Learning is always good :)
So, some basics: Mer is only the core, that is * we don't contain any hardware specific things, such as the Linux kernel * we intentionally split into Core, hardware adaptation and UI (hardware adaptation contains kernel). * There won't be a "Mer IVI", but there might be people who do something based -on- Mer that is suitable for IVI. This means that if you have a sufficiently modern kernel, 2.6.32 or higher, with the correct kernel settings, you can boot Mer Core on your device very likely. It's just a Linux system to boot :) For device drivers, which is your area, this would be your own kernel modifications and perhaps plugins to things within the Mer Core that enables the use of the hardware you have on your board. S3C6410 should be able to boot Mer ARMv6, MX51 can boot ARMv7 softfp and hardfp. BR Carsten Munk > > BR > Walle
