[e-users] EVAS for embedded 2D graphics

2004-03-09 Thread Ant Allen

Hi all,

I'm interested in using Evas for my embedded application.  I run on an XScale 
platform, Linux 2.4 kernel.  The features of Evas seem perfect for what I 
need, but before I go further, can anyone advise on the following:

- How easy will it be to cross-compile evas for my xscale / arm cpu?
- Are there any special compilation options which I should be aware of?
- Does Evas have to run on top of X or can I compile it for direct frame 
buffer usage?  If so, how?
- From where should I download a suitable version of Evas?  I'm not familiar 
with CVS but I believe I'll have to become so!??

And finally, is anyone out there already already running Evas in their 
embedded arm application?  If so I'd love to hear from you.

thanks
Ant

(B need, but before I go further, can anyone advise on the following:
(B 
(B - How easy will it be to cross-compile evas for my xscale / arm cpu?
(B
(Btrivial. i in-fact compiled, evas, ecore and edje (cross-compiled) yesterday,
(Busing the skiff cross-compile suite you can download from handhelds.org. i
(Bcross-compiled for ARM.
(B
(B - Are there any special compilation options which I should be aware of?
(B
(Bhave u spotted the make_cross_compile_arm.sh scripts in cvs? :):):) heheheh
(B
(B - Does Evas have to run on top of X or can I compile it for direct frame 
(B buffer usage?  If so, how?
(B
(Bi use it for fb - i use a combo of evas, ecore to get events, fb handling,
(Bkeyboard and mouse. warning the mouse drivers in ecore_fb are very limited so it
(Bmay require you to add more support for a particular touchscreen device of yours
(Bor pointer device, if you have one. you can also run it in x - but you will get
(Babout a 20% speed hit as a result :(
(B
(B - From where should I download a suitable version of Evas?  I'm not familiar 
(B with CVS but I believe I'll have to become so!??
(B
(Bi suggest cvs - its always up to date - though it changes often. if you have
(Bproblems and we fix it - the fixes will go right into cvs so its the fastest
(Bplace to get updates - we might do a snapshot release
(B
(B And finally, is anyone out there already already running Evas in their 
(B embedded arm application?  If so I'd love to hear from you.
(B
(Bme! :)

(Byou will need from cvs:

(Be17/libs/eet
(Be17/libs/evas
(Be17/libs/ecore
(Be17/libs/edje
(B
(Bi have it running on my ipaq sitting right next to me. return opens the menu,
(Barrow keys to navigate. return selects a menu item/submenu. settings-wallpaper
(Bis all that works right now. this is more of a demo...
