🚀 Project: PicoOS (Retro CLI for RP2350)

For this Stardance marathon, I’m building a minimalist, retro-styled operating system running entirely on the new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (RP2350) using MicroPython!

The goal is to blend the nostalgic command-line simplicity of MS-DOS with the modular design and philosophy of Unix/Linux. Everything is designed to be as close to the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and suckless principles as possible.

What I’m shipping:

  • A custom, fast interactive CLI shell over serial (USB/UART).
  • A modular file system structure where commands are isolated scripts (like a real /bin directory).
  • Direct low-level hardware poking (GPIO, PWM, I2C) right from the prompt.
  • No bloated abstractions, just clean and simple code.

Can’t wait to log hours on this and see how far I can push this little dual-core chip. Let’s build! 💻🔥
