Well, it's a long time since last update. Today, I sat down to my new board around PIC32MZ2048ECG064
and configured/complied/loaded LiteBSD system to run on it from internal RC oscillator

This is more powerful system than previous one with PIC32MX - only 128kB RAM / 80MHz compared to 512kB RAM and 200MHz of PIC32MZ, not mentioning new OS, so I'm definitely going to employ this MCU on MiniBSD computer.

Please keep us posted. I really like your first version and especially the keyboard. Wish I had one of those for my project. I'm currently trying to use one from a HP Jornada.
Are you sure? yes | no
Thanks. The first keyboard is actually quite crappy, those are just telephone switches, but it has some amount of retro feeling. The HP Jornada keyboard looks much more professional.
