tiny core linux tft display price

1. look: pretty basic, looks like a plastic box for kid; i bought it black and barbones since i have all what the gecko needs (sd card 2GB, wifi usb dongle, power cable and AA batteries); the shipment was quickly made, and i have got the gecko within 4 days in Europe; shipment costs are high (~70$), so buy it barbones, it saves money; the gecko comes with a cd; there are drivers for windows, so useless for linux; i have partition my sd card in one partition for the tree and 300 MB swap;

a. tc/mc 2.8 won"t work with the gecko since it returns the known IO APIC error, followed by a kernel panic; the gecko works with tc 1.4.3 however, but i don"t have the cramfs extensions anymore in order to test it; booting only the core was quick, though; so let"s hope that the team can solve this issue in order for us to test the gecko with tc/mc last version;

-- sound - it happens to require the realtek driver for linux; i have downloaded it and compiled it, but compilation failed because the driver can"t find the compiler and other files/directories it should find in order to compile without issue; this is probably because the driver have been package with ubuntu or fedora in mind; i shall try with one of these distributions in order to see if sound works;

c. hardware - keyboard: given the tiny size of the gecko, don"t expect a wide keyboard; but it is possible to type with ten fingers relatively quickly; you have to practice a bit in order to use the keyboard as you would like to since it is very sensitive;

I give the gecko 7/10. No sound (-1), flash sloppy (-1) as well as some habits to develop in order to use the netbook (mainly the keyboard, -0.5, and the "plastic-box" look of the laptop, -0,5) might be problematic for some users. But you"ll get a fantastic portable X86 machine which is green, which runs very well on AA batteries, and which let you do basic office tasks without being too slow. Surely not for windows users, rather for advanced linux ones.

It is not a complete desktop nor is all hardware completely supported. It represents only the core needed to boot into a very minimal X desktop typically with wired internet access.

Our goal is the creation of a nomadic ultra small graphical desktop operating system capable of booting from cdrom, pendrive, or frugally from a hard drive. The desktop boots extremely fast and is able to support additional applications and hardware of the users choice. While Tiny Core always resides in ram, additional applications extensions can either reside in ram, mounted from a persistent storage device, or installed into a persistent storage device.

We invite interested users and developers to explore Tiny Core. Within our forums we have an open developement model. We encourage shared knowledge. We promote community involvement and community built application extensions. Anyone can contribute to our project by packaging their favorite application or hardware support to run in Tiny Core. The Tiny Core Linux Team currently consists of eight members who peruse the forums to assist from answering questions to helping package new extensions.

5. Copy all matching .ko entries from tmp/core to the same directory structure in tmp/tft/squashfs-root, deleting the matching .ko.gz entries - I used xfe for this

The FBTFT drivers are now in the Linux kernel staging tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/tree/drivers/staging/fbtft?h=staging-testing

I"m pretty new in terms of tiny core and even linux itself. But I"m doing my best to learn asap everything i need for getting more and more familiar with it.

I"m using picoreplayer on a raspberry pi 3 and a 5 inch touchscreen (waveshare 5"" version B, means touchfunction via USB, newbielink:http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_HDMI_LCD_(B)_(Firmware_Rev_2.1)_User_Manual [nonactive]).

Tiny Core Linux has been updated to v13.0, following its recently established annual cadence. This veteran ultra light Linux distribution is remarkably compact by today"s standards, requiring a mere 22MB download. However, it installs and presents the user with a fully graphical UI, with a modern Linux kernel, and allows you to install and run modern applications (but keep it simple if you install this OS due to your PC being ancient).

The most notable changes to the lightweight x86 OS are that the kernel has been updated to version 5.15.10, and the spruced-up OS functions using the following; glibc 2.34, gcc 11.2.0, binutils 2.37, e2fsprogs 1.46.4, busybox 1.34.1. Downloads are available for both 32- and 64-bit systems, with the latter being a somewhat bigger download at 31MB. Please note that on the official download pages you must pick the "TinyCore" ISO files as others don"t include a UI, just the OS with a command line interface.

Tiny Core Linux has a well earned reputation as an OS which computer enthusiasts and tinkerers can turn to, to make use of a system that has long passed its Windows-powered sell-by date. So, yes the system requirements are light, which you might have guessed from the lightweight download.

If you are wondering what the minimum and recommended system requirements for Tiny Core Linux are, I have bullet pointed the key specs below, as told by the official FAQ.

Managing to fit modern usable OSes in a small footprint is always an impressive feat, though if you are a computer veteran you might still sniff at the idea of 22MB downloads being small. To provide some perspective, Tiny Core Linux is about two-thirds the size of the Windows 95 install (30MB, but required 100MB+ of disk space to install). Going back a bit further in time, the Windows 3.11 for Workgroups installer files added up to about 12MB.

And should I mention it again, CoreImage will be a key stone of OSX in the future. Having a decent GPU inside certainly would not hurt. Or at least offer the option on purchase.

If you dont mention Paypals or I dont know start a competition between Microsoft , Apple and GNU/linux user ( BSD dont have money so it seems ) to raise the most money to have you shave your head and write on it I hate X ( loosing contributing OS ) on your shaved head with a black marker and take picture and a film of it at an Apple Store ( pray its not Apple who loose ).

I’m glad Apple finally ditched the extremely frustrating 1024×768 ceiling. You can also finally have a higher external res than that on the built-in display. That’s the biggest thing that’s been keeping me away from the iBook line for so long. They’ve finally given their pro laptops an edge in video without crippling their consumer end.

The Core Duo costs more than three times the price of a G4 chip (I think), last time I heard. Apple never said it was cheaper. What’s nice is now at the same price you can get a 6x faster machine.
