Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2004 13:07:10 -0800 Hi, One of the aims of avos is to port linux to the av300/av100/jbmm machines. Then we can port mame, mplayer, mencoder, mozilla, evolution, etc etc On my 'pie in the sky' fantasy about browsing the web on my av300 using a compact flash 802.11b card, I can now read and write compact flash cards, so it shouldn't be that long before I can get it connected :) (Err I'll have to buy a card first though). I have a PDA keyboard working, so first app will prolly be telnet (After I've written the card driver and tcp/ip stack). As well as porting linux though, I want to write a new O/S from scratch which will be highly optimised for maximum performance. I want to squeeze everything out of the hardware I can, so I'm going to work on a new O/S for it. At the moment though, most of the work is reverse engineering the hardware, and building up libraries of routines that people can use to program whatever they want. We released libavos, with which anyone can write games or other apps in c. It has routines to do anything with the screen, and routines to get button input (And a few other routines).
