Midstall

We've dropped the "Software" in our name because we're doing more than just software. Note that Twitter will have the "SW" part in our username until Twitter decides to give us that option. Stay tuned for some big updates soon.

Designing hardware is difficult and complex. Tools such as Nix & ROHD are allowing us to develop new ASICs at a rapid pace. This wasn't possible 5 years ago, but it is now. We've committed to designing all of our ASICs in Dart to streamline the development and prod process.

We've given our website a bit of a facelift. Our services have expanded to include Board Support Package (BSP) packaging & device porting. With this, companies can have a reliable method for building firmware & OS's for their hardware.

We've joined LinkedIn, be sure to follow us there. linkedin.com/company/midsta…

If you're at a company or know of a company struggling with SDKs, build systems, toolchains, packaging, or CI/CD then please reach out. We'd love to chat and hear how we can help you. You can reach out at inquire@midstall.com.

Important announcement regarding the future of Midstall Software. blog.midstall.com/posts/2025-q3-…

Big things are happening, we're working on restructuring and adjusting our priorities so we can continue to develop a diverse open source ecosystem. Be sure to follow us as we provide more details.

We have restored the GitLab server. Normal operations are returning soon.

We identified the exact cause of the crash with GitLab. Importing our u-boot fork caused the system to run out of resources and die. We're working to recover the server and redeploy it. However, it appears @wasabi_cloud is having a problem which is preventing us from finishing.

We have come up with a solution to our GitLab server being down. We're actively performing this fix. If any data is lost, we hope we can recover it. More updates coming soon.

Our GitLab instance is experiencing a problem which is preventing access to the website. We hope this problem will resolve itself. However, we will fix this once we are able to gain access. More updates likely to come.

We've started development on a #zig library which implements #OOP like programming. gitlab.midstall.com/common/objz

We have applied to the GitHub Acceleration Program in hopes that this will boost ExpidusOS development.

Packaging Python is much more complicated than it initially seems but that will not deter us. We plan on opening a PR to add some changes which would improve the packaging experience.

Today we got pcre2's zig build script improvements merged in. This is great as it allows for us and many others to easily cross compile the library for different code word sizes, targets, and linking methods. Currently, we're working on packaging Python 3.12.2 in Zig.

We're currently looking into moving some of many core Linux packages away from the old autotools to Zig. This will make cross compiling simpler and decrease the dependency count to be able to build them.

It is called Phantom UI and requires no extra runtimes or engines. It's modular and can be compiler statically to ensure compatibility. We've gotten it to display Bad Apple on UEFI.

This year, we're looking to contribute various improvements for Zig to get Linux on RISC-V tier 1 support. @RossComputerGuy, founder and CEO of Midstall, will be spearheading these improvements. We're also developing our own UI framework to compete with #Flutter.

We just got our first financial contributor on OpenCollective, thank you Stian Emil Tvedt for donating $5!
