display  drivers  should auto-install themselves during own initialization phase. I. e. detect hardware=&gt;instantiate itself. This   should   make  things way simpler. With this approach you only need  to add the driver into KS image to get the device autobooted. No
hardcoded stuff. 
Currently  VESA  and  VGA drivers do this, look there for examples. never rewrote ATI driver because i don't have any test system for it.

they defined a smaller AROSCPUContext than the ExceptionContext - yet reference it as ExceptionContext in other places, and since it hasn't allocated enough storage for ExceptionContext, are corrupting memory/the structure (since the elements that are there don't map 1 to 1 with the exception context).

AFAIK, AROS has been moving in a different direction to this in recent
years. It is the job of graphics HIDDs to allocate bitmaps etc. so that
they have the most suitable characteristics, including allocating them
from GPU RAM where possible. The concept of chip RAM is only for legacy
code, and most if not all non-68k platforms should have all system RAM
marked as chip.

BTW, is the video processing code you mention CPU code or GPU code?

Also, IIRC we have support for &quot;external memory allocators&quot;. Perhaps that's what we need for the allocation of GPU RAM through the mailbox.

All hosted and x86 native ports should use proper context formats.

trying to clarify if the vblank handler has to have run by this point to prevent this deadlock. Actually, no. Unless you have installed VBlank handler which should wake up at some point. Without VBlank there will be no quantum count. Consequently, there will be no forced preemption. But the rest will work, and multitasking will be cooperative (switch happens only when current task voluntarily gives up the CPU). Does it depend on the vblank having run before this point? and if yes what does that mean on systems where it might be able to run enough code (e.g. get to this point) before the vblank interrupt has triggered? What is it waiting for? It could wait for timer, in this case you need timer.device working. VBlank is currently needed for exec's quantum counter. In current native ports we have only a single timer, which is served by timer.device. VBlank is simulated by timer.device also. If your machine has two timers, then you can use one of them for VBlank, and another for timer.device, this will simplify things down. VBlank needs to be 50 Hz for historical reasons, many programs use it as cheap timer. I am periodically thinking about making some abstract mechanism to be able to change quantum source (and untie it from 50 Hz), but have no time to come up with something good. Additionally i started disliking timer.device hardcoded design when PC has got many timers (old 8253, APIC, HPET).
Currently i think there should be some low-level entity representing tick source. timer.device should just select the most appropriate source for its units.
The BCM2835 has 4 GPU based timer sources - 2 are used by the GPU, so im using Timer3 for our heartbeat and the remaining one will be free to the system. There is also the less capable ARM timer but that is dependent on the CPU frequency. Very good. You won't need any emulation. Set the heartbeat to 50 Hz and drive VBlank from it. Use other timer for MicroHZ.

Can you use the 'econsole.hook' I make for debugging the Sam460 via the serial port?
It provides a before-anything-else shell prompt on the serial port.  You can then do 'NewCLI' to test your graphics, or use any DOS command in shellcommands.resource.

You should just be able to add econsole.hook to your module list, and use 'econsole' in your bootargs.

So long as you have a working Exec/RawMayGetChar and Exec/RawPutChar, it should work.

Also make sure to add shell.resource and shellcommands.resource for this.

That should have done it.

If you set &quot;#define DEBUG 1&quot; in  arch/all-native/econsole/econsole.c, do you get any additional serial output?

have added it to the build and added econsole to the command line - and can see the bootloader picks up on the emergency bootconsole tag, but I still only get the insert bootable media display?

Im assuming it exposes a fake filesystem that tricks aros into booting?
The contents of which are: ECON:AROS.boot

Way to handle the scheduling code? The implementations I had been following were causing problems, due to cascading interrupts which I cant handle properly in the asm stubs just now (when they break disable etc.) - since it means detecting the interrupted codes cpu mode and getting the correct sp/lr for it, and that's just too tedious for arm.
 
To work around this ive added a system idle task which does nothing - and when the scheduling code has no task to run switches this in and lets it run, thereby allowing the interrupts etc to resume until something does need to happen.
 
Also, by adding accounting code to cpu_Switch() and cpu_Dispatch(), it should allow the system to log idle time correctly (as well as running tasks).
 
have thought of also adding an additional task that never runs, solely to record time spent in IRQ handlers, but I digress..

was under the impression that kernel.resource should *never* be used outside of exec.library. This is a wrong impression.
Michal started designing it because portable nature of AROS does not fit well into exec's API with all its assumptions. So, he started the new, hardware-agnostic kernel API from scratch. Yes, exec sits on top of it in places. But kernel always meant to be open thing. Otherwise it would not exist. 
it wasn't meant to be just used willy nilly by user code - but by lower system components (e.g. exec) so that they could be implemented in a more generic fashion, and the kernel resource itself hide the systems quirks.

Adding new things there perfectly keeps up with our decision to minimize AROS-specific intervention into APIs which can clash with MorphOS/OS4 extensions. We want at least source-level compatibility there. Binary compatibility on PPC would be extremely cool, but at the other hand we have no maintainer for this, as well as their ABIs are a bit weird and far from optimal, especially MorphOS one, because it aims for m68k binary compatibility.
It depends on what exactly is being implemented - there's no reason we should have everything crammed into kernel.resource if it doesn't need to be (i.e. if its better suited as a separate component/subsystem in its own right)

The _LE versions are for when you have endian swapping taking place.  If the graphics are the same endian as the CPU, no swapping should occur.  I ran into a similar terminology problem in SDL with a friend insisting that his Radeon 7000 on his PC was big-endian.  It is not, it just uses the same endianness for the graphics card and the CPU so no swapping was necessary.  They were both little-endian.
The _LE versions are because the PixFmts refer to the bitmap data being in big endian format in memory, for which the normal version would need to do endianness conversion before applying the shifts/masks. on this platform it is in _LE in memory also so we don't need the conversion hence using the _LE version of the call). would use _LE (if it's really little endian 16 bit mode).

 
What is the bare minimum needed to implement a framebuffer based gfx driver, with our software handling the rest?
 
I have tried with just a gfx class that only expose new/dispose/newbitmap - and having an onscreenbitmap used only for the framebuffer itself (with all other bitmaps being chunkybm, and the framebuffer's superclass also being chunkybm), but that alone isn't enough it seems?
You can use workbench/hidds/sm502/ as your example - it is as simple as I could make it.
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

I so far have -:
 
vc_init: queries the gpus memory, and sets up a fake memory handler for it, then adds the bootmode driver and  returns saying all is well
vc_gfxhidd:New: sets up some fake syncmodes to test with and creates the real gfx object.
vc_gfxhidd:NewBitmap: checks if its a framebuffer and uses the onbitmap class or uses the chunkybm class otherwise
vc_onbitmap:New; creates a chunkybm object and then pushes the real framebuffer address into it as the buffer,
 
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

The code I currently have on SVN seems to create the framebuffers bitmap object fine, but then crashes in intuitions DisplayDriver callback.  In particular it crashes performing the getattr on the system default pointer.
don't expose MEMF_CHIP in an allocatable form so AllocSpriteData was failing (and other code later doesn't check if the values are valid == illegal memory accesses)

Actually MEMF_CHIP has to present, for historical reasons.
This has been never fully agreed upon, but in ports i wrote i exposed the whole memory as MEMF_CHIP. The idea behind this is that CHIP is originally the memory where graphics and sound data can be put. On non-Amiga platforms there are no restrictions on this, so the whole memory is CHIP.
Yes, many old software can misbehave with CHIP memory size larger than 2MB. But this actually applies only to m68k AROS which is going to run m68k binaries. In other cases it's quite logical to fix the program when porting.

As to original question: yes, it's enough to have a framebuffer bitmap (one with aoHidd_BitMap_FrameBuffer set to TRUE) and PutPixel routine. It framebuffer can be served by chunky bitmap class, then you can simply create chunky bitmap with your own buffer (see how VESA driver does this). Chunky PutPixel is already there.

struggling to determine what is the correct pixfmt to use for the 24/16/15 bit gfx modes on the RasPi.  AFAIK it uses RGB565, for 16bit but im unsure what shifts etc should go with it? suffice to say Im getting the wrong colors so far lol.

&lt;pre&gt;
redmask: 0x0000F800
greenmask: 0x000007E0
bluemask: 0x0000001F
alphamask: 0

redshift: 16
greenshift: 21
blueshift: 27
alphashift: 0
&lt;/pre&gt;

It should likely be vHidd_StdPixFmt_RGB16_LE

This stuff is a bit confusing.  The &quot;names&quot; of the stdpixfmts are based on the layout in memory,
ignoring endianess. So for example:

ARGB32: will be 0xAA 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB in memory on both big endian and little endian machines.

The shifts and masks OTOH are based on pixel access (ULONG in this case), so differ depending
on whether you run on big endian machine or little endian machine (that's why there's stdpixfmt_le.h and
stdpixfmt_be.h in rom/hidds/graphics/).

With the 16 bit pixel format it's even more confusing, as for example it's impossible on little endian machine
to describe RGB16 with shifts/masks alone. That's why there's vHidd_PixFmt_SwapPixelBytes_Flag.
(RGB16 == RRRRRGGG GGGBBBBB in memory, and for pixel (WORD) access on little endian machine it needs to
be accessed as GGGBBBBBRRRRRGGGG).

The shifts btw indicate how much to shift the component to the left (!) so that it is moved to the highest bit (31).

The aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you specify will be ignored most of the time, because when the pixelfmt is registered,
the gfx hidd checks if there's an identical pixfmt (shifts/masks/etc., but ignoring pixfmt-&gt;stdpixfmt) already in the system,
and if so, it uses the already existing one and does not create a new one.

In theory it would be better if gfx drivers could simply/only specify a StdPixFmt without all the shifts/masks stuff when the
gfx driver uses pixfmt which matches one of the stdpixfmts exactly. Another possibility would be for gfx drivers to use
HIDD_Gfx_GetPIxFmt(stdpixfmt_gfx_driver_wants_to_use) and then peek shifts/masks from it and fill out a pixfmt
tag list based on that.
15bit very blue/green: Try to pass same shifts/masks/etc. as in 16 bit pixfmt (maybe you think it's using 15 bit R5G5B5
(or swapped) but it's actually still using 16 bit R5G6B5 (or swapped).
 aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you pass is mostly ignored. It's the shift/masks/etc. that count.
But I would still pass the correct one (_LE) == whatever rom/hidds/graphics/stdpixfmts_??.h uses
in the entry where you have looked up shifts/masks/etc.

Use the shifts/masks/etc. from the entry in stdpixfmt_le.h (if you are running on little endian machine) or stdpixfmt_be.h (if you
are running on little endian machine) that matches the pixfmt that its meant to be.

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

it feels like AROS trashes the alpha component, otherwise it should be 8A8R8G8B.

read on the subject suggest its in 1x5r5g5b (x is ignored) to keep 16bit alignment .
 
What I see on screen suggests to me that wrong shift/mask are being applied - however going by the 16bit versions it all looks correct to me so I am really confused as to what is happening.
 
The output image looks to have too much green/blue, and very weak red.

Why did usbromstartup become HW-specific ?
In  the  past i have done a big job separating kickstart into several parts. I have never got any responses, so i re-describe my idea.

For now it loads the hs otg chipset driver ..

The  idea  is  to minimize amount of archirecture-specific modules to
    make   user's  life  easier.  So,  the kickstart was split into 'base'
    (which  does  not  contain anything machine-specific) and 'BSP' (Board
    Support Package) which contains all hardware-specific stuff.
     This  way,  for  example, distribution makers can save up space on CD
    and  make  CDs with multiple platform support. Different configuration
    would load the same base with different BSP's.
     Next  there  was some part which is entirely missing on hosted. These
    are   filesystems.  Hosted  ports  do  not need them to boot up, so on
    hosted   they  are  left  out.  At  the  other  hand,  they  are  also
    architecture-agnostic.  So  i put them into 'FS' package (standing for
    'filesystem').

     Poseidon  is  one  more  big part. I made it into separate package in
    order to allow users to omit it if they don't need it (for example, to
    run  on retro PCs without USB). Personally i have one. Again, Poseidon
    is  hardware-agnostic (well, there are USB drivers but HCIs are pretty
    standard).

It's mandatory on PI since there are no other interface types - so being a separate package is irrelevant/pointless.

Is Raspberry's USB controller non-HCI compliant? Actually i expect it to be compliant, then wouldn't it be better to make existing drivers discovering them? 
 
AFAIK its HCI 1.0 compliant but I'm not familiar enough with poseidons drivers, nor USB, to just hack away at the existing code.  Perhaps once i'm more familiar with the workings I can merge in the changes needed to get it operating but for now I will focus on getting it running.  Also our drivers have known issues so perhaps a fresh set of eyes might shed some light on what is going wrong.

Another interesting question is whether Poseidon can operate on device side. Is it flexible enough? How similar is being a USB host and USB device? think it will need a bit of work on Poseidon's side.  Until then I will force the driver into Host/Master mode in the init code, but leave open device etc to configure the chipset for either's use - and look at trying to add support for working in Device/Slave mode &amp; switching modes once it's up and running.

Actually USBROMStartup is some kind of kludge. Can there be any alternative? Could device drivers be self-installing, like our HIDDs? This would get rid of need to list them in USBRomStartup.

And there is one more thing about modular ports. In order to actually implement this, your bootstrapping environment should provide the ability to load several files. On PC this is provided by GRUB2. on CHRP you can read filesystem via OpenFirmware, and Sam's Parthenope relies on modified u-boot. If your bootstrap allows to load only a single file, then you stuck with monolithic kickstart. By the way...  u-boot allows not only to boot up a single uImage or zImage, it also allows to write client programs AFAIK. With this approach, you actually can write modular bootstrap for ARM AROS using unmodified u-boot.

hdmi issues

Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there.

You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal.

If the display is a computer monitor or newer tv, use hdmi_group=1 (auto HDMI use) and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2 (for DMT formats, i.e. for PC monitors) then you HAVE to &quot;set hdmi_drive = 2 to enable HDMI output as this forces HDMI mode rather than DVI mode

Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options.

Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1 A and not 500 mA.
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost

There are several different ways that these 4 pole (ring) composite analog cables can be wired up, so some work great in some applications and can be a waste of time in others.

What is needed for the Raspberry Pi B+ and above, which like many camcorders needs the ring contact next to the base contact to be the ground.

The wiring for the 4 pole are:

TIP (LEFT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 1 (RIGHT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 2 (GROUND/EARTH)

RING 3 BASE/SLEEVE (VIDEO) YELLOW

Most Apple based Players and the Microsoft Zune (TM) are wired this way.

Most analogue camcorders are wired this way as well, where the ground in on Ring 2 will work with the Pi although you may need to swap your Video plug with the Right Audio plug.

Nearly all other MP3 players are not wired this way, the ground is on another ring ie the wrong one.

It can be a bad 15-pin FFC ribbon cable, when swapped, camera(s) and the Pi itself are working OK. It can be an instance of a cold solder joint on the CSI connector on the pi board.  the camera can be detected (that's done via I2C) but may still not be able to receive image data (done via CSI-2) if something is broken. CSI-2 is uni-directional. Control is generally done via I2C. 
The CSI-2 receiver always writes to memory, not direct to the ISP. That's the way the Broadcom architecture works as it allows multipass processing easily. GPU memory is accessible from the ARM. Processing using the QPU graphics processors may be possible.  currently the only supported sensor is OV5647 and IMX219.  The linux drivers are all in the firmware blob, else you'd  be looking at at least a man-month of work in a fully fledged imaging lab to do a decent tuning of the camera modules' ISP parameters. 
Static electricity maybe an issue for the camera module and slightly less for the pi board.

I was looking a way to use more my Handheld ARM based called Pyra (Dragonbox Pyra) an ARM (Omap5 cpu with 4GB ram) linux based machine (Debian Buster v10 with kernel 5.6.19 adapted) and have a try to compile the latest Aros sources by Deadwood directly on this device.
Compilation stops after build libpopupmenu.a and trying to build libatomic have this error:

&lt;/pre&gt;


looking at config.log on arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/host/tools/crosstools/gnu/gcc/arm-aros/libatomic

i found that arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf/arm-aros-ld: cannot find -laeabi
so i do make linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick
and the missing lib was built.

now the next stop is at
fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
and
fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
in many places so after checking that i have this missing include files i have noted that my include path is a bit different, standard searching path is /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf but in my system is /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
so if i add my path to some mmakefiles compilation goes on....but is a better way to add this path to avoid every mmakefiles to be changed?
i fixed with adding
-I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
to where is missing on mmakefiles like
USER_INCLUDES := -isystem $(GENINCDIR) -I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

P.s. I have changed many mmakefiles and have at least compiled (after many hours) the toolchain doing make every time in arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build (also have to disable making tests under cplusplus but don't remember the directory ...) but i ask an help to have an automated way to correctly build without modify mmakefiles.


Last time I built armhf target was around 2 years ago. At that point I built is via cross-compilation from linux (ubuntu 22.04) using linux armhf crosscompiler (this can explain the path differences you are experiencing) as well as using AROS gcc cross-compiler in version 6.5.0 (build with option 21) in rebuild.sh). Since then AROS GCC has been updated to 10.5.0 and I don't believe anyone tried to build the armhf target again.

My suggestion would be to downgrade GCC to 6.5.0 (via editing AROS/config/gcc_def file) and try to first build using cross-compilation from x86_64 linux. Once that works, you will have a &quot;template&quot; to compare to native compilation under arm linux.


Thanks for your suggestion...but i think the toolchain with GCC 10.5.0 is compilable if i found a way to pass the path of my system to the script that build (option 21 on rebuild).
The other only changes are (but i don't know where to modify...) is to add the build of libaeabi and disable the building of some tests under cplusplus that use exceptions and is not supported under ARM.
I'll try to crosscompile with my Linux amd64 PC.

For paths look into core-linux-armhf/bin/linux-armhf/gen/config/target.cfg. A number of build-wide variable is set there containing paths to local build system. These variables and the target.cfg file are generated by AROS ./configure script.

Thanks compilation now go forward...i changed target.cfg under &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/config&quot; and do make on &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build&quot; dir.

Now i need to find where to enable build libaeabi.a so i can build the entire toolchain with option 21 of rebuild.sh


I found something that looks like libeabi in AROS/arm-all/arm-aeabi/mmakefile.src. Try adding a third line there:

#MM- linklibs-armhd : libklibs-aeabi-arm

Though I don't remember needing this library. Possibly the 6.5.0 GCC somehow does this while 10.5.0 is missing this.


I try adding this line (and the variant &quot;linklibs-armhf&quot; instead of hd) but it did not solve the automatic building of the missing lib. I must do &quot;linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick&quot;.
Anyway after have build the aeabi lib i succefully built the toolchain (after many hours...). Smile

To test I restarted from selecting option 21 (on rebuild.sh) but after many hours i get the same error of the kernel includes not found...maybe i need to modify the configure script for my case.

With the toolchain built i try to build the core-linux-armhf (DEBUG) (option 22) but after a while it stopped with
&quot;cannot find -laeabi &quot; so i made it built manually...and now i can continue compiling...i'll let you know if all goes ok.

==Introduction==

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a charity founded in May 2009 to promote the study of basic computer science in schools, and is responsible for developing a single-board computer called the Raspberry Pi.

The Foundation is supported by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and Broadcom. Its aim is to &quot;promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.&quot;

The original Raspberry Pi 1 Model B computer went on sale in February 2012 and set a new standard shattering the dominance of the PC in the home and education markets. Millions in the various formats, A, B, A+, B+ and Compute have since been shipped worldwide. The original concept of the Raspberry Pi was for a computer board providing Internet access with up to 1080p HD graphics at very low cost. The boards provide a platform for children and adults from any background to acquire computer science knowledge and help develop the future World-Wide-Web and all things internet (IOT hub and bridges out to home network to cloud of sensors).

Hobbyists and tech dabblers/tinkerers are the main purchases of the Pis (around half).

The rest of the sales are split between education/industrial. While the Raspberry Pi boards were designed primarily for education, they have become very popular with manufacturers of embedded systems. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has ensured backwards compatibility with each new revision. The bare-bones Compute module is aimed specifically at the OEM manufacturer.

The overclock ability has diminished with each chip version as the energy usage has very slowly risen. BCM2837 is one of the warmest yet and might benefit from active cooling (ie fan) if all four cpu cores are in use for a short while. Video playback is not affected due to the custom support in the GPU. 5 V / 2.4 or 2.5 amp power supply recommended if all four cpu cores are running, else throttling (cpu slowdown) might occur.

==Implemented so far...==

# Modify the configure system so that it correctly builds for the arm hardware float raspi target.
# Implemented the bootstrap to load the aros modules and prepare the arm to jump into them. Reworked the x86 console support so that parts can be stolen for raspi to use since t has no basic functionality to output to the display.
# Implemented a kernel.resource to prepare the raspi for running aros and provide the low level api calls to expose available resources and allow exec, etc function.
# Implemented serial debug support
# Implemented the exec (and kernel) functionality required to make multitasking work (and interrupts, exceptions, syscalls, etc)
# Implemented a timer.device to utilise the hardware timers.
# Implemented a very basic gfx driver to expose the hardware's framebuffer.
# Implemented an SD-Card driver for AROS which presently only supports the raspi's chipset but can easily be modified to support all sd-card hardware and media.
# Fixed the fat filesystem support in AROS so that it can boot on RasPi's normal SD-Card setup. The &quot;rom&quot; image files needed use a different filename than the default linux, etc images so can be easily installed without harming the existing files - you only need to change the loaded images in the config file to get aros to boot.
# Updated the build scripts to automatically download the necessary raspi firmware files and wrap it all up so that you can simply extract the archive to a fat formatted sdcard and boot it on the raspi without having to get anything else.
# fix everything in contrib and ports to build for raspi (needs proper testing/fixes but allows every component to actually compile at least, including owb) + numerous other fixes to get things working on arm/raspi ..


Improvements...

# Implement a USB chipset driver &quot;OR&quot; finish the existing one [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/c07d13c724f944674be5db54fc6a71ee72a01809 usb otg] - the current code is mostly a skeleton that should initialise the chipset and then needs relevant code to support the different transfer types. It also has the &quot;virtual&quot; hub code in place to represent the raspi's USB port (from poseidons p.o.v) 
# Implement a driver for the USB NIC (a few weeks - depends on USB above) 
# Write an [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/d55d0f74d20b769bbb8c8d386e5c1d7a9154f05a audio driver] (a few weeks - independent of USB) and [https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/commit/e93a4c245f27a87c9c4c1d39206694b39059998a HDMI]
# fix syscall bug in the current raspi kernel code
# Graphics depend on having a decent &quot;bcmdma.resource&quot; implemented as to use the cpu's dma engine. The sd card driver needs to use it for transfers to/from the controller - and the gfx system needs to use it for &quot;blitting&quot;.

===Boot up ===

On power-up, the rpi [http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/ BCM 2835] [https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv VideoCore4] GPU, not the ARM CPU, is in control, and the SD card slot is the only peripheral device with power. The firmware burned into the BCM2835's VideoCoreIV GPU PROM requires a DOS-style partition table; a FAT-formatted first partition; and the freely redistributable but closed sourced Broadcom files “bootcode.bin” and “start.elf” in that partition.

The boot sequence carries out several pre-boot tasks

*On powering of the rpi, the GPU reads and executes bootcode.bin, which then loads start.elf 
*The GPU loads the “start.elf” file, eventually, into the L2 cache and then executes it
*configures the memory split for the CPU and GPU
*reads and parses “config.txt” from the same partition on the SD card and applies the settings (like a PC’s BIOS settings)
*loads the “kernel.img” file, again from the same partition
*activates the CPU to begin executing the loaded kernel image

The CPU/GPU memory split is hard-coded into start.elf, so Broadcom provides three start.elf images, to give 32M, 64M, or 128M to the GPU for multimedia performance, and the remainder to the CPU.

RPi uses [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware some closed source loaders] and at some point it loads a binary blob named &quot;kernel.img&quot; at 0x8000, at that point there would be a rudimentary Aros alive. If one wants to use the SD-card then there would have to be a driver for the interface and a fat filesystem handler (SD-card has to be formatted to fat filesystem)

Boot code and kernel are now linked together and made into that binary blob, just for starters. Raspberry Pi uses [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=133 u-boot] and [http://kernelnomicon.org/?p=138 UBoot] as bootloader, there's already some code in the Efika MX port for that. UBoot is a native bootloader and not just for the raspberry pi, it loads after start.elf.

You can find Efika MX port from arch implementations, some hacking is needed for the mmakefile.src'es as iit dates back to before the Aros crosstool era or else you get some weird errors while building. You also need to code the bootstrap and serial handling.

At the moment it seems that a fastest route for the native build would be to make one binary blob without using the package system. Raspberry's memory layout is pretty simple and if the implemented u-boot doesn't support loading other modules

===Framebuffer - basic display===

RasPi has to speak to the &quot;operating system&quot; which runs on the GPU itself and request/free memory - it cant directly manage it itself, and so the managed functions were used to wrap these calls.

The Arm and GPU share memory space. The framebuffer is shared. The Arm can write a pixel and it will appear on the screen (through GPU hardware) without flushing/copying being required.

The GPU can composite multiple FB's in real time - so you have a number of surfaces defined which are rotated etc and  composited in real time to the output. Copying can map from the address space of the Arm to the flat space of the GPU which takes some code, but I don't think whole buffers are copied.

The DMA hardware can also access the whole memory space and can perform 2D fills and blits (no blending). This is documented in the peripheral spec posted. The DMA is just an Arm accessible peripheral and can be set up with low latency (e.g. microseconds).
must use a 0xc0000000-based bus address to access SDRAM, yet non-DMA access should go via a 0x0-based bus address. 
For 2D dma, set TDMODE, and the spec says &quot;interpret the TXFR_LEN register as YLENGTH number of transfers each of XLENGTH, and add the strides to the address after each transfer.&quot; so set STRIDE to pitch of the image, the width is XLENGTH and height is YLENGTH. You would fill by not setting the SRC_INC and point source to your fill data.

The DMA cannot see the ARM's L1 cache, so you would map the framebuffer with ioremap_nocache. Depending on where the source data comes from, it may need an L1 cache flush. The DMA can see the L2 cache. Use 0xC0000000 bus addresses when L2 is disabled and 0x40000000 bus addresses when L2 is enabled. (actually just call virt_to_bus and you'll get the right address out).

openGLES/openVG has high latency. Writing to framebuffer then reading it back is very inefficient (e.g. milliseconds). If you can drive it a unidirectional way, just streaming commands at then that is efficient. openVG is not implemented on top of openGLES - it uses the same hardware but as a first class interface

To improve the Gfx driver, we will need a DMA resource implemented so can use to perform DMA operations. The Gfx driver will need this to perform blits.

===USB ===

* Model A and B limited to 150 mA per port. 
* Model B+ and Pi 2 introduced configurable 600 mA to 1.2 A support over all ports - anything above that requires a powered USB hub.

Implementing the hardware driver that Poseidon uses to interact with the USB components.

Have code in place to (try) and initialise the USB chipset, and configure host/device mode operation (though AFAICT Poseidon doesn't support device mode). Started to get the &quot;virtual&quot; root hub written for the single USB port so that Poseidon should at least list it correctly in the GUI - and try to interact with it to find peripherals.


The BCM2835 uses a soft IP block from Synopsys’ DesignWare library (DWC), specifically the block is called dwc_usb_2_0_hs_otg_subsystem-ahb_se (“USB 2.0 Hi-Speed OTG Controller Subsystem w/AHB Interface SE”).

There is no public documentation for this, and pretty much zero chance of anyone getting hold of it even with NDA. However, there's a Linux driver written by Synopsys ([https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux dwc_usb]). Specifically directories [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_common_port] and [https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/drivers/usb/host dwc_otg].

The Synopsys code is actually under a fairly permissive licence – it's not GPL, it's similar to BSD (’don't sue us if it breaks’ is pretty much the only clause). So this should not be a barrier to porting the code.

The code is really well written, with a nice partition between the work done by the driver (dwc_otg, which is fairly involved, given the host does more work than a conventional EHCI driver), and the interface to Linux (dwc_common_port).

Probably only need provision of relevant changes to dwc_common_port. Other things to consider....

* Provision of necessary headers to get it to compile
* Provision of necessary functions (main issues are wait queues, threads, work queues, tasklets, timers, spinlocks and mutexes (multithreading) )
* Interfacing between USB stack and the driver. dwc_otg/dwc_otg_hcd_linux.c looks like the place to start.

the Linux bits of the headers are only required for the dwc_common_port library. dwc_common_port includes a variety of crypto functions which are not used – it appears to also be used for ultrawideband (UWB) and wireless USB (WUSB) drivers where crypto will be an issue, but it isn't going to be for plain wired USB.

Every USB driver acts as an USB hub as well in order to let Poseidon control the state of USB ports. The code there was reading status of the only USB port in Raspberry's CPU but when changing the status it erroneously deleted some of the status bits, including the port enable one. It was so because those bits in the status register are of a type Read/WriteToClear. It means, if one does not want to change their value from 1 back to 0, one has to actually write the 0 value. Very practical thing e.g. in interrupt handlers, where one reads the interrupt status register to learn what was the interrupt reason, and writes it back to the same register in order to clear the interrupts. 

After fixing that code it turned out that the communication was still unsuccessful. Apparently the USB device was not understanding the host for some reason. That should not happen since the request sent was one of the standard ones implemented by virtually anything with an USB connector, assumed that Poseidon clears the data caches before forwarding the work to the USB drivers but that's the responsibility of the driver itself. 

The USB device responded and acknowledged the transmission! But why were all the request sent after address change failing with timeout? They should not. Once again, address set is supported just by anything. Tried to contact the device at address 0 once again and there it was, still responding properly. The enlightenment came. The bus address for DMA transmissions was, as it is in many bare metal USB implementations, just the pure memory address of the buffer as seen by the ARM cpu. Have &quot;prefixed&quot; it with the real location of uncached RAM and booted AROS once again.

What are these things? The first one is USB hub built in the Raspberry. Thanks to this one the Pi machines (with exception of Pi0 and computing modules) have more than just one single USB port. The second one is the network chip in raspberry, the third one is my USB SD card reader which have just connected to see what happens. AROS tried, of course, to boot from it ;)

So, the first step towards working USB is done. The control transfers are working as you can see above. Next step is to implement bulk and interrupt transfers, having the basics in place. Finally some error handling will be added and USB for Pi will be as complete as the PC version.

===Audio ===

To follow...

[https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-patches/sound/arm audio] and its [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/2 very high speed message passing interface type of thing VCHI]

The Model B+ added an additional voltage regulator for the audio output and an additional output driver to drive low-resistance loads like headphones. However it is still using pulse-width modulation (PWM), which has a major impact on sound quality

the old Raspberry Pi used a linear voltage regulator to provide the 3.3V to many of the components on the board while the new one uses a switching regulator. Both can perform reasonably well. However switch mode power supplies often show higher noise figures

GPIO shouldn't be too bad but bear in mind it is already accessed in places so they would need to allocate pins etc through it (e.g. sdcard to flicker the activity light, serial debug to output data on the GPIO pins)

Probably a resource rather than a device...

Started an i2c driver that will need to allocate GPIO pins. Feel free to work on it if you are interested ;p

The status of AROS native for RasPi was OK. System booting, USB working (although with some issues but plan to fix them). Got stuck on modifying the ABI (application binary interface) and adjusting binutils/gcc to support it wanted to have real executable files but got stuck a little. This change for the type of relocations embedded in ARM files and not sure if this very type is well supported, on the other hand without this change ARM version of AROS wouldn't work well. By reverting the change to ABI we could have a (somehow) working AROS on RasPi, but unfortunately still unstable.

# download/checkout the source someplace, e.g. /build/AROS-Src/
# make a directory to store external sources AROS downloads, e.g. /build/Ports
# make a build directory, e.g. /build/aros-raspi-armhf
# cd into the build dir, configure, and then run make -:

&lt;pre&gt;
&gt;cd /build/aros-raspi-armhf
&gt;/build/AROS-Src/configure --target=raspberrypi-armhf --with-serial-debug --enable-ccache --with-portssources=/build/Ports
&gt;make
&gt;make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

then copy the files from /build/aros-raspi-armhf/bin/raspi-armhf/AROS/ onto an sdcard, and download/copy the Raspi firmware files onto it.

You should then be able to boot the sdcard on your RasPi.

The current W.I.P tree to svn. it can be built as follows ..
&lt;pre&gt;
./configure --target=raspi-armhf
make arosboot-raspi
&lt;/pre&gt;

That will generate arosraspi.img, arosraspi.rom and config.txt in bin/raspi-arm/AROS - so either copy just those files to a fat formatted SD card (with the firmware files on), or copy the whole contents of the AROS folder.

NB - if you have a Linux/other install, backup the existing config.txt first

arosraspi.img contains the bootstrap (which has very basic mailbox code, framebuffer/gpio init, and console &quot;emulation&quot; via code pinched from our libbootconsole), kernel.resource, and exec.library

arosraspi.rom contains all the other components needed to boot AROS.

The config.txt file will tell the RasPI bootstrap to load our arosraspi kernel and ramdisk (rom).

the bootstrap has minimal mailbox code, planning on adding either a resource or library that driver/app code will use to access it (likewise for GPIO)

Ubuntu VM approach to compiling [http://lallafa.de/blog/2013/06/building-aros-hosted-for-raspbian/ Linux hosted AROS June 04, 2013]

 ../AROS/configure --target=linux-armhf  --enable-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-includes=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include --x-libraries=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib

arm-elf- is symbol-linked to arm-linux-gnueabi- (arm-linux-gnueabi- is more correct in this case, because it's going to be compiling the ARM AROSBootstrap for ARM Linux)

*armel - many of the &quot;android&quot; machines require since the entire OS is made for soft float VFP. 
*armfp - Efika MX target, Raspberry PI, EfikaMX, Pandora and virtually everything (VFP)

Keep in mind it's possible to start hardfp AROS hosted on softfp system, though, as long as no calls between AROS and host require floating point parameters. NOTE: hardfloat objects *cannot* be linked with softfloat objects - they have a different ABI.

Just keep in mind the arm nightly build machine is quite complex beast. It needs the x86_64 host compiler to compile AROS tools. The arm version is built every night using gcc-4.6.2 crosscompiler (built together with AROS) and successfully builds armel and armhf linux hosted targets.

*needs an AROS code compiler for ARM target 
*as well as unix compiler for ARM linux host (would be best to have both softfp and armhf, we have softfp only now) with full set of libraries and includes.

with—disable-crosstools  $AROS_CC  is always a wrapper around $KERNEL_CC  ?  If  so,  this  is  wrong for some ports. This can break Darwin, Windows and Android port. 
Yes,  Android  port  will  build.  And  even  work. But it's not good because  the  port  will  not  be ABI-compatible with other ARM ports. Android's ABI is different from GNUEABI. For example:

&lt;pre&gt;
enum test {foo, bar};
enum test testvar;
&lt;/pre&gt;

siseof(testvar)  will  be  equal  to sizeof(int) in GNUEABI (Linux and AROS)  and  sizeof(short)  on  Android. This affects linking objects from static linklibs, for example.

