Dingoo A320 forum

hi!
i want to help in the gui, currently i'm working in this theme for dingoo

just tell what is nedd to be done, sizes, what format images use, i can make then, or help if someone is making.
but i just have an idea, if more ppl want to help in the gui, we can do some images togeder and post here, so ppl can talk about and we release a gui that plesure all (or at last some off) members...
so, i'm here for help!
good look torque!

I just realized that there are existing frontends, and that they are portable, as it
seems (new to all this handheld /homebrew stuff):

So I think I'll abandon this one, unless somebody comes up with a good reason
not to.

Cheers

gmenu2x is a good one!
if you decide to abandon the project man, it's ok, if we have this skin on dingoo will be awesome.
but if the project goes on, i'm still on to help !
but also a on-screen keyboard will be awesome as well.
cheers mate!

yeah, I meant the gui part (was tired), keyboard and mouse are still in. i'll have a look at
gmenu2x and work on keyboard / mouse / volume / brightness on the weekend
(things got a bit busyer than i thought at work).

@booboo: how are bightness and volume exposed to userspace?

What development VM are you using?

I use a qemu with framebuffer support, to 'emulate' dingux and get a native compiler.

What about you?

I used VMware Workstation running Debian Lenny (now VirtualBox with Fedora Core 9, because of glibc 2.8
needed for the uClibc toolchain). I have set up the linux and toolchains myself (not a pre-built image,
if you mean that).

Okay. I thought you were using a qemu emulating a MIPS.
Thanks

Ah, OK ... how's the performance? I don't really see the benefit, cause your VM
doesn't have the dingoo hw, but at least you can be sure that your build
environment is clean. Neat.

The performance is awful: more than 3 days to compile the kernel on a quad-core (I think only one CPU is used)
The benefit is that you can test apps, and have a framebuffer. And the build environment is 'native'

I'd like to get ethernet gadget working, but build binaries ON the dingoo...
