Hi All,
I have not posted for long since I was far far away from Linux for all this while. I am currently attempting to build an embedded Linux image which will work as a GUI for a printer. This is a demo project that I am attempting in my company.
However, I find that lot of embedded Linux links that were active till last year has almost died off!. Below are the few links that I tried.
http://www.uclinux.org/ (Last release on July/05)
http://uclibc.org/ (Last release on Aug/05)
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ (Last updates was in 2005)
In addition many projects mentioned
here are also inactive (Eg. FBUI, PicoGUI, Nano-X). (Thats the first site which will appear when I Google for "embedded Linux GUI".)
What is the message that I should get from these?
a) If you are doing embedded Linux you are of your own
b) Do more googling
c) Embedded Linux died.
I am trying to convince my managers that it is more easier to do development in embedded Linux; now I want someone to convince me that first
Please give your opinion on this and also if you know, please refer some sites which has current information. (Of course there were a very few sites that I found to be active even now link DirectFB. I also saw kernelkit today morning. I am still downloading it through my dial-up link)
Thanks & Regards,
Sarin
