why DGOS?

I get it. people have moved on form palm devices and nobody cares. why go on? mostly because i want to, but also because palm hardware is quite capable still. i have a friend help me on some stuff now, to make things a bit faster. does anyone care still?

Android?

While playing around with Linux I accidentally made Android work on Palms. Is this of value to anyone?



UPDATE: "first success"

not dead

i promise this isn't dead. i still work on this. font rendering is still a huge pain in the ass! :)

where i've been

WHY haven't I updated the blog?
I've been working hard on this: http://www.kno.com

lack of time

working in a startup, i have very little time lately, sadly.

still working on this once in a while though...

Meh

My messing around with FAT code broke fat12...fixing it

FAT

did some optimizations on fat code. it is much faster now :)
also it's been converted into a proper module instead of the weird half-module state it's been in

UI 2

Who knew photoshopping many small images could be so time consuming. I created the 45 images today that make up all the images needed for buttons (button is 9 images, and there are 5 states: on off disabled, focused, focused&on)

Anyone want to take over the graphic design?

UI :)

Just a small photo before i go to bed. I finally got around to drawing up the UI images so now a simple form can render :)




Note the subtle shadow. The ui is composed of PNG images with alpha blending. This means that ALL of the UI can be semi-transparent and have pretty shadows.

The final compositing is done by GfxLib's GfxLibLayer class.

Much much more UI shots soon... (as soon as I draw the other UI elements)

Freetype

...is a pain in the rear...

fonts

porting FreeType...

T|E2 NAND chip & general project status

TE|2's NAND chip was connected in a rather weird way, but I made it work. TX's partition manager reads its partitions just fine too :)


I've been posting less statuses since I've been somewhat occupied with someone :) and thus have less time to code.

Also, expect to see a little UI demo soon

PXA270 USB

I wish nothing but pain on the designers and implementers of the PXA270 USB gadget module. This thing has more bugs than features!

TX USB

TX USB is showing signs of life. Mass storage, here we come

join?

anyone want to help develop DGOS? ;-)

TxFFS driver

The driver is done, and I am not quite sure why it isn't exactly working, but I feel I am close. The format my driver produces looks very much like TX's format, but not quite.
