Re: Rockbox on gta02?
interesting idea... don't know about the feasability or the end-result (we still don't have a FPU) hope someone will try it :) On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 3:42 PM, Crane, Matthew mcran...@harris.com wrote: Anybody given this some thought? Obviously it would make it just a mp3 player, but a polished and feature rich one at least. You'd think you could boot a simple image off the sd card with u-boot or qi, porting it to gta02 would be no where near as difficult as something like an ipod. http://www.rockbox.org/ Matt ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Rockbox on gta02?
Some time ago, I saw a project to build Rockbox as an application. Any news about that ? I think it's far better as it allow you to use other functionalities while playing music. For both case, I think touchscreen can be a problem. I've never seen a touchscreen interface to Rockbox. (But maybe there is a hidden one) Anyway, porting can be a goo programming challenge and a way to tell to the world : look how open hardware and software are good. There is tons of OS which can run on my phone -- Vincent MEURISSE ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
RE: Rockbox on gta02?
Yea, it would be nice to run as an app with a usable phone distro, but I doubt there's anywhere near the hw resources to do that nicely. Responsivness is a big limitation of gta02 most of the time just as a phone. The delay from action to sound must be on the order of 500-1000ms, and that's affected by other apps already running.
