Augustin Cavalier a381a48f86 ipro1000: Always use DELAY() for microsecond pauses (on Haiku.) pause() has granularity of "hz", which on FreeBSD and in our compat layer is defined to be 1000 (so, 1ms.) As "safe_pause_us" is used copoiously throughout startup code, this meant that (1) startup takes 100-1000x longer than it needed to (this driver seems to most commonly delay for 10us), and (2) this could in theory block the boot for multiple minutes if one got particularly unlucky with the scheduler. Probably helps with or even outright fixes #14795.		2019-01-04 17:06:22 -05:00

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!
