/* Other Operating Systems for the CPC */
[[Image:contikicpc.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Contiki running on the Amstrad CPC]]
Previously there have been attempts to port Contiki to the CPC. The most first successful port was done by [[Kevin Thacker]].
This was accomplished by:
# The networking hardware was not at a sufficiently developed stage.
The original plan was to implement [[CPC Booster ]] support in Contiki.
The CPC would be connected to the PC via a serial cable.
On the PC would be Linux running Slip or PPP.
The Amstrad version is based on Contiki v1.0.
== Other Operating Systems for the CPC = Later updates ===
* [[CP/M]]In 2014, and later in 2023, PulkoMandy updated the port to use a newer version of SDCC. The code generation has improved a lot, and some issues with the drawing code were solved to make it a lot less slow, and almost usable.
* [[FutureOS]]To free more RAM, the kernel code was moved to an expansion ROM, leaving a lot more RAM for applications to be loaded. This should allow resuming the effort on porting the network applications. But there is still no driver for any CPC hardware to use with it for now.
* [[SymbOS]]This version is based on the latest version of Contiki 1.2, with several updates that never made it into an official release of Contiki. The version 1 of Contiki is no longer developped, and version 2 has no desktop and windowing system.
