Hi Martin

Does Sim.One on its 64M Ram run firefox? I would like to set it up for my mom for her browsing the Net.

Any other distro that runs on Sim.One? Say Puppy or Angstrom?

regards

Nataraj

Try running firefox on your x86 box: it uses 1.1GB of VM, of which
254M are resident in memory.
No, you need something that fits into tens of KB. "Minimo" browser,
which has now been renamed but is the same thing, is the Firefox
rendering and javascript engines with a minimal-resource-consumption
GUI.
I have that running in 64MB here and it is usable if slow.

Sim.One is included as a supported board in OpenEmbedded.org, which
builds various O.S. distributions including Angstrom.

...but the root filesystem of any armv4-targetted will work, unpacked
onto a USB pendrive or SD card.
The problem is that some binary distros are now targetting armv5 or higher.

Hi

Yeah, i am on Arch linux on x86, and they have only support starting from armv5. Seems armv4 days  are over or what?

You can emulate the armv5 instruction in the kernel

Hi Nataraj

if you enjoy Arch maybe you can give a try to OpenWRT

Martin, did you also test e17 on Sim.One ?

Hi Martin

DId ya try emulation on Sim.one? Wanna put that thingy to good use somehow. 

Not in this thread, but need to know how to add an S-Video output module  to Sim.one design. Possible? Openpandora does that. But that one is Cortex A8 from TI. 

May i have some inputs?

regards
