Just asking

[K€N]

Hi there, my name is ken,
and i have rockbox installed on my ipod 

i see that you guys have developed a sort of operating system from ground up
VERY NICE JOB good luck
i have some questions regarding your project:

can you tell me some tech details about rockbox kernel?
it would be possible to port it to x86?
multitasking?
what processor architectures are currently supported?
it would be possible to build another operating system on the base of rockbox core??

thanks

it would be possible to port it to x86?

The UI simulator is basically a port of the application part (but not the driver part) to linux/windows running on x86 or whatever.  If you mean actually boot an x86 system into rockbox without unix/windows to handle hardware, that would be a lot of work.  x86 is complicated.

multitasking?

We have cooperative multitasking among threads, the entire system is basically one process and we have no virtual memory.

what processor architectures are currently supported?

ARM, Coldfire, MIPS and SH1. 

it would be possible to build another operating system on the base of rockbox core??

Depends what you mean.

Just answering (your thread title is really undescriptive!):

I forgot we had some wiki articles on the kernel functions.  Just take care to check the dates, some of those docs are fairly old and may be out of date.
