I have a similar work to do here: a Pentium Tillamook based PC with
flashdisk, TFT, touchscreen and wireless LAN in a case to be installed in
vehicles. Now we are running NTEmbedded with does the job very nice. But for
only html-pdf-viewing we want to use Linux instead, first because it is
cheaper and second because I'm the Linux guru here and I want to set a
'Linux-statement' (but I'm definitely no Linux-supercrack).
I made a nice composition with LEM that worked well. But it lacked in some
ways like old kernels (USB!), old X11 (no font antialiasing, very few fonts,
no embedded-suited fs (I want JFFS2 or at least a fully ram-based rootfs to
avoid data corruption when just cutting power). But it seems that LEM is
dead. No new developement, no mails in the mailing lists any more. What a
pitty since LEM seemed to be what I searched for!
Then I hang around with midori from transmeta. Ideal to click your own
system. But I had compiling errors because I didn't had exactly the
necessary surrounding to make the system (RH 6.2 or RH7 with midori beta3).
Unfortunatly Transmeta says good bye to midori: they don't want to maintain
the developement any more. They gave the sources to sourceforge but the
activity in the mailing lists decreases rapidly.
So I think about doing it from the scratch but I fear I've got no time for
that.
At last, I'm also waiting for a good and free embedded distri that helps me
to use all those nice features linux offers...