Previously everything worked because $AROS_CC was a wrapper on top of $HOST_CC. And a real crosscompiler was used on non-ELF hosts.

Android is the same. $KERNEL_CC is incompatible with AROS.

compiler=kernel  is  appropriate _ONLY FOR CODE WHICH RUNS ON HOST OS_ (or  barebone  hardware,  if  we  talk  about  native).  This includes bootstraps,  their  linklibs, and host-side dynamic libraries (Windows makes extensive use of them because of architectural considerations.

No single AROS object should be compiled with this setting. $KERNEL_CC is really compatible with AROS *ONLY IN LINUX-HOSTED* and no more. On other systems (Darwin, Windows,  Android) this is not true any more, and compiler=kernel is never going to work.

If  you  want  to  compile your AROS module against host OS includes, append  the  following  to  USER_INCLUDES  (or  USER_CFLAGS,  this  is effectively the same):

 -isystem $(GENINCDIR) $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

$(KERNEL_INCLUDES) expands to:

 -isystem  &lt;your_os_includes&gt;  -isystem  &lt;host_OS_gcc_private_includes&gt;
 -nostdinc

This makes AROS compiler adhering to host OS APIs.

If you want some preprocessor symbols based on what your host OS actually is, add something like -DHOST_OS_$(AROS_HOST_ARCH).

Why is there $(GENINCDIR) at all? Because host OS has its own libc includes, which would conflict with AROS ones. And the host OS libc is not binary-compatible with AROS one.

Why doesn't Windows-hosted port use $(KERNEL_INCLUDES) ? Because WinAPI includes conflict with AROS ones in fundamental typedefs, like WORD, BYTE and BOOL. It's almost impossible to deal with this in any other way than rewriting WinAPI definitions using AROS types.

Building under centos 6.3 (i386) currently, and AROS creates the toolchain itself. haven't yet committed the necessary changes but &quot;./configure --target=raspi-armhf&quot; is enough to start, then &quot;make arosboot-raspi&quot; will generate arosraspi.img (containing the bootstrap, kernel.resource, and exec.library) as well as arosraspi.rom (containing all the other essentials components such as dos, graphics etc).  It will also copy over a config.txt file to make the raspi bootstrap code load the correct kernel, and a cmdline.txt that enables exec debug output.

=== Core Kernel ===

the reason behind INTB_KERNEL is to allow use of the standard Exec function AddIntServer() to add interrupt handlers for
hardware drivers etc. AmigaOS never used it for abstract hardware drivers. AmigaOS  routed  only  raw  hardware IRQs there. Their assignment was hardcoded. As well as number of them. Actually on AmigaOS every bus has its own interrupt subsystem. For example PCI bus. PCI interrupts on Amiga are routed to a single exec interrupt.  1:1 relationship between CPU  and hardware interrupts is present only on PC.

IMHO we miss things like AddInterrupt/RemInterrupt methods on our PCI subsystem's device class.  PCI bus class should map these methods to whatever is appropriate. This is how it is done on AmigaOS and friends. When these are implemented, raw kernel.resource API will be needed only for several PC-specific drivers with hardwired resources. Exec IRQs are real IRQs only on Amiga hardware. On other machines they can be emulated where appropriate (VBlank is a good example). kernel.resource is meant  to be different, its IRQs are hardware-agnostic, they are plain &quot;Hardware IRQ number X, whatever this means&quot;. They are low-level actually, and meaningful only in the context of a particular system.

Was that not the transition from irq.hidd to kernel.resource? No.  A long time ago there was another hacky bit named INTB_TIMERTICK. It was &quot;abstract timer interrupt&quot;, used by timer.device. It was the same as VBlank, but with larger frequency. I removed it, because kernel.resource API was a cleaner way to access this interrupt. Furthermore, there can be more than one timer in the system. I am even thinking about bringing back timer HIDD definitions again. hpet.resource is a bad idea.

Can someone please enlighten me a little on how the scheduler is meant to work?
 
Poseidon.library creates its &quot;Poseidon Event Task&quot; during RTF_COLDSTART -&gt; then calls Wait(), and ends up in limbo because wait disables interrupts (used for the scheduler heartbeat), and basically waits forever because the sigbit is never set, since krnSwitch doesn't switch the task unless TF_SWITCH is set, and no codepath run during this seems to set it?? TF_SWITCH does not disable/enable switching. This flag just enables to run user-supplied hook when the task is being switched away. It is completely safe to call Wait() in Disable()d state. Doing this actually temporarily breaks this state. IDNestCnt gets remembered in struct Task, then next task is selected, and its IDNestCnt is restored in sysbase (see kernel_scheduler.c). If there are no other tasks, then your cpu_Dispatch() should enable interrupts on the CPU and enter idle mode. See x86 implementation for good example.

You miss what happens next...
 1. KrnSwitch() saves context of your task, saves IDNestCnt (core_Switch() and cpu_Switch()), then drops into cpu_Dispatch().
 2. cpu_Dispatch() calls core_Dispatch. Then two cases are possible:
 2a. There is a READY task. It is picked up, its IDNestCnt is restored in SysBase, then cpu_Dispatch() needs to restore registers and exit. The next task is run.
 2b. There are no READY tasks. core_Dispatch() returns NULL. In this case your cpu_Dispatch() should enter idle loop. It should just enable interrupts on the CPU and put it on halt. This allows it to process hardware interrupts. Eventually some of your interrupt handlers wakes up your task and puts it into READY list.

My heartbeat interrupt has been slowed atm to help debugging - but it never actually gets a chance to fire because of the Wait() disabling interrupts. Perhaps you have forgotten to enable interrupts in your idle loop.

There is a change in the format of AROS executables. Until now we were using Elf RELocable files which are usually used as intermediate object files. We had them for various reasons, one of them was how AROS files were built in the past. That days we had no real aros cross compiler and the option to embed relocation data in unix executables (or in executable files in general) was rather new and not every linux/unix system had it. Therefore we have decided to use intermediate files. Although it was somehow working (and it is still working :-)), it has some drawbacks. Therefore decided to introduce real Elf EXEC types, in first turn implemented on ARM target with option to expand in future to all other AROS architectures.

The first patch was pretty easy and appeared to work somehow. It generated nice executables with embedded relocation info. Not only that, it also removed all global symbols adjusting relocation data to be relative to the beginning of the sections. That move reduced number of symbols in each executable significantly (depending on the file between 20 and 80% of all symbols could be removed). The only symbols that stayed in the file are local ones - due to the nature of the patch wasn't able to remove them since we have not seen them in the symbol hash table.

The patch didn't worked though. The files were relocated, AROS kernel loaded, but it crashed very early. What happened? Well, the nature of ARM relocations happened :)

Most of the relocation data on all machines is rather simple. Relocation can be absolute or pc-relative, sometimes the offset has to be bit shifted. On ARM v7 there is another one. There, when one wants to load an address of function/variable into register a combination of two instructions can be used: movw and movt. The first one loads immediate into lower 16 bits of a register while clearing upper 16 bits. The second one loads immediate into upper 16 bits without touching lower halfword. Loading of a pointer into a register looks like this:

        movw r0, #:lower16:label

        movt   r0, #:upper16:label

In this case there are two relocations - one for lower halfword and another for upper. If an overflow of lower 16 bits occurs during relocation process, the upper one should be updated as well. Unfortunately with current patch and with typical ARM executables there is not enough information to perform the calculations.

There are two options - the first one would be to give up and go back to &quot;fake&quot; executables, another one would be to change from REL to RELA relocation info. The latter contains an addend, extra data which can be used to perform all the relocation calculations I need.

Decided for the second option. The patch is already in the works. There is another function for the binutils' bfd backend to perform the final relocation. There can decide what to do with every reloc info, modify data and eventually strip some symbols. An advantage is - at this stage of the linking process have also full access to all local symbols so can change all relocations section relative and eventually strip all symbols from the files. 

=== GPU ===

Most of start.elf runs on the GPU.   Placing ALL the userland GPU code in the videocore.hidd isn't going to be a terribly big problem because the code they published is nothing more than a shim that sends data straight to the GPU to execute.

The good news about this is that we only need to write our HIDD using the OpenVG API.   The shim is relatively small codewise and lives in the ARM memory (the actual OpenVG code itself lives in the GPU RAM area and its loaded from start.elf).   That's also the bad news.  Our driver has to translate AROS video calls to OpenVG calls, for most tasks it should be easy, for some, not so much.  It's still probably less difficult and less work, than controlling the GPU directly.

The other good news is that anything done through OpenVG happens on the GPU, its truly accelerated.   It also has some nice font functions, meaning we can lead into an accelerated text mode later.

Basically, AROS resets or locks up when it tries to use AROS_ATOMIC_INC or DEC.  If I comment out the byte/word operations in the header files and use non-atomic operations, the code works as expected.
 
have read that the L1 cache needs to be enabled to use LDREX and co (which I also read is only meant to be used on multi processor systems with shared memory) - however I am certain this is correctly enabled.

If you are using LREX or STREX, you should have L1 cache enabled, at least on the ARM CPU I work with at work.

L1 cache is enabled by enabling the MMU *AND* setting the C and I bits in the CPU - the C bit is ignored, and the I bit only covers the 16 byte instruction pipeline if the MMU is not enabled.

Can you verify that your assembly is generating LDREX/STREX? From the behavior, it almost sounds like its generating the default Semaphore locked atomics.
 Impossible. There are no semaphore-locked atomics. There are Disable()/Enable()-based ones instead. And there's a special #define AROS_NO_ATOMIC_OPERATIONS in this case, which tweaks Disable()/Enable() implementations not to recurse forever.
 I have tested this on ARMv5 which does not have ldrex/strex, it works fine. On those ARMs there's no way to have real atomics. On other OSes (like Linux) this is done by introducing things like atomic_t, which appears to be a complex structure, holding the value together with accompanying spinlock (implemented using swp).

    #warning &quot;TODO: lookup optimal mmu table settings for raspi memory&quot;
        /* Set up an identity-mapping for all 4GB */
        for(x = 0; x &lt; 4096; x ++)
        {
            pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | (0x40002|0x80000|0x010000|0x00C00|0x04);
        }

Shouldn't there be a second loop that sets the 'C' bit in the descriptor for the RAM pages?

Currently, you have TEX=0, C=0, B=1 for all pages (Shared Device).

You should have TEX=0, C=1, B=0 for RAM (Write-Through, Cached)

    So ..
     
     pagetable[x] = x&lt;&lt;20 | 2;

     
    should be enough?

No, for RAM you need to change the '| 0x40' to '| 0x80'

tell dosboot the correct defaults to use

Please don't do this. This bootconfig.c is a deprecated legacy thing. I wanted it to go away completely with time. Instead,  display  drivers  should auto-install themselves during own initialization phase. I. e. detect hardware=&gt;instantiate itself. This   should   make  things way simpler. With this approach you only need  to add the driver into KS image to get the device autobooted. No
hardcoded stuff. 
Currently  VESA  and  VGA drivers do this, look there for examples. never rewrote ATI driver because i don't have any test system for it.

they defined a smaller AROSCPUContext than the ExceptionContext - yet reference it as ExceptionContext in other places, and since it hasn't allocated enough storage for ExceptionContext, are corrupting memory/the structure (since the elements that are there don't map 1 to 1 with the exception context).

AFAIK, AROS has been moving in a different direction to this in recent
years. It is the job of graphics HIDDs to allocate bitmaps etc. so that
they have the most suitable characteristics, including allocating them
from GPU RAM where possible. The concept of chip RAM is only for legacy
code, and most if not all non-68k platforms should have all system RAM
marked as chip.

BTW, is the video processing code you mention CPU code or GPU code?

Also, IIRC we have support for &quot;external memory allocators&quot;. Perhaps that's what we need for the allocation of GPU RAM through the mailbox.

All hosted and x86 native ports should use proper context formats.

trying to clarify if the vblank handler has to have run by this point to prevent this deadlock. Actually, no. Unless you have installed VBlank handler which should wake up at some point. Without VBlank there will be no quantum count. Consequently, there will be no forced preemption. But the rest will work, and multitasking will be cooperative (switch happens only when current task voluntarily gives up the CPU). Does it depend on the vblank having run before this point? and if yes what does that mean on systems where it might be able to run enough code (e.g. get to this point) before the vblank interrupt has triggered? What is it waiting for? It could wait for timer, in this case you need timer.device working. VBlank is currently needed for exec's quantum counter. In current native ports we have only a single timer, which is served by timer.device. VBlank is simulated by timer.device also. If your machine has two timers, then you can use one of them for VBlank, and another for timer.device, this will simplify things down. VBlank needs to be 50 Hz for historical reasons, many programs use it as cheap timer. I am periodically thinking about making some abstract mechanism to be able to change quantum source (and untie it from 50 Hz), but have no time to come up with something good. Additionally i started disliking timer.device hardcoded design when PC has got many timers (old 8253, APIC, HPET).
Currently i think there should be some low-level entity representing tick source. timer.device should just select the most appropriate source for its units.
The BCM2835 has 4 GPU based timer sources - 2 are used by the GPU, so im using Timer3 for our heartbeat and the remaining one will be free to the system. There is also the less capable ARM timer but that is dependent on the CPU frequency. Very good. You won't need any emulation. Set the heartbeat to 50 Hz and drive VBlank from it. Use other timer for MicroHZ.

Can you use the 'econsole.hook' I make for debugging the Sam460 via the serial port?
It provides a before-anything-else shell prompt on the serial port.  You can then do 'NewCLI' to test your graphics, or use any DOS command in shellcommands.resource.

You should just be able to add econsole.hook to your module list, and use 'econsole' in your bootargs.

So long as you have a working Exec/RawMayGetChar and Exec/RawPutChar, it should work.

Also make sure to add shell.resource and shellcommands.resource for this.

That should have done it.

If you set &quot;#define DEBUG 1&quot; in  arch/all-native/econsole/econsole.c, do you get any additional serial output?

have added it to the build and added econsole to the command line - and can see the bootloader picks up on the emergency bootconsole tag, but I still only get the insert bootable media display?

Im assuming it exposes a fake filesystem that tricks aros into booting?
The contents of which are: ECON:AROS.boot

Way to handle the scheduling code? The implementations I had been following were causing problems, due to cascading interrupts which I cant handle properly in the asm stubs just now (when they break disable etc.) - since it means detecting the interrupted codes cpu mode and getting the correct sp/lr for it, and that's just too tedious for arm.
 
To work around this ive added a system idle task which does nothing - and when the scheduling code has no task to run switches this in and lets it run, thereby allowing the interrupts etc to resume until something does need to happen.
 
Also, by adding accounting code to cpu_Switch() and cpu_Dispatch(), it should allow the system to log idle time correctly (as well as running tasks).
 
have thought of also adding an additional task that never runs, solely to record time spent in IRQ handlers, but I digress..

was under the impression that kernel.resource should *never* be used outside of exec.library. This is a wrong impression.
Michal started designing it because portable nature of AROS does not fit well into exec's API with all its assumptions. So, he started the new, hardware-agnostic kernel API from scratch. Yes, exec sits on top of it in places. But kernel always meant to be open thing. Otherwise it would not exist. 
it wasn't meant to be just used willy nilly by user code - but by lower system components (e.g. exec) so that they could be implemented in a more generic fashion, and the kernel resource itself hide the systems quirks.

Adding new things there perfectly keeps up with our decision to minimize AROS-specific intervention into APIs which can clash with MorphOS/OS4 extensions. We want at least source-level compatibility there. Binary compatibility on PPC would be extremely cool, but at the other hand we have no maintainer for this, as well as their ABIs are a bit weird and far from optimal, especially MorphOS one, because it aims for m68k binary compatibility.
It depends on what exactly is being implemented - there's no reason we should have everything crammed into kernel.resource if it doesn't need to be (i.e. if its better suited as a separate component/subsystem in its own right)

The _LE versions are for when you have endian swapping taking place.  If the graphics are the same endian as the CPU, no swapping should occur.  I ran into a similar terminology problem in SDL with a friend insisting that his Radeon 7000 on his PC was big-endian.  It is not, it just uses the same endianness for the graphics card and the CPU so no swapping was necessary.  They were both little-endian.
The _LE versions are because the PixFmts refer to the bitmap data being in big endian format in memory, for which the normal version would need to do endianness conversion before applying the shifts/masks. on this platform it is in _LE in memory also so we don't need the conversion hence using the _LE version of the call). would use _LE (if it's really little endian 16 bit mode).

 
What is the bare minimum needed to implement a framebuffer based gfx driver, with our software handling the rest?
 
I have tried with just a gfx class that only expose new/dispose/newbitmap - and having an onscreenbitmap used only for the framebuffer itself (with all other bitmaps being chunkybm, and the framebuffer's superclass also being chunkybm), but that alone isn't enough it seems?
You can use workbench/hidds/sm502/ as your example - it is as simple as I could make it.
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

I so far have -:
 
vc_init: queries the gpus memory, and sets up a fake memory handler for it, then adds the bootmode driver and  returns saying all is well
vc_gfxhidd:New: sets up some fake syncmodes to test with and creates the real gfx object.
vc_gfxhidd:NewBitmap: checks if its a framebuffer and uses the onbitmap class or uses the chunkybm class otherwise
vc_onbitmap:New; creates a chunkybm object and then pushes the real framebuffer address into it as the buffer,
 
So, AROS creates the framebuffer bitmap (I have verified this) -&gt; so surely it should be capable of then rendeing into it? I don't actually create the framebuffer &quot;bitmap object&quot; myself - only as a result of being asked to.

The code I currently have on SVN seems to create the framebuffers bitmap object fine, but then crashes in intuitions DisplayDriver callback.  In particular it crashes performing the getattr on the system default pointer.
don't expose MEMF_CHIP in an allocatable form so AllocSpriteData was failing (and other code later doesn't check if the values are valid == illegal memory accesses)

Actually MEMF_CHIP has to present, for historical reasons.
This has been never fully agreed upon, but in ports i wrote i exposed the whole memory as MEMF_CHIP. The idea behind this is that CHIP is originally the memory where graphics and sound data can be put. On non-Amiga platforms there are no restrictions on this, so the whole memory is CHIP.
Yes, many old software can misbehave with CHIP memory size larger than 2MB. But this actually applies only to m68k AROS which is going to run m68k binaries. In other cases it's quite logical to fix the program when porting.

As to original question: yes, it's enough to have a framebuffer bitmap (one with aoHidd_BitMap_FrameBuffer set to TRUE) and PutPixel routine. It framebuffer can be served by chunky bitmap class, then you can simply create chunky bitmap with your own buffer (see how VESA driver does this). Chunky PutPixel is already there.

struggling to determine what is the correct pixfmt to use for the 24/16/15 bit gfx modes on the RasPi.  AFAIK it uses RGB565, for 16bit but im unsure what shifts etc should go with it? suffice to say Im getting the wrong colors so far lol.

&lt;pre&gt;
redmask: 0x0000F800
greenmask: 0x000007E0
bluemask: 0x0000001F
alphamask: 0

redshift: 16
greenshift: 21
blueshift: 27
alphashift: 0
&lt;/pre&gt;

It should likely be vHidd_StdPixFmt_RGB16_LE

This stuff is a bit confusing.  The &quot;names&quot; of the stdpixfmts are based on the layout in memory,
ignoring endianess. So for example:

ARGB32: will be 0xAA 0xRR 0xGG 0xBB in memory on both big endian and little endian machines.

The shifts and masks OTOH are based on pixel access (ULONG in this case), so differ depending
on whether you run on big endian machine or little endian machine (that's why there's stdpixfmt_le.h and
stdpixfmt_be.h in rom/hidds/graphics/).

With the 16 bit pixel format it's even more confusing, as for example it's impossible on little endian machine
to describe RGB16 with shifts/masks alone. That's why there's vHidd_PixFmt_SwapPixelBytes_Flag.
(RGB16 == RRRRRGGG GGGBBBBB in memory, and for pixel (WORD) access on little endian machine it needs to
be accessed as GGGBBBBBRRRRRGGGG).

The shifts btw indicate how much to shift the component to the left (!) so that it is moved to the highest bit (31).

The aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you specify will be ignored most of the time, because when the pixelfmt is registered,
the gfx hidd checks if there's an identical pixfmt (shifts/masks/etc., but ignoring pixfmt-&gt;stdpixfmt) already in the system,
and if so, it uses the already existing one and does not create a new one.

In theory it would be better if gfx drivers could simply/only specify a StdPixFmt without all the shifts/masks stuff when the
gfx driver uses pixfmt which matches one of the stdpixfmts exactly. Another possibility would be for gfx drivers to use
HIDD_Gfx_GetPIxFmt(stdpixfmt_gfx_driver_wants_to_use) and then peek shifts/masks from it and fill out a pixfmt
tag list based on that.
15bit very blue/green: Try to pass same shifts/masks/etc. as in 16 bit pixfmt (maybe you think it's using 15 bit R5G5B5
(or swapped) but it's actually still using 16 bit R5G6B5 (or swapped).
 aHidd_PixFmt_StdPixFmt you pass is mostly ignored. It's the shift/masks/etc. that count.
But I would still pass the correct one (_LE) == whatever rom/hidds/graphics/stdpixfmts_??.h uses
in the entry where you have looked up shifts/masks/etc.

Use the shifts/masks/etc. from the entry in stdpixfmt_le.h (if you are running on little endian machine) or stdpixfmt_be.h (if you
are running on little endian machine) that matches the pixfmt that its meant to be.

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on little endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_le.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

0xAA,0xRR,0xGG,0xBB on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_ARGB32)
0xBB,0xGG,0xRR,0xAA on big endian (-&gt;entry in stdpixfmt_be.h which says vHidd_StdPixFmt_BGRA32)

it feels like AROS trashes the alpha component, otherwise it should be 8A8R8G8B.

read on the subject suggest its in 1x5r5g5b (x is ignored) to keep 16bit alignment .
 
What I see on screen suggests to me that wrong shift/mask are being applied - however going by the 16bit versions it all looks correct to me so I am really confused as to what is happening.
 
The output image looks to have too much green/blue, and very weak red.

Why did usbromstartup become HW-specific ?
In  the  past i have done a big job separating kickstart into several parts. I have never got any responses, so i re-describe my idea.

For now it loads the hs otg chipset driver ..

The  idea  is  to minimize amount of archirecture-specific modules to
    make   user's  life  easier.  So,  the kickstart was split into 'base'
    (which  does  not  contain anything machine-specific) and 'BSP' (Board
    Support Package) which contains all hardware-specific stuff.
     This  way,  for  example, distribution makers can save up space on CD
    and  make  CDs with multiple platform support. Different configuration
    would load the same base with different BSP's.
     Next  there  was some part which is entirely missing on hosted. These
    are   filesystems.  Hosted  ports  do  not need them to boot up, so on
    hosted   they  are  left  out.  At  the  other  hand,  they  are  also
    architecture-agnostic.  So  i put them into 'FS' package (standing for
    'filesystem').

     Poseidon  is  one  more  big part. I made it into separate package in
    order to allow users to omit it if they don't need it (for example, to
    run  on retro PCs without USB). Personally i have one. Again, Poseidon
    is  hardware-agnostic (well, there are USB drivers but HCIs are pretty
    standard).

It's mandatory on PI since there are no other interface types - so being a separate package is irrelevant/pointless.

Is Raspberry's USB controller non-HCI compliant? Actually i expect it to be compliant, then wouldn't it be better to make existing drivers discovering them? 
 
AFAIK its HCI 1.0 compliant but I'm not familiar enough with poseidons drivers, nor USB, to just hack away at the existing code.  Perhaps once i'm more familiar with the workings I can merge in the changes needed to get it operating but for now I will focus on getting it running.  Also our drivers have known issues so perhaps a fresh set of eyes might shed some light on what is going wrong.

Another interesting question is whether Poseidon can operate on device side. Is it flexible enough? How similar is being a USB host and USB device? think it will need a bit of work on Poseidon's side.  Until then I will force the driver into Host/Master mode in the init code, but leave open device etc to configure the chipset for either's use - and look at trying to add support for working in Device/Slave mode &amp; switching modes once it's up and running.

Actually USBROMStartup is some kind of kludge. Can there be any alternative? Could device drivers be self-installing, like our HIDDs? This would get rid of need to list them in USBRomStartup.

And there is one more thing about modular ports. In order to actually implement this, your bootstrapping environment should provide the ability to load several files. On PC this is provided by GRUB2. on CHRP you can read filesystem via OpenFirmware, and Sam's Parthenope relies on modified u-boot. If your bootstrap allows to load only a single file, then you stuck with monolithic kickstart. By the way...  u-boot allows not only to boot up a single uImage or zImage, it also allows to write client programs AFAIK. With this approach, you actually can write modular bootstrap for ARM AROS using unmodified u-boot.

Will raspberrypi ARM programs run on other ARM archs and vice-versa ? If not I would like to use different cpu names for 
archs which are incompatible. 
All code compiled for at most armv6 with softfp float abi will work on all softfp ARM targets, including raspberry. 
Code compiled for hard-float ABI will not work on any softfp target. But then, hard-float abi uses -armhf- cpu name.

hdmi issues

Setting the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 makes sure the Pi believes the monitor/TV is really there.

You might also need to set config_hdmi_boost=4 or even higher (up to 9) if your display needs a stronger signal.

If the display is a computer monitor or newer tv, use hdmi_group=1 (auto HDMI use) and if it is an older TV, try hdmi_group=2 (for DMT formats, i.e. for PC monitors) then you HAVE to &quot;set hdmi_drive = 2 to enable HDMI output as this forces HDMI mode rather than DVI mode

Do not set hdmi_safe=1 as that overrides many of the previous options.

Using a shorter or better quality HDMI cable might help. Make sure your Pi's power supply delivers 1 A and not 500 mA.
If you see a problem with the red colour - either absent, or interference - then try a boost

There are several different ways that these 4 pole (ring) composite analog cables can be wired up, so some work great in some applications and can be a waste of time in others.

What is needed for the Raspberry Pi B+ and above, which like many camcorders needs the ring contact next to the base contact to be the ground.

The wiring for the 4 pole are:

TIP (LEFT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 1 (RIGHT AUDIO CHANNEL)

RING 2 (GROUND/EARTH)

RING 3 BASE/SLEEVE (VIDEO) YELLOW

Most Apple based Players and the Microsoft Zune (TM) are wired this way.

Most analogue camcorders are wired this way as well, where the ground in on Ring 2 will work with the Pi although you may need to swap your Video plug with the Right Audio plug.

Nearly all other MP3 players are not wired this way, the ground is on another ring ie the wrong one.

It can be a bad 15-pin FFC ribbon cable, when swapped, camera(s) and the Pi itself are working OK. It can be an instance of a cold solder joint on the CSI connector on the pi board.  the camera can be detected (that's done via I2C) but may still not be able to receive image data (done via CSI-2) if something is broken. CSI-2 is uni-directional. Control is generally done via I2C. 
The CSI-2 receiver always writes to memory, not direct to the ISP. That's the way the Broadcom architecture works as it allows multipass processing easily. GPU memory is accessible from the ARM. Processing using the QPU graphics processors may be possible.  currently the only supported sensor is OV5647 and IMX219.  The linux drivers are all in the firmware blob, else you'd  be looking at at least a man-month of work in a fully fledged imaging lab to do a decent tuning of the camera modules' ISP parameters. 
Static electricity maybe an issue for the camera module and slightly less for the pi board.

Help building AROS hosted on Linux ARM

I was looking a way to use more my Handheld ARM based called Pyra (Dragonbox Pyra) an ARM (Omap5 cpu with 4GB ram) linux based machine (Debian Buster v10 with kernel 5.6.19 adapted) and have a try to compile the latest Aros sources by Deadwood directly on this device.
Compilation stops after build libpopupmenu.a and trying to build libatomic have this error:

looking at config.log on arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/host/tools/crosstools/gnu/gcc/arm-aros/libatomic

i found that arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf/arm-aros-ld: cannot find -laeabi
so i do make linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick
and the missing lib was built.

now the next stop is at
fatal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
and
fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory
in many places so after checking that i have this missing include files i have noted that my include path is a bit different, standard searching path is /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf but in my system is /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
so if i add my path to some mmakefiles compilation goes on....but is a better way to add this path to avoid every mmakefiles to be changed?
i fixed with adding
-I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf
to where is missing on mmakefiles like
USER_INCLUDES := -isystem $(GENINCDIR) -I/usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabihf $(KERNEL_INCLUDES)

P.s. I have changed many mmakefiles and have at least compiled (after many hours) the toolchain doing make every time in arosbuilds/toolchain-core-armhf-build (also have to disable making tests under cplusplus but don't remember the directory ...) but i ask an help to have an automated way to correctly build without modify mmakefiles.


Last time I built armhf target was around 2 years ago. At that point I built is via cross-compilation from linux (ubuntu 22.04) using linux armhf crosscompiler (this can explain the path differences you are experiencing) as well as using AROS gcc cross-compiler in version 6.5.0 (build with option 21) in rebuild.sh). Since then AROS GCC has been updated to 10.5.0 and I don't believe anyone tried to build the armhf target again.

My suggestion would be to downgrade GCC to 6.5.0 (via editing AROS/config/gcc_def file) and try to first build using cross-compilation from x86_64 linux. Once that works, you will have a &quot;template&quot; to compare to native compilation under arm linux.


Thanks for your suggestion...but i think the toolchain with GCC 10.5.0 is compilable if i found a way to pass the path of my system to the script that build (option 21 on rebuild).
The other only changes are (but i don't know where to modify...) is to add the build of libaeabi and disable the building of some tests under cplusplus that use exceptions and is not supported under ARM.
I'll try to crosscompile with my Linux amd64 PC.

For paths look into core-linux-armhf/bin/linux-armhf/gen/config/target.cfg. A number of build-wide variable is set there containing paths to local build system. These variables and the target.cfg file are generated by AROS ./configure script.

Thanks compilation now go forward...i changed target.cfg under &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build/bin/linux-arm/gen/config&quot; and do make on &quot;toolchain-core-armhf-build&quot; dir.

Now i need to find where to enable build libaeabi.a so i can build the entire toolchain with option 21 of rebuild.sh


I found something that looks like libeabi in AROS/arm-all/arm-aeabi/mmakefile.src. Try adding a third line there:

#MM- linklibs-armhd : libklibs-aeabi-arm

Though I don't remember needing this library. Possibly the 6.5.0 GCC somehow does this while 10.5.0 is missing this.


I try adding this line (and the variant &quot;linklibs-armhf&quot; instead of hd) but it did not solve the automatic building of the missing lib. I must do &quot;linklibs-aeabi-arm-quick&quot;.
Anyway after have build the aeabi lib i succefully built the toolchain (after many hours...). Smile

To test I restarted from selecting option 21 (on rebuild.sh) but after many hours i get the same error of the kernel includes not found...maybe i need to modify the configure script for my case.

With the toolchain built i try to build the core-linux-armhf (DEBUG) (option 22) but after a while it stopped with
&quot;cannot find -laeabi &quot; so i made it built manually...and now i can continue compiling...i'll let you know if all goes ok.

== text() ==
The &lt;code&gt;text&lt;/code&gt; module creates text as a 2D geometric object,
using fonts installed on the local system or provided as separate font file.

{{requires|2015.03}}

===Parameters===

; text : String. The text to generate.

; size : Number. In a western script, capital letters will be approximately this tall. Default is 10.  Sets the em size of the font to 100/72 times the value specified.  See '''em''' and the note on font sizes below.

; font : String. The name of the font that should be used. This is not the name of the font file, but the logical font name (internally handled by the fontconfig library). This can also include a style parameter, see below. A list of installed fonts &amp; styles can be obtained using the font list dialog (Window -&gt; Font List).  The default is &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;.

; direction: String. Direction of the text flow. Possible values are &quot;ltr&quot; (left-to-right), &quot;rtl&quot; (right-to-left), &quot;ttb&quot; (top-to-bottom) and &quot;btt&quot; (bottom-to-top). Default is &quot;ltr&quot;.

; language: String. The language of the text (e.g., &quot;en&quot;, &quot;ar&quot;, &quot;ch&quot;). Default is &quot;en&quot;.

; script: String. The script of the text (e.g., &quot;latin&quot;, &quot;arabic&quot;, &quot;hani&quot;). Default is &quot;latin&quot;.

; halign : String. The horizontal alignment for the text. Possible values are &quot;left&quot;, &quot;center&quot; and &quot;right&quot;. Default is &quot;left&quot;.

; valign : String. The vertical alignment for the text. Possible values are &quot;top&quot;, &quot;center&quot;, &quot;baseline&quot; and &quot;bottom&quot;. Default is &quot;baseline&quot;.

; spacing : Number. Factor to increase/decrease the character spacing. The default value of 1 results in the normal spacing for the font, giving a value greater than 1 causes the letters to be spaced further apart.

; em : Number. Specifies the size of an em-square.  This is the conventional measurement used for font sizing; see the note on font sizing below. {{requires|Development snapshot}}
 
; $fn, $fs, and $fa: used for subdividing curved segments of the glyphs.

'''Example'''
[[File:OpenSCAD text() example.png|thumb|Example 1: Result.]]
 text(&quot;OpenSCAD&quot;);

=== Alignment ===

==== Vertical alignment ====

; top : The text is aligned so the top of the tallest character in your text is at the given Y coordinate.

; center: The text is aligned with the center of the bounding box at the given Y coordinate. This bounding box is based on the actual sizes of the letters, so taller letters and descenders will affect the positioning.

; baseline: The text is aligned with the font baseline at the given Y coordinate. This is the default, and is the only option that makes ''different'' pieces of text align vertically, as if they were written on lined paper, regardless of character heights and descenders.

; bottom: The text is aligned so the bottom of the lowest-reaching character in your text is at the given Y coordinate.

[[File:OpenSCAD text align vertical.png|thumb|OpenSCAD vertical text alignment]]
  text = &quot;Align&quot;;
  font = &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;;
  
  valign = [
    [  0, &quot;top&quot;],
    [ 40, &quot;center&quot;],
    [ 75, &quot;baseline&quot;],
    [110, &quot;bottom&quot;]
  ];
  
  for (a = valign) {
    translate([10, 120 - a[0], 0]) {
      color(&quot;red&quot;) cube([135, 1, 0.1]);
      color(&quot;blue&quot;) cube([1, 20, 0.1]);
      linear_extrude(height = 0.5) {
        text(text = str(text,&quot;_&quot;,a[1]), font = font, size = 20, valign = a[1]);
      }
    }
  }
{{clear}}
The &lt;code&gt;text()&lt;/code&gt; module doesn't support multi-line text, but you can make a separate call for each line, using &lt;code&gt;translate()&lt;/code&gt; to space them. A spacing of 1.4*'''size''' is the minimum required to prevent lines overlapping (if they include descenders). 1.6*'''size''' is approximately the default single-spacing in many word processing programs. To get evenly spaced lines, use &quot;baseline&quot; vertical alignment; otherwise, lines may be lower or higher depending on their contents.

==== Horizontal alignment ====

; left : The text is aligned with the left side of the bounding box at the given X coordinate. This is the default.

