Justin Armstrong wrote JaysOS, a “toy OS” that runs on the Gameboy Advance. It provides preemptive threads, semaphores, condition variables, and message queues. As of 0.2, it also includes a port of the Waba VM for Java bytecodes. Waba comes with a few interesting demo applets you can try out. The OS apps interact with the world using the “UI Manager”. Screenshots and more information available.

Is this an alternative for all the bible bashers who spurned AtheOS?
