Hi,
Do you guys know about the first commercial Linux-PDA called Yopy? It debuted internationally at Cebit 2000 in Hannover. It's developed by our company, GMate. And I'm a S/W engineer in GMate. Yopy uses StrongARM 1110 CPU, ARMLinux, W-Window, and Wt. Yopy is the very first commercial handheld device based on Linux. I think, if GTK/GDK would be ported to Embedded
Linux system, Yopy is
very good platform for it. We use W-Window system which was first created
by Scherer in Germany and
upgraded by many people like Linux. It was mono-based system and first used in Atari
system.
And we have modified W-Window to support 8/16/32 bits framebuffer. W-Window has Wt(W toolkit) and some application like small web browser,game,editor, clock, W-eye,etc... W-Window proved to be a good system for embedded Linux system by Yopy at Cebit. And many Linux guys encourage us. we are very pleased and proud of it. :-) Our W-window's current status is under developmentment, it become very different from original W. Currently, W supports Doom ( just on PC at now, but we will support Doom in Yopy with IrDA, wow...Doom death match in a Linux PDA..isn't it amazing?? kuku.. I am Doom and Quake buff :-).... ), and
2-byte character code.
If GTK/GDK looks for a good framebuffer window
server system,
I think W-Window is one of the best choice. W-Window we modified is not yet opened because
it is just under developement.
We will release Yopy in Korea for beta-testing on mid-April. When we launch Yopy on mid-July, we will follow GPL license(GPL or LGPL ^.^) , and you guys will see the product and our source
code.
( Linux kernel source and ,you know, W is also
GPLed :-))
For more information,
W-Window's main web-page is http://devnull.owl.de/~frank/W.html GMate's home page is http://www.gmate.co.kr our W-window's screenshot #1 is http://www.gmate.co.kr/screenshot/scr-1.jpg #2 is http://www.gmate.co.kr/screenshot/scr-2.jpg and YOPY in CEBIT 2000's screenshots is http://www.gmate.co.kr/screenshot/yopy-cebit2000.html
How about that? isn't it good?
