The old one from last year. I wanted to do this since last year but got distracted by many other things.
I was discussing this option with Dr from UofTX as a inexpensive device for OneSwitch (method for computer control for the very disabled) just yesterday. Currently porting the programs to 64bit (can't get keyboard keys lock, wonder if its swen related...) and the speech program espeech has been ported to ARM7.
I have not been following the thread, but it sounds like a good initiative.
And what is this 622 version of fatdog you are using to compile...
That's "Fatdog Next", the next release of Fatdog (we (=me and kirk) eat our own dogfood, run Fatdog on my machine and experience the devastating bugs first hand, and only deliver the sanitised and clean and bug-free versions to the masses ... of course sometimes one or two bugs manage to sneak through, usually the nasty ones
). I posted a note about it recently in the Fatdog64 thread. Mainly new kernel, new seamonkey, a few bug fixes and new sandbox & LXC. At this stage we'll be looking after kernel 3.11 before making another release.
I have both64bit and a Mele1000A setups if you need a 'beta' tester for 'BOTH'
You have 64-bit ARM setup?
he XO-1.75 has an Marvell armada 610 SoC with Marvell Sheeva ARM PJ4 CPU and the XO-4 (touch!) with Marvell PXA2128 SoC with dual PJ4
That's cool. Are they unbrickable? Can they boot from SD Card without having to flash the internal NAND/MMC storage? (like Mele)? If both are yes, any idea how I can get my hands on them?
Supper! Any git or image to play with?
Not yet. Let me rationalise the packages a little bit, perhaps splitting of the toolchains to devx sfs, etc.
Got me thinking, you could solve the need of a keyboard / mouse pad if we could get the Mele remote control to function as the OneSwitch (it software has a onscreen keyboard and mouse 'radar') controlled by a single button.
I haven't tested it yet but according to linux-sunxi.org, Mele's remote is detected as just another "keyboard". So in theory it is possible. But personally, as a not-disabled person, navigating using Mele's keyboard is a very frustating experience - I'd go for keyboard anytime.
I have a CX-01 Android Cloud Stick. I would *LOVE* to put Puppy on it.
Thanks starhawk for the offer. As it happens, I also have CX-01 ... and I love to have puppy there too. Unfortunately at the time being it doesn't seem to be feasible. The main problem is that it can't boot off external media, which means if you want to install Puppy you have to wipe-off the Android. Secondly, to actually do that, you need to use a Windows program ....
The last information I can find is here:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php? ... y-Tatubias and all they got as far is to "upgrade" the Android there.
cheers
