Molecular Simulation
Faunus is a scientific software written in modern C++/Python for simulating molecular systems at multiple length and time scales. Over two decades we have kept up with the C++ standard and is now at C++17.
Contribution: Creator and development lead.
Ancient Plotting
Xmgr is an ancient but still popular GUI tool for plotting scientific data. It was utterly abandoned until we resurrected the code base.
Contribution: CMake build system; bug fixes; and support for 64-bit systems; Macports recipe.
Compiler Backend Development
LLVM-MOS supports the MOS Technology 65xx series of microprocessors and enables C, C++, Rust compilers on a series of 8-bit computers.
Contribution: memory layout for the MEGA65 and Commander X16 targets; (dis)assembly for 65CE02 CPU derivatives. See all PR’s here and here.
Embedded
Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL)
Rust HAL for MOS Technology graphics and sound chips using memory-mapped I/O. This includes FFI bindings to mega65-libc.
Contribution: Creator and development lead. Mega65-libc contributions here.
Rust on Espressif ESP Micro-controllers
We have made contributions to the esp-idf-hal
crate for running Rust on Espressif’s ESP family of micro-controllers.
Contribution: Refactoring of RGB color handling.
Graphics Display Driver
We maintain a library for display drivers
for graphics on extremely restricted systems using the embedded-graphics crate.
Contribution: Creator and development lead.
Hardware Remote Control via HTTP and Serial Communications
Ultimate64 is a CLI for communicating with Ultimate 64/II+ hardware via HTTP requests. Matrix65 is a modern text user-interface (TUI) for serial communication with the MEGA65 computer. Both tools are written in Rust .