; center : The text is aligned with the center of the bounding box at the given X coordinate.

; right : The text is aligned with the right of the bounding box at the given X coordinate.

[[File:OpenSCAD text align horizontal.png|thumb|OpenSCAD horizontal text alignment]]
  text = &quot;Align&quot;;
  font = &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;;
  
  halign = [
    [10, &quot;left&quot;],
    [50, &quot;center&quot;],
    [90, &quot;right&quot;]
  ];
  
  for (a = halign) {
    translate([140, a[0], 0]) {
      color(&quot;red&quot;) cube([115, 2,0.1]);
      color(&quot;blue&quot;) cube([2, 20,0.1]);
      linear_extrude(height = 0.5) {
        text(text = str(text,&quot;_&quot;,a[1]), font = font, size = 20, halign = a[1]);
      }
    }
  }

=== Using Fonts &amp; Styles ===

Fonts are specified by their logical font name; in addition a style parameter can be added to select a specific font style like &quot;'''bold'''&quot; or &quot;''italic''&quot;, such as:

 font=&quot;Liberation Sans:style=Bold Italic&quot;

The font list dialog (available under Window &gt; Font List) shows the font name and the font style for each available font. For reference, the dialog also displays the location of the font file.
You can drag a font in the font list into the editor window to use in the text() statement.

[[File:OpenSCAD font list dialog.png|thumb|center|400px|OpenSCAD font list dialog]]

OpenSCAD includes the fonts ''Liberation Mono'', ''Liberation Sans'', &lt;!-- ''Liberation Sans Narrow'' isn't included --&gt; and ''Liberation Serif''. Hence, as fonts in general differ by platform type, use of these included fonts is likely to be portable across platforms. 

For common/casual text usage, the specification of one of these fonts is &lt;strong&gt;recommended&lt;/strong&gt; for this reason. Liberation Sans is the default font to encourage this.

In addition to the installed fonts ( for windows  only fonts installed as admin for all users ), it's possible to add project specific font files. Supported font file formats are [[:w:TrueType|TrueType]] Fonts (*.ttf) and [[:w:OpenType|OpenType]] Fonts (*.otf). The files need to be registered with use&lt;&gt;.

  use &lt;ttf/paratype-serif/PTF55F.ttf&gt;

After the registration, the font is listed in the font list dialog, so in case logical name of a font is unknown, it can be looked up as it was registered.

'''Example'''
[[File:OpenSCAD text() font style example.png|thumb|Example 2: Result.]]
  square(10);
  
  translate([15, 15]) {
    text(&quot;OpenSCAD&quot;, font = &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;);
  }
  
  translate([15, 0]) {
    text(&quot;OpenSCAD&quot;, font = &quot;Liberation Sans:style=Bold Italic&quot;);
  }

== Metrics ==
{{requires|Development snapshot}}

=== textmetrics() ===

The &lt;code&gt;textmetrics()&lt;/code&gt; function accepts the same parameters as &lt;code&gt;text()&lt;/code&gt;, and returns an [[OpenSCAD_User_Manual/General#Objects|object]] describing how the text would be rendered.

The returned object has these members:
* '''position''': the position of the lower-left corner of the generated text.
* '''size''': the size of the generated text.
* '''ascent''': the amount that the text extends above the baseline.
* '''descent''': the amount that the text extends below the baseline.
* '''offset''': the origin of the text after aligning.  Text typically starts slightly right of this point.
* '''advance''': the &quot;other end&quot; of the text, the point at which additional text should be positioned, relative to &quot;offset&quot;.  Text generally ends slightly left of this point.

    s = &quot;Hello, World!&quot;;
    size = 20;
    font = &quot;Liberation Serif&quot;;
    
    tm = textmetrics(s, size=size, font=font);
    echo(tm);
    translate([0,0,1]) text(&quot;Hello, World!&quot;, size=size, font=font);
    color(&quot;black&quot;) translate(tm.position) square(tm.size);

yields (reformatted for readability):

[[File:OpenSCAD textmetrics.png|thumb|Using textmetrics() to draw a box around text]]

    ECHO: {
        position = [0.7936, -4.2752];
        size = [149.306, 23.552];
        ascent = 19.2768;
        descent = -4.2752;
        offset = [0, 0];
        advance = [153.09, 0];
    }

=== fontmetrics() ===

The &lt;code&gt;fontmetrics()&lt;/code&gt; function accepts a font size and a font name, both optional, and returns an [[OpenSCAD_User_Manual/General#Objects|object]] describing global characteristics of the font.

'''Parameters'''

; size : Number, optional.  The approximate height of capital letters, as described above for &lt;code&gt;text()&lt;/code&gt;.

; font : String, optional. The name of the font, as described above.

; em: Number, optional.  The font size, the size of the em-square, as described above.

Note that omitting the size and/or font may be useful to get information about the default font.

Returns an object:
* '''nominal''': usual dimensions for a glyph:
** '''ascent''': height above the baseline
** '''descent''': depth below the baseline
* '''max''': maximum dimensions for a glyph:
** '''ascent''': height above the baseline
** '''descent''': depth below the baseline
* '''interline''': design distance from one baseline to the next
* '''font''': identification information about the font:
** '''family''': the font family name
** '''style''': the style (Regular, Italic, et cetera)

    echo(fontmetrics(font=&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;));

yields (reformatted for readability):

    ECHO: {
        nominal = {
            ascent = 12.3766;
            descent = -3.0043;
        };
        max = {
            ascent = 13.6312;
            descent = -4.2114;
        };
        interline = 15.9709;
        font = {
            family = &quot;Liberation Serif&quot;;
            style = &quot;Regular&quot;;
        };
    }

== Notes ==
=== Font sizing ===
==== Parameters: size and em ====
'''size''' sets the size of the text in a convenient way:  it sets, approximately, the height of a capital letter in a western script.

'''em''' sets the size of the text in the industry-standard way:  it sets the size of the [[w:Em_(typography)|em-square]].

If you try to precisely correlate either of these measurements to any particular dimension of the generated text, you are likely to be unsatisfied.

'''size''' is based on a miscalculation that is now maintained for compatibility.  By accident, the result is that '''size''' approximately sets the size of capital letters. Fonts vary and may be a different height, typically slightly smaller.

'''em''' is the conventional way to specify font size.  Its behavior - its relationship with other measurements - matches the behavior seen in other applications and typography conventions.  However, because historically it specified the size of the block of metal used to print the text, it's considerably larger than most letters.  The exact relationship between the nominal font size and the actual size of glyphs depends on the design of the font.  For most western fonts, the height of capital letters is about 70% of the font size.

'''textmetrics()''' can be used to measure the dimensions of any particular text; '''fontmetrics()''' will return general information about the font.  You can use those results to scale when you need the actual text to be a particular size.

==== Units: points, millimeters, or...? ====
A common point of confusion is in the units used to specify font sizes.  Conventional usage specifies font sizes in points, at 72 points per inch.  This yields convenient numbers like 10 for typical text sizes, but there is nothing special about points; those sizes could equally be specified in inches, millimeters, or miles.

OpenSCAD has no units.  There may be units specified in exported file formats, or inferred by downstream tools, but OpenSCAD proper does not define how large a 10-unit cube is in physical units.  Similarly, the size of text in OpenSCAD is specified in OpenSCAD units - which might be interpreted as millimeters or feet.  If you use '''em''' to specify a font size of 10, you will typically get text where, as noted above, capital letters are about 7 units tall.

It is common for users to interpret OpenSCAD units as millimeters.  When interpreting OpenSCAD units as millimeters, if you want to specify text sizes in points you'll want to multiply the desired size in points by 25.4/72 to get the equivalent size in millimeters.

=== 3D text ===
[[File:Openscad Text 3dText.jpg|thumb|3D text example]]

Text can be changed from a 2 dimensional object into a 3D object by using [[OpenSCAD User Manual/2D to 3D Extrusion#Linear_Extrude|linear_extrude]].

 //3d Text Example
 linear_extrude(4)
     text(&quot;Text&quot;);

=== Unicode ===
To allow specification of particular [[w:Unicode|Unicode]] characters, you can specify them in a string with the following escape codes;

* &lt;code&gt;\x&lt;em&gt;03&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/code&gt; - hex char-value (only hex values from &lt;code&gt;01&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;7f&lt;/code&gt; are supported)
* &lt;code&gt;\u&lt;em&gt;0123&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/code&gt; - Unicode char with 4 hexadecimal digits (note: lowercase &lt;code&gt;\u&lt;/code&gt;)
* &lt;code&gt;\U&lt;em&gt;012345&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/code&gt; - Unicode char with 6 hexadecimal digits (note: uppercase &lt;code&gt;\U&lt;/code&gt;)

The null character (NUL) is mapped to the space character (SP).
  assert(version() == [2019, 5, 0]);
  assert(ord(&quot; &quot;) == 32);
  assert(ord(&quot;\x00&quot;) == 32);
  assert(ord(&quot;\u0000&quot;) == 32);
  assert(ord(&quot;\U000000&quot;) == 32);

'''Example'''
 t=&quot;\u20AC10 \u263A&quot;; // 10 euro and a smiley

=== Font management ===

OpenSCAD uses fontconfig to find and manage fonts, so it's possible to list the system configured fonts on command line using the fontconfig tools in a format similar to the GUI dialog.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;
$ fc-list -f &quot;%-60{{%{family[0]}%{:style[0]=}}}%{file}\n&quot; | sort

...
Liberation Mono:style=Bold Italic /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation2/LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf
Liberation Mono:style=Bold        /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation2/LiberationMono-Bold.ttf
Liberation Mono:style=Italic      /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation2/LiberationMono-Italic.ttf
Liberation Mono:style=Regular     /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation2/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf
...
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Under Windows, fonts are stored in the Windows Registry. To get a file with the font file names, use the command:

&lt;code&gt;reg query &quot;HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts&quot; /s &gt; List_Fonts_Windows.txt&lt;/code&gt;

The &lt;code&gt;textmetrics()&lt;/code&gt; function accepts the same parameters as &lt;code&gt;text()&lt;/code&gt;, and returns an [[OpenSCAD_User_Manual/General#Objects|object]] describing how the text would be rendered.

The returned object has these members:
* '''position''': the position of the lower-left corner of the generated text.
* '''size''': the size of the generated text.
* '''ascent''': the amount that the text extends above the baseline.
* '''descent''': the amount that the text extends below the baseline.
* '''offset''': the origin of the text after aligning.  Text typically starts slightly right of this point.
* '''advance''': the &quot;other end&quot; of the text, the point at which additional text should be positioned, relative to &quot;offset&quot;.  Text generally ends slightly left of this point.

    s = &quot;Hello, World!&quot;;
    size = 20;
    font = &quot;Liberation Serif&quot;;
    
    tm = textmetrics(s, size=size, font=font);
    echo(tm);
    translate([0,0,1]) text(&quot;Hello, World!&quot;, size=size, font=font);
    color(&quot;black&quot;) translate(tm.position) square(tm.size);

yields (reformatted for readability):

    ECHO: {
        position = [0.7936, -4.2752];
        size = [149.306, 23.552];
        ascent = 19.2768;
        descent = -4.2752;
        offset = [0, 0];
        advance = [153.09, 0];
    }

=== fontmetrics() ===

The &lt;code&gt;fontmetrics()&lt;/code&gt; function accepts a font size and a font name, both optional, and returns an [[OpenSCAD_User_Manual/General#Objects|object]] describing global characteristics of the font.

'''Parameters'''

; size : Number, optional.  The approximate height of capital letters, as described above for &lt;code&gt;text()&lt;/code&gt;.

; font : String, optional. The name of the font, as described above.

; em: Number, optional.  The font size, the size of the em-square, as described above.

Note that omitting the size and/or font may be useful to get information about the default font.

Returns an object:
* '''nominal''': usual dimensions for a glyph:
** '''ascent''': height above the baseline
** '''descent''': depth below the baseline
* '''max''': maximum dimensions for a glyph:
** '''ascent''': height above the baseline
** '''descent''': depth below the baseline
* '''interline''': design distance from one baseline to the next
* '''font''': identification information about the font:
** '''family''': the font family name
** '''style''': the style (Regular, Italic, et cetera)

    echo(fontmetrics(font=&quot;Liberation Serif&quot;));

yields (reformatted for readability):

    ECHO: {
        nominal = {
            ascent = 12.3766;
            descent = -3.0043;
        };
        max = {
            ascent = 13.6312;
            descent = -4.2114;
        };
        interline = 15.9709;
        font = {
            family = &quot;Liberation Serif&quot;;
            style = &quot;Regular&quot;;
        };
    }

== Notes ==
=== Font sizing ===
==== Parameters: size and em ====
'''size''' sets the size of the text in a convenient way:  it sets, approximately, the height of a capital letter in a western script.

'''em''' sets the size of the text in the industry-standard way:  it sets the size of the [[w:Em_(typography)|em-square]].

If you try to precisely correlate either of these measurements to any particular dimension of the generated text, you are likely to be unsatisfied.

'''size''' is based on a miscalculation that is now maintained for compatibility.  By accident, the result is that '''size''' approximately sets the size of capital letters. Fonts vary and may be a different height, typically slightly smaller.

'''em''' is the conventional way to specify font size.  Its behavior - its relationship with other measurements - matches the behavior seen in other applications and typography conventions.  However, because historically it specified the size of the block of metal used to print the text, it's considerably larger than most letters.  The exact relationship between the nominal font size and the actual size of glyphs depends on the design of the font.  For most western fonts, the height of capital letters is about 70% of the font size.

'''textmetrics()''' can be used to measure the dimensions of any particular text; '''fontmetrics()''' will return general information about the font.  You can use those results to scale when you need the actual text to be a particular size.

==== Units: points, millimeters, or...? ====
A common point of confusion is in the units used to specify font sizes.  Conventional usage specifies font sizes in points, at 72 points per inch.  This yields convenient numbers like 10 for typical text sizes, but there is nothing special about points; those sizes could equally be specified in inches, millimeters, or miles.

OpenSCAD has no units.  There may be units specified in exported file formats, or inferred by downstream tools, but OpenSCAD proper does not define how large a 10-unit cube is in physical units.  Similarly, the size of text in OpenSCAD is specified in OpenSCAD units - which might be interpreted as millimeters or feet.  If you use '''em''' to specify a font size of 10, you will typically get text where, as noted above, capital letters are about 7 units tall.

It is common for users to interpret OpenSCAD units as millimeters.  When interpreting OpenSCAD units as millimeters, if you want to specify text sizes in points you'll want to multiply the desired size in points by 25.4/72 to get the equivalent size in millimeters.

=== 3D text ===
[[File:Openscad Text 3dText.jpg|thumb|3D text example]]

Text can be changed from a 2 dimensional object into a 3D object by using [[OpenSCAD User Manual/2D to 3D Extrusion#Linear_Extrude|linear_extrude]].

 //3d Text Example
 linear_extrude(4)
     text(&quot;Text&quot;);

=== Unicode ===
To allow specification of particular [[w:Unicode|Unicode]] characters, you can specify them in a string with the following escape codes;

* &lt;code&gt;\x&lt;em&gt;03&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/code&gt; - hex char-value (only hex values from &lt;code&gt;01&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;7f&lt;/code&gt; are supported)
* &lt;code&gt;\u&lt;em&gt;0123&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/code&gt; - Unicode char with 4 hexadecimal digits (note: lowercase &lt;code&gt;\u&lt;/code&gt;)
* &lt;code&gt;\U&lt;em&gt;012345&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/code&gt; - Unicode char with 6 hexadecimal digits (note: uppercase &lt;code&gt;\U&lt;/code&gt;)

The null character (NUL) is mapped to the space character (SP).
  assert(version() == [2019, 5, 0]);
  assert(ord(&quot; &quot;) == 32);
  assert(ord(&quot;\x00&quot;) == 32);
  assert(ord(&quot;\u0000&quot;) == 32);
  assert(ord(&quot;\U000000&quot;) == 32);

'''Example'''
 t=&quot;\u20AC10 \u263A&quot;; // 10 euro and a smiley

=== Font management ===

OpenSCAD uses fontconfig to find and manage fonts, so it's possible to list the system configured fonts on command line using the fontconfig tools in a format similar to the GUI dialog.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;bash&quot;&gt;
$ fc-list -f &quot;%-60{{%{family[0]}%{:style[0]=}}}%{file}\n&quot; | sort

...
Liberation Mono:style=Bold Italic /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation2/LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf
Liberation Mono:style=Bold        /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation2/LiberationMono-Bold.ttf
Liberation Mono:style=Italic      /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation2/LiberationMono-Italic.ttf
Liberation Mono:style=Regular     /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation2/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf
...
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Under Windows, fonts are stored in the Windows Registry. To get a file with the font file names, use the command:

&lt;code&gt;reg query &quot;HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts&quot; /s &gt; List_Fonts_Windows.txt&lt;/code&gt;

== JavaScript for user interfacing ==
This book is all about leveraging your google account to make data-driven web applications. It will not cover how to create your user interfaces very much. In this section I'll just give some simple examples, some of which don't even follow best practices but are quick and dirty approaches you can try for some proof-of-principle approaches.
===User clicked something===
Nearly any element in html can have an &lt;code&gt;onClick&lt;/code&gt; function added to it. This includes:
* buttons
* text (most easily done with &lt;code&gt;span&lt;/code&gt; tags)
* List items
&lt;code&gt;onClick&lt;/code&gt; is not usually considered the proper way to do things, but if you're sure it's the only thing you want that element to do when the user is interacting it can work for you.&lt;ref&gt;The proper method is to do is &lt;code&gt;element.addEventListener('click', function() { /* do stuff here*/ }, false);  no that’s true.  You stay at the top bar I’ll stay at the bottom.&lt;/code&gt; &lt;/ref&gt;

Here's some simple html/javascript code that would open an alert saying &quot;you clicked me&quot; when the user presses a button:
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang='javascript' line='line'&gt;
&lt;button type=&quot;button&quot; onClick=&quot;openAlert('press me')&quot;&gt;press me&lt;/button&gt; &lt;!-- note the use of both types of quotes --&gt;

&lt;script&gt;
function openAlert(text){
   alert(text);
   }
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
===Update some text on the page===
Alerts are annoying, don't use them. Instead have the user's actions change something on the page. Here's an update to the last example where now pressing the button puts some text on the page just below the button:
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang='javascript' line='line'&gt;
&lt;button type=&quot;button&quot; onClick=&quot;openAlert('press me')&quot;&gt;press me&lt;/button&gt; &lt;!-- note the use of both types of quotes --&gt;
&lt;div id='emptyatfirst'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;script&gt;
function openAlert(text){
   document.getElementById('emptyatfirst').innerHTML=text;
   }
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
If you plan to make lots of changes to the text inside that &lt;code&gt;div&lt;/code&gt;, you might instead want to make a global variable like this:&lt;ref&gt;Note that you can't do remove&lt;var now try &lt;code&gt;emptyatfirst=document.getElementById('emptyatfirst').innerHTML;&lt;/code&gt; even if you thought that would save you some typing later. Let’s try its here&lt;/ref&gt;
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang='javascript' line='line'&gt;
&lt;button type=&quot;button&quot; onClick=&quot;openAlert('press me')&quot;&gt;press me&lt;/button&gt; &lt;!-- note the use of both types of quotes --&gt;
&lt;div id='emptyatfirst'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;script&gt;
// here's a global variable:
var emptyatfirst=document.getElementById('emptyatfirst');
function openAlert(text){
   emptyatfirst.innerHTML=text; // this uses the global variable
   }
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;''&quot;Standards are great! That's why there are so many of them, and they change so often.&quot;''

''&quot;What once was forbidden is now required.&quot;''
– Unknown&lt;/blockquote&gt;

=== Mathematical Notation and Operators ===
Mathematical notation was conceived of by different contributors and adopted over a period of time until the present . Standards are important. They help ensure that efforts are consistent and predictable. But if there are standards for notation, then these tend to be ''de facto'' in the absence of some imposed or adopted contextual guidance. Notation is important as this is the means by which mathematical expressions are composed. 

Much of what is now considered &quot;standard&quot; notation was in use before the advent of computers and programming software. Software such as Maxima that has as its purpose &quot;doing&quot; at least some of what is meant by &quot;mathematics,&quot; must provide the means by which mathematical expressions can be composed. Standard or conventional mathematical notation in general is not well-suited for this purpose.

Hence, there has been the effort to &quot;shoe horn&quot; expressions into a form that is better suited for composing expressions that conforms to software programming syntax, instead of developing software systems that can compose and interpret the full spectrum of existing mathematical expressions, presumably because the former is technically simpler. There has been more success in the form of output expressions in terms of conforming to standard mathematical notation.

Object OperatorsMaxima is mostly about mathematical expressions, and these expressions are composed of operators and atoms. Atoms are relatively the simpler ingredient for use in composing expressions – numerical and string data types, but also identifiers, especially those that are not assigned a value, and hence may be considered variables.

Operators are the ingredient where much of the &quot;heavy lifting&quot; occurs with respect to expression composition, and operators need some means to be expressed. Maxima operators are all some sort of &quot;function&quot; (or in Lisp, a procedure) in the programming language sense of the word. This is important to understand. Even something as simple as the expression of a sum is a based on a function.

For example, consider the Maxima expressions:&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;maxima&quot;&gt;
(%i1)	e+3;
(%o1)	e+3

(%i2)	:lisp #$[e+3]$
((MLIST SIMP) ((MPLUS SIMP) 3 $E))
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
Notice that a sum is simply the Lisp procedure &lt;code&gt;MPLUS&lt;/code&gt;. What is true here for the &lt;code&gt;+&lt;/code&gt; operator is true in general – operators are either implicitly or explicitly a function in the programming sense of the word. For those used to conventional mathematical notation, this fact can take some getting used to.

What this means in practice when composing Maxima expressions is that the form of the input may often not resemble what looks like conventional mathematical notation regardless of how well the output or value of the expressions represents the form of conventional mathematical notation. Maxima user interfaces such as ''wxMaxima'' and ''GNU TeXmacs'' are capable of rendering the output of Maxima expressions in a way that represents conventional mathematical notation quite well.

However, once again, the input expressions in these and similar user interfaces always are explicitly and literally composed of Maxima atoms and operators. There is a sense in which then, Maxima imposes an alternative form of mathematical notation for input purposes. This quite simply put is the current state of affairs with respect to doing what Maxima does using a language and syntax that is compatible with computers. Maxima users have to get used to the fact that, in general, they are in a sense constrained to use a different species of mathematical notation for composing input expressions. Operators are the ingredient where this fact becomes most obvious. 

There is a last subsection of this section that provides some insight into the issue of conventional mathematical notation and mathematical computer software systems such as Maxima. This subsection is included for those that have an interest. 

=== Maxima Operators ===

Maxima operators can be considered as belonging to the same categories as expressions:

* Mathematical operators
* Programming operators
* Object operators 

The technical details for some of these operators are found in sections of this book devoted to each of these categories of expressions.

It is worth repeating that built-in Maxima operators and operators defined in packages are, for better or worse, often referred to as ''functions'' and not ''operators''. This practice can lead to some confusion as there are also user-defined functions in the programming sense of the word, and then there is the mathematical concept of a function. For the sake of clarity and simplicity, in this book, Maxima operators and operators defined in packages are referred to simply as ''operators''.

Having made that point, it should be noted that users can define new operators with specified precedence, &lt;code&gt;remove&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;kill&lt;/code&gt; existing operator properties, or redefine the precedence of existing operators. Refer to the Maxima Documentation (section '''9.1 Introduction to operators''') for more information.

The general form of most Maxima operators is: &lt;code&gt;foo (args)&lt;/code&gt; where &lt;code&gt;args&lt;/code&gt; is a comma separated sequence of ''arguments'' – zero, one or many. For example:&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;maxima&quot;&gt;(%i3)	to_lisp (); /* an operator with zero arguments */ 
Type (to-maxima) to restart, ($quit) to quit Maxima.
:LISP-QUIET
NIL

MAXIMA&gt;	(to-maxima) 
Returning to Maxima
(%o3)	true

(%i4)	op ([1,arg]); /* an operator with one argument - a list object */
(%o4)	[

(%i5)	apply(f, [a1, a2, a3]); /* an operator with multiple arguments */
(%o5)	f(a1,a2,a3)

/* A list operator ( [ ) with two operators (op and args) as arguments */ 
(%i6)	[op (%i5), args (%i5)];
(%o6)	[apply,[f,[a1,a2,a3]]]&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;The operators &lt;code&gt;op(expr)&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;args(expr)&lt;/code&gt; can be useful for checking the &quot;main&quot; operator of expressions and the arguments of expressions.  

+.+  

=== Some Typical Categories, Descriptions and Examples of Maxima Operators ===
Maxima often-used operators include a colon ( &lt;code&gt;:&lt;/code&gt; ) for assignment,  &lt;code&gt;:=&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;define()&lt;/code&gt; for function definitions, and &lt;code&gt;block()&lt;/code&gt; for multi-line code. Examples include '''assignments''', '''function definitions''', '''loops''' '''or conditionals, and object expressions''', as exemplified below: [1, 2, 3]

===== Variable Assignment and Basic Math Expression Operators: =====

* &lt;code&gt;a : 5;&lt;/code&gt;  — assigns the value &lt;code&gt;5&lt;/code&gt;  to the name &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt; using a single colon.
* &lt;code&gt;poly : expand((x + y)^3);&lt;/code&gt; — expands a binomial expression and assigns the value to the name &lt;code&gt;poly&lt;/code&gt;.
* &lt;code&gt;subst(&lt;/code&gt;&lt;code&gt;x = 2, x^2 + y);&lt;/code&gt; — substitutes a value into an algebraic expression. [1, 2, 7]

===== User-Defined Functions and Built-In Operator Expressions: =====

* &lt;code&gt;block([s : 0], for i : 1 thru 10 do s : s + i, s);&lt;/code&gt; — a local variable &lt;code&gt;block&lt;/code&gt; operator that sums numbers from &lt;code&gt;1&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;10&lt;/code&gt; and returns the final value &lt;code&gt;s&lt;/code&gt; . [1, 2, 3, 11]

===== Object Operator Expressions: =====

* '''Lists''' '''and Sets:''' &lt;code&gt;[1, 2, x, y]&lt;/code&gt; builds a list object, while &lt;code&gt;{a, b, c}&lt;/code&gt; denotes a set object.

Official documentation and guides for operators are available through the Maxima Manual and the Maxima SourceForge Documentation Hub. [4, 5, 6]

=== Some Information Related to Mathematical Notation ===
There is no single, universal standard that dictates mathematical notation across all branches of math. Instead, notation varies by discipline, publisher, and sub-field. There are widely accepted conventions and formal frameworks that serve as references. The general topic of mathematical notation is beyond the scope of this book. However, mathematical notation does have some relevance in the context of Maxima as a computer algebra system.

Stephen Wolfram’s perspective in ''Mathematical Notation: Past and Future'' traces how symbols evolved from static, human-readable shorthand into active, executable computational language. The historical development moved from additive numerals and natural language prose toward structured operators and variables, while the future shifts toward programmatic, interactive, and &quot;computable&quot; expressions. [1, 2, 3, 4]

===== &lt;u&gt;The Past of Mathematical Notation&lt;/u&gt;: =====
* '''Evolution of Symbols:''' Early counting relied on unary notches and additive systems (like Egyptian hieroglyphs), eventually shifting to Hindu-Arabic base-10 positional numerals.
* '''Introduction of Operators:''' Algebraic variables, plus/minus signs, and calculus notations (such as Leibniz's &lt;math display=&quot;inline&quot;&gt;\operatorname{d}\!y/\operatorname{d}\!x

&lt;/math&gt; and &lt;math display=&quot;inline&quot;&gt;\int&lt;/math&gt; ) emerged primarily during the 16th and 17th centuries to replace cumbersome natural language descriptions.
* '''Standardization Limits:''' Traditional notation worked well for manual formula writing, but lacked any native capability to generalize into automated, multi-step computations or algorithmic processes. [3, 7]

===== &lt;u&gt;The Future of Mathematical Notation:&lt;/u&gt; =====
* '''Computational Language:''' Transitioning from passive text on paper to active, uniform symbolic structures.
* '''Programmatic Models:''' Replacing traditional passive equations with active programs capable of executing models across physics, biology, and social sciences.
* '''Universal Access:''' Utilizing interactive, graphical, and automated systems to democratize complex technical thinking much like mass literacy changed society centuries ago. [1, 4]

'''The Future of Notation:''' Read Stephen Wolfram's ''Mathematical Notation: Past and Future'' to learn how the history of notation shapes modern computation. [1]&lt;blockquote&gt;
''&quot;Now I have to tell you that I had always assumed that mathematical notation was too haphazard to be used as any kind of thing that a computer could reasonably interpret in a rigorous way. But at the beginning of the 1990s we got interested in making Mathematica be able to interact with mathematical notation. And so we realized that we really had to figure out what was going on with mathematical notation.''

''Neil Soiffer had spent quite a number of years working on editing and interpreting mathematical notation, and when he joined our company in 1991, he started trying to convince me that one really could work with mathematical notation in a reasonable way, for both output and input.''

''The output side was pretty straightforward: after all, TROFF and TeX already did a moderately good job with that.''

''The issue was input.''

''Well, actually, one already learned something from output. One learned that at least at some level, a lot of mathematical notation could be represented in some kind of context-free form. Because one knew that in TeX, for instance, one could set things up in a tree of nested boxes.''

''But how about input? Well, one of the biggest things was something that always comes up in parsing: if you have a string of text, with operands and operators, how do you tell what groups with what?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;''

''Taking Bearings: Artificial Intelligence in Knowledge Platforms and Open, Social Scholarship'' is an environmental scan of how AI is reshaping the infrastructures, practices, and institutions through which knowledge is produced, circulated, evaluated, and preserved. Drawing on more than one hundred and fifty sources and informed by earlier work on the theoretical foundations of open, social scholarship, it examines AI across three linked domains—the open, the social, and scholarship—and identifies four recurring tensions around authority, enclosure, capacity, and process. Together, these tensions show that AI is already affecting research, publishing, pedagogy, governance, and public knowledge exchange in ways that demand careful institutional response. The recommendations that follow highlight six areas where organizations can strengthen governance, protect scholarly integrity, and support more accountable and equitable engagement with AI.

== Summative Overview: A More Detailed Snapshot ==

For organizations and communities engaged in scholarly publishing, research infrastructure, library services, and public knowledge exchange, the rapid integration of artificial intelligence presents both immediate practical challenges and deep structural questions. This volume, ''Taking Bearings: Artificial Intelligence in Knowledge Platforms and Open, Social Scholarship'', synthesizes over one hundred and fifty sources to map this shifting terrain. Grounded in the principles of open, social scholarship, it is intended to clarify what is at stake in the current moment and to support informed, principled institutional responses.

The scan proceeds from a foundational observation: AI emerges from a broad, heterogeneous data ecology where scholarly knowledge holds a distinctive, perhaps disproportionately authoritative place. Generative AI and large language models models have been built from vast mixtures of web text, books, code, media, platform content, cultural materials, and other data sources; within that mixture, open scholarship, research data, metadata, citation networks, software, and institutional knowledge infrastructures help supply forms of credibility, structure, and epistemic authority that exceed their share by volume. The relationship between AI and scholarship is therefore fundamentally recursive, not because scholarship alone produced AI, but because AI systems increasingly draw upon, reorganize, and feed back into the same knowledge systems through which scholarship is discovered, evaluated, circulated, and trusted.

To map the practical implications of this shift, the scan unpacks the framework of open, social scholarship into its three constituent elements: openness, social engagement, and scholarly practice. Within each area, it examines how AI is changing existing workflows and raising new questions. Looking first at the open, the scan addresses open access, open data, open source, and open science—tracing how AI both depends on and threatens the principles of openness that have shaped scholarly communication over the past two decades. Turning to the social dimensions of this work, it examines platform governance, algorithmic moderation, critical literacies, and questions of coloniality, diversity, and justice—areas where AI's social consequences are most visible and most contested. Finally, regarding scholarship as a formal practice, it addresses research infrastructure, peer review, pedagogy, metadata, and the governance of knowledge institutions—where AI is most rapidly being integrated into professional life. Across all these three domains, four tensions recur with enough consistency to function as the scan's central analytic frame:

'''Operational assistance vs. epistemic authority''': While AI can reduce friction in many workflows, it raises fundamental concerns about where judgment, accountability, and interpretive responsibility should reside. 

'''Openness vs. enclosure''': The open infrastructure that has supported equitable access to knowledge is being absorbed into commercial AI systems in ways that may foreclose openness rather than extend it.

'''Technical capability vs. organizational capacity''': The pace of AI development consistently outstrips the ability of institutions to evaluate, govern, and respond thoughtfully.

'''Efficiency vs. process''': Although AI accelerates tasks, scholarly knowledge earns its credibility through deliberate, iterative processes of review and community validation that efficiency-oriented tools may erode.

These tensions resist neat resolution. What they mark, instead, are sites of genuine institutional choice—places where the decisions organizations make about adoption, governance, disclosure, and investment will have lasting consequences for how knowledge is produced, who benefits from it, and whether its production remains accountable to the communities it serves.

The following recommendations translate these findings into six areas where institutional attention is most needed. They are offered as points of orientation rather than prescriptions, in recognition that organizations differ in mission, scale, and resources. The analytical introduction that follows the recommendations provides the conceptual frameworks and intersectional analysis that underpin them. The annotated bibliography, organized by domain and sub-domain, provides the evidentiary foundation in the form of a structured guide to the literature for those who wish to engage with specific areas in depth.

== Recommendations: Summarized From the Analytical Overview ==

Building from the Executive Summary and Summative Overview, these recommendations serve as practical points of orientation for organizations and communities working to align AI adoption, refusal, adaptation, and design with the principles of open, social scholarship: 

:'''1. Establish collaborative and iterative AI governance'''.

AI adoption is fundamentally an organizational and ethical issue, not only a technical one. Decisions about these tools directly affect scholarly labour, institutional authority, access, and trust. Partner organizations should build governance models that draw on both technical and scholarly expertise. Because the technology shifts rapidly, policies and review structures must be designed for continuous evaluation rather than single-point approval. Governance should include explicit procedures for revisiting the boundary between operational assistance and epistemic authority as capabilities, risks, and disciplinary practices change.

:'''2. Preserve human responsibility in scholarly judgment'''.

A central tension identified in this volume is the distinction between operational assistance and epistemic authority. That distinction is necessary, but it is not fixed. AI can support routine tasks, and some tasks that once required substantial expert attention may become increasingly operationalized. Yet the critical judgment required to establish scholarly validity and exercise pedagogical care remains a strictly human responsibility, especially wherever decisions carry intellectual, professional, or public consequences. Institutions should clearly define the limits of appropriate AI use in contexts such as peer review, editorial assessment, pedagogical evaluation, and research interpretation, while also creating mechanisms for revising those limits as practices evolve.

:'''3. Require transparency in AI-mediated workflows'''.

