Well it could be done, but it is going to be some work. You'd have to build a Python interpreter for the Axis There is a sample makefile with some instructions here http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02233.html Before doing that you probably want to go through the acme sites instructions on setting up the Phrozen SDK and then try building the helloworld app just to get a feel for how the SDK works (and prove it is in fact working) But then uncompressed the vodafone python drivers are way to big to fit on the fox board's flash (assuming you have a LX832)...as is the whole of python unless you fancy picking at it to find out what bits you need. Normally I would say put python and the vodafone drivers on a USB stick and run them from that, but I see some hard coded file paths in that vodafone python so I am not sure that would work. What mobile access card do you have ? For at least one of the vodafone USB ones I have seen a much smaller linux driver written in C somewhere.
