I didn't end up using squashfs, only the regular ISO, would a reasonable overhead be in the range of 350Kb? sounds excessive...

In the meantime, here's the PND I did create, it's still too big, but is much smaller than before. I've added a PNG icon so that should be working now, and I've changed the default display mode to full screen. Please let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Hello again, Finally back home, finished converting the program to use a PNG splash screen (was really only a matter of reading a bit about SDL_image). Anyway, when I use the pnd_make.sh script to make the PND out of the executable and image, I get a weird result, the size of the folder i am...

interesting input, i used the pnd generating script to make the pnd.↲i'm still out of home till thursday, i'll look at your template when i get home.↲the png only icons are a documented feature? I haven't seen that anywhere.↲thanks for the help.

thanks for testing it out man! I appreciate the tips, however i wont be home till the weekend so it'll have to wait.↲sorry for the huge download,i should have thought about zip.

OK, here's my first attempt at a PND. Please go easy on me... I know it's huge (1.5Mb for a simple 75Kb executable) but I'll make it smaller when it works, promise! Please test it out (no Pandora yet), let me know if it works and if the opening image and icon appears. PFractals.pnd Thanks!

Oh, one comment, the link in the script was bad, I manually downloaded the SDK and just placed in in the ./tmp folder from where the script was, it looks for it before downloading and if it finds it, uses the local copy. Sorry for neglecting that... ;)

No need to apologize my dear, you went pretty easy on him compared to what I had in mind... ;) Probably did him a favor.. Seriously, why do you bother reading these forums if you think this product is of no interest to anyone? Masochism?

Just installed it last night (using the toolchain.sh and pnd_libs.sh), I am using the latest Ubuntu in the 64bit flavor. It started off badly with the arm compiler returning with a "file not found" error every time I ran it, after reading up on the subject all over the net, I found someone...

Great! Thanks for testing it out for me. Now I just need to clear it up a bit, package it in a PND and then the next big update will have to wait till I have a Pandora so that I can finish the key mapping so that it is easier to use (use the Dpad and L/R buttons makes more sense for many of the...

Hello again! Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but it made more sense than opening a new one. I finally got my (wish I could say Pandora here) cross compiler working! Here's a first ever ARM build of my program. The tar.gz contains two files, the binary and an opening screen (sorry for...

I think the date next to an application in the list of applications should be the last updated date and not the first one. Would make it much easier to see if you had the latest or not without going into the application description.

My thoughts exactly, I imagine Craig takes it as a compliment, but that last segment made me think of Clive instantly...

Wait, wasn't marketing Craig's job? :) Great intro vid ED, and about the name to use, I think this product is geek enough for anyone even remotely interested to prefer the forum name... :)

Just to re-iterate what many have said, Android will be a nice gimmick, heck, it's already been run on Pandora (saw a YouTube video somewhere). But the main OS, to me, has to stay Linux. Be it Angstrom or Ubuntu, I would rather have control over my Pandora plus I think it'll make it "just...

Thanks for the link Tempel, but I still say it's better than a USB dongle, the SD sockets are on the front, it allows you to place your Pandora on a dashboard for example, which would not be possible with a USB GPS plugged in to the back. But I guess I'll just end up using my Holux Bluetooth GPS...

SDIO GPS actually makes a lot of sense... It's much better than lugging around a Bluetooth or USB GPS module which is a second box you have to take with you... An SDIO GPS would have the form factor of an SD card, with an antenna at most. Thanks for the idea Com64!

I'm with Mali on this one... I have to admit I've sinned in white knighting myself, but he's right, as is Exophase, but only to a point. I think white knighting has the same right to exist as does the ranting, without balance there would only be chaos! ... ... oh wait, I'm for that...

Geez, it was an OFFICIAL blog, what do you want more? a private email from Craig explaining the situation sent to each and every pre-orderer? Sorry, been seeing too many "What's going on!!!" threads today...
