Ideas of various applications that be made for neofreerunner. First a little bit about me, so you don't start abusing me....
I'm a newbie to linux and an electronics engineer not a programmer, though have worked on non-os embedded systems. *Mini Joystick* 1) I wish to make a small portable mini joystick for the phone, and a stand so it can be used as a gaming device. (Play mario and contra) Port SDL and the games along with it. *Rockbox* 2) Port Rockbox a an application/seperate boot os (like hp quickplay) *Bluetooth console* 3) Use Bluetooth on the device, connect it to the PC via a serial port and use it as the console. *Vanilla OS* 4) Install a custom linux with bare minimum things to boot up, answer calls and msgs, keep it as an alternative battery saving os! (Vanilla Os). maybe even no GUI. *USB to TV * 5) This one is a little to far fetched an Idea but maybe it is possible. Make a program to stream decoded video to usb , and a external small portable usb device to convert it to rf or component video to be seen over tv clearly. *Accelerometer based Joystick* 6) Make a software which reads the accelerometer's and sends the data to the pc, maybe map 4-5 keys on the screen. Use a standard joystick HID!! * Eyes for Robot* 7) Use a webcam and a base robot , to guide through obstacles. (just for fun) *Serial port / Programmer * 8) Use it to program via serial port AVR , pic and other 8 bit micro-controllers. Also use it as serial terminal port through Ft2322 for micro-controllers . *JTAG * 9) Use usb port through ft2322 for JTAG debugging on other arm/embedded boards. *Wishlist * *PSP *1) Make a software which uses wifi to connect to the PS3 and emulate a psp. (Maybe it is already there) Car Computer 2) Monitor car computer via openmoko, tweak it. *Assembly OS * 3) Write the fastest OS using assembly, let the executable size be 5 Mb with all apps!! (This one is Stupid I know, but just sometimes you have a hitch maybe this is the fastest) *Assembly Vanilla Os * 4) Maybe my previous point can be used for making the low power os (vanilla)!!! *Phone to Phone USB * 5) Freerunner to Freerunner direct connectivity through USB. (Applications are limit less) Phone to phone charging, file sharing, co-processing, Application interface, Gaming, etc. While saving a lot of Power, other than charging of course!! *Emulate Symbian OS 9.3 * 6) Emulate Symbian Os so we can use all their apps!! I know it would be Evil but why not?? I really like some of their apps.... Silicon Cell Body 7) Replace external plastic case with silicon cell for solar energy harnessing!!
