About 50 people invited (Maemo developers, UX experts, ecc....)

If you are a Maemo developer and you have good user interface designer skills, this is the place for you.

Spim is a self-contained simulator that will run MIPS32 assembly language programs. It reads and executes assembly language programs written for this processor. spim also provides a simple debugger and minimal set of operating system services. spim does not execute binary (compiled) programs.

I made a port of spim for the Nokia 770/800 device just for fun and to start learning how to do ports.

Download

You can download spim for N770/800 from here: http://www.ptlug.org/download/packages/spim_7.3-1_armel.deb
