Pretty much what the post says.
How straightforward would porting be? Is Vi/Vim small enough to fit as an addin?

From the vim developers list:
Code:
So yes, it's (maybe) possible, since 1MB is near the upper limit of what we can put on the Prizm. Don't forget all the dynamic dependencies, though, like curses/ncurses, the standard library, and much more. I'm inclined to think that with its non-standard keyboard, vim's advantages just won't be that powerful on the Prizm, and therefore not really worth it over a more basic editor.
Code:
zack <at> aquarium:~/pkg-vim/trunk$ ls -l tiny-executables/*/usr/bin/

do you think we it would be possible to port this text editor for fx9860 to PRIZM?
Back to the topic, IMO you should not port vi because it would be useless; its power is based on the standard keyboard. Imagine scrolling with "hjkl" on the prizm's keyboard 
It would be cool to have nano on the prizm.

Or any standard text editor, for starters.

You make a good point about vi/vim not being well-suited to a Prizm indeed, although I suppose the hotkeys could be modified to fit the Prizm's keyboard better. flyingfisch wrote:
what was the sticking-point?
There are some built-in text input syscalls, i tried to use them, but everything became chaotic
I am working on supporting nucurses in libfxcg you could help with my fork of libfxcg maybe implement more xterm escape characters. https://github.com/ComputerNerd/libfxcg
Ncurses compiles just fine with this configuration
it works but just displays a bunch of garbage characters on screen.
Code:
Also I have got python to compile. It will run but during start-up it runs out of heap. Here are the instructions on how to compile python2.7
Step 1 create a file called config.site and put in it
ac_cv_file__dev_ptmx=no
ac_cv_file__dev_ptc=no
Step 2 run CONFIG_SITE=config.site ./configure --host=sh3eb-elf --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu CFLAGS="-m4a-nofpu -mb -Os -mhitachi -Wall -I$HOME/Documents/casio/libfxcg/include" LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/Documents/casio/libfxcg/lib -nostartfiles -T$HOME/Documents/casio/libfxcg/toolchain/prizm.x -Wl,-static -Wl,-gc-sections" --disable-ipv6 --without-threads --without-signal-module
Replace directories with your's
Step 3 edit pyconfig.h and add the following lines
#define DONT_HAVE_STAT 1
#define DONT_HAVE_FSTAT 1
#define PY_FORMAT_LONG_LONG "ll"
Step 4 edit Makefile
Replace all references of -O3 with -Os
Step 5 edit Modules/python.c change main(int argc,char ** argv) to main (void)
After #include "Python.h" add #include <fxcg/terminal.h>
After int
main(void){
Add
FXCGinitTerminal
FXCGgetArgs
NO semicolens needed
(optional but recomeneded)
the line before the }
add
int key;
GetKey(&key);
Step 6 run make python

I wonder if trying to remix PrizmIO with an ncurses backend would make it more or less sane than it already is. I tend to think it would just get less sane, sadly.
Anyway, more on-topic: Have you done some debugging to try to track down why it's displaying garbage?

Not all of the escape codes are implemented yet so they end up getting displayed on screen.

I would like to point out that I wrote a quick example that uses some terminal escape codes that one works good see
