People complain about *only* having 256MB (128MB in the A model) but that is way more than is needed for SqueakNOS and, I imagine, Frank. Certainly the boot time for SqueakNOS would be a second or less on this hardware, which should impress a few people when compared to the various Linux on the same board. Fortunately, some information needed to port an OS to the Raspberry Pi was released yesterday: > http://dmkenr5gtnd8f.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf The GPU stuff is still secret but I don't think the current version of Frank would make use of it anyway. -- Jecel _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