Where AI is used in knowledge production and scholarship, its role must be made visible. The credibility of scholarly and public knowledge depends in part on clear provenance and process, and identifiable responsibility. Organizations should support disclosure standards that make AI use legible without reducing complex workflows to simplistic declarations, and should pair disclosure norms with provenance infrastructure such as persistent identifiers, content credentials, verifiable metadata, version histories, and workflow documentation. Maintaining epistemic integrity requires treating transparency as a basic requirement of scholarly communication.

:'''4. Invest in human capacity and critical literacy'''.

The scan repeatedly demonstrates that the primary challenge facing institutions is ensuring their communities are equipped to evaluate and use AI responsibly, regardless of what tools are available. This requires investment in staff development, pedagogical resources, and the kinds of critical literacy that help scholars and students interpret AI outputs, assess their limits, and recognize how these systems shape knowledge practices. Institutions differ widely in size, missions, and resources, and approaches to AI must be responsive to that unevenness. Capacity-building is therefore one of the preconditions for responsible engagement. 

:'''5. Protect and steward open knowledge from extractive enclosure'''.

Contemporary AI systems rely heavily on the scholarly commons and the unpaid labour of knowledge communities, even as the benefits of these systems are often unevenly distributed. Organizations committed to open, social scholarship should actively resist the ways AI may enclose, concentrate power, or extract value from shared resources without meaningful forms of reciprocity. Governance frameworks must therefore prioritize equitable benefit-sharing alongside licensing, consent, attribution, provenance, and machine-readable terms of use. Responsible participation in AI ecosystems requires attention to the conditions under which tools operate and the interests they serve, as much as to their capabilities. 

:'''6. Build inclusive processes for ongoing evaluation and response'''.

The technological landscape is shifting rapidly, and no single framework remains adequate for long. Institutions need mechanisms for periodic reassessment, community consultation, and iterative revision in response to the new domains and effects of changing technologies. Particular attention should be paid to whose perspectives are included in such processes, especially across differences of language, geography, discipline, institutional position, and ability. The issues identified here—including disclosure, hallucination, metadata generation, peer review, ethics, and infrastructure—point toward the need for sustained, focused follow-up work rather than one-time resolution. Promising areas for shorter, targeted interventions included AI-mediated scholarly discovery, provenance and content-credential infrastructure, community-built or purpose-specific models, integrity threats such as paper mills and synthetic citations, AI in hiring, promotion, grants, and fellowships, AI and open licensing, and AI's effects on open scholarly infrastructure.

      <text bytes="77390" sha1="fv2gp0pz3q9218jvdk8bgozn1i0jfv2" xml:space="preserve">This research scan surveys an emergent and contested terrain: the interlaced developments in artificial intelligence, generative AI, large language models (LLMs) and their predecessors, and the ways these systems are reshaping knowledge production, circulation, and engagement across scholarly and public contexts.

This scan uses artificial intelligence, or AI, as a broad umbrella term for computational systems designed to perform tasks associated with classification, prediction, reasoning, language processing, recommendation, perception, automation, or decision support. It uses generative AI, or genAI, more specifically for systems that generate text, images, code, audio, video, or other outputs in response to prompts, queries, or other inputs. Large language models, or LLMs, are a prominent subset of contemporary genAI systems trained to model and generate language. Because public disclosure often uses these terms interchangeably, this scan uses AI for the broader field and infrastructure, genAI where generative functions are specifically at issue, and LLM where the discussion concerns language-model systems in particular. The wider AI landscape includes technical architectures ranging from symbolic logic and &quot;good old-fashioned AI&quot; (GOFAI), through statistical natural language processing, to contemporary transformer-based genAI models, all situated within institutional and platform economies, cloud infrastructures, and evolving governance regimes (Jones 2023; Anderson 2024). These systems now recalibrate discretion, authority, and visiblity, influencing what is recognized as knowledge, who produces it, and how it moves among diverse publics. 

A brief historical distinction is useful here. AI has not developed through a single technical or ideological pathway. Symbolic approaches, prominent in early AI, treated intelligence as the manipulation of explicit rules, formal representation, and logical structures. Connectionist approaches, by contrast, emphasized distributed pattern recognition across networks of weighted relations. Contemporary deep learning and transformer-based genAI inherit much more from the connectionist tradition, especially its reliance on large datasets, statistical association, and learned representations rather than explicit rules. This inheritance helps explain why contemporary systems can be powerful aids for pattern detection, generation, and transformation, while remaining weak at grounding, verification, and accountable judgment. &quot;Hallucinations&quot;—false responses generated by AI that are especially misleading due to their plausible surfaces—stem from the inherent mathematical design of such systems, which are optimized to generate probable outputs rather than to verify claims within accountable epistemic communities. For fuller historical and critical accounts of these developments, see Jones (2023), Ali et al. (2023), Anderson (2024), and Whiteley (2023).

What emerges from this mapping is a complex phenomenology of entanglement. Generative AI is woven in part from scholarship's own materials—open access literature, research data, metadata schemas, citation networks, community-developed software, and collaborative data infrastructures. These are not the only, or even necessarily the largest, sources on which contemporary systems are trained. But they are unusually authoritative in that they help organize what counts as reliable knowledge, how claims are linked to evidence, how materials are discovered, and how intellectual legitimacy is conferred. The AI systems that now analyze, summarize, and generate scholarly text therefore draw upon knowledge infrastructures whose value has been built over decades by researchers, editors, librarians, publishers, software communities, institutions, and publics.

This recursive relationship positions scholarship as both one of AI's important knowledge substrates and one of its objects of transformation, but the entanglement runs deeper still. Scholarship does not merely feed AI systems; it is increasingly mediated by them. Researchers discover literature through AI-powered recommendation engines, draft manuscripts with generative assistants, and navigate peer review processes augmented by algorithmic triage. Students encounter AI both as subject of study and as tool for learning, while institutions struggle to develop governance frameworks adequate to technologies that evolve faster than policy cycles. The recursive loop—scholarship training AI training scholarship—creates conditions where distinguishing human from machine contribution becomes progressively more difficult, and where the very categories through which we understand authorship, originality, and expertise require renegotiation.

The organizing logic of this collection moves from foundational grounding through INKE-aligned focal points that structure the annotated bibliography itself. It first establishes essential contexts: the histories and theories of AI, including critical perspectives from Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Critical Digital Humanities; accounts of knowledge as relational, plural, and platformed; and the principles of Open Social Scholarship (OSS) as articulated by the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) Partnership and the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL). It then follows three focal threads—&quot;open&quot;, &quot;social&quot;, and &quot;scholarship&quot;—that mark key sites where AI's effects both align with and challenge OSS commitments to accessibility, reciprocity, participatory governance, and public engagement (Arbuckle et al. 2022; El Khatib et al. 2019).

Throughout, the ethos of Open Social Scholarship provides a normative coordinate: a set of principles for interpreting how AI mediates relations among researchers, institutions, communities, and publics. The focus is on how practices, infrastructures, and relations are changing, and how these shifts intersect with OSS values. Which concepts, practices, actors, infrastructures, and frictions are currently reconfiguring the conditions of knowledge and engagement? Where do these movements align with, complicate, or unsettle OSS principles of accessibility, reciprocity, and public value? By attending closely to these dynamics—openness entangled with enclosure, provenance linked to trust, bias in tension with diversity, governance negotiated through participation—a conceptual scaffolding emerges for further analysis and empirical inquiry.

A critical OSS response to AI need not only be defensive. The same systems that threaten enclosure, decontextualization, and epistemic flattening may, under different governance conditions, support broader forms of scholarly engagement: multilingual and plain-language summaries, alternative format outputs, assistive reading and navigation, metadata enrichment, participatory annotation, community translation, and more accessible pathways into specialized research. These possibilities in no way cancel the risks identified throughout this scan. Rather, they clarify the architectural task lying ahead of open, social scholarship: to ask what forms of AI-mediated scholarship can be built under conditions of reciprocity, transparency, care, public value, and shared authority.

== Four Cross-Cutting Tensions ==

The sources assembled here reveal four cross-cutting tensions that structure AI's engagement with scholarship. None admits of simple resolution—each marks a site where choices about AI design and deployment carry real stakes for knowledge production, and where different communities are actively negotiating trade-offs that no technical fix can settle.

'''Operational assistance versus epistemic authority'''. While AI can reduce friction in many workflows, it raises fundamental questions about where judgment, accountability, and interpretive responsibility should reside, and how those boundaries should be renegotiated as tools, practices, and disciplinary norms change. AI excels at standardized tasks—formatting, initial drafts, pattern identification, literature triage—while struggling with the evaluative judgment that gives scholarship its value. The challenge lies in leveraging assistance without ceding authority, using AI capabilities while preserving human responsibility for consequential decisions. When does operational support cross into epistemic territory? How should that boundary be renegotiated as capabilities shift, practices stabilize, and disciplinary communities develop new norms? 

This boundary is historically and institutionally variable. Reference verification, metadata enrichment, formatting, and duplication checks may increasingly be treated as operational tasks. Literature triage, evidence synthesis, translation, and review assistance venture into more contested terrain. Assessments of originality, significance, methodological adequacy, interpretive force, and public consequence continue to require accountable human judgment. The problem of governance is therefore not one of simply drawing a fixed, indelible line once, but to define processes through which scholarly communities can revisit that line over time.

The fluency of AI-generated text can mask the absence of understanding; the appearance of authority can obscure the statistical operations underneath. Sun (2025) emphasizes that models, by definition, are constrained in how they evaluate the novelty of research—they can recognize patterns but cannot evaluate whether patterns matter. This distinction is integral to peer review, research methods, pedagogy, and governance, and each requires clarity about where AI can appropriately assist and where human judgment must remain central.

'''Openness versus enclosure'''. The open infrastructure that has supported equitable access to knowledge is being absorbed into commercial AI systems in ways that may foreclose openness rather than extend it, and the trajectory of this tension will shape whether AI serves broad publics or narrow interests. Open access literature feeds model pretraining; this raises serious concerns about a new enclosure dynamic, in which freely accessible works become inputs for proprietary AI systems that generate commercial value without meaningful reciprocity. Pooley (2024) reveals a troubling symmetry in the underlying asymmetry: both commercial publishers and AI developers extract value from the scholarly commons while returning little to the researchers who create it. The licensing frameworks developed for human readers require substantial adaptation to govern machine consumption, where attribution and context preservation present fundamentally different challenges. Community-sourced data and labour underwrite AI functions, yet the question of whether benefits return to those communities remains contested.

'''Technical capability versus organizational capacity'''. The pace of AI development consistently outstrips the ability of institutions to evaluate, govern, and respond thoughtfully, and the gap between what AI can technically accomplish and what institutions can responsibly deploy constitutes a critical site of intervention.  Building capacity for thoughtful AI adoption requires sustained investment in skills, governance structures, and evaluative frameworks. Weber et al. (2023) identify organizational capabilities as crucial mediators, noting failures often stem from organizational incapacity to manage sociotechnical complexity. Resource-intensive approaches assume capacities—technical staff, governance infrastructure, training budgets, and time for implementation—that are unevenly distributed across institutions and communities. These differences do not map neatly onto institutional size or prestige: large research universities may have more formal infrastructure, but also larger user bases, more complex bureaucracies, and interventions that can become less responsive to local needs. Smaller institutions such as community colleges, public libraries, independent scholarly organizations, and grassroots knowledge projects may face different constraints, including limited staffing, funding, or access to specialized expertise. Across all contexts, institutions are encountering unforeseen complexities for which existing governance structures may be poorly prepared. This tension requires attention to differential institutional positions and the development of governance models that remain humane, adaptable, and scalable across varied contexts. 

'''Efficiency versus process'''. Although AI accelerates tasks, scholarly knowledge earns its credibility through deliberate, iterative processes of review and community validation that efficiency-oriented tools may erode. Pedagogical and scholarly transformations require valuing cognitive work that AI cannot replicate, and education involves developing capacities through practice, not just acquiring outputs. The speed and fluency of AI-generated text can mask the erasure of the deliberative processes—reading, synthesizing, drafting, revising—through which understanding develops. Deng et al. (2025) find that ChatGPT improves student performance while reducing mental effort, raising questions about what learning means when cognitive work is offloaded to machines. The compression of research, writing, and discovery processes may generate outputs while eroding the developmental experiences that scholarly communities value. Process-centred assessment, transparent documentation, and attention to the formative dimensions of intellectual work become crucial responses.

These tensions recur throughout the bibliography's domains. They structure debates about AI in peer review, pedagogy, platform governance, and infrastructure design. Understanding them as ongoing negotiations rather than problems awaiting solution helps position responsible engagement with AI's transformative effects.

== Fundamentals and Ideologies of AI ==
The prominence of generative AI and LLMs is rooted in layered histories. Early symbolic AI attempted to encode knowledge as explicit rules and representations. Statistical natural language processing redirected attention to learning patterns from data. Deep learning, accelerated by transformer architectures and large-scale computation, now underpins models that generate fluent text, code, and images (Jones 2023). Each wave is embedded in institutional settings, funding regimes, and sociotechnical imaginaries that combine benchmark cultures, optimization logics, data abundance, and investor narratives of efficiency and disruption. The concept of &quot;sociotechnical imaginaries&quot; provides crucial analytical purchase for understanding how collective visions shape governance and discourse; as Mao, Richter, and Katzenbach (2025) demonstrate, these imaginaries function performatively, actively mobilizing resources, legitimating interventions, and establishing trajectories for development. The figure of &quot;intelligence&quot; functions here as a sociotechnical imaginary: a collective vision that orients research agendas, policy priorities, and public expectations, often sidelining questions of transparency, accountability, and epistemic pluralism.

Understanding contemporary AI requires genealogical attention to its intellectual origins and the sociotechnical imaginaries that have shaped its development. The transition from symbolic AI to statistical learning—from explicit knowledge representation to pattern recognition across massive datasets—represents a fundamental reorientation of assumptions about what counts as intelligence and whose knowledge gets represented. As Jones (2023) argues, the shift toward &quot;empiricist&quot; approaches that capitalize on the &quot;unreasonable effectiveness of data&quot; threatens professions centred on particularity while demonstrating that AI functions as a reflection of human creations including their best and worst traits.

Anderson's (2024) examination of John McCarthy's foundational program reveals AI as philosophical ideology—a vision of perfectly rational abstraction built upon objectivism and scientism that has &quot;come to serve as a blind for increasing techno-corporate control of society.&quot; McCarthy's conception of artificial intelligence as a &quot;stripped down model of human mental engagement without emotional qualities&quot; established patterns that continue to shape the field: the subordination of interpretive judgment to formal optimization, the bracketing of contextual understanding in favor of scalable pattern matching, and the assumption that intelligence admits of decomposition into modular, transferable components. Ali et al. (2023) extend this analysis by situating AI within broader genealogies of industrialization and colonialism, identifying threads of hidden labour, encoded behaviour, and cognitive injustice running through AI's history—positioning AI as the flagship of the Information Age conditioned by the Management Age.

The term &quot;artificial intelligence&quot; itself warrants critical scrutiny. As Whiteley (2023) observes, the phrase anthropomorphizes what is essentially computer-assisted statistical analysis, encouraging expectations and trust that the technology cannot warrant. This terminological slippage—from statistical prediction to &quot;intelligence&quot;—exemplifies how language shapes perception and, through perception, governance. The sources in this bibliography provide conceptual resources for more precise description that preserves space for human agency, critical evaluation, and alternative design pathways.

Critical perspectives from Digital Humanities (DH) and Science, Technology and Society (STS) supply key interpretive tools. They foreground the ways datasets, labels, and evaluation metrics encode values and worldviews; how training regimes replicate archival absences and classification politics; and how the defaults embedded in language, genre, and culture travel into outputs, with particular consequences for marginalized communities. Bender et al. (2021) critically analyze how larger models reproduce hegemonic views: size does not guarantee diversity, because the communities most underrepresented in training data are also those most likely to bear the downstream costs of systems built without them. Automation theory highlights AI as a redistribution of discretion and authority: tasks that once required situated human judgment are delegated to systems that lack context, while accountability structures struggle to keep pace.

Berry (2025) theorizes this moment as &quot;the Inversion&quot; under &quot;computational capitalism&quot; where machine-generated works reshape meaning-making infrastructure, producing &quot;AI slop&quot; that infiltrates information ecosystems with garbled meaning. His concept of &quot;diffusionisation&quot; describes how AI systems dissolve cultural forms into probabilistic vector spaces and reconstitute them through latent space manipulation—a process that transforms the infrastructure of meaning-making itself. This moves beyond mechanical reproduction toward what Berry theorizes as &quot;post-consciousness,&quot; where boundaries between individual and synthetic consciousness become porous. The concept challenges scholars to attend not merely to AI outputs but to how generative systems transform the very grounds upon which experience and meaning are constituted.

Environmental and labour analyses add further layers, tracing the energy-intensive training runs and precarious annotation and moderation work that underpin current capabilities. Klein et al. (2025) argue that AI's statistical enactment of ideology imposes an objectivist European modernist framework upon data, making issues of &quot;bias&quot; unsolvable through technical means alone—even the distinction between &quot;pure&quot; and &quot;toxic&quot; training data reflects ideological commitments. They propose that smaller, purpose-built models developed through genuine interdisciplinary collaboration offer a path forward, one where &quot;technical researchers must recognize the institutional asymmetries&quot; that currently disadvantage humanistic approaches.

Relations with OSS-aligned communities complicate this picture. Open-source software, open datasets, and commons-based peer production have been central to AI's development; influential models rely on openly shared corpora and community-built tools. At the present inflection point, however, pressures toward enclosure are intensifying. Recent work by the Open Source Initiative on open source AI, including its 1.0 Open Source AI Definition, clarifies that releasing model weights alone is not equivalent to full openness. Meaningful openness also depends on access to documentation, code, data information, use rights, and other artifacts needed to understand, modify, and reuse a system. This clarification responds to broader concerns about “openwashing,” in which companies describe AI systems as open while releasing models under restrictive licenses, with incomplete documentation, or without access to key development artifacts. White et al. (2024) similarly develop the Model Openness Framework, establishing a three-tiered classification that shows AI “openness” exists on a spectrum, from minimal weight release to fuller disclosure of training data, intermediate checkpoints, code, documentation, and development practices. Rather than a simple binary between open and closed, the field is experimenting with hybrid forms—open weights under usage constraints, community checkpoints, and permissive yet bounded licenses—that seek to reconcile accessibility with risk management and intellectual property considerations. 

Vake et al. (2025) find the open-source AI community depends on businesses to develop base models—there are few incentives for companies to release openly because doing so risks intellectual property and competitive advantage. This structural dependence raises questions about whether open AI can genuinely serve public interests or will remain subordinated to commercial imperatives. These choices shape not only technical access, but also epistemic legitimacy and the capacity for public oversight, critique, and repair.

== Geographic Diversity in AI Imaginaries ==

The imaginaries circulating around AI vary significantly across geographic and political-economic contexts, challenging narratives of technological inevitability that treat AI development as following a single universal trajectory. Mao, Richter, and Katzenbach's (2025) comparative analysis across the United States, China, and Germany reveals heterogeneous and often contradictory imaginaries even within single regulatory regimes. Where US discourse fragments across multiple geographic AI hubs, German imaginaries centre on EU policy compliance and regulatory frameworks, while Chinese articulations align tightly with party-state directives that minimize local variation.

Building on the varied sociotechnical imaginaries discussed earlier, Chung (2025) extends this analysis to economically advanced but geographically non-dominant Asian societies—Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan—demonstrating how &quot;techno-developmentalism&quot; produces distinct imaginaries shaped by local political-economic conditions and historical trajectories. These varied articulations challenge the Global North/South binary that structures much AI governance literature, revealing that AI development trajectories remain contingent and shaped by specific political choices rather than following universal technological imperatives.

The imaginaries circulating around AI shape technical design itself. Van Es and Nguyen (2024) demonstrate how ChatGPT's self-representations—82% depicting humanoid forms—strategically cultivate anthropomorphic imaginaries that encourage overlooking ethical and legal challenges. The friendly assistant persona, surrounded by books and radiating futuristic light, constructs a humanoid image of trustworthy intellectual companionship that obscures the statistical operations underneath.

For scholarly communities, these developments necessitate specifically humanities-oriented engagement. Chun and Elkins (2023) argue that humanities-oriented pedagogy offers distinctive resources for this moment, insisting that the most effective AI tools amplify rather than replace human intellectual engagement—a claim developed more fully in the Critical Literacies section below.

== Knowledge Foundations ==

In this framework, knowledge appears as a relational practice rooted in communities, languages, and infrastructures. Three dimensions are especially salient for understanding AI's impact: diversity, mobilization, and platforms.

'''Diversity'''. Epistemic, cultural, linguistic, and methodological plurality are conditions for robust, public-facing scholarship. Models trained predominantly on dominant corpora risk misrecognition and erasure, flattening the diversity that constitutes human knowledge. Arbuckle (2020) articulates diversity as fundamental to legitimate knowledge translation, emphasizing inclusive modes of engagement and participatory approaches that honour varied ways of knowing. In response, approaches such as community governance of data, participatory evaluation, and multilingual modelling work to adapt tools to difference rather than requiring difference to conform to tools. Crompton et al. (2020) address how community governance can safeguard plural representation in data infrastructures like Wikidata, demonstrating that technical systems encode choices about whose knowledge counts and how it gets categorized. The FAIR principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable—offer a technical framework for data stewardship, while the CARE principles—Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics—introduce dimensions of sovereignty, consent, and community benefit that are especially important for Indigenous data and other contexts shaped by power asymmetries (Carroll et al. 2020; Carroll et al. 2021).

'''Mobilization'''. Knowledge mobilization concerns how research travels and is taken up across domains: from scholarship to policy, from specialist discourses to public understanding, from the classroom to community settings. Generative tools can accelerate synthesis and enhance accessibility by producing multilingual summaries, plain-language translations, and alternative-format outputs. The same tools can also increase the volume and velocity of decontextualized or misleading claims. Winter (2023) frames policy as a vehicle for mobilization emphasizing provenance and accountability—mechanisms that become ever more crucial when automated systems mediate between research and its publics. Jensen (2023) connects commons-based infrastructures to mobilization pathways, highlighting how interoperability and community practices shape whether knowledge flows toward public benefit or private capture. A central challenge is ensuring that speed does not erode fidelity, and that reach does not come at the expense of context or community consent.

The Canadian HSS Commons exemplifies mobilization infrastructure designed around principles of reciprocity and community responsiveness. Winter et al. (2020) describe how this platform instantiates governance mechanisms, provenance tracking, and dialogic engagement in a Canadian context, offering a concrete model for how digital research communities might align with OSS values. The Commons demonstrates that alternatives to extractive platform models are possible when design priorities centre community benefit and participatory governance.

'''Infrastructure and Platforms'''. Repositories, journals, preprint servers, and social scholarly tools form the infrastructural backbone of scholarly communication due to their ubiquity, reliability, and invisibility (Plantin et al. 2018). AI-mediated functions such as search, recommendation, summarization, moderation, and peer review reshape relations of production, discoverability, and legitimacy. Turning research outputs into training data for AI technologies creates a process of platformization of digital research infrastructure, in which the research process is commodified and turned into data for publishers and corporations to exploit while excluding the research community from the governance of these infrastructures. Bullard (2023) reveals how metadata shapes these dynamics, demonstrating that descriptive schemas determine what gets found, how it gets categorized, and whose work becomes visible. Goddard (2021) positions persistent identifiers as crucial connective tissue for provenance and interoperability, enabling the traceability that accountability requires. Whether platforms act as commons or proprietary funnels depends on decisions about interoperability, open standards, licensing, and governance. Colbert-Lewis et al. (2024) examine the citation economy as a site of extraction for surveillance publishing, documenting how publishers have transitioned to technology-driven data brokers that monetize researcher behaviour alongside research outputs. Seemingly technical or back-end decisions structure how knowledge circulates and who benefits from that circulation.

== Open Social Scholarship Principles ==

Open Social Scholarship, as developed by INKE and ETCL, characterizes scholarship as a public, collaborative practice sustained by open, participatory, and ethically governed infrastructures (Arbuckle et al. 2022; El Khatib et al. 2019). Within this frame, AI is evaluated not solely on technical metrics but on whether it strengthens dialogic exchange, lowers barriers without reproducing harm, and supports reciprocal engagement rather than unilateral extraction. Openness is coupled with care; accessibility with accountability; participation with shared authority. Arbuckle and Maxwell (2019) move beyond open access by emphasizing infrastructure choices and governance as sites where values are enacted—recognizing that technical decisions embed normative commitments about who can participate, on what terms, and toward what ends. Maxwell (2015) argues that &quot;access&quot; alone proves insufficient; usability and community-responsive workflows reposition openness as an ecosystem with embedded care and accountability.

This also gives OSS a constructive role in relation to AI. Rather than approaching AI only as an external threat to be resisted, OSS can help specify what accountable alternatives would require: community-shaped tools, transparent provenance, accessible interfaces, multilingual and multimodal engagement, benefit-sharing where public or community knowledge is used, and governance arrangements that keep interpretive authority distributed rather than concentrated in proprietary systems.

Several principles translate into analytical vantage points for observing AI's effects:

'''Openness with care''' balances access with consent and community control, recognizing that uncontrolled circulation can facilitate extraction when reciprocity is absent (Carroll et al. 2020). Some knowledge requires protection; openness can become extractive when divorced from attention to power asymmetries and community interests.

'''Participation with shared authority''' embeds publics and communities in the design, evaluation, and governance of AI tools, rather than positioning them as passive recipients. Engagement becomes genuine partnership, not consultation that leaves final decisions to technical experts.

'''Accessibility''' is treated as multidimensional, spanning language, different ableness, technical literacy, and the digital divides that structure who can engage with AI-mediated scholarship. True accessibility requires attention to the multiple barriers—linguistic, economic, infrastructural—that shape unequal participation.

'''Reciprocity and benefit-sharing''' acquire particular weight where community-sourced data, scholarship, cultural material or labour underwrite AI functions; the question of whether benefits return to those communities becomes central. In heterogeneous training-data environments, reciprocity cannot always mean simple one-to-one compensation or attribution. It may also require collective mechanisms: investment in public infrastructure, support for community-governed datasets, licensing arrangements, provenance standards, access rights, audit mechanisms, and benefit-sharing models that recognize the distributed labour through which knowledge systems are built.

'''Infrastructural responsibility''' assigns institutions ongoing obligations to steward provenance, auditability, and accountability across the AI lifecycle—from adoption through monitoring, incident response, and iterative refinement. 

These principles serve as lenses that help clarify where choices around AI align with OSS values and where they introduce new tensions. They support a descriptive, attuned stance that remains open to emerging research, changing practices, and the contested meanings that animate debates over AI's place in scholarship.

== AI and &quot;Open&quot; ==

Openness operates across several registers—access, data, source, science, and social scholarship—and AI interacts differently with each. The recursive relationship between AI and openness demands particular attention: open access literature, open data, open source software, open standards, and community-maintained infrastructures have all contributed to the conditions under which contemporary AI systems became possible. Yet these resources now circulate within systems that often tend toward enclosure, secrecy, and commercial capture. The result is not a simple opposition between open and closed, but a contested field in which openness can serve public knowledge, enable scrutiny, and support community adaptation, while also becoming a reservoir from which private systems extract value without adequate attribution, consent, or reciprocity. 

=== Open Access ===

Open access literature forms one important input into model pretraining, retrieval-augmented generation, summarization, and later synthesis, while a dark shadow has fallen over how works licensed for broad human access are being repurposed for machine processing, private capture, and commercial value extraction. Pooley (2024) critically examines how commercial publishers frame AI companies as &quot;free-riders&quot; while themselves profiting from unpaid scholarly labour, extending &quot;surveillance publishing&quot; into AI domains. His analysis reveals a troubling symmetry: both commercial publishers and AI developers extract value from the scholarly commons while returning little to the researchers who create it. Kember and Brand (2023) document how OA policies may unintentionally contribute to greater consolidation enabling &quot;corporate capture&quot;—a warning that good intentions around openness can produce perverse outcomes when power asymmetries remain unaddressed.

Licensing frameworks and machine-access provisions influence whether open access functions as a commons or a reservoir for extraction. Luth (2025) examines how stakeholders navigate AI training on Creative Commons content, finding compliance often uncertain and highlighting strategies for protecting shared knowledge while sustaining open ecosystems. Smith (2025) analyzes how existing licenses perform in machine learning contexts, noting most were drafted without anticipating large-scale AI training and proposing machine-readable licensing provisions that could clarify terms and enable technical enforcement. These analyses suggest that the licensing frameworks developed for human readers require substantial adaptation to govern machine consumption, where attribution and context preservation present fundamentally different challenges.

AI thus makes open licensing a live infrastructural question rather than a settled legal background condition. Licensors, libraries, funders, publishers, repositories, and scholarly communities will need to clarify how open licenses apply to machine reading, text and data mining, model training, retrieval-augmented generation, and downstream synthetic outputs. The important question here is whether the use of open materials preserves attribution, context, reciprocity, and the public purposes for which openness was advanced.

The dual role of open access—as both input to AI development and public good in its own right—underscores the importance of provenance-aware summarization, appropriate attribution, and consent mechanisms that reflect authors' and communities' intentions. When AI models synthesize open access literature, questions of attribution become vexed: whose work is represented in a probabilistic blend? How can communities maintain oversight of how their contributions are used?

=== Open Data ===

Open data, crucial for reproducibility and model improvement, raises issues of privacy, consent, and community sovereignty, especially in relation to sensitive or Indigenous data. The CARE principles complement FAIR by centring collective benefit, authority to control, responsibility, and ethics (Carroll et al. 2020). Carroll et al. (2020) ground these principles in the structural biases and colonization processes producing &quot;epistemicide,&quot; directly addressing tensions between Indigenous Data Sovereignty and AI's voracious data demands. Their framework demonstrates that open data governance constitutes a political practice, where broad data sharing and algorithmic extraction can undermine the rights, consent, and collective interests of communities whose knowledge becomes training material.

Carroll et al. (2021) demonstrate FAIR and CARE operationalized together. Because many scientific datasets contain Indigenous Knowledge, applying CARE principles ensures this data is oriented toward community wellbeing through rigorous provenance tracking and appropriate governance models. Arrangements such as data trusts, tiered access, and purpose-bound licenses illustrate how openness can be conditioned: open to whom, for which purposes, under what accountability terms?

Documentation practices emerge as crucial infrastructure for responsible AI development. Bender and Friedman (2018) propose data statements as critical in enabling infrastructure to reduce exclusion and bias in language technologies, arguing that such documentation can prevent misrepresentation and support more ethical system development. Boyd (2021) empirically demonstrates that documentation frameworks increase engineers' ethical sensitivity—through think-aloud sessions, practitioners who received Datasheets identified ethical issues earlier and more frequently. This finding challenges assumptions that openness automatically leads to fairer systems; structured documentation actively shapes how practitioners recognize and respond to potential harms.

=== Open Source ===

Open source dynamics in AI include open weights, permissive licenses, and community checkpoints that support verification, plural innovation, and public-interest development. At the same time, discussions of misuse and dual-use emphasize capability control and risk. White et al. (2024) establish a Model Openness Framework with three-tiered classification, codifying 17 components that expose the requirements for reproducibility and scrutiny. Graduated openness—incremental model releases, safety mitigations, and governance charters—appears as one path toward balancing transparency with harm reduction. The evolution of open models will influence the accessibility of AI to under-resourced institutions, public-interest researchers, and communities seeking to adapt technologies to local contexts.

The Open Source Initiative's Open Source AI Definition 1.0, released in 2024, provides criteria for describing an AI system as &quot;Open Source AI,&quot; including the freedoms to use, study, modify, and share, access to the preferred form for modification, and sufficient information about training data provenance. As a definition rather than a license or implementation practice, it offers a community standard for assessing whether licenses, releases, and documentation practices support genuine openness, including whether &quot;open weights&quot; claims are matched by the artifacts, permissions, and transparency needed to avoid openwashing.

=== Open Science ===

Open science principles encourage reproducible workflows—transparent notebooks, containers, pipelines, and documentation—while AI introduces dependencies that can be opaque and difficult to reproduce. Practices such as open benchmarking, model cards, data cards, and documentation standards aim to make training data, evaluation metrics, and known limitations more visible. The push and pull between speed and scrutiny is pronounced in AI-assisted research: rapid exploration can generate insights, yet robust claims require validation, transparency, and often slower processes.

The tension between efficiency and process manifests acutely in open science contexts. AI can accelerate literature review, code generation, and data analysis, but the compression of these processes may obscure the iterative work through which understanding develops. Open science's emphasis on showing work—through preregistration, open notebooks, and transparent reporting—provides resources for maintaining visibility even as AI augments research workflows.

=== Open Social Scholarship ===

Within open social scholarship, AI is approached as a means to enhance public dialogue and shared inquiry. Examples include co-authorship with non-academic collaborators, explicit attribution of AI assistance, and participatory governance of tools in community-engaged projects (Arbuckle et al. 2022). Alignment with OSS principles is assessed by whether AI-supported practices sustain reciprocity, accessibility, and shared authority in knowledge production, and whether technological mediation amplifies rather than displaces human voice, agency, and accountability.

The feedback relationship—scholarship as training data, AI as scholarly tool—manifests throughout these registers. Open access literature trains models that then summarize open access literature. Peer review norms shape training data that then assists peer review. Pedagogical materials become training data for tools used in teaching. This recursion creates feedback loops whose effects on scholarly practice remain to be fully understood.

== AI and &quot;Social&quot; ==

The &quot;social&quot; dimension concerns the distribution of attention, credibility, and participation within and beyond academia. AI now helps mediate content creation, curation, and moderation, altering these distributions in ways that merit close scrutiny.

=== Platforms and Synthetic Content ===

Platforms hosting synthetic content must contend with provenance and identity. As generated text, images, and deepfake media proliferate, distinguishing among forms of authorship becomes more complex, with direct implications for trust and credibility. Van Es and Nguyen (2024) show that these anthropomorphic imaginaries are not incidental: they are actively constructed through ChatGPT's own self-representations, which consistently project a friendly, humanoid intellectual companion that obscures the statistical operations underneath. Mitra, Cramer, and Gurevich (2024) diagnose &quot;information access&quot; under generative AI as &quot;sociotechnical settlement&quot;—models &quot;intermediate credibility, reshape attention, and re-allocate epistemic authority.&quot; Their framing positions AI-mediated search and synthesis as fundamentally reconfiguring who gets heard, whose claims become visible, and whose expertise counts.

Recommendation systems juggle personalization, diversity, and serendipity, shaping canon formation and the visibility of marginalized voices. Attention economies are being reshaped: some work is surfaced and amplified; other work is obscured, sometimes by design and sometimes as a side effect of algorithmic optimization. Content credentials—cryptographic signatures and rich metadata—attempt to record origin and transformation history, while questions persist about whether such mechanisms can scale to match the velocity of synthetic content production. For scholarly communication, such mechanisms should be treated as part of the infrastructure of citation, preservation, disclosure, and accountability; their value depends on whether they can travel across repositories, journals, platforms, and public interfaces without being stripped of context.

