Tinycore: the Asus eeeNote thread

<< < (2/4) > >>

P5music:
So, a reduced experimental version of Tinycore/Microcore could be recompiled for ARM, in principle, along with necessary base libraries? That is: has it to be decided to make something? If so, well, it was implied.

Juanito:
..and all the extensions would need to be recompiled as well

curaga:
Yes, but as has been posted many times, ARM is a huge mess right now. No one kernel or one bootloader, only binary gpu drivers, and the cpus vary enough to cause trouble too.

P5music:
Maybe some stuff found in the sd-card the Asus eeeNote starts from can be taken as those missing pieces, or studied, at least, and then merged.

MikeLockmoore:
P5music:  If you have not cross-compiled Linux (or any other major software system) for another CPU and hardware platform before, I think you will find it very challenging and time-consuming.  On the other hand, you will probably learn a whole lot more about Linux, Tinycore, and your hardware if you work your way through it.  If your goal is to just open up/unlock your device to load some alternative stuff on it, I bet there are easier ways.   ;)
