Re: Interesting new 'Open' Hardware how do I build shr for it?
В Пнд, 29/11/2010 в 01:24 -0800, c_c пишет: Hi, I was looking at arowboat.org - which is a project at getting Android working on all TI OMAP series boards and I saw a link to opensourcemid.org. Apparently, Embest (who also make the DevKit 8000 - a beagle board like board) have made a 7 MID with GPS, camera, mini PCIe (they have a WCDMA module), WiFi and bluetooth running on OMAP 3530. I ordered a device and I find that :- 1. It's built quite well 2. It's responsive and fast (running android 2.1 as of now) 3. The hardware schematics are available online 4. The source code for kernel 2.6.29, x-loader and u-boot are also available online 5. It has a lot of space between the board and the casing - I'm thinking mods like the Freerunner Navigation board 6. The company seems responsive enough I'm now looking at getting a custom kernel (something newer) running on it. Also, I was aondering how do I get SHR ported onto such a device? I have the entire openembedded based SHR build system (something I've been using to build stuff for the FreeRunner) with me - but I'm not sure how to go about changing the target system. Hi, c_c! Thank you for link. Specifications ( http://www.armkits.com/product/k7.asp ) are not really promising fast speeds: it is only 600Mhz cpu, and 'up to' 256 Mb sdram volume is not really good for long term usage. Nothing told about graphic card, so i guess CPU managing LCD, that should eat cpu resources too. So, only caches size, memory type (unspecified) are different from FR. According to same page critical parts are missing from android like power management, bluetooth, usb device support, and mic(!) and device is mostly oriented to WinCE (notice also .asp in web address), this sounds too bad for anyone who want open device, or hackable device with linux on board at all.