=== Governance, Moderation, and Policy ===

Leadership, governance, moderation, and policy become iterative and layered rather than singular and top-down. Universities, libraries, journals, and repositories intersect with platform governance in setting norms for AI-assisted authorship, disclosure, review, and engagement. Sartori and Theodorou (2022) view AI as a &quot;magnifying glass&quot; amplifying existing inequities—a framing that clarifies bias as an older problem than the technology and locates responsibility in social structures and institutional choices. Their analysis challenges approaches that treat fairness as achievable through algorithmic adjustment alone, arguing that human control requires institutional mechanisms for contestation that acknowledge AI practice as fundamentally political.

Akter et al. (2021) theorize algorithmic bias as emerging from interacting sources—data bias, method bias, and societal bias—demonstrated through Australia's Robo-Debt scheme, which inherited and amplified existing inequities through automated decision-making. Their framework implicitly contests technological determinism by revealing how managerial choices about data collection priorities, acceptable error rates, and stakeholder consultation shape algorithmic outcomes in ways that exceed engineering decisions.

Jensen et al. (2022) address governance and moderation as platform design commitments aligned with OSS values, showing how choices about community safety and trust shape the kinds of scholarship platforms can support. Transparency reports, appeal procedures, and community-based moderation seek to address harms while preserving legitimate expression. Policy becomes experimental, subject to revision as impacts, unintended consequences, and community norms evolve.

=== Critical Literacies ===

Critical literacies, for both scholars and publics, extend beyond operational proficiency. They involve understanding model limits, recognizing sources of bias, interpreting provenance signals, and practising verification. Chun and Elkins (2023) position AI's advancement as precipitating interlocking crises demanding pedagogical response grounded in reflective and collaborative meaning-making, explicitly connecting pedagogical design to civic preparation and positioning students as &quot;critically engaged citizens capable of interrogating the social and economic implications of algorithmic mediation.&quot; Zeffiro (2024) reveals how corporate narratives of AI as &quot;democratizing force&quot; obscure differential vulnerabilities while &quot;automating insecurities&quot;—a concept capturing how AI tools institutionalize particular understandings of risk that reflect corporate priorities rather than community needs.

These literacies include skills such as documenting AI use, distinguishing synthesis from source, reading expressions of uncertainty, and maintaining awareness of the gap between fluency and accuracy. The ease with which AI produces confident-sounding text makes discrimination skills more important: fluency does not indicate accuracy, and the appearance of authority can mask the absence of understanding.

=== Global Asymmetries and Epistemic Centralization ===

AI’s geopolitical dimensions draw attention to questions of influence, globalism, and colonization. Training regimes often reproduce global asymmetries in language and corpus composition: English-language and Global North sources dominate, while linguistic and epistemic diversity from other regions receive less representation. Bender et al. (2021) critically analyze how larger models reproduce hegemonic views, noting that the damages associated with large-scale language models—environmental costs, representational harms, concentration of power—are more likely to fall on marginalized populations.

Chung (2025) extends geographic scope to Asia's advanced economies, revealing how techno-developmentalism produces distinct imaginaries shaped by local political-economic conditions. Multilingual models, community-owned datasets, and South–South collaborations seek to counteract epistemic centralization, yet the structural dynamics of extraction without reciprocity remain strong. Arthur et al. (2021) reveal how national policy shapes whether openness reduces or reproduces inequities, showing that structural barriers—funding models, institutional incentives, infrastructure gaps—mediate between stated commitments to openness and their realization in practice.

Debates over determinism, diversity, and justice challenge narratives of technological inevitability. Sartori and Theodorou (2022) extend this analysis to the global scale, emphasizing that adoption choices, design priorities, and evaluation metrics remain matters of collective agency—and that the communities most affected by AI's asymmetries are precisely those least represented in the governance structures that shape them. Justice-oriented evaluation foregrounds the distribution of harms and benefits, rather than focusing solely on aggregate performance: who is helped, who is harmed, and along which axes of power and marginalization?

=== Humanity, Community, Connection, and the Affective Dimensions of AI Mediation ===

Beyond the technical and governance dimensions, AI mediation carries affective and relational aspects that shape scholarly communication in subtle but significant ways. Generative systems influence the tone and velocity of discourse and can intensify polarization or foster connection depending on design choices and deployment contexts. The ability to flood channels with synthetic text or avatars strains existing trust infrastructures, creating new challenges for maintaining the relational fabric of scholarly communities.

Design choices that emphasize care—thoughtful moderation, friction for high-risk actions, community control of spaces—become part of scholarly platform ethics. These choices counter acceleration and decontextualization that undermine deliberation and mutual recognition. The question moves beyond whether AI produces accurate outputs, to whether AI-mediated environments support the kinds of dialogue, disagreement, and collaborative inquiry that scholarship requires. Connection and community constitute values that technical efficiency can erode if left unattended.

Jensen et al. (2022) explore how digital communities of care can be fostered through attention to safety, security, and trust—values that require ongoing cultivation rather than one-time technical implementation. The relational dimensions of scholarship—mentorship, collaboration, peer recognition, collegial support—may be affected by AI mediation in ways that exceed questions of accuracy or efficiency.

=== Environmental and Labour Costs ===

Material costs, both labour and environmental, ground AI capability in ways that often remain invisible. The AI pipeline depends on precarious annotation and moderation labour, often transnational and underpaid. Workers in the Global South perform essential tasks—labelling training data, flagging harmful content, refining model outputs—under conditions that rarely feature in celebratory narratives of AI advancement. This hidden labour connects AI development to broader patterns of extraction and externalization, where the costs of technological systems are displaced onto vulnerable populations.

Energy and water consumption for training and deployment contribute to climate impacts that intersect with environmental justice concerns. Bender et al. (2021) observe that the damages associated with large-scale language models—environmental costs, representational harms, concentration of power—&quot;are more likely to fall on marginalized populations.&quot; The communities least likely to benefit from AI capabilities bear disproportionate burdens from their development.

Disclosure norms, ethical procurement, and commitments to &quot;green AI&quot; bring these dimensions into infrastructural planning rather than treating them as externalities. For institutions committed to sustainability and justice, AI adoption cannot be evaluated solely on functional criteria; the material conditions of AI production become relevant to responsible deployment decisions. This connects AI governance to broader institutional commitments around environmental responsibility and labour ethics.

== AI and &quot;Scholarship&quot; ==

Across the scholarly lifecycle, AI now participates in research, writing, teaching, review, and administration, changing how practice and infrastructure co-evolve. The tension between operational assistance and epistemic authority manifests at each stage.

=== Research Methods and Practice ===

Research methods and practices incorporate LLMs for literature review, coding, data cleaning, translation, and analysis. Key questions concern how assistance is documented, how outputs are validated, and how communities renegotiate the line between exploratory use, operational support, interpretive contribution, and settled scholarly claim. Mehlenbacher, Balbon, and Mehlenbacher (2024) examine &quot;synthetic genres&quot; that push apart definitions of &quot;information&quot; and &quot;knowledge,&quot; suggesting that AI-generated text occupies a novel categorical space requiring new frameworks for evaluation. Bozkurt (2024) addresses authorship implications, proposing the aiTARAS Framework while maintaining that responsibility ultimately belongs to the human author. Maintaining epistemic standards while exploring new efficiencies requires treating AI as a tool supporting thought and analysis, not as a substitute for disciplinary judgment.

Domain-specific norms—interpretive rigour in the humanities, reproducibility in quantitative fields—must shape appropriate use. The question of when AI assistance becomes AI authorship remains contested, with implications for credit, accountability, and the integrity of scholarly claims. Documenting AI use transparently allows readers to assess the epistemic status of outputs and evaluate whether human judgment remains central to the knowledge claims of a given piece.

=== Scholarly Outputs ===

Forms of scholarly output are changing as generative tools support multimodal and interactive work: dynamic narratives, layered visualizations, and synthesis artifacts that draw together diverse sources. Bergstrom and Ruediger (2024) anticipate &quot;discovery, interpretation, and writing services&quot; becoming integrated suites while noting concerns about platform intermediation that could concentrate power over scholarly communication. Authorship, attribution, and preservation practices need to adapt: whose contributions are recognized, how AI assistance is disclosed, and how AI-mediated outputs are archived and made citable. Provenance and disclosure become part of the paratext, informing evaluations of reliability and situating works within ongoing conversations.

=== Teaching and Pedagogy ===

Teaching and pedagogy integrate AI as both subject and instrument. Tan and Maravilla (2024) position AI as a &quot;catalyst necessitating pedagogical transformation—shifting from transmission models toward environments where students actively construct knowledge.&quot; This reframing treats AI as an occasion for rethinking educational purposes and methods, emphasizing the human capacities—critical judgment, ethical reflection, creative synthesis—that AI systems cannot replicate.

Deng et al. (2025) meta-analyze 69 studies finding ChatGPT improves performance while reducing mental effort, raising questions about what learning means when cognitive work is offloaded to machines. Their findings suggest that traditional assessment measures require recalibration to capture the thinking processes that educational institutions value. The tension between efficiency and process manifests acutely here: if AI can produce essays, what is being assessed? Process-centred assessment emphasizes transparency, ethical reflection, and the development of critical literacies that enable students to assess model outputs, recognize limitations, and engage thoughtfully with AI-mediated knowledge.

Lee and Palmer (2025) establish prompt engineering as an emergent practice mirroring &quot;Socratic dialogue,&quot; suggesting continuities between AI interaction and established pedagogical traditions. Oates and Johnson (2025) demonstrate pedagogical value in making AI outputs &quot;subjects for evaluation rather than endpoints of learning&quot;—an approach that uses AI as material for critical analysis. Berry (2023) warns that uncritical AI reliance risks &quot;algorithmization&quot; of Digital Humanities, where computational methods become defaults that shape questions before they are asked.

=== Service and Peer Review ===

Service and peer review use AI for triage, formatting checks, and detection tasks—identifying duplication, verifying references, smoothing language—while preserving human judgment for evaluations of originality, significance, and methodological rigour. Sun (2025) maps LLM applications in peer review, emphasizing that models &quot;remain fundamentally limited in assessing research novelty.&quot; Hosseini and Horbach (2023) document potential to combat reviewer fatigue while identifying risks when &quot;operational assistance crosses into epistemic territory,&quot; suggesting that the boundary between support and substitution requires careful negotiation. Checco et al. (2021) demonstrate AI can predict outcomes based on &quot;superficial&quot; features while emphasizing &quot;semi-automated&quot; approaches that preserve human judgment for consequential decisions.

The line between operational assistance and epistemic authority runs directly through peer review, but it is better understood as a moving boundary than a fixed division. Tasks such as formatting checks, duplication detection, reference verification, and metadata checks may sit relatively comfortably on the operational side. Literature triage, reviewer matching, summary generation, and consistency checking occupy more contested middle ground. Assessments of novelty, significance, methodological rigour, interpretive adequacy, and contribution to a field require the kind of accountable judgment that remains distinctively human. Clarity about this boundary helps preserve the integrity of peer review while leveraging AI's capacity for routine tasks.

The inverse problem is integrity infrastructure. AI may assist legitimate review workflows, but it can also amplify older forms of scholarly fraud: paper mills, fabricated peer reviews, synthetic citations, citation cartels, manipulated images, and low-quality or fabricated manuscripts designed to pass superficial screening. These problems predate contemporary genAI, but generative systems increase their scale, speed, and plausible fluency. Responsible AI governance in publishing therefore requires attention not only to how reviewers may use AI, but also to how editorial systems detect, document, and respond to AI-amplified threats to the scholarly record. 

=== Research-Related Infrastructures ===

Research-related infrastructures span organizational governance, publishing and communication platforms, workflow systems, and accountability mechanisms. Governance frameworks, risk registers, roles, and capacity-building programs institutionalize stewardship, coordinating policy and practice across libraries, IT, research support, and ethics offices. Wu, Zhang, and Carroll (2024) document Big Ten universities' &quot;multi-unit governance involving information technology, teaching centres, libraries, and research offices&quot;—a distributed model recognizing AI as a cross-sectoral concern requiring coordinated response.

AI also places new pressure on open scholarly infrastructure. Repositories, commons platforms, digital research infrastructures, standards bodies, and open-science advising organizations must decide whether and how to integrate AI-mediated search, metadata generation, summarization, moderation, preservation, and analytics. These decisions affect governance, sustainability, procurement, interoperability, environmental cost, labour, and the degree to which open infrastructures remain accountable to scholarly and public communities rather than becoming dependent on proprietary AI services.

Open infrastructure responses should therefore be assessed against principles such as transparency, community governance, interoperability, portability, auditability, and long-term stewardship. In this context, standards for open infrastructure become AI governance instruments: they shape whether AI functions can be inspected, contested, replaced, or collectively maintained. 

Papagiannidis, Mikalef, and Conboy (2025) differentiate governance practices, revealing tensions &quot;between centralized oversight and distributed expertise.&quot; Institutions must navigate between the efficiency of centralized decision-making and the contextual knowledge held by distributed practitioners who understand how AI affects their specific domains.

Rughiniș et al. (2025) introduce &quot;dual black-boxing&quot; capturing compound accountability challenges when opaque AI systems meet opaque institutional processes. When neither the AI nor the institution is transparent about its decision-making, accountability becomes doubly difficult. Janssen (2025) reframes AI governance as managing &quot;complex adaptive systems characterized by co-evolution and emergent properties,&quot; suggesting that governance frameworks must themselves be adaptive. Weber et al. (2023)—whose findings on organizational capacity are discussed in the cross-cutting tensions above—appear here as a reminder that infrastructure governance is where those abstract tensions become concrete institutional failures.

Publishing and communication infrastructures increasingly integrate AI functions—journal recommendation, reviewer matching, manuscript screening, metadata generation—as part of scholarly workflow systems. Kousha and Thelwall (2024) map AI tool deployment across the publishing pipeline, distinguishing demonstrated capabilities from promotional claims. Their analysis reveals that substantial efficiency improvements are achievable in labour-intensive administrative tasks, while human judgment remains integral to core intellectual evaluations. This distinction—between what AI can assist with operationally and what requires human epistemic judgment—structures responsible integration of AI into publishing infrastructures. Ultimately, however, the success of these infrastructural choices is measured not just by operational efficiency, but by how effectively they mediate knowledge for the diverse publics who rely on them.

== Audiences and Differential Impacts ==

Audiences—scholars, students, practitioners, policymakers, and broader publics—encounter AI-mediated summaries, translations, and recommendations that shape how they access and interpret scholarship. Each audience brings different needs, literacies, and vulnerabilities to these encounters, and AI effects manifest differently across these diverse contexts.

Personalization raises the risk of filter bubbles, where recommendation systems surface content that confirms existing interests and perspectives while obscuring alternatives. Taneja and Tripathi (2020) identify structural tensions inherent in personalization algorithms that enhance user experience while simultaneously constructing echo chambers that systematically exclude novel, dissenting, or interdisciplinary perspectives. For scholarly communication, filter bubbles could reinforce disciplinary silos and impede the cross-fertilization that drives innovation. Audience-aware communication emphasizes context, uncertainty, and reciprocity, recognizing that different audiences need different framings and levels of technical detail.

The accessibility principles outlined earlier apply with particular force here: different audiences face different obstacles. AI can broaden participation and lower barriers—through translation, summarization, and alternative formats—but only when its design and governance prioritize inclusion, fidelity, and the preservation of diverse voices and perspectives. Da Silva Cardoso and Rocio (2025) propose frameworks for integrating AI into academic digital libraries that position librarians as essential partners in system development, emphasizing that understanding the nuanced and context-dependent needs of diverse academic communities requires human expertise that cannot be automated. The question is whether AI mediation grows or shrinks the publics that can engage with scholarship.

The sources reveal how AI effects vary by context in ways that demand attention to differential impacts:

'''Institutional type'''. AI adoption is shaped by uneven institutional capacities, but these differences do not map neatly onto size or prestige. Large research universities may have more formal infrastructure, while also facing larger user bases, more complex bureaucracies, and less responsive or less humane interventions. Smaller institutions, community colleges, public libraries, independent scholarly organizations, and grassroots knowledge projects may face different constraints, including limited staffing, funding, or access to specialized expertise. Equitable AI adoption therefore requires governance models that can adapt across institutional contexts without assuming uniform access to technical capacity, administrative infrastructure, or training resources.

'''Language communities'''. What serves English-language scholarship may disadvantage multilingual communities. Models trained predominantly on English reproduce Anglophone perspectives; multilingual support often lags behind. For scholars working in languages underrepresented in training corpora, AI tools may be less accurate, less helpful, or actively distorting. Linguistic diversity constitutes both an epistemic and an ethical concern: knowledge produced in non-dominant languages risks marginalization when AI systems favour majority languages.

'''Career stage'''. That which benefits established researchers may burden early-career scholars differently. Senior researchers with established reputations may more easily navigate AI-mediated environments, using AI assistance to amplify existing authority. Early-career scholars face additional pressures around attribution, originality, and demonstrating independent capability. When AI can generate fluent prose, summarize literatures, and accelerate administrative or writing tasks, how do junior scholars demonstrate the intellectual development that hiring, promotion, and grant committees have traditionally valued? Assessment criteria developed for human-only production may require adaptation to remain meaningful in AI-augmented contexts, but such adaptation must avoid intensifying surveillance or creating new burdens of disclosure that fall unevenly on those with the least institutional power. 

AI in the evaluation of researchers deserves separate attention from AI in the peer review of scholarly outputs. Hiring, promotion, tenure, grants, fellowships, and institutional metrics shape careers, disciplines, and access to scholarly futures. If AI-mediated tools are used to screen CVs, rank candidates, summarize dossiers, evaluate productivity, or assess “fit,” their consequences may be especially significant for early-career scholars, contingent faculty, disabled scholars, scholars working in less dominant languages, interdisciplinary researchers, and those whose contributions are not well captured by standard metrics. Governance in this area should require transparency, contestability, human accountability, and careful attention to disparate impact. 

'''Disciplinary context'''. Different disciplines bring different norms, methods, and evaluation criteria to AI engagement. What constitutes appropriate AI assistance in a literature review differs from appropriate assistance in data analysis or creative work. Disciplinary communities are developing varied approaches, and cross-disciplinary dialogue helps surface assumptions and identify best practices that might transfer across contexts.

'''Geographic location'''. Scholars in different regions face different infrastructural realities, regulatory frameworks, and access conditions. AI tools developed primarily for well-resourced contexts may not serve scholars working with limited bandwidth, different privacy regimes, or constrained institutional support. Geographic diversity in AI impacts connects to broader patterns of global inequality in knowledge production and circulation.

Attention to these differential impacts marks responsible AI adoption, requiring ongoing assessment of who benefits, who bears burdens, and how distributions might be made more equitable. Rather than assuming uniform effects, responsible governance monitors for disparate impacts and adjusts policies and tools in response to evidence of inequitable outcomes.

== Phenomena, Relations, and Ongoing Inquiry ==

The sources in this annotated bibliography have been selected to trace several intersecting concerns. Conceptually, works that articulate critical frameworks (STS, data colonialism) offer key tools for understanding AI as a sociotechnical formation (Anderson 2024; Ali et al. 2023; Bender et al. 2021). Normatively, scholarship on public engagement, participatory infrastructures, reciprocity, and accessibility ground the discussion in the normative coordinates of open social scholarship (Arbuckle et al. 2022; El Khatib et al. 2019). Infrastructurally, sources on data governance (FAIR and CARE), licensing, repositories, and platforms illuminate how AI is being integrated into the material and organizational substrates of knowledge work (Carroll et al. 2020; White et al. 2024). Methodologically, contributions from anthropology, STS, media studies, information science, and environmental humanities help maintain epistemic plurality and attend to global and intersectional dimensions (Chung 2025; Richter, Katzenbach, and Schäfer 2025). Finally, empirically, studies of peer review, literature searching, pedagogical applications, and governance supply concrete evidence of AI's effects in practice (Sun 2025; Deng et al. 2025; Wu, Zhang, and Carroll 2024).

== Conceptual Mapping ==

The conceptual mapping that orients this bibliography treats concepts, phenomena, and relations as interconnected. This mapping is meant to help readers locate where a given source sits: what it names, what it observes, and what it connects:

'''Concepts''' such as openness, provenance, bias, governance, data sovereignty, participation, reproducibility, labour, sustainability, platformization, multilingualism, accessibility, evaluation, enclosure, commons, personalization, and exposure diversity mark key terms of analysis.

'''Phenomena''' such as pretraining on public corpora, proliferation of synthetic content, recommendation feedback loops, metadata drift, hallucination, hybrid openness models, human-in-the-loop verification, green AI practices, community moderation, content credentials, and retrieval-augmented generation describe observable patterns in the field.

'''Relations''' trace interactions among these elements: openness and enclosure meet through licensing and reciprocity mechanisms; provenance and trust are linked through audit trails and disclosure practices; bias and diversity intersect in dataset governance and evaluation design; governance and participation connect through co-design and community oversight; platformization shapes visibility through algorithmic curation and efforts to foster exposure diversity; labour and sustainability meet in discussions of ethical procurement and environmental accounting; reproducibility pushes against black-boxing through documentation and open benchmarking; multilingualism and accessibility intertwine in translation and community review; evaluation anchors legitimacy by attending to social impact and equity metrics.

== Focused Areas for Further Intervention ==

Several areas emerge from this scan as candidates for shorter, more pragmatic follow-up work. AI-mediated scholarly discovery is already reshaping canon formation, citation patterns and visibility through search engines, recommender systems, citation-context services, discovery platforms, and automated synthesis tools. Provenance infrastructure, including content credentials, persistent identifiers, verifiable metadata, and workflow documentation, could strengthen disclosure by making AI involvement more portable, auditable, and machine-readable. Smaller, community-built, purpose-specific models offer a constructive path for aligning AI with OSS values where communities can define scope, data governance, evaluation criteria, and benefit-sharing arrangements. 

Integrity infrastructure also requires urgent attention, since paper mills, fabricated reviews, synthetic citations, and AI-amplified fraud threaten the trust systems upon which scholarship depends. AI in the evaluation of researchers—hiring, promotion, grants, fellowships, and institutional metrics—deserves treatment distinct from peer review of outputs because its consequence for early-career scholars, equity, and disciplinary futures may be especially profound. Parallel interventions on AI and open licensing, and on AI’s effects on open scholarly infrastructure, would clarify how licensors, libraries, funders, digital research infrastructures, advising bodies, and standards communities are adapting to machine use of open knowledge.

=== Conditions for Flourishing ===

The question animating this bibliography remains phenomenological: what conditions enable scholarship to flourish? The sources suggest these conditions include:

* '''Diverse participation''' that brings varied perspectives to bear on complex problems
* '''Critical literacy''' that equips scholars and publics to evaluate AI-mediated claims
* '''Transparent processes''' that make choices visible and contestable
* '''Human accountability''' that maintains responsibility for consequential decisions
* '''Infrastructural stewardship''' that ensures technical systems serve public purposes

OSS principles provide the normative coordinates for navigating the cross-cutting tensions this scan has identified,offering a framework to ensure that operational assistance does not usurp epistemic authority, that openness resists extractive enclosure, that technical deployments match organizational capacity, and that efficiency does not erase the deliberative processes of scholarship. Specifically, openness with care balances access with consent and community control. Participation with shared authority embeds publics and communities in design and evaluation. Accessibility spans language, disability, and technical literacy. Reciprocity ensures that where community-sourced data or labour underwrite AI functions, benefits flow back to contributors. Infrastructural responsibility commits institutions to steward provenance, auditability, and accountability across deployment lifecycles.

This mapping does not aim to close debate or fix categories. It sketches a topology of the current field: which nodes are active, where tensions gather, and how shifts in one domain reverberate through others. The annotated bibliography is offered as a baseline &quot;lay of the land&quot; against which ongoing research can be situated, helping scholars and practitioners locate their work within a broader conceptual ecology and identify gaps, alignments, and opportunities for intervention shaped by OSS principles of accessibility, reciprocity, and public value.

These conditions also point toward a positive agenda. AI-mediated scholarship could support forms of access and engagement that have long mattered to OSS: translation across languages and registers, navigation of complex archives, discovery across disciplinary boundaries, support of disabled readers and writers, richer metadata, and new forms of dialogue between specialists and broader publics. Whether such uses weaken or strengthen scholarship depends less on the abstract presence of AI than on the infrastructures, governance processes, and values through which AI is developed and adopted.

The landscape will continue to shift. New capabilities will emerge, governance frameworks will evolve, communities will develop practices and norms through experimentation and deliberation. What this bibliography offers is a documented moment from which change can be measured and assessed. The sources assembled here provide conceptual resources for that ongoing work: frameworks for analysis, evidence of effects, models for governance, and principles for evaluation. The task ahead is to use these resources thoughtfully, maintaining the commitments to accessibility, reciprocity, and public engagement that make scholarship worth pursuing.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-indent: -20px; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: -10px&quot;&gt;
'''Ali, Syed Mustafa, Stephanie Dick, Sarah Dillon, Matthew L. Jones, Jonnie Penn, and Richard Staley. 2023. “Histories of Artificial Intelligence: A Genealogy of Power.” ''BJHS Themes'' 8: 1–18. https://doi.org/10.1017/bjt.2023.15.'''
&lt;/div&gt;

The work of these authors seeks to move beyond “conventional origin myths” of AI by contextualizing the academic historical approach within their interdisciplinary backgrounds. As a result, Ali et al. argue that histories of broader processes (like industrialization, colonialism, and social science) can represent the “genealogy” of AI, which is not identified as a specific object but as a grouping of diverse technologies under a loose banner, requiring an equally diverse approach. Although AI is the “flagship of the Information Age,” it was clearly conditioned by the “Management Age,” as these “genealogies” feature four common thematic threads of “hidden labour,” “encoded behaviour,” “disingenuous rhetoric,” and “cognitive injustice.” AI is therefore not only situated within the history of computing, but the history of control, the product of the interacting formalist and empiricist views of “intelligence” within Cold War epistemology. In many ways, AI’s refinement of formal abstraction reinforces and impresses Western systems and structures, so these authors do not critique AI with the goal of improvement, but to clarify what AI “is,” “is not,” and perhaps “should not” be.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-indent: -20px; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: -10px&quot;&gt;
'''Anderson, Marc M. 2024. “AI as Philosophical Ideology: A Critical Look Back at John McCarthy’s Program.” ''Philosophy &amp; Technology'' 37 (2): 44. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13347-024-00731-1.'''
&lt;/div&gt;

This paper critically analyzes the synthesis of McCarthy’s AI development program, identifying its goals’ nature, purpose, relationship to society, and implications upon morality and social control. Firstly, Anderson considers the most problematic themes of McCarthy’s early and middle writings, then arguing that McCarthy’s later works consolidated his stance by replacing “tentative assumptions” with “statements whose linkages with contemporaneous analytic philosophy are made unequivocally” and thereby present AI as “the outcome of a certain philosophical way of looking at the world.” Here, Anderson emphasizes McCarthy’s biases toward objectivism, scientism, and analytic behaviourism; tendency to enable progress in AI by waiting to identify risks; positioning of philosophy as subordinate “handmaiden” to science; and uneasy presupposition that humans have innate knowledge of the world’s object character (which AI will need added). To Anderson, the sum of the “ethical” aspects, “philosophical” aspects, and “competitive” nature of McCarthy’s program give it all the fundamental “characteristics of an ideological program.” This ideology has had deep direct influence, for example by joining AI ethics to consequentialist dilemmas like the “Trolley problem,” and deep indirect influence, for example by influencing a modular and component technical approach. Anderson argues this “ideology” was caused by McCarthy’s motive of making a “servile” and “stripped down model of human mental engagement without emotional qualities.” Overall, Anderson argues McCarthy’s conception of AI as a “perfectly rational abstraction of human thinking” involves severe misconceptions around rationality, and has “come to serve as a blind for increasing techno-corporate control of society” with its propagation of the belief that “AI systems should be controlled as servants.”

&lt;div style=&quot;text-indent: -20px; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: -10px&quot;&gt;
'''Bender, Emily M., Timnit Gebru, Angelina McMillan-Major, and Shmargaret Shmitchell. 2021. “On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big? 🦜.” In ''Proceedings of the 2021 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency'', 610–23. https://doi.org/10.1145/3442188.3445922.'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Bender et al. critically analyze the environmental and social risks of ever larger language models trained with huge uncurated datasets from the web. Their first concern is the environmental costs of training language models, which require increasing energy and compute requirements that further environmental damages that are more likely to fall on marginalized populations. Their social concerns are that language models have the potential to reproduce hegemonic views, reinforce stereotypes, and further reify inequality due to the unrepresentativeness of their training data. Despite the increasing amounts of data ingested in these models, the authors argue that size does not guarantee diversity because there are people who are not on the web (and therefore not included in training data), the content of marginalized people online is less likely to be included in these large datasets and, if it is, it might be filtered out during the data preparation process. Therefore, the authors urge developers to stop using larger training datasets if they cannot be documented. As an alternative, they suggest curating and documenting smaller datasets created for specific purposes, evaluating models by the amount of resources they consume, and developing research that centres the people who are more likely to be adversely affected by the resulting technology.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-indent: -20px; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: -10px&quot;&gt;
'''Berry, David M. 2025. “Synthetic Media and Computational Capitalism: Towards a Critical Theory of Artificial Intelligence.” ''AI &amp; Society'' 40: 5257–5269. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-025-02265-2.'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Berry develops a critical theory of artificial intelligence centred on what he terms the &quot;algorithmic condition&quot;—a historical moment when computational systems generate cultural content indistinguishable from human production, thereby destabilizing traditional markers of authenticity and authorship. Engaging with Frankfurt School critical theory, particularly concepts of false consciousness and reification, Berry argues that contemporary AI represents a qualitative transformation he calls &quot;the Inversion,&quot; where machine-generated works not only replicate but actively reshape the grounds upon which experience and meaning are constituted. This moves beyond mechanical reproduction (Benjamin) or cybernetic feedback (Wiener) toward what Berry theorizes as &quot;post-consciousness,&quot; where boundaries between individual and synthetic consciousness become porous. His concept of &quot;diffusionisation&quot; describes how AI systems dissolve cultural forms into probabilistic vector spaces and reconstitute them through latent space manipulation, producing &quot;AI slop&quot;—low-quality synthetic content that infiltrates information ecosystems with garbled meaning. Berry positions this transformation within &quot;computational capitalism,&quot; arguing that algorithmic mediation now structures forms of life in ways that demand new critical methods. His &quot;constellational analysis&quot; proposes mapping the interdependencies among technical systems, cultural production, and political-economic structures to resist subsumption into algorithmic logics. Where earlier automation debates focused on task substitution, Berry foregrounds how synthetic media transforms the infrastructure of meaning-making itself, rendering questions of interpretability and embedded bias not as technical problems but as symptoms of deeper epistemic and political reconfigurations under computational conditions.

'''Chun, Jon, and Katherine Elkins. (2023). “The Crisis of Artificial Intelligence: A New Digital Humanities Curriculum for Human-Centred AI.” ''International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing'' 17 (2). https://doi.org/10.3366/ijhac.2023.0310&lt;nowiki/&gt;.'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Chun and Elkins position AI's rapid advancement as precipitating multiple interlocking crises—in higher education, in diversity and inclusion within technology fields, and in the broader socioeconomic fabric—that demand a specifically humanities-oriented pedagogical response. Their intervention challenges the prevalent assumption that AI literacy should emerge from STEM-dominated curricula, arguing instead that Digital Humanities offers distinctive pathways for cultivating critical engagement with computational systems. Where conventional computer science education treats AI as primarily a technical phenomenon requiring engineering skills, Chun and Elkins foreground reflective and collaborative meaning-making, insisting that the most effective AI tools amplify rather than replace human intellectual engagement. Their framework explicitly connects pedagogical design to civic preparation, positioning students not as mere consumers or operators of AI systems but as critically engaged citizens capable of interrogating the social and economic implications of algorithmic mediation. Drawing on theories of human-centred computing, they articulate an AI DH curriculum structured around two core commitments: opening meaningful research avenues for humanities scholars working with computational methods and addressing DEI shortcomings by engaging students traditionally alienated by conventional STEM pathways. Their approach implicitly challenges the epistemic authority claims embedded in AI discourse—the fantasy that technical expertise alone can adjudicate questions about algorithmic deployment—by insisting that humanistic inquiry offers essential resources for navigating AI's transformative effects on knowledge production, labour organization, and cultural representation.

&lt;/div&gt;

Chung redirects scholarly attention from dominant AI powers—China, the United States—to economically advanced but geographically non-dominant Asian societies: Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Mobilizing the concept of &quot;techno-developmentalism&quot; to analyze how developmental states harness technological innovation for political-economic projects, Chung identifies three distinct imaginaries that emerge from specific historical, institutional, and geopolitical conditions. Singapore's &quot;cybernetic pragmatism&quot; deploys AI to legitimize neoliberal authoritarianism, embedding computational governance as a continuation of technocratic rule. Hong Kong's &quot;techno-entrepreneurship&quot; imaginary seeks to refashion financial capitalism through AI-driven innovation, positioning the territory as a global fintech hub amid shifting relationships with mainland China. Taiwan's &quot;defensive survival modality&quot; frames AI development as simultaneously addressing internal socioeconomic instability and external threats from superpower rivalry, particularly cross-strait tensions. Chung's analysis challenges the Global North/South binary that structures much AI governance literature, revealing how small advanced economies navigate strategic coupling with global tech industries while managing profound uncertainties about AI-centric reforms. His discourse analysis of policy documents from the early 2010s through 2024 demonstrates how national imaginaries encode assumptions about automation's effects on labour markets, the appropriate balance between state coordination and market mechanisms, and the role of computational infrastructure in securing geopolitical position. This comparative framework illuminates how different state formations mobilize AI to address divergent crises of legitimacy, capital accumulation, and sovereign security.

'''Van Es, Karin, and Dennis Nguyen. 2024. “‘Your Friendly AI Assistant’: The Anthropomorphic Self-Representations of ChatGPT and Its Implications for Imagining AI.” ''AI &amp; Society'' 40: 3591–3603. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-024-02108-6&lt;nowiki/&gt;.'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Van Es and Nguyen analyze how “social-technical imaginaries” invoked by “self-representations” of GenAI could influence public perception of the technology. These “socio-technical imaginaries” are a category of trending concept, which can exist in contrast, as both utopian and dystopian conceptions of AI are present in public discourse. These are dynamically changeable, often strategically promoted by tech companies to influence regulation, and influenced by a variety of media technologies and ecologies with equally diverse social, cultural, and political implications. The authors identify a range of current “socio-technical imaginaries” of AI. This includes: misconceived “magical thinking,” largely produced by poor terminology; speculative, exaggerative debates on AI capabilities, which distract from actualized and present risks; visual motifs correlating intelligence, efficiency, logic, duty, and trust, which are not inherent to Generative AI; and anthropomorphism, which brings a slew of problems surrounding social biases. To study AI “self-representations,” van Es and Nguyen have ChatGPT generate fifty images and fifty-eight sections of text, responding to several variations of the prompt “create an image of yourself.” The authors then perform an empirical, qualitative-exploratory analysis of this content to examine which “socio-technical imaginaries” dominate the material. These images most significantly emphasized ChatGPT’s alleged “social intelligence,” depicted as a friendly research assistant possessing “real” intellect—ironically often surrounded by books. Anthropomorphism was usually present, with eighty-two percent of images portraying AI as humanoid, and a further six percent as a human brain. Futuristic motifs like holograms, metallic shades, and the cosmos portrayed AI as near-magical. Textual responses expressed these same themes, demonstrating consistent messaging. Taken together, these generated responses encourage overlooking the ethical and legal challenges posed by trending GenAI technologies, “overestimate their capabilities”, and “potentially lead to mistakenly perceive them as trustworthy companions.” This raises questions as to what extent specific guidelines to these responses were programmed by OpenAI, or indicative of popular opinion.

