Is there a DSK available, which includes the actual version? My Contiki DSK is still from 2005 ;)

Hmm,

you are a genius, I forgot to check.

If there isnt, as he states how to build a .DSK, I will do it this week-end.

Thank you, Emmanuel! :) TBH I am not very experienced with SDCC...

Yup, as I was reading the article last night myself I thought the same thing... It'd be nice to have a disk image!

Hi,
The DSK file is available in the "releases" tab: Releases · pulkomandy/contiki-1.x · GitHub (https://github.com/pulkomandy/contiki-1.x/releases)
I thought this was obvious but a lot of people seem to miss it?

You were faster than me, I saw it yesterday and was about to write about it today.

Yes, you should add a link in the description at the top so people can go right where it goes interesting :-)

@PulkoMandy (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=26): Thanks, and sorry, I was only searching through the directories and didn't notice the release tab.
That's a huge improvement compared to the first version! The roadmap sounds very promising! Are you still working on this?

I guess the next huge improvement would be to replace the firmware textroutines with own ones, and in this case directly introduce 4x8 pixel chars for a fast 80x25 screen + adding scroll routines.

Is it the typical way how the desktop is updated? (switching between windows, open new window etc. -> that all plots everything from back to front again and again)
