Comment on Project Oberon - The Design of an Operating System, a Compiler, and a Computerparent

Comments

I can't offer a URL but I thought Wirth ported Oberon to some sort of ARM processor (in the last ten years or so) to control an RC airplane or some such.

If anyone cares about Oberon on ARM, look here, the linked articles with "Helicopter" in the title tell the tale:

I suppose one could email Dr. Wirth asking for the source code but in reality, you'd be better off forking a newer version of Oberon. It should be as easy to port as a compiler can be.