'''Jones, Matthew L. 2023. “AI in History.” ''American Historical Review'' 128 (3): 1360–67. https://doi.org/10.1093/ahr/rhad361.'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Jones explores how evolving approaches to AI research reflect upon the importance of studying artificial intelligence’s history. He believes traditional attempts to produce “symbolic” AI have been proven as misguided, comparing their failures to the traditionally unpopular “empiricist” approach. This approach is now dominant and involves the use of large-scale algorithms to capitalize upon the “unreasonable effectiveness of data” via “machine learning.” However, this shift in trends has also forced the meaning and capabilities of “artificial intelligence” to be reconsidered, now threatening “professions centred on particularity” like history. In response, Jones argues modern AI cannot be considered a “neutral substratum” but as a reflection of human creations—including their best and worst traits. Historians are experts at detecting bias, and this understanding of AI’s historical context is clearly necessary for its appropriate application, so historians should be playing a fundamental role in ensuring AI’s critical use. Jones believes historians can best do this by highlighting the “traces of labour” that can illustrate the “granular complex reality” of AI.

&lt;/div&gt;

Klein et al. explore the stakes of engaging with AI by juxtaposing the humanistic scholar’s investigation of the &quot;human&quot; with the &quot;anti-human&quot; approach of AI, a dichotomy they contextualize within late-stage capitalism. Klein et al. argue that AI’s generalist, binary approach &quot;distorts 'culture’ to content.&quot; AI programs thereby conduct a &quot;statistical enactment of… ideology,&quot; imposing an objectivist European modernist framework of understanding upon the data. This binary conception of data is highlighted within ideas of &quot;pure&quot; versus &quot;toxic&quot; training data, which dismiss that the material inherently &quot;reflects cultures and consists of expressions of those cultures.&quot; Even content not being included &quot;biases&quot; the rest of the data, so the best practices of open scholarship cannot fix the root issue—the only way to resolve the issues caused by &quot;bias&quot; is to target the sources of the underlying structural problems. Klein et al. argue this flawed situation was fuelled by &quot;corporate spokespeople parroting AI hype&quot; to research—and that this relationship’s politicization should be a particular source of concern. Klein et al. argue AI can still serve a purpose, however. They propose AI with smaller datasets will produce more accurate information when tailored for specific topics and with input from experts of the humanities. Humanists cannot solely effect change, however, as &quot;technical researchers must recognize the institutional asymmetries&quot; of administrative support and funding available to ensure development of &quot;humanistic&quot; AI is a truly equal and interdisciplinary effort.

McIntosh et al. offer a survey of AI development’s frontiers targeted at fellow experts of the field, focussing on evolving “agentic” AI and its resulting research applications. Covering developments, they primarily employ case studies to demonstrate how multimodal AI could eclipse undynamic LLMs, but various “advanced learning techniques” and developments in model architecture are also outlined. On this topic, a table is presented to quantify the relevance of research fields and subfields of AI development. Agentic AI’s possible applications include aiding research by bolstering academic integrity, its market relevance, and its “creative” purposes. McIntosh et al. even argue that development of AGI with “symbolic reasoning” and “probabilistic inference” could handle issues like climate change, considered as a long-term but significant possibility. Therefore, this work is primarily theoretical, with McIntosh et al. centralizing AI’s idealistic applications. However, they do acknowledge AI must be developed with ethical and social principles, for which interdisciplinary cooperation is necessary.

&lt;/div&gt;

Mao, Richter, and Katzenbach systematize the concept of &quot;sociotechnical imaginaries&quot; as an analytical framework for understanding how collective visions of AI futures shape governance, investment, and public discourse. Engaging explicitly with science and technology studies scholarship—particularly Jasanoff and Kim's formulation of imaginaries as &quot;collectively held, institutionally stabilized, and publicly performed visions&quot;—they demonstrate how AI's meaning emerges through contested negotiations among stakeholders from industry, government, academia, media, and civil society. Their comparative analysis across the United States, China, and Germany challenges simplistic national characterizations, revealing heterogeneous and often contradictory imaginaries even within single regulatory regimes. Where US discourse fragments across multiple geographic AI hubs, German imaginaries centre on EU policy compliance and regulatory frameworks, while Chinese articulations align tightly with party-state directives that minimize local variation. The source argues that these imaginaries function performatively, not merely representing AI's future but actively mobilizing resources, legitimating interventions, and establishing trajectories for development. Their framework illuminates how benchmark cultures, optimization narratives, and investor expectations become embedded in technical choices through discursive processes that precede and exceed engineering decisions. By foregrounding stakeholder co-dependencies and cross-national dynamics, the authors position AI imaginaries as sites where epistemological assumptions about intelligence, automation, and progress become institutionalized through political-economic mechanisms—a contribution that connects discourse analysis to questions of power, accountability, and the material reorganization of labour and knowledge production.

&lt;/div&gt;

Whiteley criticizes the use of the term artificial intelligence, noting that while such technologies can be valuable for automating specific tasks, the term John McCarthy used in the 1950s was a “disservice.” He argues that the term anthropomorphizes what is essentially a form of computer-assisted statistical analysis. Much of what we call AI functions as a sophisticated prediction system that processes vast amounts of data to produce answers, without any real understanding of the underlying concepts or theories. Whiteley further distinguishes between algorithms, which follow set procedures to identify patterns and make predictions, and inference, which involves interpreting and explaining why those patterns occur. He concludes that the ultimate goal in the field of AI is to create systems capable of predicting behaviour across diverse problems. However, he emphasizes that current AI algorithms remain highly specialized, excelling in narrow tasks but lacking the flexibility and understanding required for true general intelligence.

&lt;/div&gt;

Zeffiro interrogates cybersecurity's AI imaginaries through case studies of IBM Watson for Cybersecurity, CrowdStrike's Charlotte AI, and Google's Sec-PaLM, revealing how corporate narratives of AI as &quot;game changer&quot; and &quot;democratizing force&quot; systematically obscure differential vulnerabilities and normative biases. Her analysis challenges the prevalent framing of AI-driven threat detection as technically neutral automation, arguing instead that these systems encode and amplify assumptions about what constitutes risk, who merits protection, and whose insecurities remain invisible. Drawing on critical security studies and science and technology studies, Zeffiro demonstrates how generative AI applications in cybersecurity automate not merely data collection and pattern recognition but also the normative judgments about threat hierarchies embedded in training regimes and performance metrics. Her concept of &quot;automating insecurities&quot; captures this dual process: while AI tools promise enhanced security through real-time threat response with minimal human intervention, they simultaneously institutionalize particular understandings of vulnerability that reflect corporate priorities and market positioning in the &quot;AI arms race.&quot; Zeffiro's analysis connects these imaginaries to epistemic claims about AI's inevitability, showing how IBM, CrowdStrike, and Google construct future visions that naturalize their technological approaches while marginalizing alternative security paradigms. By foregrounding what these imaginaries omit—the differential distribution of cyber vulnerabilities across social positions, the political economy of security infrastructure, the discretionary authority embedded in algorithmic triage—Zeffiro positions cybersecurity AI as participating in broader patterns of automation that redistribute power and accountability rather than merely enhancing technical capabilities.

&lt;/div&gt;

The report dismantles the binary framing—open vs. closed—that has organized foundation model governance debates, replacing it with a multidimensional spectrum where weight release is only one variable among many (architecture, training data, documentation, licensing terms, structured access). Seven consensus points establish that &quot;openness&quot; serves multiple, sometimes conflicting values (transparency, competition, safety, inclusion) and that weight release amplifies both beneficial and harmful potential without symmetry—its irreversibility and resistance to post-release monitoring create a qualitatively different governance problem than closed deployment, even though closed models' theoretical safety advantages are unevenly realized in practice. The report introduces &quot;precautionary friction&quot; (staged/structured release calibrated to marginal risk over a defined baseline) as the operative governance concept, explicitly rejecting both blanket openness and blanket restriction. Seventeen open questions then expose the infrastructure gaps: evaluation science remains embryonic, post-release monitoring is under-theorized, risk thresholds published by labs lack enforcement specificity, and Global South labour and data contributions are structurally undervalued. This source clarifies the claim that software-style &quot;open source&quot; maps poorly onto foundation models and that hybrid, graduated-release frameworks are where policy consensus is actually forming.

&lt;/div&gt;

Bhaskar et al. diagnose “information access” under generative AI as a sociotechnical settlement rather than a neutral upgrade to search: models do not just retrieve, they intermediate credibility, reshape attention, and re-allocate epistemic authority through interfaces that compress provenance and uncertainty. Their framing is especially useful for open, social scholarship because it links familiar problems of access (indexing, ranking, evaluation) to newer constraints created by platform dependence, opaque model behaviour, and the enclosure of research pathways behind proprietary tooling and data. Read through the lenses of industry capture and AI imaginaries, the chapter clarifies how promises of universal assistants can normalize monopoly infrastructures while shifting audit burdens onto users and public institutions. It also implicitly strengthens open communities’ insistence on reproducibility: without open benchmarks, inspectable logs, and preservable corpora, “trustworthy information” becomes a brand claim rather than an evaluable property. The ideas bridge directly to libraries, repositories, and information policy by treating curation, metadata, and stewardship as counter-monopoly infrastructure for accountable AI-mediated access.

'''Open Source Initiative. The Open Source AI Definition 1.0 (2024–2025). https://opensource.org/ai'''
&lt;/div&gt;

OSI’s Open Source AI Definition 1.0 operationalizes “open” as a bundle of enforceable freedoms rather than a branding claim, and it does so by porting the open source software tradition into the AI stack where “source” is more than just code. The definition makes the four freedoms—use, study, modify, share—the evaluative core, then adds a crucial precondition: exercising any of these rights requires access to the preferred form for making modifications and the means to use the system. That move is the governance lever: it blocks “open weights” releases from standing in for openness when the artifacts needed to understand or change system behaviour are withheld. On OSI’s framing, openness is not satisfied by permissive inference access or a model file alone; it is satisfied when the system is provisioned so that auditability and alteration are practically possible, including transparency sufficient to trace how results were created and where components (notably data sources) come from. The definition is therefore designed as an anti-openwashing instrument: it supplies a community standard that can be applied to legal/technical packaging to distinguish genuinely open AI systems from hybrid offerings that preserve vendor control through restrictions or missing components. OSI explicitly positions this as policy-relevant infrastructure—an interpretive anchor for regulators and OSS communities trying to resist enclosure pressures while preserving permissionless collaboration. This is a community standard, not a journal article; it is nonetheless important for governance, policy, and OSS alignment.

&lt;/div&gt;

Vake et al. analyze the data of open-source large language models shared on HuggingFace to explore if the open-source community influences the development of LLMs. The authors found that the AI open-source community is expanding rapidly, and it has enhanced the performance of a handful of popular models. However, open-source AI depends on businesses to develop base models and release them openly, but there are few incentives to do so because it risks their intellectual property and competitive edge. Furthermore, AI is different from the development of open-source software because the general public cannot privately run these models. Therefore, the authors conclude that the future of AI development could be similar to the software-as-a-service model, in which the open-source community contributes to model development, while companies generate revenue from model usage.

&lt;/div&gt;

White et al.'s Model Openness Framework (MOF) represents an effort to translate open-source software principles into AI research practices, addressing the growing gap between claims of &quot;openness&quot; and actual transparency in AI model development. Developed through the Linux Foundation's AI &amp; Data Foundation, the framework establishes a three-tiered classification system that specifies which components (code, data, documentation, trained weights, evaluation procedures) must be released under open licenses for models to qualify as &quot;Class III: Open Model,&quot; &quot;Class II: Open Tooling,&quot; or &quot;Class I: Open Science.&quot; The authors' intervention addresses what they term &quot;openwashing&quot;—the strategic use of &quot;open source&quot; rhetoric by companies releasing models with restrictive licenses or incomplete artifacts. By codifying 17 critical components for complete model releases, they make visible the specific practices required for reproducibility and scrutiny, challenging the binary conception of openness inherited from software. Their framework reveals that AI &quot;openness&quot; exists on a spectrum of completeness, from minimal weight release to full disclosure of training data, intermediate checkpoints, and development documentation. Positioned within debates about responsible AI development, the MOF represents a community-driven effort to establish norms before they become ossified by corporate practice or regulatory fiat. The authors draw explicitly on open science principles (FAIR data, reproducibility standards) while adapting them to AI's unique characteristics—particularly the centrality of training data and the distinction between model architecture (code) and trained parameters (data).

== Bias and Technological Determinism ==

&lt;div style=&quot;text-indent: -20px; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: -10px&quot;&gt;
'''Akter, Shahriar, Grace McCarthy, Shahriar Sajib, Katina Michael, Yogesh K. Dwivedi, John D’Ambra, and K. N. Shen. 2021. “Algorithmic Bias in Data-Driven Innovation in the Age of AI.” ''International Journal of Information Management'' 60: 102387. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijinfomgt.2021.102387.'''
&lt;/div&gt;

Akter and colleagues theorize algorithmic bias as emerging from three distinct but interacting sources—data bias, method bias, and societal bias— positioning bias as structural phenomenon inscribed across the entire data-driven innovation (DDI) lifecycle rather than localized technical artifact amenable to isolated correction. Their case study of Australia's Robo-Debt scheme demonstrates how algorithmic systems inherit and amplify existing inequities and foregrounds &quot;dynamic managerial capability&quot; as essential for addressing bias. The authors challenge purely technical approaches, arguing instead that organizational capacity to recognize, interrogate, and respond to bias across data provenance, algorithmic design, and deployment contexts determines whether DDI produces equitable or discriminatory outcomes. This positions bias mitigation as ongoing institutional work requiring cross-functional expertise rather than one-time technical intervention. Their framework implicitly contests technological determinism by revealing how managerial choices about data collection priorities, acceptable error rates, and stakeholder consultation shape algorithmic outcomes in ways that exceed engineering decisions. The emphasis on societal bias as distinct category acknowledges that algorithms operate within and reproduce broader patterns of structural inequality—assumptions about creditworthiness, employability, or welfare eligibility that reflect historical discrimination. Akter et al.'s intervention thus connects bias scholarship to organizational studies and innovation management, positioning algorithmic fairness not as mathematical property but as emergent from institutional practices, power relations, and the political-economic contexts within which DDI unfolds.

&lt;/div&gt;

Analyzes algorithmic management as a sociotechnical phenomenon reshaping power, discretion, and information flows in organizations; details opacity at technical and organizational levels.

&lt;/div&gt;

Sartori and Theodorou position AI as a &quot;magnifying glass&quot; that automates and amplifies existing social inequalities rather than introducing bias as a novel technical problem, directly challenging narratives that frame fairness as achievable through post hoc algorithmic adjustment. Their sociotechnical framing insists that intelligent machines operate within specific institutional contexts where historical patterns of discrimination become encoded in data collection, annotation practices, and deployment decisions—a structural account that resists reduction to technical fixes. The authors engage critically with the AI technical community's emphasis on transparency, explainability, accountability, and contestability, acknowledging these as necessary but insufficient responses that risk becoming &quot;panaceas&quot; if divorced from attention to power asymmetries and organizing visions. Their analysis of technological narratives reveals how AI discourse reflects and reproduces traditional lines of social, economic, and political inequality: who gets to articulate AI futures, whose concerns register as legitimate risks, and which imaginaries gain institutional traction. By foregrounding narratives as both reflecting organizing visions and constituting &quot;tangible signs&quot; of inequality, Sartori and Theodorou demonstrate how deterministic framing—treating AI development as inevitable—forecloses deliberation about alternative design pathways. Their call for &quot;diverse approaches&quot; and &quot;richer knowledge about narratives&quot; positions non-determinism as methodological commitment: attending to contingent choices, plural stakeholder perspectives, and varied criteria of success that resist singular optimization logics. This intervention connects bias scholarship to governance debates, arguing that human control requires not just technical interpretability but institutional mechanisms for contestation that acknowledge AI practice as fundamentally interdisciplinary and politically consequential.

Argues that simply “access” is insufficient; emphasizes usability, participatory review, and community‑responsive publishing workflows. Repositions openness as an ecosystem of practices with embedded care and accountability. Yields criteria for evaluating whether “openness” translates to meaningful, non‑extractive participation and shared authority in knowledge production.

'''Kember, Sarah, and Amy Brand. 2023. “The Corporate Capture of Open-Access Publishing.” ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'', August 16. https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-corporate-capture-of-open-access-publishing. '''
&lt;/div&gt;

Kember and Brand highlight that open access policies adopted to increase availability of publicly funded research “may unintentionally contribute to greater consolidation in academic publishing” by encouraging commercial publishers to “value quantity over quality and platforms over people.” Kember and Brand use the history of “corporate capture” as a guide, referencing the development of self-archiving practices into a “neoliberal framework” of “openness at any cost.” Open-access reforms which targeted academic publishing as a “monolithic… bad actor” enabled this by hurting small actors more than major commercial entities, which exploited their vulnerability. Since then, the largest publishers have initiated hybrid subscription models to charge more overall, or “Read-and-Publish” deals that are increasingly expensive, decimate shrinking library budgets, and reinforce inequities in authorship. Kember and Brand argue this process was driven by ignorance, error, and the ideology of “immediate interest,” where short term gains are prioritized. The neoliberal idea that “information wants to be free” is similarly “subjugating all values to those of the market,” as open-access policy “inherits a utopia and risks delivering a dystopia” by making vast amounts of linked data readily accessible to third parties. The answer lies in a network of non-profit, fair-profit, and international organizations, which could turn the “false promise of openness into truly public knowledge.”

&lt;/div&gt;

Luth examines how Digital Commons stakeholders such as Wikimedia influence the development of AI models trained on Creative Commons (CC) licensed content. He argues that while these resources are essential for AI training, AI developers’ compliance with license conditions is often uncertain, and some AI developers may bypass legal requirements. Luth highlights two strategies: using CC licenses to protect shared knowledge and collaborating to sustain the ecosystem of open access. By combining these approaches, stakeholders can support high-quality AI outputs while preserving the integrity of the Digital Commons. The article emphasizes that AI’s reliance on shared resources carries ethical and practical responsibilities and shows how open licensing can enhance the reliability and social value of AI.

&lt;/div&gt;

Pooley begins with the Microsoft–OpenAI vs. New York Times clash to show how both journalism and scholarly publishing are positioning themselves to charge AI firms for using their content. He notes, however, that journalism and academic publishing differ fundamentally: news organizations pay their writers, while scholarly publishers rely on research produced for free by academics or funded by taxpayers. Pooley criticizes commercial publishers for framing AI companies as “free-riders” even though those publishers themselves profit from vast unpaid scholarly labour. To clarify, the author uses the notion of  &quot;surveillance capitalism” (using behavioural data to “feed predictive models” and sell it to customers, i.e., Facebook, Google, Silicon Valley) and states that unlike big tech companies in which “if you do not pay you are the product,” publishing companies like Elsevier use researchers both as product and paying customers in “Surveillance publishing.” This allows the “data cartels” to feed predictive models and turn academics' data into a product, which is quietly sold to tech companies without the academics’ knowledge in a process Pooley calls “academic fracking.” Even open-access work is often restricted or enclosed within proprietary platforms that enable further data extraction. Pooley urges academics to push back now and campaign, before these companies fully extend their surveillance-driven business models into AI and continue monetizing scholarly work and researcher behaviour without accountability.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities of licensing textual content for generative AI, analyzing how existing open-access licenses (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0) perform in machine learning contexts. The author argues that most licenses were drafted without anticipating large-scale AI training or synthetic output generation, highlighting gaps in coverage while noting that marketplace solutions (through negotiated deals with publishers or voluntary collective management organizations—CMOs) are already emerging. The piece emphasizes that AI developers and rightsholders can collaboratively experiment with licensing arrangements, scaling compliance and business operations to mitigate risk, rather than relying on rigid, government-mandated frameworks. The author proposes that machine-readable licensing provisions, including TDM opt-out signals and provenance-tracking requirements, should become standard features of scholarly communication infrastructure, and engages with the question of whether OA constitutes a commons governed by norms of reciprocity or a reservoir open to private capture, examining case law around &quot;fair use&quot; defences for training data and the adequacy of attribution mechanisms when source texts are statistically blended beyond recognition.

&lt;/div&gt;

The authors propose data statements as a design intervention to reduce exclusion and bias in language technologies, particularly in NLP, arguing that such documentation can prevent misrepresentation and support more ethical and accurate system development. They define a data statement as a “critical enabling infrastructure” that helps developers understand how results may generalize, how systems should be deployed, and what biases might be present. Their recommended schema includes a detailed, long-form account (covering curation methods, language variety, speaker and annotator demographics, context of speech or text, and recording or text quality) and a short form that should accompany any publication using the dataset. Using two case studies, they demonstrate how this schema works in practice and conclude that without a field-wide commitment to this practice, efforts to confront bias will be severely weakened, whereas widespread adoption would immediately clarify representational limits and, over time, foster more inclusive datasets and value-sensitive research.

&lt;/div&gt;

Boyd explores how documentation frameworks such as “Datasheets for Datasets” function in practice for machine learning engineers, showing that open access to data alone does not ensure ethical or responsible AI development. Through think-aloud sessions with 23 practitioners, Boyd demonstrates that engineers who received a Datasheet identified ethical issues earlier and more frequently than those who did not, proving that documentation can actively shape how practitioners recognize, interpret, and respond to potential ethical issues in training data. Framing the analysis through the concept of ethical sensitivity (recognition, particularization, and judgment), Boyd argues that practices focused on structured interventions could increase ethical awareness, like datasheets that could serve as an infrastructure for ethical engagement, prompting engineers to reflect on dataset provenance, demographic representation, and the broader consequences of data reuse, factors often hidden or overlooked in open data environments. This study challenges the assumption that openness automatically leads to fairer AI systems. By offering empirical evidence of how documentation scaffolds ethical decision-making, the author makes a compelling case for embedding such practices throughout AI, especially as machine learning systems increasingly rely on openly available and ethically complicated data.

&lt;/div&gt;

Carroll et al. discuss how the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles for scientific data and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) principles for Indigenous Data Governance can be operationalized to allow Indigenous Peoples’ Rights to control their data, especially as big data and open data increase access to large datasets. The authors consider that the two sets of principles can be complimentary, both for scientific data and for data created by or about Indigenous Peoples. Scientific data can benefit from the CARE principles because many scientific datasets contain Indigenous Knowledge and these datasets can be oriented in ways that enhance the wellbeing of people by recording provenance and using appropriate governance models. Similarly, Indigenous Data can benefit from the FAIR principles to make data interoperable, regardless of the source or underlying technology, even if the datasets cannot be made openly accessible. The authors provide some recommendations to operationalize FAIR principles with CARE by making Indigenous data FAIR, raising awareness of the CARE Principles among the research community before engaging with Indigenous data, and testing ways to use CARE principles for Indigenous data.

&lt;/div&gt;

The authors ground the article in the structural biases embedded in data ecosystems and the ongoing processes of colonization that have produced epistemicide and constrained Indigenous Peoples’ ability to sustain their knowledges. They highlight how inequities operate across digital infrastructures and institutions, while Indigenous knowledge systems already engage with this complexity. The article directly refers to the tension between Indigenous Data Sovereignty and the data demands of AI, machine learning, and big data initiatives, noting that secondary data use and broad data sharing can threaten Indigenous rights, consent, and collective interests. Within this context, the Indigenous-led development of the CARE Principles (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) is discussed as a value-based response to concerns about the secondary use and reuse of Indigenous data. It highlights that open data for AI training is not a merely technical matter, but a political one, where broad data sharing and algorithmic extraction can underscore Indigenous rights, consent, and collective interests. By articulating CARE, authors argue for frameworks that centre people and purpose rather than solely data accessibility or system performance. The paper concludes that reclaiming control of data and data narratives shifts Indigenous Peoples from being subjects and invisible within data systems to self-determining users who shape governance, policy, ethics, and innovation in ways aligned with collective benefit and equity.

&lt;/div&gt;

Heger et al. (2022) examine whether existing data documentation frameworks actually meet the needs of machine learning (ML) practitioners, a crucial issue given that AI models now shape high-stakes decisions across disciplines and depend heavily on the quality and transparency of their training data. The authors argue that while documentation initiatives like Datasheets for Datasets aim to support responsible and transparent AI, little is known about how these tools function in industry settings, where workflows, pressures, and data types differ substantially from academic contexts. Through semi-structured interviews and a documentation exercise with 14 practitioners, they find that current documentation practices are largely ad hoc, narrow in scope, and often disconnected from responsible AI concerns. Participants struggled to understand the purpose of many documentation questions, were unsure of appropriate granularity, and often failed to recognize the ethical implications of dataset characteristics. Their findings reveal a significant gap between responsible AI ideals and everyday ML practices. The study provides evidence that documentation frameworks must be contextual, integrated into existing tools, and supported by actionable guidance if they are to prevent downstream harms. By deriving seven design requirements, the authors offer concrete directions for developing documentation standards that can support safer, more accountable open AI data practices.

&lt;/div&gt;

Huerta et al. (2023) survey a wide landscape of U.S. and European initiatives defining the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles for AI models, arguing that responsible AI requires more than open access, it requires infrastructures that make AI assets understandable, comparable, and genuinely reusable. Their main argument is that FAIR must be reinterpreted for AI because models, software, and workflows are now “first-class” research objects, and only coordinated, community-wide standards can support interpretability, reproducibility, and sustainable open science. By mapping dozens of large, interdisciplinary FAIR-for-AI efforts, the authors show how FAIRness enables cross-disciplinary model reuse, transparent benchmarking, and educational access, ultimately laying groundwork for foundation models built from FAIR, AI-ready datasets. The paper highlights a major gap in current AI openness debates: open access alone does not ensure usable, trustworthy, or equitable AI. The authors demonstrate that without shared metadata standards, integrated repositories, and long-term infrastructure, openness can fragment into silos that impede scientific discovery. Their community-focused perspective invites readers to see FAIR not as a bureaucratic checklist but as an evolving, collaborative project essential for scaling transparent, reusable AI across scientific domains.

&lt;/div&gt;

Taeihagh’s work takes on the evolving governance challenges surrounding generative AI, particularly the way its vast training data demands have injected new urgency into long-running debates over open data governance. Unlike rule-based AI systems designed for fixed, pre-specified tasks, generative models train on expansive datasets and produce novel outputs; The author argues that this reshapes the very terrain of risk. This shift invites distinct concerns: hallucination, jailbreak, exposure of sensitive information, accuracy failures, opacity, and the general difficulty of control. Taeihagh not only details how these risks emerge from the technical properties of generative systems but also proposes a governance framework that maps potential interventions to each category of risk and explores the institutional supports required to make such interventions effective. The framework is especially instructive for today’s AI data-governance debates, where the scale and unpredictability of generative models are compelling policymakers to rethink what openness should entail, whose interests it advances, and how governance mechanisms can guard against extractive data practices while steering AI development toward public values.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article is a cross-section that surveys the notion of openness in AI development before proprietary AI models entered the market, observing  the early approaches of competing companies including Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, as well as OpenAI’s origins as a non-profit organization—OpenAI now operates as a capped-profit company governed by a non-profit, functioning effectively as a for-profit public benefit corporation rather than a publicly traded entity. The article focuses on long-term moves towards openness and their implications, but also briefly considers the benefits and problems inherent in short- and medium-term openness: Bostrom speculates that too much openness runs the risk of curbing corporate (and therefore funding) interest, ultimately slowing the rate of AI’s technological progress. However, he also asks: “supposing openness would speed technical progress and rollout of AI capabilities, would that be socially beneficial?” (137). Bostrom notes a number of concerns ranging from public safety to labour encroachment, but still suggests that openness in AI development would be a net positive that accelerates the rate of technological progress in the short and middle-term. In the article’s long term section, Bostrom considers multiple scenarios in which openness might either help or hinder the safety and progress of a general AI superintelligence. He identifies distinct forms of openness (Science and Source Code; Control Methods and Risk Analysis; Capabilities and Expectations; and Values, Goals, and Governance Structures), addressing the potential value of openness in each, and argues that while openness is generally positive, especially in issues of values and safety, sharing too much knowledge may increase the odds someone will abuse this technology or ignore safety.

&lt;/div&gt;

Cooper shares Terence Eden's perspectives on the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and the open source movement, ultimately raising ethical and practical concerns about attribution and authorship in the age of AI-generated code. Eden believes that open source promotes technologies like AI, cloud, and the internet, driving efficiency, reducing duplication, and advancing scientific discovery. He raises an issue with AI’s use of open source without proper attribution violating one of open source’s core principles: crediting the original creator. Despite acknowledging that AI can assist developers and make programming more accessible, Eden cautions against viewing AI as a substitute for genuine understanding or creativity. Ultimately, Eden’s article is both a celebration and a warning: open source has empowered AI, but unless attribution and ethical use are safeguarded, AI may erode the very openness and integrity that made its success possible.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article analyses and summarizes copyright disputes related to Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) and isolates three primary stakeholders within these disputes: data owners, who create the content upon which AIGCs have been trained; model owners, who develop the AIGC applications and models (e.g., ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, etc.) themselves; and model users, who apply prompts to AIGC models to generate content. The authors consider the benefits, challenges, and risks that arise from each given stakeholder making a claim to copyright while considering the potential benefits and challenges of embracing copyleft (i.e., granting free use over material so long as the products of that free use are also under copyleft). In their contemplation of each stakeholder, they recognize the benefits for each group in advocating copyright to content, but also identify harm to other stakeholders, society, progress in developing AIGC, and institutions (e.g., “the copyright registration system”) The authors consider three real-life cases surrounding copyright disputes and envision how copyleft would effectively alleviate the disputes and tension surrounding their different stakeholders. The last half of the article performs a survey that asks users who have a range of familiarity with AIGC a range of questions, including who ought to have copyright claims to a generated image of the Mona Lisa in the style of Vincent Van Gogh. The authors note that their survey indicates consistent ambivalence, misunderstanding, and concern over copyright issues related to AIGC. The survey identified that there is support for applying copyleft to AIGC, and that that support increases the more someone understands the issues surrounding AIGC and copyright.

&lt;/div&gt;

Osborne aims to advance the ‘nascent research agenda on the political economy of open source AI’ by studying various corporate AI OSS donations to non-profit foundations and thereby sourcing and explaining corporate incentives behind their ‘democratization’ of AI. He firstly outlines this topic in detail, clarifying that the technology required to access AI is expensive, and developing AI even more so, meaning this ‘democratization’ represents only a lowering rather than removal of barriers. Osborne then considers the possible incentives behind organisational level decisions to democratize AI, as companies seek to competitively dominate industry norms, test and improve their products, enlarge intellectual property, reduce R&amp;D costs, and focus external research into their own AI. Significantly, individual developers of open source software do not have the same incentives but tend to accept commercial participation. On one hand, corporate participation means volunteers will be contributing towards these sources of corporate profit without reward; on the other hand, it risks companies dominating open research spaces and developing a complex intercompany research network of ‘co-opetition’ which individual volunteers cannot enter. Therefore, Osborne’s study is highly relevant to issues of commercialization and open scholarship and especially concerns of “open-washing.” The study’s results highlight the predominantly commercial incentives behind corporate “AI democratisation” efforts, appropriately mirroring its most common form—the democratization of governance. However, Osborne's results also illustrate the significance of the individual level, “bottom-up” movement, suggesting that a significant 38% of decisions to donate stemmed from developers. Despite this, he concludes that “AI democratization” is indeed “a strategic calculation, where companies relinquish control of their OSS project in exchange for assumed benefits”, as “democratisation of governance is treated as a social means for primarily economic and technological ends”, broadly supporting the works of Widder et al. and Srnicek, and encouraging other researchers to bring their attention to this area.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article provides a survey and analysis of the national strategies related to AI implemented by a dozen countries around the world. This article is of particular interest to those interested in concrete policies and regulations surrounding AI rather than discourse and rhetoric. Radu identifies a tension between nations claiming to take a leadership role and corporations that are “driving developments in the field”. More specifically, she observes that the vast “majority of binding agreements and voluntary commitments” come from corporations rather than nations or government regulatory bodies, indicating a concerning trend toward self-regulation. Governments have often played a key role in facilitating the conditions in which the development of AI technologies have thrived, even funding the rudimentary research that leads to AI models and applications, and this article notes that, regardless of the level of government regulation, the state is rarely a passive player when it comes to AI. Radu identifies the trend of a “dominant place for industry in the drafting process” and that representatives from industry make up a third of members drafting national strategies as well as prominent positions within those groups. Radu also notes absences: for instance, despite more than seventy countries using AI for surveillance, this issue is conspicuously absent from most strategies. Radu concludes that the common thread among many of these strategies is a hybridity between industry and state that affirms “the deliberate choice for functional indetermination,” resulting in a lack of clarity surrounding “who makes the rules and for how long,” and notes there are very few limitations placed on industry as these strategies instead provide vague ethical guidelines.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article proposes a hybrid AI copyright model that combines copyleft licensing and “patent trolling” in order to enforce an ethical approach to using AI models and training datasets. Schmit et al. contend that current legislation that applies to AI models and their use “are insufficient to impel ethical conduct” and require further consideration. The article advocates its hybrid model—Copyleft AI with Trusted Enforcement (CAITE)—as both rigorous and flexible, allowing for both self-reporting and monitoring. Essentially, the system works by creating an ecosystem in which AI models and training data are developed using copyleft, allowing for free use of these materials so long as the product of that use is covered by the same licensing agreement. At the same time, the enforcement of that licensing agreement is transferred to a regulatory entity called the CAITE Host, which acts as a positive counterpart to the patent troll, ensuring that no individual or organization breaches the terms of copyleft, introduces dangerous applications, data, or features, or unethically uses materials under the copyleft agreement. The CAITE Host and its code of ethics are driven by community oversight and buy-in ,and the host is regulated by the community. The authors contend that its flexibility and bottom-up structure make CAITE uniquely suited to handling the rapidly developing field of AI and its shifting needs. Once CAITE achieves a critical mass, it would also become increasingly unlikely for AI developers to opt out. The article concludes by proposing a pilot model for CAITE, and strongly suggests that such a framework is far preferable for industry and others than stringent, relatively slow-moving, and inflexible government regulation in isolation.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article introduces and describes a new form of content licensing, CCAI (Contextual Copyleft AI), designed to apply copyleft values and ethics to AI content, and should appeal to anyone interested in coding, copyright, and the (mis)use of training data for generative AI. The authors advocate for an approach that preserves the values of the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement by using copyleft as a mechanism for the rights of AI content. The CCAI license requires that the free use and distribution of the software in question, that any work derived from that software must also be licensed under CCAI, and that CCAI software must “include source code or provide a way to access it”. The CCAI draws from and imitates other copyleft licenses but explicitly addresses and outlines the expectations regarding specific components of AI models within its license, applying copyleft and a requirement of openness to training data, code, and parameters. The article contends that whether it is easily demonstrable or not, clear guidelines of when training on publicly available data is and is not okay can act as a deterrent to misuse, and the CCAI license will give developers more agency in how others use their code, accelerate open source AI development by giving open source AI models open source training data only they can use, and limit the practice of open washing—claims that software and AI is open source when it is not (or not fully open source). The authors admit there are security risks that come with open AI models (e.g., vulnerabilities to malicious actors), but they contend that the benefits far outweigh those risks, especially when accompanied by the implementation of the CCAI and complementary regulations.

