ubuntu 7.04 on OMAP3

[MetalShreader]

ubuntu's come a long way. and now with the unity interface, I'm switching to older versions. thumbs up if you hate ubuntu 11.04's UI.

[pcpll]

so, you can run 7 on omap3 now.

just hope its enough powerful if not there is still the very good xp

[ComradeSlice]

@pcpll wtf? This is not Windows. This is Ubuntu Linux.

[pcpll]

@ComradeSlice what I mean (it think) is if you run full ubuntu, you can run windows

but I cant even remember the reason i said that cause omap3 is arm

[shiznebit]

this is really freaking cool.

I can't wait for the touch book !!!

Do you know if can add a memory upgrade some how ?

I understand that its PoP, but prehaps externally.

With that GIMP and the entire system should FLY !!!

You need to re-compile everything for the ARM architecture.

This means you can only use open-source emulators, basically.

This is amazing.  I am surprised the chips are not more widespread in devices.

Was it hard to do?

Did it take long to get working?

[Rumplestilzken]

ubuntu has arm support built in.

[lambedan]

Doesn't it require some kind of board support package?

[Rumplestilzken]

I dont quite understand your question. ubuntu doesnt take much to get onto the board. go to the beagle board website. there is actually a how to for ubuntu. Its under projects.

[microtrigger]

is it cortex A8?

[ktaywade]

Yes

[slintsines]

Is there a maximal Resolution for Omap?

[enigmacipher]

nope. The chipset can theoretically output some fantastic number (depending on how it is designed). However, more than 720p is difficult for video, more than 1080 is impossible for video. a suppose 1600p would work in a simple gui, but what whould you use that for?

Hey, what's the background track? Stuff's pretty rockin for a loop.

[nate9771]

[zerkesh]
