Hi, my name is Duncan Cragg. I just signed up to the list.
_________________________
Here in the UK, I see the Gigabyte M528 is out on the 17th October:
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=165783
I would like to develop an OpenGL|ES 2.0 application for this device.
However, there seems to be a lot of confusing information about my
chances... =0/
_________________________
I'd be grateful if someone would be kind enough to answer the following
questions:
- Is the M528 the same as the Compal Jax10 and/or the Aigo P88XX?
- Does it run Midinux?
- Do I have to reinstall Moblin to do anything? Or is it already Moblin?
- Does it run Clutter?
- I don't require it to use Moblin or Clutter - but can I do 3D on Midinux?
- Is Midinux a Moblin distro? It's referred to as 'Moblin core' in
various places
- This is Menlow, not McCaslin, right? MIC docs suggest McCaslin for Jax10*
- Does the chipset come with a fully wired-in PowerVR/SGX535?
- Are there OpenGL|ES 2.0 drivers for the PowerVR/SGX535?
- Can I get APIs (*.h/lib), not just for GL, but phone/SIM/texting,
camera, GPS?
- How do you publish your applications for users to download?
- Is there an application signing process to go through?

Sorry if this sounds naive - I'm new to this device/chipset/distro (but
not to Linux).

I spotted this rather sad recent post from Alexander Lopatin of Intel:
RE: Compal JAX10 MIC images don't work?
http://v1.moblin.org/pipermail/dev/2008-August/002516.html
Which suggests that all the drivers are closed or unavailable, or just
don't work:
Touch screen, Wifi, 3D, cameras, 3G, GPS, sound, brightness
The implication is that this is Moblin, not Midinux? Is there any
progress since?

London-based, and
would very much like to meet up for more in-depth techie chat! =0)