They argue that interventions designed for private companies may be improper for open source contexts, highlighting gaps in current approaches to “Ethical AI.” Their purpose is to reveal these systemic vulnerabilities and propose frameworks that better address the unique social and technical dynamics of open source development. They use an open source Deepfake creation tool as an extreme case to highlight how ethical reasoning intersects with broader cultural frameworks and interview project leaders. In this case study, researchers offer a definition of “Down stream control assumptions”, suggesting that “Ethical AI” research and “design interventions’ would be improved by explicitly acknowledging these assumptions and identifying ways to work effectively under weak assumptions of downstream control in open sources contexts.

This article explores the tension between Open Science’s need to make knowledge freely accessible and the rise in GenAI and its tendencies to using any information available to it without necessarily considering how its application of such information (including information made available through Open Science) may do harm. These “frictions,” as the authors describe them, point to Open Science’s need to make data available while ensuring said data is not used to do harm. It is a concise summary of the foundational issues at the heart of these conversations, and great for anyone interested in how GenAI complicates Open Knowledge.  The authors propose selective licensing as one approach to curbing harm, but notes that this only protects against harm from direct use (e.g., “open-source code used to build a weapon”) and not an indirect use (e.g., “open-source library use within another algorithm that is in itself harmful”). Ultimately, they stress the need for new governance systems and regulations related to the creation of knowledge that prioritizes both the public good and right to research.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article develops best practices and guidelines for the use of LLMs (expressly language LLMs, not image, audio, or video) for empirical studies in software engineering (expressly data collection, processing, and analysis). The authors aim to “enable reproducibility and replicability” in the field even when LLMs are in use and “produce more reliable evidence on what LLM can and cannot deliver”. They present what they call a “taxonomy of Study Types” in addition to their guidelines, providing examples both within and beyond software engineering, all aimed at promoting the use of LLMs while promoting open science practices. The article considers LLMs as annotators, judges, synthesizers, and subjects in SE, and the guidelines Baltes et al. present have two tiers, MUST and SHOULD, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of practices without which SE research employing LLMs is rendered ineffective (e.g., declaring an LLM’s usage and role ) and those practices that merely make this sort of research more rigorous and accessible (e.g., including full interaction logs if privacy and confidentiality can be ensured). The authors advocate for these practices to better enable researchers in SE to engage with LLMs while practicing Open Science. Of particular interest is the way in which the authors structure their understanding of the field and guidelines, and how they recognize distinct studies require slightly different practices.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article outlines the inception and progress of EleutherAI, a lab and AI model first founded in 2020 by a group of (for the most part) university affiliated academics and researchers concerned that for-profit companies are the primary developers of GenAI research and models, and that there is a lack of transparency and openness related to these technologies. Those interested in alternative approaches to AI models or a concrete example of Open Science in action should read this article. Because these researchers want to make available a “capable large language model… for public use, study, and scrutiny,” they have conducted all EleutherAI research in the open, making it freely accessible to everyone (1): all research and discussions take place on Discord servers, and projects coordinated and teams assembled in those servers on a grassroots basis. This “public-facing research” leads to a “virtuous cycle” with little turn around between the conception of ideas and development of projects, and facilitates conversation, collaboration, and community by giving all users, even newcomers, unfettered access to every means of communication in which the group engages. The authors consider the downsides to such an approach as well, citing the issues of relying on volunteer labour, how others might take this public research for their own without proper accreditation to EleutherAI, and the important consideration that perhaps not all things should be made public, but ultimately conclude that such open research is integral to the academic community.

&lt;/div&gt;

Gundersen et al. examine the extent to which a widely accepted crisis in research reproducibility affects AI research. They do this by conducting a systematic replication study of thirty highly cited AI studies, allowing the authors to identify the problems with irreproducibility. Out of the gate, the replication process could only be attempted with twenty-two of these studies because their research data needed to be openly available and reproducible without special hardware. Furthermore, the twenty-two replications were each given forty working hours of effort, but twelve of these took too long and had to be stopped early, impacting their quality. In result, it was found that out of the twenty-two replication attempts began only six could be accurately reproduced and five partially reproduced, meaning a 50% success rate. The main problems for reproducibility were identified in six sources: the ‘source code’, ‘article’, ‘data’, ‘results’, and ‘resources’. Notably, each of the six accurate reproductions had code available, and the one other study with available code was a partial success limited by the time constraint, meaning availability of code alongside the data certainly improved the quality of the replication and was the most important factor for success. Therefore, despite limitations of a small sample size and time constraints, Gundersen et al.’s finding that AI research’s reproducibility climbs from 33% accuracy when only data is available to 86% when both code and data are available. This is a significant enough result to empirically demonstrate the benefits of mandating openness and transparency of code as well as data.

Helregel (2025) examines the complex intersection of artificial intelligence and the open science movement, questioning whether current AI technologies possess the necessary transparency to align with open research principles. The article explores multiple dimensions of this relationship, assessing both the potential for AI to actively advance open science goals and the broader impacts of AI adoption on the attitudes and behaviors of researchers and the public. Recognizing the critical role of library and information science professionals in navigating this shifting landscape, Helregel outlines concrete recommendations for institutional library practice. These actionable strategies include prioritizing internal knowledge-building, fostering cross-institutional advocacy, adapting consultation and liaison workflows, navigating complex licensing agreements, and enhancing science communication. Ultimately, the paper positions libraries as vital infrastructure for ensuring that AI integration supports, rather than undermines, the core tenets of transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility in scholarly communication.

&lt;/div&gt;

Hosseini et al. provide an overview of the potential benefits and downsides of incorporating generative AI into different open science practices, as defined by the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, particularly open access, open data, open source software, open evaluation, open science infrastructures, open engagement of societal actors, and open dialogue with other knowledge systems. Some common benefits across these practices is that generative AI has the potential to lower the barriers to participation in science, summarize academic literature for non-academic audiences, and simplify processes in coding and data management. However, the authors also warn about the potential risks, including the creation and spread of misinformation, the propagation of hegemonic worldviews, and the monetization of research information. Given these downsides and the high social and ecological costs of generative AI, the authors suggest researchers question if AI tools are the most efficient way of achieving openness in science. The final section of the paper includes further recommendations for institutions, funders, and publishers, such as providing training on the use of generative AI, monitoring its positive and negative impacts, and continuing testing its use for evaluation and assessment purposes.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article engages in a survey and interviews of the practices, motivations, and governance of fourteen Open LLMs with the aim of further enabling collaboration throughout the open LLM lifecycle. The essay provides an overview of terms for Open AI and major takeaways and challenges for different types of collaboration—types of collaboration include model, data, software, evaluation, non-technical, and compute—at the pre-training, post-training, and post-release stages of the LLM lifecycle. The authors also identify five governance frameworks for open LLM projects ranging from single companies to “non-profit-sponsored grassroots projects”. The authors opine that collaboration does not merely happen with LLMs themselves but the infrastructure and accompanying tools (e.g., datasets, open source frameworks, discussion fora, etc.) needed to produce and maintain them, and more research and attention needs to be given to the ecosystem surrounding LLMs. The article also includes recommendations “to support the global community of practitioners building a more open future for AI” for researchers and developers, AI companies, policy makers, and academic institutions, platform providers, and open source foundations. For instance, they recommend that policy makers fund infrastructure of public AI, not just specific models, use targeted initiatives to support regional languages, require publicly funded research to use licensing that aligns with Open Science principles, and insist on a clear definition of what constitutes Openness in these cases (36).

&lt;/div&gt;

This article presents an Open Science Speech Foundation Model (SFM) called FAMA, “the first family of large-scale open-science SFMs for English and Italian trained on over 150k hours of exclusively OS-compliant speech data.” FAMA’s results are comparable to its closed counterparts and considerably faster (up to 8 times). The authors present a brief summary of recent advancements in automatic speech recognition and speech translation while raising concerns about the closed nature of related applications’ training data and code and pointing to open source alternatives in different domains for inspiration. The majority of the article is dedicated to specifics of architecture, training, and results of FAMA compared to its competitors; however, the end results—that FAMA is competitive with and even outperforms its larger, non-open counterparts like OpenAI’s Whisper in some cases–is an excellent case study in how Open Science can work in the domain of LLMs and AI.

&lt;/div&gt;

Kember and Brand highlight that open access policies adopted to increase availability of publicly funded research “may unintentionally contribute to greater consolidation in academic publishing” by encouraging commercial publishers to “value quantity over quality and platforms over people.” Kember and Brand use the history of “corporate capture” as a guide, referencing the development of self-archiving practices into a “neoliberal framework” of “openness at any cost.” Open-access reforms which targeted academic publishing as a “monolithic… bad actor” enabled this by hurting small actors more than major commercial entities, which exploited their vulnerability. Since then, the largest publishers have initiated hybrid subscription models to charge more overall, or “Read-and-Publish” deals that are increasingly expensive, decimate shrinking library budgets, and reinforce inequities in authorship. Kember and Brand argue this process was driven by ignorance, error, and the ideology of “immediate interest,” where short term gains are prioritized. The neoliberal idea that “information wants to be free” is similarly “subjugating all values to those of the market,” as open-access policy “inherits a utopia and risks delivering a dystopia” by making vast amounts of linked data readily accessible to third parties. The answer lies in a network of non-profit, fair-profit, and international organizations, which could turn the “false promise of openness into truly public knowledge.”

&lt;/div&gt;

Luth examines how Digital Commons stakeholders such as Wikimedia influence the development of AI models trained on Creative Commons (CC) licensed content. He argues that while these resources are essential for AI training, AI developers’ compliance with license conditions is often uncertain, and some AI developers may bypass legal requirements. Luth highlights two strategies: using CC licenses to protect shared knowledge and collaborating to sustain the ecosystem of open access. By combining these approaches, stakeholders can support high-quality AI outputs while preserving the integrity of the Digital Commons. The article emphasizes that AI’s reliance on shared resources carries ethical and practical responsibilities and shows how open licensing can enhance the reliability and social value of AI.

&lt;/div&gt;

Pooley begins with the Microsoft–OpenAI vs. New York Times clash to show how both journalism and scholarly publishing are positioning themselves to charge AI firms for using their content. He notes, however, that journalism and academic publishing differ fundamentally: news organizations pay their writers, while scholarly publishers rely on research produced for free by academics or funded by taxpayers. Pooley criticizes commercial publishers for framing AI companies as “free-riders” even though those publishers themselves profit from vast unpaid scholarly labour. To clarify, the author uses the notion of  &quot;surveillance capitalism” (using behavioural data to “feed predictive models” and sell it to customers, i.e., Facebook, Google, Silicon Valley) and states that unlike big tech companies in which “if you do not pay you are the product,” publishing companies like Elsevier use researchers both as product and paying customers in “Surveillance publishing.” This allows the “data cartels” to feed predictive models and turn academics' data into a product, which is quietly sold to tech companies without the academics’ knowledge in a process Pooley calls “academic fracking.” Even open-access work is often restricted or enclosed within proprietary platforms that enable further data extraction. Pooley urges academics to push back now and campaign, before these companies fully extend their surveillance-driven business models into AI and continue monetizing scholarly work and researcher behaviour without accountability.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities of licensing textual content for generative AI, analyzing how existing open-access licenses (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0) perform in machine learning contexts. The author argues that most licenses were drafted without anticipating large-scale AI training or synthetic output generation, highlighting gaps in coverage while noting that marketplace solutions (through negotiated deals with publishers or voluntary collective management organizations—CMOs) are already emerging. The piece emphasizes that AI developers and rightsholders can collaboratively experiment with licensing arrangements, scaling compliance and business operations to mitigate risk, rather than relying on rigid, government-mandated frameworks. The author proposes that machine-readable licensing provisions, including TDM opt-out signals and provenance-tracking requirements, should become standard features of scholarly communication infrastructure, and engages with the question of whether OA constitutes a commons governed by norms of reciprocity or a reservoir open to private capture, examining case law around &quot;fair use&quot; defences for training data and the adequacy of attribution mechanisms when source texts are statistically blended beyond recognition.

&lt;/div&gt;

The authors propose data statements as a design intervention to reduce exclusion and bias in language technologies, particularly in NLP, arguing that such documentation can prevent misrepresentation and support more ethical and accurate system development. They define a data statement as a “critical enabling infrastructure” that helps developers understand how results may generalize, how systems should be deployed, and what biases might be present. Their recommended schema includes a detailed, long-form account (covering curation methods, language variety, speaker and annotator demographics, context of speech or text, and recording or text quality) and a short form that should accompany any publication using the dataset. Using two case studies, they demonstrate how this schema works in practice and conclude that without a field-wide commitment to this practice, efforts to confront bias will be severely weakened, whereas widespread adoption would immediately clarify representational limits and, over time, foster more inclusive datasets and value-sensitive research.

&lt;/div&gt;

Boyd explores how documentation frameworks such as “Datasheets for Datasets” function in practice for machine learning engineers, showing that open access to data alone does not ensure ethical or responsible AI development. Through think-aloud sessions with 23 practitioners, Boyd demonstrates that engineers who received a Datasheet identified ethical issues earlier and more frequently than those who did not, proving that documentation can actively shape how practitioners recognize, interpret, and respond to potential ethical issues in training data. Framing the analysis through the concept of ethical sensitivity (recognition, particularization, and judgment), Boyd argues that practices focused on structured interventions could increase ethical awareness, like datasheets that could serve as an infrastructure for ethical engagement, prompting engineers to reflect on dataset provenance, demographic representation, and the broader consequences of data reuse, factors often hidden or overlooked in open data environments. This study challenges the assumption that openness automatically leads to fairer AI systems. By offering empirical evidence of how documentation scaffolds ethical decision-making, the author makes a compelling case for embedding such practices throughout AI, especially as machine learning systems increasingly rely on openly available and ethically complicated data.

&lt;/div&gt;

Carroll et al. discuss how the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles for scientific data and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) principles for Indigenous Data Governance can be operationalized to allow Indigenous Peoples’ Rights to control their data, especially as big data and open data increase access to large datasets. The authors consider that the two sets of principles can be complimentary, both for scientific data and for data created by or about Indigenous Peoples. Scientific data can benefit from the CARE principles because many scientific datasets contain Indigenous Knowledge and these datasets can be oriented in ways that enhance the wellbeing of people by recording provenance and using appropriate governance models. Similarly, Indigenous Data can benefit from the FAIR principles to make data interoperable, regardless of the source or underlying technology, even if the datasets cannot be made openly accessible. The authors provide some recommendations to operationalize FAIR principles with CARE by making Indigenous data FAIR, raising awareness of the CARE principles among the research community before engaging with Indigenous data, and testing ways to use CARE principles for Indigenous data.

&lt;/div&gt;

The authors ground the article in the structural biases embedded in data ecosystems and the ongoing processes of colonization that have produced epistemicide and constrained Indigenous Peoples’ ability to sustain their knowledges. They highlight how inequities operate across digital infrastructures and institutions, while Indigenous knowledge systems already engage with this complexity. The article directly refers to the tension between Indigenous Data Sovereignty and the data demands of AI, machine learning, and big data initiatives, noting that secondary data use and broad data sharing can threaten Indigenous rights, consent, and collective interests. Within this context, the Indigenous-led development of the CARE principles (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) is discussed as a value-based response to concerns about the secondary use and reuse of Indigenous data. It highlights that open data for AI training is not a merely technical matter, but a political one, where broad data sharing and algorithmic extraction can underscore Indigenous rights, consent, and collective interests. By articulating CARE, authors argue for frameworks that centre people and purpose rather than solely data accessibility or system performance. The paper concludes that reclaiming control of data and data narratives shifts Indigenous Peoples from being subjects and invisible within data systems to self-determining users who shape governance, policy, ethics, and innovation in ways aligned with collective benefit and equity.

&lt;/div&gt;

Heger et al. (2022) examine whether existing data documentation frameworks actually meet the needs of machine learning (ML) practitioners, a crucial issue given that AI models now shape high-stakes decisions across disciplines and depend heavily on the quality and transparency of their training data. The authors argue that while documentation initiatives like Datasheets for Datasets aim to support responsible and transparent AI, little is known about how these tools function in industry settings, where workflows, pressures, and data types differ substantially from academic contexts. Through semi-structured interviews and a documentation exercise with 14 practitioners, they find that current documentation practices are largely ad hoc, narrow in scope, and often disconnected from responsible AI concerns. Participants struggled to understand the purpose of many documentation questions, were unsure of appropriate granularity, and often failed to recognize the ethical implications of dataset characteristics. Their findings reveal a significant gap between responsible AI ideals and everyday ML practices. The study provides evidence that documentation frameworks must be contextual, integrated into existing tools, and supported by actionable guidance if they are to prevent downstream harms. By deriving seven design requirements, the authors offer concrete directions for developing documentation standards that can support safer, more accountable open AI data practices.

&lt;/div&gt;

Huerta et al. (2023) survey a wide landscape of U.S. and European initiatives defining the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles for AI models, arguing that responsible AI requires more than open access, it requires infrastructures that make AI assets understandable, comparable, and genuinely reusable. Their main argument is that FAIR must be reinterpreted for AI because models, software, and workflows are now “first-class” research objects, and only coordinated, community-wide standards can support interpretability, reproducibility, and sustainable open science. By mapping dozens of large, interdisciplinary FAIR-for-AI efforts, the authors show how FAIRness enables cross-disciplinary model reuse, transparent benchmarking, and educational access, ultimately laying groundwork for foundation models built from FAIR, AI-ready datasets. The paper highlights a major gap in current AI openness debates: open access alone does not ensure usable, trustworthy, or equitable AI. The authors demonstrate that without shared metadata standards, integrated repositories, and long-term infrastructure, openness can fragment into silos that impede scientific discovery. Their community-focused perspective invites readers to see FAIR not as a bureaucratic checklist but as an evolving, collaborative project essential for scaling transparent, reusable AI across scientific domains.

&lt;/div&gt;

Taeihagh’s work takes on the evolving governance challenges surrounding generative AI, particularly the way its vast training data demands have injected new urgency into long-running debates over open data governance. Unlike rule-based AI systems designed for fixed, pre-specified tasks, generative models train on expansive datasets and produce novel outputs; The author argues that this reshapes the very terrain of risk. This shift invites distinct concerns: hallucination, jailbreak, exposure of sensitive information, accuracy failures, opacity, and the general difficulty of control. Taeihagh not only details how these risks emerge from the technical properties of generative systems but also proposes a governance framework that maps potential interventions to each category of risk and explores the institutional supports required to make such interventions effective. The framework is especially instructive for today’s AI data-governance debates, where the scale and unpredictability of generative models are compelling policymakers to rethink what openness should entail, whose interests it advances, and how governance mechanisms can guard against extractive data practices while steering AI development toward public values.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article is a cross-section that surveys the notion of openness in AI development before proprietary AI models entered the market, observing  the early approaches of competing companies including Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, as well as OpenAI’s origins as a non-profit organization—OpenAI now operates as a capped-profit company governed by a non-profit, functioning effectively as a for-profit public benefit corporation rather than a publicly traded entity. The article focuses on long-term moves towards openness and their implications, but also briefly considers the benefits and problems inherent in short- and medium-term openness: Bostrom speculates that too much openness runs the risk of curbing corporate (and therefore funding) interest, ultimately slowing the rate of AI’s technological progress. However, he also asks: “supposing openness would speed technical progress and rollout of AI capabilities, would that be socially beneficial?” (137). Bostrom notes a number of concerns ranging from public safety to labour encroachment, but still suggests that openness in AI development would be a net positive that accelerates the rate of technological progress in the short and middle-term. In the article’s long term section, Bostrom considers multiple scenarios in which openness might either help or hinder the safety and progress of a general AI superintelligence. He identifies distinct forms of openness (Science and Source Code; Control Methods and Risk Analysis; Capabilities and Expectations; and Values, Goals, and Governance Structures), addressing the potential value of openness in each, and argues that while openness is generally positive, especially in issues of values and safety, sharing too much knowledge may increase the odds someone will abuse this technology or ignore safety.

Cooper shares Terence Eden's perspectives on the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and the open source movement, ultimately raising ethical and practical concerns about attribution and authorship in the age of AI-generated code. Eden believes that open source promotes technologies like AI, cloud, and the internet, driving efficiency, reducing duplication, and advancing scientific discovery. He raises an issue with AI’s use of open source without proper attribution violating one of open source’s core principles: crediting the original creator. Despite acknowledging that AI can assist developers and make programming more accessible, Eden cautions against viewing AI as a substitute for genuine understanding or creativity. Ultimately, Eden’s article is both a celebration and a warning: open source has empowered AI, but unless attribution and ethical use are safeguarded, AI may erode the very openness and integrity that made its success possible.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article analyses and summarizes copyright disputes related to Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) and isolates three primary stakeholders within these disputes: data owners, who create the content upon which AIGCs have been trained; model owners, who develop the AIGC applications and models (e.g., ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, etc.) themselves; and model users, who apply prompts to AIGC models to generate content. The authors consider the benefits, challenges, and risks that arise from each given stakeholder making a claim to copyright while considering the potential benefits and challenges of embracing copyleft (i.e., granting free use over material so long as the products of that free use are also under copyleft). In their contemplation of each stakeholder, they recognize the benefits for each group in advocating copyright to content, but also identify harm to other stakeholders, society, progress in developing AIGC, and institutions (e.g., “the copyright registration system”) The authors consider three real-life cases surrounding copyright disputes and envision how copyleft would effectively alleviate the disputes and tension surrounding their different stakeholders. The last half of the article performs a survey that asks users who have a range of familiarity with AIGC a range of questions, including who ought to have copyright claims to a generated image of the Mona Lisa in the style of Vincent Van Gogh. The authors note that their survey indicates consistent ambivalence, misunderstanding, and concern over copyright issues related to AIGC. The survey identified that there is support for applying copyleft to AIGC, and that that support increases the more someone understands the issues surrounding AIGC and copyright.

&lt;/div&gt;

Osborne aims to advance the ‘nascent research agenda on the political economy of open source AI’ by studying various corporate AI OSS donations to non-profit foundations and thereby sourcing and explaining corporate incentives behind their ‘democratization’ of AI. He firstly outlines this topic in detail, clarifying that the technology required to access AI is expensive, and developing AI even more so, meaning this ‘democratization’ represents only a lowering rather than removal of barriers. Osborne then considers the possible incentives behind organisational level decisions to democratize AI, as companies seek to competitively dominate industry norms, test and improve their products, enlarge intellectual property, reduce R&amp;D costs, and focus external research into their own AI. Significantly, individual developers of open source software do not have the same incentives but tend to accept commercial participation. On one hand, corporate participation means volunteers will be contributing towards these sources of corporate profit without reward; on the other hand, it risks companies dominating open research spaces and developing a complex intercompany research network of ‘co-opetition’ which individual volunteers cannot enter. Therefore, Osborne’s study is highly relevant to issues of commercialization and open scholarship and especially concerns of “open-washing.” The study’s results highlight the predominantly commercial incentives behind corporate “AI democratisation” efforts, appropriately mirroring its most common form—the democratization of governance. However, Osborne's results also illustrate the significance of the individual level, “bottom-up” movement, suggesting that a significant 38% of decisions to donate stemmed from developers. Despite this, he concludes that “AI democratization” is indeed “a strategic calculation, where companies relinquish control of their OSS project in exchange for assumed benefits”, as “democratisation of governance is treated as a social means for primarily economic and technological ends”, broadly supporting the works of Widder et al. and Srnicek, and encouraging other researchers to bring their attention to this area.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article provides a survey and analysis of the national strategies related to AI implemented by a dozen countries around the world. This article is of particular interest to those interested in concrete policies and regulations surrounding AI rather than discourse and rhetoric. Radu identifies a tension between nations claiming to take a leadership role and corporations that are “driving developments in the field”. More specifically, she observes that the vast “majority of binding agreements and voluntary commitments” come from corporations rather than nations or government regulatory bodies, indicating a concerning trend toward self-regulation. Governments have often played a key role in facilitating the conditions in which the development of AI technologies have thrived, even funding the rudimentary research that leads to AI models and applications, and this article notes that, regardless of the level of government regulation, the state is rarely a passive player when it comes to AI. Radu identifies the trend of a “dominant place for industry in the drafting process” and that representatives from industry make up a third of members drafting national strategies as well as prominent positions within those groups. Radu also notes absences: for instance, despite more than seventy countries using AI for surveillance, this issue is conspicuously absent from most strategies. Radu concludes that the common thread among many of these strategies is a hybridity between industry and state that affirms “the deliberate choice for functional indetermination,” resulting in a lack of clarity surrounding “who makes the rules and for how long,” and notes there are very few limitations placed on industry as these strategies instead provide vague ethical guidelines.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article proposes a hybrid AI copyright model that combines copyleft licensing and “patent trolling” in order to enforce an ethical approach to using AI models and training datasets. Schmit et al. contend that current legislation that applies to AI models and their use “are insufficient to impel ethical conduct” and require further consideration. The article advocates its hybrid model—Copyleft AI with Trusted Enforcement (CAITE)—as both rigorous and flexible, allowing for both self-reporting and monitoring. Essentially, the system works by creating an ecosystem in which AI models and training data are developed using copyleft, allowing for free use of these materials so long as the product of that use is covered by the same licensing agreement. At the same time, the enforcement of that licensing agreement is transferred to a regulatory entity called the CAITE Host, which acts as a positive counterpart to the patent troll, ensuring that no individual or organization breaches the terms of copyleft, introduces dangerous applications, data, or features, or unethically uses materials under the copyleft agreement. The CAITE Host and its code of ethics are driven by community oversight and buy-in ,and the host is regulated by the community. The authors contend that its flexibility and bottom-up structure make CAITE uniquely suited to handling the rapidly developing field of AI and its shifting needs. Once CAITE achieves a critical mass, it would also become increasingly unlikely for AI developers to opt out. The article concludes by proposing a pilot model for CAITE, and strongly suggests that such a framework is far preferable for industry and others than stringent, relatively slow-moving, and inflexible government regulation in isolation.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article introduces and describes a new form of content licensing, CCAI (Contextual Copyleft AI), designed to apply copyleft values and ethics to AI content, and should appeal to anyone interested in coding, copyright, and the (mis)use of training data for generative AI. The authors advocate for an approach that preserves the values of the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement by using copyleft as a mechanism for the rights of AI content. The CCAI license requires that the free use and distribution of the software in question, that any work derived from that software must also be licensed under CCAI, and that CCAI software must “include source code or provide a way to access it”. The CCAI draws from and imitates other copyleft licenses but explicitly addresses and outlines the expectations regarding specific components of AI models within its license, applying copyleft and a requirement of openness to training data, code, and parameters. The article contends that whether it is easily demonstrable or not, clear guidelines of when training on publicly available data is and is not okay can act as a deterrent to misuse, and the CCAI license will give developers more agency in how others use their code, accelerate open source AI development by giving open source AI models open source training data only they can use, and limit the practice of open washing—claims that software and AI is open source when it is not (or not fully open source). The authors admit there are security risks that come with open AI models (e.g., vulnerabilities to malicious actors), but they contend that the benefits far outweigh those risks, especially when accompanied by the implementation of the CCAI and complementary regulations.

Widder et al. assert that significant understudied harms arise from divergent practices of “transparency and accountability” in the open source community. They argue that interventions designed for private companies may be improper for open source contexts, highlighting gaps in current approaches to “Ethical AI.” Their purpose is to reveal these systemic vulnerabilities and propose frameworks that better address the unique social and technical dynamics of open source development. They use an open source Deepfake creation tool as an extreme case to highlight how ethical reasoning intersects with broader cultural frameworks and interview project leaders. In this case study, researchers offer a definition of “Down stream control assumptions”, suggesting that “Ethical AI” research and “design interventions’ would be improved by explicitly acknowledging these assumptions and identifying ways to work effectively under weak assumptions of downstream control in open sources contexts.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article explores the tension between Open Science’s need to make knowledge freely accessible and the rise in GenAI and its tendencies to using any information available to it without necessarily considering how its application of such information (including information made available through Open Science) may do harm. These “frictions,” as the authors describe them, point to Open Science’s need to make data available while ensuring said data is not used to do harm. It is a concise summary of the foundational issues at the heart of these conversations, and great for anyone interested in how GenAI complicates Open Knowledge.  The authors propose selective licensing as one approach to curbing harm, but notes that this only protects against harm from direct use (e.g., “open-source code used to build a weapon”) and not an indirect use (e.g., “open-source library use within another algorithm that is in itself harmful”). Ultimately, they stress the need for new governance systems and regulations related to the creation of knowledge that prioritizes both the public good and right to research.

This article develops best practices and guidelines for the use of LLMs (expressly language LLMs, not image, audio, or video) for empirical studies in software engineering (expressly data collection, processing, and analysis). The authors aim to “enable reproducibility and replicability” in the field even when LLMs are in use and “produce more reliable evidence on what LLM can and cannot deliver”. They present what they call a “taxonomy of Study Types” in addition to their guidelines, providing examples both within and beyond software engineering, all aimed at promoting the use of LLMs while promoting open science practices. The article considers LLMs as annotators, judges, synthesizers, and subjects in SE, and the guidelines Baltes et al. present have two tiers, MUST and SHOULD, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of practices without which SE research employing LLMs is rendered ineffective (e.g., declaring an LLM’s usage and role ) and those practices that merely make this sort of research more rigorous and accessible (e.g., including full interaction logs if privacy and confidentiality can be ensured). The authors advocate for these practices to better enable researchers in SE to engage with LLMs while practicing Open Science. Of particular interest is the way in which the authors structure their understanding of the field and guidelines, and how they recognize distinct studies require slightly different practices.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article outlines the inception and progress of EleutherAI, a lab and AI model first founded in 2020 by a group of (for the most part) university affiliated academics and researchers concerned that for-profit companies are the primary developers of GenAI research and models, and that there is a lack of transparency and openness related to these technologies. Those interested in alternative approaches to AI models or a concrete example of Open Science in action should read this article. Because these researchers want to make available a “capable large language model… for public use, study, and scrutiny,” they have conducted all EleutherAI research in the open, making it freely accessible to everyone (1): all research and discussions take place on Discord servers, and projects coordinated and teams assembled in those servers on a grassroots basis. This “public-facing research” leads to a “virtuous cycle” with little turn around between the conception of ideas and development of projects, and facilitates conversation, collaboration, and community by giving all users, even newcomers, unfettered access to every means of communication in which the group engages. The authors consider the downsides to such an approach as well, citing the issues of relying on volunteer labour, how others might take this public research for their own without proper accreditation to EleutherAI, and the important consideration that perhaps not all things should be made public, but ultimately conclude that such open research is integral to the academic community.

&lt;/div&gt;

Gundersen et al. examine the extent to which a widely accepted crisis in research reproducibility affects AI research. They do this by conducting a systematic replication study of thirty highly cited AI studies, allowing the authors to identify the problems with irreproducibility. Out of the gate, the replication process could only be attempted with twenty-two of these studies because their research data needed to be openly available and reproducible without special hardware. Furthermore, the twenty-two replications were each given forty working hours of effort, but twelve of these took too long and had to be stopped early, impacting their quality. In result, it was found that out of the twenty-two replication attempts began only six could be accurately reproduced and five partially reproduced, meaning a 50% success rate. The main problems for reproducibility were identified in six sources: the ‘source code’, ‘article’, ‘data’, ‘results’, and ‘resources’. Notably, each of the six accurate reproductions had code available, and the one other study with available code was a partial success limited by the time constraint, meaning availability of code alongside the data certainly improved the quality of the replication and was the most important factor for success. Therefore, despite limitations of a small sample size and time constraints, Gundersen et al.’s finding that AI research’s reproducibility climbs from 33% accuracy when only data is available to 86% when both code and data are available. This is a significant enough result to empirically demonstrate the benefits of mandating openness and transparency of code as well as data.

Helregel (2025) examines the complex intersection of artificial intelligence and the open science movement, questioning whether current AI technologies possess the necessary transparency to align with open research principles.

Recognizing the critical role of library and information science professionals in navigating this shifting landscape, Helregel outlines concrete recommendations for institutional library practice. These actionable strategies include prioritizing internal knowledge-building, fostering cross-institutional advocacy, adapting consultation and liaison workflows, navigating complex licensing agreements, and enhancing science communication. Ultimately, the paper positions libraries as vital infrastructure for ensuring that AI integration supports, rather than undermines, the core tenets of transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility in scholarly communication.

Hosseini et al. provide an overview of the potential benefits and downsides of incorporating generative AI into different open science practices, as defined by the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, particularly open access, open data, open source software, open evaluation, open science infrastructures, open engagement of societal actors, and open dialogue with other knowledge systems. Some common benefits across these practices is that generative AI has the potential to lower the barriers to participation in science, summarize academic literature for non-academic audiences, and simplify processes in coding and data management. However, the authors also warn about the potential risks, including the creation and spread of misinformation, the propagation of hegemonic worldviews, and the monetization of research information. Given these downsides and the high social and ecological costs of generative AI, the authors suggest researchers question if AI tools are the most efficient way of achieving openness in science. The final section of the paper includes further recommendations for institutions, funders, and publishers, such as providing training on the use of generative AI, monitoring its positive and negative impacts, and continuing testing its use for evaluation and assessment purposes.

This article engages in a survey and interviews of the practices, motivations, and governance of fourteen Open LLMs with the aim of further enabling collaboration throughout the open LLM lifecycle. The essay provides an overview of terms for Open AI and major takeaways and challenges for different types of collaboration—types of collaboration include model, data, software, evaluation, non-technical, and compute—at the pre-training, post-training, and post-release stages of the LLM lifecycle. The authors also identify five governance frameworks for open LLM projects ranging from single companies to “non-profit-sponsored grassroots projects”. The authors opine that collaboration does not merely happen with LLMs themselves but the infrastructure and accompanying tools (e.g., datasets, open source frameworks, discussion fora, etc.) needed to produce and maintain them, and more research and attention needs to be given to the ecosystem surrounding LLMs. The article also includes recommendations “to support the global community of practitioners building a more open future for AI” for researchers and developers, AI companies, policy makers, and academic institutions, platform providers, and open source foundations. For instance, they recommend that policy makers fund infrastructure of public AI, not just specific models, use targeted initiatives to support regional languages, require publicly funded research to use licensing that aligns with Open Science principles, and insist on a clear definition of what constitutes Openness in these cases (36).

