Sparcv9 runs Openboot in 64 bit mode, which means the cell size is 64bit. Use intptr_t where appropriate to make the open firmware calls work. Beware, some values are still 32bit, this matters for example for of_getprop, if you get 32bits into a 64bit variables it will be in the MSB of it (big endian only weakness...) and confuse things. See for example in console.cpp, where the input and output handles are retrieved as 32bit values. It seems wise to check the expected size when using of_getprop in these cases, instead of just checking for errors.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
Contributing code

Contributing documentation
The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found
in the tree at docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write
documentation for it, and submit a patch.
