Contiki V2.4 New Release! Download includes Breadbox64
26.08.2010

The „Contiki 2.4 binary release for Retrocomputing“ has been released. It is available at

http://cbm8bit.com/contiki/

and at

http://a2retrosystems.com/contiki.html

This release was built using cc65 2.13.2 from (modified) Contiki 2.4 sources. The orginal sources are available at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/contiki/files/Contiki/Contiki%202.4/contiki-2.4.zip/download

and the modifications at

http://cbm8bit.com/contiki/contiki-2.4-addon.zip

Contiki 1.x integrated all programs into a common GUI as windows. Very cool but very complex to write programs for. In fact there was never a Contiki 1.x GUI program which was not developed by the Contiki core team – and as the Contiki core team doesn’t develop GUI programs anymore Contiki 1.x was sort of a deadend street.

So in order to ease development of 3rd-party Contiki program Oliver Schmidt modified Contiki 2.x to focus on individual standalone programs with a fullscreen GUI. This simplification significantly reduced the memory consumption thus allowing to replace custom „hacks“ with generic cc65 components:
– C-library startup code
– Linker config file
– CONIO library
– Mouse driver

As a result, Contiki 2.x contains only very little assembler coding and even less target-specific assembler coding. This allowed for easy porting to targets beside the C64 namely the C128 and Apple II. Porting to other cc65 targets wasn’t done due to missing Ethernet hardware.

Contiki 2.4 is the first 2.x release to contain the following programs:
– dhcp client
– web server
– web browser
– wget
– smtp client
– irc client
– Twitter client

The Twitter client called BREADBOX64 proves that the Contiki 2.x approach was actual successful as it was independently developed by the 3rd-party developer Johan Van den Brande.

Another contribution to this release worthwhile mentioning is the CBM filesystem implemented by Soci which is both very compact and includes fast IDE64 I/O support on the C64.

Ontop of lots of other improvements, especially the following issues were fixed:
– Malfunctioning DNS lookup
– Missing PETSCII conversion for the smtp credentials
– Incorrect fixing of all disk I/O to drive 8

Hardware availability
02.02.2010

MMC Replay is completely sold out. It is still unsure whether there will be another batch of MMCRs. The manufacturer is currently concentrating on the new Chameleon cartridge.
However, a remaining stock of the Retro Replay freezer cartridge is available again (limited stock!).

The Competition Pro Joystick can be obtained again as well, either as single joystick(s), or in form of the limited Competition Pro 4 Player Bundle: 4 Competition Pro joysticks and one 4 Player Interface at a reduced price.
The ethernet card RR-Net is on stock again, too.

Did you know? RR-Net and MP3@64 also fit on the new IDE64, available from http://www.ide64.org/.
Last but not least, Cartridge Cases are also available in yellow now!
