Hello, folks!
I'm working on building a prototype of an info appliance that uses an electronic paper display for its form factor and readability.
I have a prototyping platform from eInk (http://www.eink.com/kits/index.html) that uses a Gumstix SBC to drive a specialized display driver connected to the electronic paper.
Given Squeak's exceptional portability, I'd like to use it to build a demo to run directly on the device.
I'm gearing up to port Squeak to the device starting with the existing Linux port (the Gumstix comes w/ Linux running on it). But I'm not sure how to get the VM to send output to the eInk-supplied API (source code included) to the electronic paper driver.
I've found Ian's "Squeak on Linux Framebuffer" page and think that will help. But minnow's timing out right now so I can't dig deeper into that.
Anyone else have other pointers/advice/etc?
TIA
Bob Courchaine
