<h4>History</h4>
<p>Xinu originally ran on Digital Equipment Corporation LSI 11's with only 64K bytes of memory, at the end of 1979 and the inning of 1980. Over the years Xinu versions Xinu have been expanded and ported to a wide variety of architectures and platforms, including: IBM PC, Macintosh, Digital Equipment Corporation VAX and DECStation 3100, Sun Microsystems Sun 2, Sun 3 and Sparcstations, and for several ARM, MIPS and x86 embedded boards. It has been used as the basis for many research projects. Furthermore, Xinu has been used as an embedded system in products by companies such as Motorola, Mitsubishi, Hewlett-Packard, and Lexmark. There is a full TCP/IP stack, and even the original version of Xinu (for the PDP-11) supported arbitrary processes and network I/O.</p>
<p>There are current versions of Xinu for Galileo Intel boards, ARM Beagle Boards, several MIPS platforms, and for x86 PC hardware and virtual machines.</p>
