FreeBSD, QNX, ... . As long as you find source code that works on a BeagleBoard (XM) it appears to be a not that difficult task to adjust and add drivers for peripherals not supported by the BeagleBoard (mainly display, touch, i2c based sensors, audio).

The list of sensors of the GTA04 is included in the manual: http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/page/Manual/ There will be an update for the GTA04A5 board (some sensors and i2c addresses have changed). Note that the GTA04 has no specific antenna monitors. It relies on sensing total power consumption which is quite inaccurate... > > Are all integrated HW sensors deployed with same kind > of controlling MC? > > > Exists a listing about ioctl(2) primitives which are accepted > by WH sensors controlling MC? On Linux sensors are more and more controlled by the iio framework which allows to either read them (inefficiently) as text files through /sys (usually /sys/class/iio). Or by opening a file that presents a stream of iio data records. Hope that this helps a little, even if it is less than 50% answered :) BR, Nikolaus _______________________________________________ Community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/community http://www.tinkerphones.org
