The OSDK is a complete cross-development system allowing you to create software for the Oric range of computers 1.
If you are interested in developing your programs for other 6502 based machines than the Oric, you should check cc65.You are still reading, so I assume that you are still interested in the OSDK. Good.
Welcome to the OSDK!
System requirements
The platform requirement for the OSDK are pretty minimalistic: It runs on anything that runs Windows, and it is compatible with Wine so you can also run it on Linux 2
Licence model
Due to the composite nature of this SDK, it is difficult to give a clear statement such as 'the OSDK is using the ZLib/BSD/GPL/WTFPL licence'.
On the other hand, what you can or cannot do is relatively clear:
On the other hand, what you can or cannot do is relatively clear:
- You are free to use the SDK or any part of it to build anything you want, even if you plan to sell the resulting product.
- You are free to modify the source code, fork it, extend it, etc...
- Reselling the actual source code of the SDK or any part of it, is not allowed
- Putting your own copyright on the files, is not allowed
- Putting your own licence on the files is discouraged
- Crediting the original authors somewhere in your documentation, is appreciated
1) This includes the Oric 1, Oric Atmos, Oric Nova 64, Pravetz 8D and Oric Telestrat. OSDK is not compatible with the first, original, machine in the Oric range (the Microtan 65).If you never heard of Oric before, you can read about it on Wikipedia
2) A real Linux port will be available at some point, in the meantime this Wine compatibility should be good enough.
