Very good point, in order to stand a chance of selling any units there is a need to generate some 'buzz' earlier then the big boys I guess, when things go wrong as they always do its a devil of a balancing job trying to keep things up together. To say its walking a tightrope would be a huge...

Just to confirm. It is a resistive touch screen nicely abstracted behind TSLib with TSLib doing filtering and some other cool stuff and outputting as a /dev/input/event* device. You can of course bang the hardware if you must but there is little or no point ;). "Gestures" are just a matter of...

The fact of the matter is simple. There is an ARM Cortex-A8 CPU core in there and a separate TI DSP CPU that can be used. This is in no way an SMP type of system but you do have 2 CPU's (and a whole lot more) that you can use to accomplish various tasks. Stating it is Dual-CPU is fair but leads...

Whooo there tiger ;). No bashing intended. I stay a long way away from framework wars :) and stick to kernel hacking without a GUI :P. There is no reason NOT to see Qt on the Pandora in fact the more FOSS stuff the better, I used to hack a lot with OPIE back in a previous life so am well aware...

Who said anything is coded from zero? Our current GIT is based off the Linux-OMAP GIT that provides the open source foundation for these chips we are working from (and in turn regularly takes updates from the mainline kernel.org GIT). All we need to take care of is the board specific stuff...

Ok, Squidge is quite correct that a fair amount of this is under NDA so please accept my apologies if I don't provide sufficient information. I also don't want to spend a huge amount of time doing status updates so I am taking some time out to get more of the work into the public view, keep...

Well other then ScummVM, games and EMU's are not my thing, hacking stuff up, apps and kernel are. Make of that what you will :D.

Am I the only one who opened this thread, went WTF!, puzzled a little and then went so what is the f'ing problem with button labels? Even if the buttons have labels like Up, Down, Left, Right or symbols what difference is it going to make? I vote for Greek symbols :D QUOTE This dashes any...

As mentioned before that is not 100% true, our need to static link is what bites us in this regard. The Pollux is not a bad SoC at all, it maybe not in the same league as the OMAP3 but it is a decent ARM9 core none the less and has its friends on the SoC such as the old VRender and the usual...

It exists, its more a case that it is still in flux and a mix of public and private repros while things are still being developed. Not all nicely in one place at the moment. Things like the kernel GIT will be switched public read as soon as things stabilise and patches for things like OE...

Got going in a usable sense = No. Messed with on the OMAP3EVM/Pandora = Yes Love to see some cool stuff done with this = Definitely

DDd, Don't get me wrong, all OMAP3 platforms share a lot of code but once you get down to the device level there is a lot of idiosyncrasies with every board. That's the fun bit (so they tell me ;)). As it stands we are still stuck waiting for TI/Imagination to sort things out on the...

DDd, The Pandora and the Beagle share common OMAP code in as much as they are both OMAP3530 based. There are a large number of differences in the kernels for things such as LCD, audio, SD/MMC and general GPIO to name a few. The view that feature rich kernels are the same for both systems with...

Any chance you could post up the output from GP2Recovery. EDIT: Had I noticed the thread was almost a month old I may have not bumped it ;).

Speed is much of a muchness, the chips clock for clock are the same performance. Think of them as the same layout, different market. Ubuntu ARM is fine and dandy on the 3530 (dog slow as much because of lack of RAM then anything else) but remember your dealing with packages compiled for ARMV6...

Double edged sword that, demos take time to mock up when the focus of the work is on stuff that does not look very funky. Unfortunately there is an absolutely herculean amount of 'dull hacking' at a command prompt that goes into something like this. Maybe I should invest in a webcam one of...

notaz, some rather nice hacking as usual :D.
