[Article] Emulate Ox64 BL808 in the Web Browser: Experiments with TinyEMU

[lupyuen]

In olden times we had Computer Games (plus Operating Systems) on 5.25-inch Floppy Disks. And we’d boot the Floppy Disks (clackety-clack) on Apple II Computers with 64 KB RAM.

Today (40 years later) we boot microSD Cards (clickety-click) on Ox64 BL808 RISC-V Single-Board Computers with 64 MB RAM.

What if we could turn it into a Virtual Ox64 SBC that boots in our Web Browser? Exactly like an Emulated Apple II!

In this article we…
(1) Take Apache NuttX RTOS precompiled for Ox64 (Without any modifications)
(2) Boot it on the TinyEMU RISC-V Emulator
(3) Create our own Emulator for Ox64 SBC (With minor tweaks to TinyEMU)
(4) And run everything in our Web Browser (Thanks to WebAssembly)

Here's the article:
