Tizen IVI Preview on ExoPc

There is a new Tizen IVI snapshot available so I thought I'd run it up on the ExoPC.

Needs a bit of tweaking to get the wlan up so you can update from the ivi base but otherwise runs up ok.

For details about this update seehttps://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/IVI/IVI_Sept_18,_2012_preview_update

Raspberry Pi Mer Hardware Adaptation

I've made some packages for the RaspberryPi to adapt the board to Mer.

Using the information released by the foundation at https://github.com/raspberrypi I've built 3 packages which consist of a kernel package, bootloader and mkimage tool to convert the kernel into a format readable by the bootloader. Packages can be found at http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/vgrade:/raspPi/Mer_Core_armv6l/armv6l/

I've also created a Mer kickstart file which creates an image which can be easily written to sdcard and boots to X+qmlviewer within 20 seconds of powerup.  The kickstart and image can be found at http://bug10738.openaos.org/images/raspberry-pi/

An ideal base for very low cost Qt/QML based products.  eg, Interactive bus stop, travel information display, store customer service etc

Check back for more details of how you can use the Mer PDK, http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Platform_SDK for development.

Spark Development

I've been working on the Spark project (http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2012/01/reveal.html) since before Christmas focussing on the device adaptation for the Zenithink C71 hardware.


Here is a video of progress so far.

Thanks go aseigo, atp_uestc, mdfe_ and the Mer and Plasma Active project teams.
