What should we work on first when the SDK is out?
Assuming that iRex will release the SDK soon (and comply to GPL rules), and that we'll be able to write our own tools or even program our own OS, what do you guys think should we work on first?
I was thinking we could for instance port other open-source readers to iLiad. <<< thinking of Plucker here! |

How about creating a special iLiad linux distro ?
I know of an developer environment that can help in creating a special iLiad linux distribution. This environment is called T2 ( http://www.t2-project.org/ ).
T2 already support the Arm architecture. So it will only be a matter of creating a so called iLiad target. I only wonder how a created distro can be installed on the device. The best thing would be if the iLiad can boot from CF. This would make playing around with it a lot more "brick safe". my 2 cents |

And about installing, i think or better hope iRex uses something similar to Routers or other embedded devices where you can flash through a tftp-server in the bootloader or over a serial interface. Last edited by b_k; 08-06-2006 at 12:24 PM. |

(at least that's how the SIMPads loader works, but it seems very common most home routers do it the same way. You can update the OS and the loader separately, but i had always some fear when i was flashing the loader. Cause if you kill the loader, then the device is indeed bricked.) But in case you would have to flash everything at once, including the loader, your option with CF-booting is for sure the better and less headaching way. |

I am no CODE Guru. I suggest a good email client, a robust ABIWORD and GNUMERIC and good readers.
