KnightOS is one of my favorite projects, a custom OS for many models of the TI calculator series. It was the inspiration for my own custom Forth-based OS for the TI-84+ (zkeme80). Motivated by the success of using Nix in that project to ensure that it would be possible to build and run the emulator locally, I wanted to preserve KnightOS as well.
This repository is self-contained. At the moment of writing some components of KnightOS tooling are in Nixpkgs, and some are pending merge.
To compile and run KnightOS, clone this repository and navigate to it,
then enter the Nix shell and type runit. You'll need a network
connection as the SDK fetches the libraries and kernel. After the
packages are installed, you'll be in the debugger. Enter run to run
the emulator, then press F12 (fn + F12 on macOS) to turn the
calculator on.
