Hi Booboo,

Qt Embedded (now owned by Nokia and recently made LGPL) is made for all kinds of mobile devices, with or without pointing device. It is for example used on many phones, eg:

http://www.osnews.com/story/15678&page=1

The reason I'd like to use it is because it provides a very nice and easy to use interface to a lot of functionality (user interface, graphics, file system, threads...). It would be a good choice for the menu system and for writing all kinds of applications for the device. I already used Qt on an embedded device with buttons very similar to Dingoo's and it worked out really well.

I'll see if I can make a modified kernel to try out some things with Qt embedded and then post the results.

@Coolty: though a shorter name would be more reasily recognized, so I registered the domain and changed the blog name.

@Master: the kernel binary I released does have the whole networking functionality disabled to save resources, plus thought it made no sense in a non-networked device. If you absolutely need it, you may get the kernel sources, enable it and compile.

I've developed quite a lot for Qt on desktops, and I think it doesn't make much sense to port it to a device with such a limited "desktop" space and without a pointing device (mouse).

I'm trying to get the Qt Embedded framework running on Dingoo Linux. Qt is a very good multi-platform framework (user interface, graphics, sound....). I compiled the Qt Embedded sourcecode using the Ingenic toolchain, but currently I do not yet succeed in running the example applications. I get the following messages in the console:
QWSServerSocket::init: Function not implemented
QWSServerSocket: unable to create socket.
QWSServerPrivate::initServer: server socket not listening: Illegal seek
Failed to bind to /tmp/qtembedded-0/QtEmbedded-0
Aborted

Somebody said this has to do with unix sockets not begin enabled in the kernel. Is this something that would be possible to do or do you foresee problems for this?

what's with lingoox? lol

I promised my son he would have a Linux machine this weekend, i couldn't keep up my word, now he hates me and has his heart broken.

Thanks Booboo, of course, its another joke, there is no rush, without you we couldn't be having or expecting any of this.

2009-06-15T13:12:41.361+02:00

Oh come on, hurry up, it's not like you're carefully producing a guide and software targeted at preventing newbies from messing up their boot sector and bricking their devices or anything!

I kid, I kid! Take all the time you need, you can't rush perfection.

2009-06-15T07:33:47.584+02:00

don't worry about what you said. it's always best not to rush these things.
