Hello Jessica!

Welcome to the Forums.
It's always good to hear about news about epaper displays. Your ODM kit looks good, can you give us more info about it?

I'll move this to the "Others" section for the time being since it's nit Hanlin related.

Interesting thing on their website here.

"Experienced in TFT LCD and E-Paper Panel
- In 2005, we have acquired the e-Paper department of Philips Corp and its related patents ranging from E-paper panel manufacturing to technology know-how in E-ink’s technologies. Currently, we are the sole manufacturer of E-ink technologies’ panel."

I didnt know that Phillips had sold it off.

Yup, I posted about it here (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6554).

The development kit includes:

● Linux 2.4.18 OS ported on Samsung S3C2410

2.4.18 (or .19 or near, I already forgot)is the one of Sony Librie. It could imply that the framebuffer driver has not been upgraded to the 2.6 kernel family. Or just laziness.

● Nano-X window API ported on Linux OS

I do not believe it.

Dear all~

Regarding to PVI's development kit , please kindly see the Spec and details as the attachment.

Any quesiton and feel free to contact us.

Best Regards
Jessica

Sorry jessica, I showed scepticisms because I understood you were claiming a port of Xwindows. I understand that what you have currently ported is the library of the nanoX project,

http://www.microwindows.org/

I would like to hear more details about the port. Some versions of NanoX are even compatible with Xwindows binaries. Do you have some examples and/or pictures to show?

Hello, Arivero:

According to your question , we didn't port Xwindow.
We were not claiming a port of Xwindows.
But we have already ported Nano-X library on our platform.

If you have any question , please let me know.

Jessica

Hello Jessica,

I went to take a peek at the webpage that I assume describes your product in more detail (http://www.pvi.com.tw/ppt/PVI%20development%20kit-4.htm), but instead I got an error message that said something about Internet Explorer. When I followed the included link, I did get more information, but now I am not certain if I am missing something.

It would probably help if the error pages for your English site were also in English. It's pretty hard for somebody who doesn't speak Chinese to guess what went wrong. Let me know if you want a screen shot.

You need to run it in IE ... at least that's how I got it running. Jessica, you may want to use standard html pages instead of a powerpoint slide that needs IE to display. :)
