#Fusix is an #Unix-like (libre, LGPL) OS and system developed by Alan Cox (one of the main developers of Linux kernel), that work on 1970's and 80's 8 & 16 bits processors, and now work on #ESP8266 microcontroller too, thanks to the work of Hjalfi. The whole port process work is visible on Youtube and commented (following this link).
