SmartQ V5 as a remote for VLC player

SmartQ with Android application VLC remote. Now I can control movies in my notebook

SmartQ V5 Windows CE with new boot

Chinese engineers developed new firmware for SmartQ V5. Android is very fast now, but Windows CE is completely Chinese. But we made from stars. I developed a shell for it, because I still want to use iGo. Windows boots 2 minutes now but who cares. Look in video.

SMARTQ V5 Running IGO 8

Here is a video about iGo8 installed on SMARTQ V5. This device has 3 operating systems: Ubuntu, Android and Windows CE. I installed iGo 8.3 on Windows CE and already tested it in my car with iBlue 747 bluetooth GPS. Navigation is perfect, voice is loud and clear.

Update: I'm using this setup almost everyday and it works perfect. Application for connect to GPS is here

Openembedded bug

If you compile gpe-image in openembedded and it ends with gpe-mixer error, here is a solution.

Error:
ERROR: '/stuff/mini2440/recipes/gpe-mixer/gpe-mixer_0.42.bb' failed


Solution:

In file
recipes/gpe-mixer/gpe-mixer/fix-install.patch
add to first 2 lines path to makefile, so result will be

--- gpe-mixer-0.42/Makefile.old 2009-05-09 21:11:12.000000000 +0200
+++ gpe-mixer-0.42/Makefile 2009-05-09 21:11:39.000000000 +0200

Now it should be compiled

PC/104 and linux (continue)

Here I wrote about Compulab PC/104 (586base) and Slackware installed on it. I decided to give a try to some software upgrade. CF card was changed to 1Gb capacity. Debian Lenny was installed. With all development stuff and ssh "df" shows 75% use. "Safecom" PCMCIA card (SWLCT-54125) now has open-source driver at http://acx100.sourceforge.net/
It doesn't compile on 2.6.32 kernel, but with debian original 2.6.26 kernel  everything compiles and works. I have some ideas for this project.
