FatdogArm [CLOSED]
Nice to confirm, now looking into text to speech software that would run on 32bit, 64bit and ARM. That would make the mele1000A the lowest cost entry to provide speech for extremely disabled and a way to get online. That the remote acts like a keyboard solves the remote oneClick idea for people with Cerebral palsy, cords like the oneSwitch uses causes entanglement issues.
Also My Mele1000A runs off of 5v 2A iPhone rechargeable charger, how did you get yours 'battery powered?'

More teasers. All screenshot taken from Mele connected to HDMI TV.
Of course, this post is posted from Seamonkey running in the Mele itself
The tablet that I put as teaser screenshot runs off 4000mAh battery - I didn't test how long it would last.

I think espeak can do that. Its output quality is not the best but decent enough (you can understand 90% of what it says) and its small.Ted Dog wrote:Nice to confirm, now looking into text to speech software that would run on 32bit, 64bit and ARM.
Yup, all you need is app like sven or xbindkeys.That the remote acts like a keyboard solves the remote oneClick idea for people with Cerebral palsy, cords like the oneSwitch uses causes entanglement issues.
I still use the original power supply which is rated 5v 2A too.Also My Mele1000A runs off of 5v 2A iPhone rechargeable charger, how did you get yours 'battery powered?'

I used Aboriginal only to bootstrap the development process - to get the static busybox for initrd and then to get the native compiler going; from then on it's my own toolchain (adapted from LFS 7.1). I used Aboriginal ARMv6 version 1.2.4 for that purpose (the cross-compiler to build the static busybox, and the native compiler to build my own toolchain). See the details in my blog/wiki.Ted Dog wrote:Which version of Aboriginal ARM is used for Mele ?
I haven't tried that, it's on my TODO list because native compiling is oh so slow ... 18 hours to get Seamonkey built But isn't Aboriginal supposed to help you to do that?also did you get distccd working with fatdog?

When you get distccd setup you will be kicking yourself for not doing it earlier.
The last job I worked major linux based software company, all the computers ran distccd as hosts after work hours and rebuilt company's software overnight using the dozens of basic office PCs. Aboriginal linux has one machine setup. But distccd can run compile jobs on many hosts at the same time its only a few hundred K. But requires some tinkering with local netnames and making sure the originating compiler is enabled, as well as the many hosts. There was a distccd liveCD used in the past that made this easy but is out of date.

Ted Dog, you definitely know a lot more than what you let out
Anyway I though Aboriginal is a way to automate distcc installation too? It comes with matching native- and cross-compilers; a root filesystem that is distcc-ready; so all you need is configuration on the host end, either one or many. I have never used Aboriginal in this configuration (yet) so that's as far as I can say. The main problem with Aboriginal is that it's toolchain is dated (gcc 4.2.1) and many newer software (especially ARM) requires gcc 4.4 at least.
cheers!

FatDog ARM on XO-4
Here is a teaser of my own.
Jamesbond's (pre)alpha build of FatDog-ARM running on the XO-4 OLPC laptop (with a modified kernel and initrd).
Needs some work (a lot of) work in the interphase, WiFi, clock, suspend etc, but is a good start.
Thanks jamesbond!

No worries I have now released FatdogArm alpha, see here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 700#721700.
Let's continue the discussion over there as it is now a real distribution and not a teaser anymore
cheers!
