I previously mentioned PDOS on ARM.

That has now turned into an Android app available from the Google Play
Store.
See https://pdos.org and find the last (3rd) occurrence of Google Play
Store.
This actually gives you a mini-clone of Windows 11 for ARM 32-bit. Just
like PDOS/386 it uses msvcrt.dll.

This means you can write C programs on an Android smartphone and
compile them and it's all native ARM and fast, unlike running under
Bochs for Android. And those C programs work on Windows too
(usually - there is an issue with 64-bit parameters like doubles being
passed to msvcrt.dll - gcc 3.2.3 isn't aligning them properly).

Oh - and there is an app availalbe to sign your own APKs so that
you can replace the C code in PdAndro too. So in short, you can
go into a remote area with just solar energy (a portable 40W solar
for US$70 should be good enough) and continue programming
with an external USB keyboard for US$3.

BFN. Paul.
