Hi Duncan - welcome to the Moblin list!
Thanks!
I don't have answers to all of your questions but I will answer those I
can.
Thanks, Derek! Your answers were exactly what I needed to know.. =0)
- Can I get APIs (*.h/lib), not just for GL, but phone/SIM/texting,
camera, GPS?
Many of these APIs are currently outside the scope of the Moblin
definition. RedFlag probably has their own APIs for accessing these
functions so I recommend you touch base with them. Since these APIs are
not part of the Moblin definition, it is likely that use of them will
not be portable to other devices that are running Midinux.
It seems odd for camera and GPS to be outside of Moblin/Midinux!? I can
understand the phone-related stuff, since MIDs are not seen primarily as
phones, but camera should be just like a webcam, no? And GPS should be
just a /dev/gps or something that you can query for a couple of numbers
(excuse my naivity if it's more complicated than that!!) Both are
things every MID should have, I'd imagine.
I don't get the impression that RedFlag (or the device mfrs,
Gigabyte/Aigo/etc) are as accessible as they could be to help people
like me... =0(
Anyway, thanks again for your quick and comprehensive reply!
Duncan
