Well, Finally, I'm on the list to get my Pandora. Accrding to what I'm seeing, I have about 2 months to come up to speed here, but I can't find too much technical stuff, in any concentrated way. What I'm after would be both a hardware and software specification of the Pandora. At the moment, I can't even find out what the Pandora looks like, pverall, in terms of what's in the unit, and what's connected to what. If you know of a spec (and there HAS to be a spec, else they couldn't have gotten it built) then please, let me have a URL.
I'm also looking for the basic info of thje software environment. I need to know what's the spec on the gcc (what's the hardware environment, enough so that I could build me first a cross compiler. My goal is also a native compiler, but I'm honestly hoping that a native gcc exists. As host, I have both a Intel quad core runnning FreeBSD, and a AMD64 running Gentoo Linux, so I'm wafter 2 corsscompilers and o ne native. What with all of the power on that board, it seems to me that no one could make an good argument that a native compiler would be unreasonable. Seeing as I can & will be adding a USB disk to it, size it's important as an argument, either.
I also need to know the environment in the Pandora, OS wise. What's the Linux version? What libc? What glibc version? What are the major system libraries I'll need for a cross-environment, and their version numbers?
I hope I don't sound too greedy here. I've looked around more than a little bit, here, but I can't find this sort of stuff anywhere. It's absolutely required, seeing as the system is put together. The project's supposed to be largely open design, so I hope I don't hit the ordinary commercial shortsightedness in releasing info. I'm terribly curious, I'm going to die of curiosity!