This article presents an Open Science Speech Foundation Model (SFM) called FAMA, “the first family of large-scale open-science SFMs for English and Italian trained on over 150k hours of exclusively OS-compliant speech data.” FAMA’s results are comparable to its closed counterparts and considerably faster (up to 8 times). The authors present a brief summary of recent advancements in automatic speech recognition and speech translation while raising concerns about the closed nature of related applications’ training data and code and pointing to open source alternatives in different domains for inspiration. The majority of the article is dedicated to specifics of architecture, training, and results of FAMA compared to its competitors; however, the end results—that FAMA is competitive with and even outperforms its larger, non-open counterparts like OpenAI’s Whisper in some cases–is an excellent case study in how Open Science can work in the domain of LLMs and AI.

&lt;/div&gt;

Kember and Brand highlight that open access policies adopted to increase availability of publicly funded research “may unintentionally contribute to greater consolidation in academic publishing” by encouraging commercial publishers to “value quantity over quality and platforms over people.” Kember and Brand use the history of “corporate capture” as a guide, referencing the development of self-archiving practices into a “neoliberal framework” of “openness at any cost.” Open-access reforms which targeted academic publishing as a “monolithic… bad actor” enabled this by hurting small actors more than major commercial entities, which exploited their vulnerability. Since then, the largest publishers have initiated hybrid subscription models to charge more overall, or “Read-and-Publish” deals that are increasingly expensive, decimate shrinking library budgets, and reinforce inequities in authorship. Kember and Brand argue this process was driven by ignorance, error, and the ideology of “immediate interest,” where short term gains are prioritized. The neoliberal idea that “information wants to be free” is similarly “subjugating all values to those of the market,” as open-access policy “inherits a utopia and risks delivering a dystopia” by making vast amounts of linked data readily accessible to third parties. The answer lies in a network of non-profit, fair-profit, and international organizations, which could turn the “false promise of openness into truly public knowledge.”

&lt;/div&gt;

Luth examines how Digital Commons stakeholders such as Wikimedia influence the development of AI models trained on Creative Commons (CC) licensed content. He argues that while these resources are essential for AI training, AI developers’ compliance with license conditions is often uncertain, and some AI developers may bypass legal requirements. Luth highlights two strategies: using CC licenses to protect shared knowledge and collaborating to sustain the ecosystem of open access. By combining these approaches, stakeholders can support high-quality AI outputs while preserving the integrity of the Digital Commons. The article emphasizes that AI’s reliance on shared resources carries ethical and practical responsibilities and shows how open licensing can enhance the reliability and social value of AI.

&lt;/div&gt;

Pooley begins with the Microsoft–OpenAI vs. New York Times clash to show how both journalism and scholarly publishing are positioning themselves to charge AI firms for using their content. He notes, however, that journalism and academic publishing differ fundamentally: news organizations pay their writers, while scholarly publishers rely on research produced for free by academics or funded by taxpayers. Pooley criticizes commercial publishers for framing AI companies as “free-riders” even though those publishers themselves profit from vast unpaid scholarly labour. To clarify, the author uses the notion of  &quot;surveillance capitalism” (using behavioural data to “feed predictive models” and sell it to customers, i.e., Facebook, Google, Silicon Valley) and states that unlike big tech companies in which “if you do not pay you are the product,” publishing companies like Elsevier use researchers both as product and paying customers in “Surveillance publishing.” This allows the “data cartels” to feed predictive models and turn academics' data into a product, which is quietly sold to tech companies without the academics’ knowledge in a process Pooley calls “academic fracking.” Even open-access work is often restricted or enclosed within proprietary platforms that enable further data extraction. Pooley urges academics to push back now and campaign, before these companies fully extend their surveillance-driven business models into AI and continue monetizing scholarly work and researcher behaviour without accountability.

This article provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities of licensing textual content for generative AI, analyzing how existing open-access licenses (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0) perform in machine learning contexts. The author argues that most licenses were drafted without anticipating large-scale AI training or synthetic output generation, highlighting gaps in coverage while noting that marketplace solutions (through negotiated deals with publishers or voluntary collective management organizations—CMOs) are already emerging. The piece emphasizes that AI developers and rightsholders can collaboratively experiment with licensing arrangements, scaling compliance and business operations to mitigate risk, rather than relying on rigid, government-mandated frameworks. The author proposes that machine-readable licensing provisions, including TDM opt-out signals and provenance-tracking requirements, should become standard features of scholarly communication infrastructure, and engages with the question of whether OA constitutes a commons governed by norms of reciprocity or a reservoir open to private capture, examining case law around &quot;fair use&quot; defences for training data and the adequacy of attribution mechanisms when source texts are statistically blended beyond recognition.

&lt;/div&gt;

The authors propose data statements as a design intervention to reduce exclusion and bias in language technologies, particularly in NLP, arguing that such documentation can prevent misrepresentation and support more ethical and accurate system development. They define a data statement as a “critical enabling infrastructure” that helps developers understand how results may generalize, how systems should be deployed, and what biases might be present. Their recommended schema includes a detailed, long-form account (covering curation methods, language variety, speaker and annotator demographics, context of speech or text, and recording or text quality) and a short form that should accompany any publication using the dataset. Using two case studies, they demonstrate how this schema works in practice and conclude that without a field-wide commitment to this practice, efforts to confront bias will be severely weakened, whereas widespread adoption would immediately clarify representational limits and, over time, foster more inclusive datasets and value-sensitive research.

&lt;/div&gt;

Boyd explores how documentation frameworks such as “Datasheets for Datasets” function in practice for machine learning engineers, showing that open access to data alone does not ensure ethical or responsible AI development. Through think-aloud sessions with 23 practitioners, Boyd demonstrates that engineers who received a Datasheet identified ethical issues earlier and more frequently than those who did not, proving that documentation can actively shape how practitioners recognize, interpret, and respond to potential ethical issues in training data. Framing the analysis through the concept of ethical sensitivity (recognition, particularization, and judgment), Boyd argues that practices focused on structured interventions could increase ethical awareness, like datasheets that could serve as an infrastructure for ethical engagement, prompting engineers to reflect on dataset provenance, demographic representation, and the broader consequences of data reuse, factors often hidden or overlooked in open data environments. This study challenges the assumption that openness automatically leads to fairer AI systems. By offering empirical evidence of how documentation scaffolds ethical decision-making, the author makes a compelling case for embedding such practices throughout AI, especially as machine learning systems increasingly rely on openly available and ethically complicated data.

&lt;/div&gt;

Carroll et al. discuss how the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles for scientific data and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) principles for Indigenous Data Governance can be operationalized to allow Indigenous Peoples’ Rights to control their data, especially as big data and open data increase access to large datasets. The authors consider that the two sets of principles can be complimentary, both for scientific data and for data created by or about Indigenous Peoples. Scientific data can benefit from the CARE principles because many scientific datasets contain Indigenous Knowledge and these datasets can be oriented in ways that enhance the wellbeing of people by recording provenance and using appropriate governance models. Similarly, Indigenous Data can benefit from the FAIR principles to make data interoperable, regardless of the source or underlying technology, even if the datasets cannot be made openly accessible. The authors provide some recommendations to operationalize FAIR principles with CARE by making Indigenous data FAIR, raising awareness of the CARE principles among the research community before engaging with Indigenous data, and testing ways to use CARE principles for Indigenous data.

&lt;/div&gt;

The authors ground the article in the structural biases embedded in data ecosystems and the ongoing processes of colonization that have produced epistemicide and constrained Indigenous Peoples’ ability to sustain their knowledges. They highlight how inequities operate across digital infrastructures and institutions, while Indigenous knowledge systems already engage with this complexity. The article directly refers to the tension between Indigenous Data Sovereignty and the data demands of AI, machine learning, and big data initiatives, noting that secondary data use and broad data sharing can threaten Indigenous rights, consent, and collective interests. Within this context, the Indigenous-led development of the CARE principles (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, and Ethics) is discussed as a value-based response to concerns about the secondary use and reuse of Indigenous data. It highlights that open data for AI training is not a merely technical matter, but a political one, where broad data sharing and algorithmic extraction can underscore Indigenous rights, consent, and collective interests. By articulating CARE, authors argue for frameworks that centre people and purpose rather than solely data accessibility or system performance. The paper concludes that reclaiming control of data and data narratives shifts Indigenous Peoples from being subjects and invisible within data systems to self-determining users who shape governance, policy, ethics, and innovation in ways aligned with collective benefit and equity.

&lt;/div&gt;

Heger et al. (2022) examine whether existing data documentation frameworks actually meet the needs of machine learning (ML) practitioners, a crucial issue given that AI models now shape high-stakes decisions across disciplines and depend heavily on the quality and transparency of their training data. The authors argue that while documentation initiatives like Datasheets for Datasets aim to support responsible and transparent AI, little is known about how these tools function in industry settings, where workflows, pressures, and data types differ substantially from academic contexts. Through semi-structured interviews and a documentation exercise with 14 practitioners, they find that current documentation practices are largely ad hoc, narrow in scope, and often disconnected from responsible AI concerns. Participants struggled to understand the purpose of many documentation questions, were unsure of appropriate granularity, and often failed to recognize the ethical implications of dataset characteristics. Their findings reveal a significant gap between responsible AI ideals and everyday ML practices. The study provides evidence that documentation frameworks must be contextual, integrated into existing tools, and supported by actionable guidance if they are to prevent downstream harms. By deriving seven design requirements, the authors offer concrete directions for developing documentation standards that can support safer, more accountable open AI data practices.

&lt;/div&gt;

Huerta et al. (2023) survey a wide landscape of US and European initiatives defining the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles for AI models, arguing that responsible AI requires more than open access, it requires infrastructures that make AI assets understandable, comparable, and genuinely reusable. Their main argument is that FAIR must be reinterpreted for AI because models, software, and workflows are now “first-class” research objects, and only coordinated, community-wide standards can support interpretability, reproducibility, and sustainable open science. By mapping dozens of large, interdisciplinary FAIR-for-AI efforts, the authors show how FAIRness enables cross-disciplinary model reuse, transparent benchmarking, and educational access, ultimately laying groundwork for foundation models built from FAIR, AI-ready datasets. The paper highlights a major gap in current AI openness debates: open access alone does not ensure usable, trustworthy, or equitable AI. The authors demonstrate that without shared metadata standards, integrated repositories, and long-term infrastructure, openness can fragment into silos that impede scientific discovery. Their community-focused perspective invites readers to see FAIR not as a bureaucratic checklist but as an evolving, collaborative project essential for scaling transparent, reusable AI across scientific domains.

&lt;/div&gt;

Taeihagh’s work takes on the evolving governance challenges surrounding generative AI, particularly the way its vast training data demands have injected new urgency into long-running debates over open data governance. Unlike rule-based AI systems designed for fixed, pre-specified tasks, generative models train on expansive datasets and produce novel outputs. The author argues that this reshapes the very terrain of risk. This shift invites distinct concerns: hallucination, jailbreak, exposure of sensitive information, accuracy failures, opacity, and the general difficulty of control. Taeihagh not only details how these risks emerge from the technical properties of generative systems but also proposes a governance framework that maps potential interventions to each category of risk and explores the institutional supports required to make such interventions effective. The framework is especially instructive for today’s AI data-governance debates, where the scale and unpredictability of generative models are compelling policymakers to rethink what openness should entail, whose interests it advances, and how governance mechanisms can guard against extractive data practices while steering AI development toward public values.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article is a cross-section that surveys the notion of openness in AI development before proprietary AI models entered the market, observing  the early approaches of competing companies including Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, as well as OpenAI’s origins as a non-profit organization—OpenAI now operates as a capped-profit company governed by a non-profit, functioning effectively as a for-profit public benefit corporation rather than a publicly traded entity. The article focuses on long-term moves toward openness and their implications, but also briefly considers the benefits and problems inherent in short- and medium-term openness: Bostrom speculates that too much openness runs the risk of curbing corporate (and therefore funding) interest, ultimately slowing the rate of AI’s technological progress. However, he also asks: “Supposing openness would speed technical progress and rollout of AI capabilities, would that be socially beneficial?” (137). Bostrom notes a number of concerns ranging from public safety to labour encroachment, but still suggests that openness in AI development would be a net positive that accelerates the rate of technological progress in the short and middle-term. In the article’s long term section, Bostrom considers multiple scenarios in which openness might either help or hinder the safety and progress of a general AI superintelligence. He identifies distinct forms of openness (Science and Source Code; Control Methods and Risk Analysis; Capabilities and Expectations; and Values, Goals, and Governance Structures), addressing the potential value of openness in each, and argues that while openness is generally positive, especially in issues of values and safety, sharing too much knowledge may increase the odds someone will abuse this technology or ignore safety.

Cooper shares Terence Eden's perspectives on the evolving relationship between artificial intelligence and the open source movement, ultimately raising ethical and practical concerns about attribution and authorship in the age of AI-generated code. Eden believes that open source promotes technologies like AI, cloud, and the internet, driving efficiency, reducing duplication, and advancing scientific discovery. He raises an issue with AI’s use of open source without proper attribution violating one of open source’s core principles: crediting the original creator. Despite acknowledging that AI can assist developers and make programming more accessible, Eden cautions against viewing AI as a substitute for genuine understanding or creativity. Ultimately, Eden’s article is both a celebration and a warning: open source has empowered AI, but unless attribution and ethical use are safeguarded, AI may erode the very openness and integrity that made its success possible.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article analyses and summarizes copyright disputes related to Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) and isolates three primary stakeholders within these disputes: data owners, who create the content upon which AIGCs have been trained; model owners, who develop the AIGC applications and models (e.g., ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, etc.) themselves; and model users, who apply prompts to AIGC models to generate content. The authors consider the benefits, challenges, and risks that arise from each given stakeholder making a claim to copyright while considering the potential benefits and challenges of embracing copyleft (i.e., granting free use over material so long as the products of that free use are also under copyleft). In their contemplation of each stakeholder, they recognize the benefits for each group in advocating copyright to content, but also identify harm to other stakeholders, society, progress in developing AIGC, and institutions (e.g., “the copyright registration system”). The authors consider three real-life cases surrounding copyright disputes and envision how copyleft would effectively alleviate the disputes and tension surrounding their different stakeholders. The last half of the article performs a survey that asks users who have a range of familiarity with AIGC a range of questions, including who ought to have copyright claims to a generated image of the Mona Lisa in the style of Vincent Van Gogh. The authors note that their survey indicates consistent ambivalence, misunderstanding, and concern over copyright issues related to AIGC. The survey identified that there is support for applying copyleft to AIGC, and that that support increases the more someone understands the issues surrounding AIGC and copyright.

&lt;/div&gt;

Osborne aims to advance the &quot;nascent research agenda on the political economy of open source AI&quot; by studying various corporate AI OSS donations to non-profit foundations and thereby sourcing and explaining corporate incentives behind their &quot;democratization&quot; of AI. He firstly outlines this topic in detail, clarifying that the technology required to access AI is expensive, and developing AI even more so, meaning this &quot;democratization&quot; represents only a lowering rather than removal of barriers. Osborne then considers the possible incentives behind organizational level decisions to democratize AI, as companies seek to competitively dominate industry norms, test and improve their products, enlarge intellectual property, reduce R&amp;D costs, and focus external research into their own AI. Significantly, individual developers of open source software do not have the same incentives but tend to accept commercial participation. On one hand, corporate participation means volunteers will be contributing toward these sources of corporate profit without reward; on the other hand, it risks companies dominating open research spaces and developing a complex intercompany research network of &quot;co-opetition&quot; which individual volunteers cannot enter. Therefore, Osborne’s study is highly relevant to issues of commercialization and open scholarship and especially concerns of “open-washing.” The study’s results highlight the predominantly commercial incentives behind corporate “AI democratisation” efforts, appropriately mirroring its most common form—the democratization of governance. However, Osborne's results also illustrate the significance of the individual level, “bottom-up” movement, suggesting that a significant 38% of decisions to donate stemmed from developers. Despite this, he concludes that “AI democratization” is indeed “a strategic calculation, where companies relinquish control of their OSS project in exchange for assumed benefits,” as “democratisation of governance is treated as a social means for primarily economic and technological ends,” broadly supporting the works of Widder et al. and Srnicek, and encouraging other researchers to bring their attention to this area.

This article provides a survey and analysis of the national strategies related to AI implemented by a dozen countries around the world. It is of particular interest to those interested in concrete policies and regulations surrounding AI rather than discourse and rhetoric. Radu identifies a tension between nations claiming to take a leadership role and corporations that are “driving developments in the field.” More specifically, she observes that the vast “majority of binding agreements and voluntary commitments” come from corporations rather than nations or government regulatory bodies, indicating a concerning trend toward self-regulation. Governments have often played a key role in facilitating the conditions in which the development of AI technologies have thrived, even funding the rudimentary research that leads to AI models and applications, and this article notes that, regardless of the level of government regulation, the state is rarely a passive player when it comes to AI. Radu identifies the trend of a “dominant place for industry in the drafting process” and that representatives from industry make up a third of members drafting national strategies as well as prominent positions within those groups. Radu also notes absences: for instance, despite more than seventy countries using AI for surveillance, this issue is conspicuously absent from most strategies. Radu concludes that the common thread among many of these strategies is a hybridity between industry and state that affirms “the deliberate choice for functional indetermination,” resulting in a lack of clarity surrounding “who makes the rules and for how long,” and notes there are very few limitations placed on industry as these strategies instead provide vague ethical guidelines.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article proposes a hybrid AI copyright model that combines copyleft licensing and “patent trolling” in order to enforce an ethical approach to using AI models and training datasets. Schmit et al. contend that current legislation that applies to AI models and their use “are insufficient to impel ethical conduct” and require further consideration. The article advocates its hybrid model—Copyleft AI with Trusted Enforcement (CAITE)—as both rigorous and flexible, allowing for both self-reporting and monitoring. Essentially, the system works by creating an ecosystem in which AI models and training data are developed using copyleft, allowing for free use of these materials so long as the product of that use is covered by the same licensing agreement. At the same time, the enforcement of that licensing agreement is transferred to a regulatory entity called the CAITE Host, which acts as a positive counterpart to the patent troll, ensuring that no individual or organization breaches the terms of copyleft, introduces dangerous applications, data, or features, or unethically uses materials under the copyleft agreement. The CAITE Host and its code of ethics are driven by community oversight and buy-in, and the host is regulated by the community. The authors contend that its flexibility and bottom-up structure make CAITE uniquely suited to handling the rapidly developing field of AI and its shifting needs. Once CAITE achieves a critical mass, it would also become increasingly unlikely for AI developers to opt out. The article concludes by proposing a pilot model for CAITE, and strongly suggests that such a framework is far preferable for industry and others than stringent, relatively slow-moving, and inflexible government regulation in isolation.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article introduces and describes a new form of content licensing, CCAI (Contextual Copyleft AI), designed to apply copyleft values and ethics to AI content, and should appeal to anyone interested in coding, copyright, and the (mis)use of training data for generative AI. The authors advocate for an approach that preserves the values of the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement by using copyleft as a mechanism for the rights of AI content. The CCAI license requires that the free use and distribution of the software in question, that any work derived from that software must also be licensed under CCAI, and that CCAI software must “include source code or provide a way to access it.” The CCAI draws from and imitates other copyleft licenses but explicitly addresses and outlines the expectations regarding specific components of AI models within its license, applying copyleft and a requirement of openness to training data, code, and parameters. The article contends that whether it is easily demonstrable or not, clear guidelines of when training on publicly available data is and is not okay can act as a deterrent to misuse, and the CCAI license will give developers more agency in how others use their code, accelerate open source AI development by giving open source AI models open source training data only they can use, and limit the practice of open washing—claims that software and AI is open source when it is not (or not fully open source). The authors admit there are security risks that come with open AI models (e.g., vulnerabilities to malicious actors), but they contend that the benefits far outweigh those risks, especially when accompanied by the implementation of the CCAI and complementary regulations.

They use an open source Deepfake creation tool as an extreme case to highlight how ethical reasoning intersects with broader cultural frameworks and interview project leaders. In this case study, researchers offer a definition of “Down stream control assumptions,” suggesting that “Ethical AI” research and “design interventions&quot; would be improved by explicitly acknowledging these assumptions and identifying ways to work effectively under weak assumptions of downstream control in open sources contexts.

This article explores the tension between Open Science’s need to make knowledge freely accessible and the rise in GenAI and its tendencies to use any information available to it without necessarily considering how its application of such information (including information made available through Open Science) may do harm. These “frictions,” as the authors describe them, point to Open Science’s need to make data available while ensuring said data is not used to do harm. It is a concise summary of the foundational issues at the heart of these conversations, and great for anyone interested in how GenAI complicates Open Knowledge. The authors propose selective licensing as one approach to curbing harm, but notes that this only protects against harm from direct use (e.g., “open-source code used to build a weapon”) and not an indirect use (e.g., “open-source library use within another algorithm that is in itself harmful”). Ultimately, they stress the need for new governance systems and regulations related to the creation of knowledge that prioritizes both the public good and right to research.

The authors aim to “enable reproducibility and replicability” in the field even when LLMs are in use and “produce more reliable evidence on what LLM can and cannot deliver.” They present what they call a “taxonomy of Study Types” in addition to their guidelines, providing examples both within and beyond software engineering, all aimed at promoting the use of LLMs while promoting open science practices. The article considers LLMs as annotators, judges, synthesizers, and subjects in SE, and the guidelines Baltes et al. present have two tiers, MUST and SHOULD, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of practices without which SE research employing LLMs is rendered ineffective (e.g., declaring an LLM’s usage and role) and those practices that merely make this sort of research more rigorous and accessible (e.g., including full interaction logs if privacy and confidentiality can be ensured). The authors advocate for these practices to better enable researchers in SE to engage with LLMs while practicing Open Science. Of particular interest is the way in which the authors structure their understanding of the field and guidelines, and how they recognize distinct studies require slightly different practices.

This article outlines the inception and progress of EleutherAI, a lab and AI model first founded in 2020 by a group of (for the most part) university affiliated academics and researchers concerned that for-profit companies are the primary developers of GenAI research and models, and that there is a lack of transparency and openness related to these technologies. Those interested in alternative approaches to AI models or a concrete example of Open Science in action should read this article. Because these researchers want to make available a “capable large language model… for public use, study, and scrutiny,” they have conducted all EleutherAI research in the open, making it freely accessible to everyone (1): all research and discussions take place on Discord servers, and projects coordinated and teams assembled in those servers on a grassroots basis. This “public-facing research” leads to a “virtuous cycle” with little turnaround between the conception of ideas and development of projects, and facilitates conversation, collaboration, and community by giving all users, even newcomers, unfettered access to every means of communication in which the group engages. The authors consider the downsides to such an approach as well, citing the issues of relying on volunteer labour, how others might take this public research for their own without proper accreditation to EleutherAI, and the important consideration that perhaps not all things should be made public, but ultimately conclude that such open research is integral to the academic community.

&lt;/div&gt;

Gundersen et al. examine the extent to which a widely accepted crisis in research reproducibility affects AI research. They do this by conducting a systematic replication study of thirty highly cited AI studies, allowing the authors to identify the problems with irreproducibility. Out of the gate, the replication process could only be attempted with twenty-two of these studies because their research data needed to be openly available and reproducible without special hardware. Furthermore, the twenty-two replications were each given forty working hours of effort, but twelve of these took too long and had to be stopped early, impacting their quality. In result, it was found that out of the twenty-two replication attempts began only six could be accurately reproduced and five partially reproduced, meaning a 50% success rate. The main problems for reproducibility were identified in six sources: the ‘source code’, ‘article’, ‘data’, ‘results’, and ‘resources’. Notably, each of the six accurate reproductions had code available, and the one other study with available code was a partial success limited by the time constraint, meaning availability of code alongside the data certainly improved the quality of the replication and was the most important factor for success. Therefore, despite limitations of a small sample size and time constraints, Gundersen et al.’s finding that AI research’s reproducibility climbs from 33% accuracy when only data is available to 86% when both code and data are available. This is a significant enough result to empirically demonstrate the benefits of mandating openness and transparency of code as well as data.

&lt;/div&gt;

Helregel (2025) examines the complex intersection of artificial intelligence and the open science movement, questioning whether current AI technologies possess the necessary transparency to align with open research principles. The article explores multiple dimensions of this relationship, assessing both the potential for AI to actively advance open science goals and the broader impacts of AI adoption on the attitudes and behaviors of researchers and the public. Recognizing the critical role of library and information science professionals in navigating this shifting landscape, Helregel outlines concrete recommendations for institutional library practice. These actionable strategies include prioritizing internal knowledge-building, fostering cross-institutional advocacy, adapting consultation and liaison workflows, navigating complex licensing agreements, and enhancing science communication. Ultimately, the paper positions libraries as vital infrastructure for ensuring that AI integration supports, rather than undermines, the core tenets of transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility in scholarly communication.

&lt;/div&gt;

Hosseini et al. provide an overview of the potential benefits and downsides of incorporating generative AI into different open science practices, as defined by the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, particularly open access, open data, open source software, open evaluation, open science infrastructures, open engagement of societal actors, and open dialogue with other knowledge systems. Some common benefits across these practices is that generative AI has the potential to lower the barriers to participation in science, summarize academic literature for non-academic audiences, and simplify processes in coding and data management. However, the authors also warn about the potential risks, including the creation and spread of misinformation, the propagation of hegemonic worldviews, and the monetization of research information. Given these downsides and the high social and ecological costs of generative AI, the authors suggest researchers question if AI tools are the most efficient way of achieving openness in science. The final section of the paper includes further recommendations for institutions, funders, and publishers, such as providing training on the use of generative AI, monitoring its positive and negative impacts, and continuing testing its use for evaluation and assessment purposes.

&lt;/div&gt;

This article engages in a survey and interviews of the practices, motivations, and governance of fourteen Open LLMs with the aim of further enabling collaboration throughout the open LLM lifecycle. The essay provides an overview of terms for Open AI and major takeaways and challenges for different types of collaboration—types of collaboration include model, data, software, evaluation, non-technical, and compute—at the pre-training, post-training, and post-release stages of the LLM lifecycle. The authors also identify five governance frameworks for open LLM projects ranging from single companies to “non-profit-sponsored grassroots projects”. The authors opine that collaboration does not merely happen with LLMs themselves but the infrastructure and accompanying tools (e.g., datasets, open source frameworks, discussion fora, etc.) needed to produce and maintain them, and more research and attention needs to be given to the ecosystem surrounding LLMs. The article also includes recommendations “to support the global community of practitioners building a more open future for AI” for researchers and developers, AI companies, policy makers, and academic institutions, platform providers, and open source foundations. For instance, they recommend that policy makers fund infrastructure of public AI, not just specific models, use targeted initiatives to support regional languages, require publicly funded research to use licensing that aligns with Open Science principles, and insist on a clear definition of what constitutes Openness in these cases (36).

&lt;/div&gt;

This article presents an Open Science Speech Foundation Model (SFM) called FAMA, “the first family of large-scale open-science SFMs for English and Italian trained on over 150k hours of exclusively OS-compliant speech data.” FAMA’s results are comparable to its closed counterparts and considerably faster (up to 8 times). The authors present a brief summary of recent advancements in automatic speech recognition and speech translation while raising concerns about the closed nature of related applications’ training data and code and pointing to open source alternatives in different domains for inspiration. The majority of the article is dedicated to specifics of architecture, training, and results of FAMA compared to its competitors; however, the end results—that FAMA is competitive with and even outperforms its larger, non-open counterparts like OpenAI’s Whisper in some cases–is an excellent case study in how Open Science can work in the domain of LLMs and AI.

== After WikiNews shuts down....? ==

Can people try and write news articles here? Thank you! [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/BigKrow|contribs]]) 22:30, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

:Thanks for asking. You have a similar thread at our sister project Wikiversity and I am the equivalent of an admin there (we have a &quot;curators&quot; and &quot;custodians&quot; that are similar to admins on other projects). I'm not an admin here, but speaking as someone who has generally contributed here, writing news articles would not be appropriate. It would be great to write a textbook on [[journalism]]: we could use a great guide for ethics, finding sources, asking questions, objectivity and neutrality, etc. Unlike on Wikiversity, where the learning materials can be virtually anything, this project is specifically for a textbook/guide/manual, so writing news articles and posting them here is not really appropriate, but you could have a few example articles that you write for the purpose of having a textbook. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (&lt;span style=&quot;color:grey&quot;&gt;ko'''a'''vf&lt;/span&gt;)]]&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯&lt;/span&gt; 23:46, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Please change 'By clicking the &quot;Save Page&quot; button, you are agreeing to the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms_of_Use|Terms of Use]] and the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy|Privacy Policy]]' to 'By clicking the &quot;Publish changes&quot; button, you are agreeing to the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms_of_Use|Terms of Use]] and the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Privacy_policy|Privacy Policy]]', so that it matches the button text.

Hi @kittycataclysm,
  
Thank you so much for reviewing the book. I believe it falls within the scope of Wikibooks because it is an educational textbook. 

Its purpose is to teach readers how to start and manage an online business through structured chapters, learning objectives, practical exercises, examples and references. 

While the material is based on my own work, it is being adapted specifically for Wikibooks under the required free licence and is intended for collaborative improvement by the community. The topic aligns with existing instructional books on business, marketing, entrepreneurship and vocational education already hosted on Wikibooks. If there are specific structural or content changes needed to better meet Wikibooks guidelines, I would appreciate that feedback and will gladly make the necessary improvements.

Warm regards [[User:Xrato|Xrato]] ([[User talk:Xrato|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Xrato|contribs]]) 16:16, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

'''Mippedia''' is a multilingual online encyclopedia project designed to aggregate and organize structured information across a wide spectrum of fields, including history, music, arts, regional culture, and notable public figures. Managed collaboratively by the Mippedia Community, the platform is driven by an open-contribution methodology aimed at providing accessible reference materials to readers worldwide.&lt;ref&gt;[https://id.mippedia.org/wiki/Mippedia:Tentang Mippedia: About the Project] Mippedia Official Site, accessed April 7, 2026.&lt;/ref&gt;

The project operates primarily across two language editions: [[w:Indonesian language|Indonesian]] and [[w:English language|English]]. Founded in 2022 by musician [[w:Rumi Haitami|Rumi Haitami]], Mippedia functions as an independent general reference platform designed for educational and informational purposes.

== History and Evolution ==

== Initial Launch (2022) ==
The project was officially initiated on August 17, 2022. During its early phase, development focused exclusively on establishing a specialized encyclopedia in the Indonesian language. This preliminary stage concentrated on building foundational guidelines, content standards, and structuring preliminary entry categories.

As system infrastructure and visual identity matured, the initiative expanded its reach with the formal launch of the English edition on December 13, 2022. This expansion marked Mippedia's transition into a broader international scope.

== Conceptual Vision ==
The platform was conceived with the goal of creating a structured, transparent knowledge repository capable of sustainable growth. Emphasis was placed on community-driven moderation, enabling volunteer contributors to draft, expand, and curate entries within a standardized framework.

== The Mippedia Portal Project (2024) ==
By early 2024, the growth of distinct language editions highlighted the need for a unified search and navigational interface. On February 28, 2024, the community initiated the development of a centralized access hub. 

This initiative culminated in the official release of the '''Mippedia Portal''' on March 16, 2024. The portal serves as a unified entry point, allowing users to query articles, categories, and media assets across all language subdomains within the Mippedia ecosystem.

== Characteristics and Editorial Standards ==

As an informational resource, Mippedia adheres to strict encyclopedic conventions designed to ensure neutrality, clarity, and reliability.

== Content Architecture ==
Articles hosted on Mippedia are categorized topically and interconnected using internal semantic links. A standard entry typically incorporates:
* Lead Section: A concise introductory summary defining the topic.
* Main Body: Chronological, thematic, or conceptual breakdowns of the subject.
* Supporting Context: References, external links, and related cross-references.

Content guidelines prohibit subjective commentary, personal opinions, or promotional literature.

== Curation and Quality Assurance ==
To maintain editorial integrity, Mippedia employs a peer-driven review and curation mechanism. Submissions undergo periodic verification to ensure that entries reflect verifiable facts and meet digital publishing standards. Given the dynamic nature of online information, entries are subject to ongoing edits and updates as new sources become available.

= Multilingual Architecture =

Mippedia is structured as a decentralized, multilingual framework where each language edition operates autonomously according to its specific linguistic and cultural context.

== Primary Language Focuses ==
* '''Indonesian Mippedia:''' The foundational edition, tailored primarily toward regional subjects, localized documentation, and Indonesian-speaking audiences.
* '''English Mippedia:''' The global edition, serving an international readership and focusing on broader topics with global relevance.

While articles across different language editions are linked via the central portal, entries are not required to be direct word-for-word translations of one another. Instead, content development is driven by the availability of credible references within each respective language community.

= Scope and Limitations =

Mippedia is designed as a preliminary reference tool. Users and researchers should note the following operational scope:
1. Secondary Nature: Mippedia entries are tertiary summaries and should not replace primary sources, peer-reviewed academic literature, or official records.
2. Completeness: Content comprehensiveness varies depending on community activity and available documentation.

= References =
&lt;references&gt;
&lt;/references&gt;

The Life and Death Diaries Part 1 and Part 2 by Chloe Edith Booth

Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Book

'''This book is a sincere and deeply personal account rather than a detached medical explanation. The strongest aspect is its authenticity. It reads from lived experience, and that comes across clearly. Readers who have experienced epilepsy, mental health difficulties, or who care for someone who has,are likely to find that perspective compelling. I believe readers interested in epilepsy, temporal lobe epilepsy, mental health, neurology, or memoirs could find it both informative and moving.'''</text>

[[Talk:Erlang Programming#Mnesia]].

= Erlang Programming/Using mnesia =
Mnesia is a distributed key-value store, it can be replicated across many Erlang nodes.

== Creating a database ==
To create a Mnesia database, the Mnesia application should be started, and the Erlang node(s) used should be specified in a &lt;code&gt;mnesia:create_schema&lt;/code&gt; call.

=== Creating a schema ===
To start Mnesia and create a Mnesia database on the node which you are currently using:&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;erlang&quot;&gt;
% Create a schema in this node only
mnesia:create_schema([node()]).

% Start Mnesia, does nothing if Mnesia is already started
mnesia:start().
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

==== Table copy types ====
Mnesia can store tables within nodes as disk copies, disk only copies, or RAM copies.

* Disk-only copies store the table in storage only. (&lt;code&gt;disc_only_copies&lt;/code&gt;)
* Disk copies store the table in storage and RAM. (&lt;code&gt;disc_copies&lt;/code&gt;)
* RAM copies store the table in RAM only. (&lt;code&gt;ram_copies&lt;/code&gt;)

Storing table copies to disk results in slow access time but persists across restarts, while storing table copies to RAM results in fast access time with no restart persistence.

To create a table on this node in RAM only:&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;erlang&quot;&gt;
% Create a RAM-only table &quot;example1&quot; in this node only
% This will return an error if the table already exists, which is normal
mnesia:create_table(example1, [
    {ram_copies, [node()]},
]).
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;</text>
