How it is the GP2X Linux development? Anyone contacted with the guys developing on it?
Here are a list of some interesting projects about embedded systems (thanks Ravnos for a few ones), it could be very interesting if the GP2X Linux developers know it (anyone sending an email to them, for example...):
- OpenWRT: Linux for wireless routers, loading in 2 secons aprox. with a lot of internet services.
- LinuxBIOS: Linux on BIOS computers, doing a lot faster linux loading.
- InitNG: A full replacement of the old and in many ways deprecated sysvinit tool, It is designed with speed in mind because it does as much as possible asynchronously. In other words: It will boot your unix-system much faster, and give you more control and statistics over your system.
- OpenZaurus: Linux for Zaurus PDAs, they are working in 2.6 for it. I think Zaurus stuff will be very useful for GP2X.
- uClinux: Linux for embedded systems, including microcontrollers and other systems without MMU.
- Lynuxworks ARM Linux: Website about one of a lot companies using embedded Linux on ARM9 systems, specially network stuff.
- comp.os.linux.embedded: Newgroup (usenet) about Linux for embedded systems.
- ARM Linux: Official page about Linux for ARM processors family.
- Linu
evices.com: News page about Linux for embedded systems (PDAs, routers,smarthphones, TabletPC, GPS, PLC, etc...). They mentioned GP2X when the early stage of development (still saying about 32MB ram), it could be very interesting if they analize a final GP2X.
- BusyBox: BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system and has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
- uCdot: Slashdot-like page about embedded Linux systems.
- Scratchbox: A cross-compilation toolkit designed to make embedded Linux application development easier. It also provides a full set of tools to integrate and cross-compile an entire Linux distribution. cratchbox is used by Maemo development platform (Nokia 770).
- Handhelds.org: Page about open-source OSes on handhelds.
Personally, I think other stuff like using the 7zip SDK (multiplatform and with free and commercial licenses available) could help a lot the more space available on the NAND.
