Hey Everybody,
=A0
My name is Joseph Barrow and I am 14 years old.=A0 I am wondering about a p=
roject that I recently decded to undertake.=A0 I was wondering if you could=
interface a Mega32 chip with an LCD screen, a PS/2 keyboard, and an SD car=
d, which is booted off of (a homebrew operating system, thinking of calling=
it JoeS, just for Kicks and Giggles).=A0 I just need to know if it is a pl=
ausible idea, and if you think it is, please email me with your address, an=
d I will scan in my schematic (drawn in Magic Marker, about 6 different col=
ors), and send it to you to edit.=A0=20

Please Email me, anybody who is interested.

Joseph,
Have you played with putting an ATmega32 onto a breadboard and building a programmer?
If not and you want to get your feet wet with microcontrollers I would suggest Smiley's
book and a AVR Butterfly http://www.smileymicros.com . Or just pick up an AVR Butterfly
(ATmega169) and start Google searching and ask questions here or on AVRFreaks.com.
Best regards
Jim Ronald

Hello Slok,
I think it is a plausible idea. Have you considered working with an
opensource OS, study it and then customizing it to your needs?

Hello Joseph,
I think your project is feasible although quite some work.
You might look around at AVRfreaks for routines for some of your=20
functions (i.e. SD/MMC, PS/2 keyboard, LCD) and combine them with=20
your OS (to be). Do you know about AVRX?
For some ideas in hardware have a look at a german page with some=20
(over here) quite popular projects (there is a button for a=20
translation on top of the pages, but we all know what automatic=20
translations are in for ;-)):
http://www.ulrichradig.de/home/index.php/avr/eth_m32_ex and

Thank you Mr. Uderman,
Actually, that was another plan of mine.=A0 I would think that COPOS (an OS=
from a Cornell student, I looked at it, and it is great), or freeRTOS migh=

arts for Christmas.)
Thanks Again,

Hello Joseph,
I think your project is feasible although quite some work.
You might look around at AVRfreaks for routines for some of your=20
functions (i.e. SD/MMC, PS/2 keyboard, LCD) and combine them with=20
your OS (to be). Do you know about AVRX?
For some ideas in hardware have a look at a german page with some=20
(over here) quite popular projects (there is a button for a=20
translation on top of the pages, but we all know what automatic=20
translations are in for ;-)):
