TI Sitara Linux SDK has fed me some hope. I am currently running this image from http://software-dl.ti.com/sitara_linux/esd/AM335xSDK/latest/index_FDS.html and the sample videos play super smooth. This is a custom distribution and boots up to an android like app launcher - which is nothing but a small browser application build with QTWebKit and displaying the GUI on the framebuffer. The good thing is that all the libraries are compiled with neon optimisation and the sgx drives come in built. There's no X though and all the sample application directly use the Framebuffer.
It's not all smooth sailing though: * Only the shipped sample videos play. None of my mpeg4 / h.264 videos play * So far I have found that this webkit based browser doesn't support video and websockets Note to others who might be interested in trying this image: * The image doesn't load the ethernet usb gadget module by default - if network access via usb is required then connect to ethernet and edit the init scripts to load the g_ether gadget driver instead of the g_mass_stoarge and set a static ip. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
