Title: I2C and TCB
Post by: destroyedlolo on June 07, 2010, 02:54:48 AM

Hi all,

I'm planning to use TC on old 486 / 48 Mb laptop to so "Train model automation".
In need a browser with full CSS and AJAX support which is a challenge with such small memory system.

This system will control models using I2C and I'm planning to use i2c-parport present in Linux kernel (using the adapter seen in this page (http://www.unixgarden.com/index.php/comprendre/un-capteur-de-temperature-sur-bus-i2c) (sorry, french only).

Is any tutorial available about I2C on TC ?
Otherwise, any tutorial to build my own kernl with TC ? (I did kernel rebuild several times on NetBSD but never for Linux).

Thanks

Laurent

The i2c modules are available in extensions (hwmon in 2.x, i2c in 3.x), including i2c-parport.

I suppose Opera 9 would be a fairly good deal, though you will need swap to even use the base desktop properly on 48mb.
