Can you please help me with a working Honeycomb version? I went into the download section but in the agreement I have ICS Froyo and Gingerbread. Thank you, Daniel Hey,

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 02:18:09 +0000 http://developer.mips.com/?p=1311#comment-82 Hi Parthiv, I doubt sqlite could be used on PIC32, neither with RetroBSD, nor without. The code size of a library is about 550 kbytes, which exceeds the total flash memory size of a microcontroller. Regards, Serge Hi Parthiv,

I mean, when the RetroBSD gave the chance to use all the network stuff which is available as open source, this would be very interesting. Martin Hi Serge,

PIC's have very well developed periphery but so far it was lacking CPU power. What can be interesting for your board, is to see wheather PIC specific PIC linux drivers could be implemented - USB OTG support (so you can directly plug per say GPS or Flash or H.264 Video USB pen sticks); 128K footprint is quite okay to fit in USB stack (32k) + 802.15.4 (ZigBee or MiWI). I managed to compile both together in less than 64k. Please note - dirver can be very primitive, few lines of the code, cause it's essentially an integration of Microchip codebase with Linux. Should be pretty straightforward. Various radio cards provided by Microchip for mesh / wifi networking. I see here inifinite possibilities in using Microchip code coupled with Linux dynamic code loading. PIC's have embedded SPI line. Thus, you can add exteremely chip video card ($20) with composite overlay capabilities, base on MAX7456, or, standalone ethernet controllers such as ENC28J60. Good luck, overall, great effort. Will watch tight your development and may be help if I could better understand your solution. There are few attempts, most notable one IMHO is http://www.pic24.ru/doku.php/tnkernel/mchp_c30_16bit_port And video game on PIC, another project fun to play with http://www.pic24.ru/doku.php/osa/articles/vga_game Great, Serge, that development has a huge potential.

I need to remap the reset button, LEDs and SD card for full functionality. Also built the BSD code under VMWare and made an SD card image with DD for Windows. I'll have this done by the finish of the weekend. :-) Rob UBW32 firmware now loaded and serial comms working. I need to remap the reset button, LEDs and SD card for full functionality.
