Trying it on an ultimate 64 running at 48mhz. Screenshot is a few minutes out of date, but...

My cat stepped on the keyboard here and it acted like I expect Linux to, complete with XON/XOFF console pause :)

51min, starting sysctl.
Current stream (will become video)..
Stream was made with OBS, Output was taken from the HDMI port of the ultimate 64, this is not emulated.

My cat jumped on the keyboard some more, it hasn't crashed yet.

Somewhat usable... tab completion worked.

Some things noted when I tried to use this more:

1. Capital letters are not recognized, might be a petscii problem.
2. Need things like the curly braces and bar to be able to use shell properly.

Preload to prompt: 4 mins

Console quirks.
We definitely need a custom /etc/termcap for C64.
TERM being vt100 is a bad idea, try TERM=ascii
ctrl-t should be made meaningful for doing a backspace
ctrl-s for HOME, and it might be proudent instead of doing ctrl+(s+128) for CLR, to use it as END (It would be on the same key.
ctrl-(t+128) should be mapped to INSERT.
F1 and F7 is often mapped to PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN in Commodore applications.
We need a proper escape, recommending F3... actually... why am I not just building this...

Am impressed. There was an STM32F4 port a few years ago: https://hackaday.com/2014/10/23/a-complete-c64-system-emulated-on-an-stm32/ I've been curious of a port to the Ambiq Apollo3 (Cortex M4 w/384K), which runs at 48mhz, fast enough to emulate C64/GEOS https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15443, and could be solar powered as a typewriter/IRC/voip client: https://hackaday.io/project/177716-the-open-source-autarkic-motherboard
