HI This is just a small info I think it might be useful
Sometimes it's not practical to develop everything on the physical hardware and there some emulator really gets handy.. Check out some interesting demo, download 2MB and see emulated arm do accelerated framebuffer graphics (this is impressive): http://free-electrons.com/community/demos/qemu-arm-directfb/ And here is complete step-by-step how to install debian-arm on PC under qemu emulation (I've tried this, and it works). You can use it for my debian for tomtom as well just take adequate kernel that works for qemu (yes it can be later than 2.6.13) http://www.aurel32.net/info/debian_arm_qemu.php Now as we have emulator probably running tomtom original application would be possible as well. Someone already did it on zaurus http://www.zaurus.org.uk/opentom/index.html If he did it on zaurus, it could be emulated with qemu too. Maybe some more info is needed what did he do to make it work. I've tried kernel that works on debian and initrd from original ttsystem. Kernel boots and starts initial rc file and even it attempts to start ttn application but complains that the devices are missing (no GPS hardware :) and some directories in /proc/barcelona are missing ok, emulating is not so straightforward but should not be too difficult either. All this hardware can be provided from host system and given to qemu like some serial ports... Best regards, Davor
