I have to write my IoT coursework in an Ubuntu VM running on Linux 3.2. VBox Guest Additions doesn't support this Ubuntu version, neither does anything else. Contiki, the operating system we're coding for has been abandoned for many years, the devs moved to a new project called Contiki NG. If I try to compile with any standard above ANSI C it fails with cryptic errors deep inside the OS. The docs for the old Contiki are paginated with JS so I can't use the browser's fulltext search, but they also don't have proper bulitin search.

This cannot be legal. They are violating every accessibility guideline in existence. I just need the text to be slightly larger and even I have to go through hell. I imagine blind, deaf or dyslexic students just give up.

Hello guys!

Some context: our subject thesis is: "Benchmarking of IoT OS". We decided to narrow down the subject to a benchmarking of real-time OS. Examples of RTOS: Contiki, RIOT, ...

As there are no such papers on the subject out there, we are looking for some people/communities that could help us answer our questions.

Thank you for your time!

Using float in a simple structure for a network project running on Contiki. I was trying to print this structure for debug purpose and I noticed that all my float don't show up 😦

After some Googling, I ended-up on a mailing list saying that float and double are not useable in Contiki 😒

I get that double is too large (8bytes) but seriously a float is just 4bytes!

Well for now our floating numbers are just integer 😌
