Tegra2 based linux
So I know that there is a Tegra4linux development kit. Anyone working on making a tegra2 based distro? I bought a Viesonic Gtablet with a tegra2 processor. I have been shying away from android because it seems... well I don't want an Ipad because of its limited ability to run 2-3 apps and quickly switch between them. Like if I wanted to write an email address from a website into a database. Android seems to lack that sophistication.
I would like my Tablet to work like linux. I know it can. But there are no distros for it. Except the ubuntu for tegra. But I can not find that other than name only. And its so limited. |
In theory any processor could be easily ported to most common OS's. That is not the hard part. Getting the other 99% of a usable system to work is the issue.
http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/downloads is the only one I know of. |
yes I have seen that. But it does not seem like a solid rendition of Linux. Just a crappy light version so they can say it runs linux. I have a netbook running a atom 250. Thats almost nothing but it runs gnome at least. I am just hoping someone makes a decent linux for tegra2

Market share tegra2 .0001%. Linux developers working on it. 3 or 4.
Unless that or some other processor takes over the x86 base, you can forget about any support. I thought at one time the DEC alpha or PowerPC would have dominated the world because they were much better. Just hard to change the world. |
Tegra2's an ARM processor, isn't it? Slackware, Debian, Fedora, and more, are available for ARM. Try ARMedslack.
