Hardware adaptation of MeeGo to the Beagleboard and Pandaboard platforms.

We're building an open source Android based Tablet E-Reader hybrid using the Pixel Qi adaptive screen with a 3M capacitive touch layer.

RISC OS is a computer operating system designed in Cambridge, England by Acorn. First released in 1987, its origins can be traced back to the original team that developed the ARM microprocessor. RISC OS is owned by Castle Technology Ltd.

An amount of developer funding may be available for aspects of this project.

• RISC OS has been ported to OMAP3 processors and currently runs on the BeagleBoard and related hardware.
• Looking to the future, RISC OS will be capable of running on OMAP4 processors, available in products such as the PandaBoard. Achieving this is currently conceived as being a twofold process:
  • Single-core implementation; and
  • Multi-core utilisation and preemptive multitasking.
• Relevant discussions can be followed on the RISC OS Open forum:
  • Thinking ahead: Supporting multicore CPUs
  • PandaBoard
  • Comments on Roadmap

XBMC is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. XBMC is available for Linux, OSX, Windows, and the original Xbox. Created in 2003 by a group of like minded programmers, XBMC is a non-profit project run and developed by volunteers located around the world. More than 50 software developers have contributed to XBMC, and 100-plus translators have worked to expand its reach, making it available in more than 30 languages.

While XBMC functions very well as a standard media player application for your computer, it has been designed to be the perfect companion for your HTPC. Supporting an almost endless range of remote controls, and combined with its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine, XBMC feels very natural to use from the couch and is the ideal solution for your home theater.

Currently XBMC can be used to play almost all popular audio and video formats around. It was designed for network playback, so you can stream your multimedia from anywhere in the house or directly from the internet using practically any protocol available. Use your media as-is: XBMC can play CDs and DVDs directly from the disk or image file, almost all popular archive formats from your hard drive, and even files inside ZIP and RAR archives. It will even scan all of your media and automatically create a personalized library complete with box covers, descriptions, and fanart. There are playlist and slideshow functions, a weather forecast feature and many audio visualizations. Once installed, your computer will become a fully functional multimedia jukebox.

Description:

PANDA uses wl1271 chipset for connectivity (WIFi / BT), also wl1271 can be used for sniffing wireless packets.
My project aims at porting Ethereal (an open source tool for sniffing packets) to PANDA and using it as a wireless sniffer with the help of wl1271.

Project/URL: Not exist

Expected results:
Ethereal application will be used for sniffing wireless packets on PANDA boards using wl1271 chipset.

Background & work by projects submitter/s:

I have 3yrs of experience on WLAN including one year on OMAP3,OMAP4 and PANDA boards. Working experience of one year on wl1271 chipset.

Gentoo Linux is one of the Linux distributions that currently support ARM. It was first supported in 2003 and development hasn't stopped since. With so many ARM devices being released to the market recently, we like to support it in our distribution.

The project will focus on providing documentation for installing Gentoo Linux and prepare, build and provide everything needed for getting it working.

PandaBoard Support for MeeGo environment

GeeXboX is a free and Open Source Media-Center purposed Linux distribution for embedded devices and desktop computers. The GeeXboX distribution is lightweight and designed for one single goal: embed all major multimedia applications as to turn your PandaBoard into an HTPC. The GeeXboX project relies on OpenBricks framework and make use of accelerated hardware audio/video decoding through OpenMAX and GFX acceleration through OpenGL|ES and OpenVG.

OpenBricks is an enterprise-grade embedded Linux framework that provides easy creation of custom distributions for industrial embedded devices. It features a complete embedded development kit for rapid deployment on x86, ARM, PowerPC and MIPS systems, including OMAP4 / PandaBoard. Pick your software bricks and cook your own customized product !

Welcome to Pandroid.... This project is PandaBoard's community port of Android. All multi-media codecs, GFX support, and WLAN will be provided for this project. We welcome community engagement and look forward to seeing you in the chat lines. Come and help us get this up and going...
