that's way more complex, isn't it?
<
wpwrak>
i could probably make one at home :)
<
whitequark>
that's you
<
wpwrak>
but yes, an stm32f2-based system would be easier to make at home
<
whitequark>
you can do BGA for breakfast :)
<
wpwrak>
naw, i don't do BGA :) that's xiangfu's speciality
<
whitequark>
I mean, I'm pretty sure I do not want to debug glitches in a parallel bus if I can avoid it
<
whitequark>
and laying out SDRAM when you only know how to work with dumb SoCs is just asking for trouble
<
wpwrak>
oh, you try not to have that sort of problems :) if you screw up, you're screwed ...
<
whitequark>
exactly
<
wpwrak>
but this sort of things should still be doable by following design rules. it's not the sort of witchcraft you have with RF.
<
whitequark>
now that I think about it. so do you know decent embedded GUIs for linux?
<
whitequark>
and I mean not GTK, QT or even E17n
<
whitequark>
er, englightenment? forget how it was contracted
<
whitequark>
hm, you can probably build motif.
<
wpwrak>
i use gtk and sdl. gtk for "GUI-y stuff", SDL (with SDL_gfx) if i basically just need a canvas
<
whitequark>
well, SDL abstracts the underlying platform down to a framebuffer :)
<
wpwrak>
there's also some toolkit that sits on top of SDL. looks pretty fancy. lemme see if i can find it ...
<
whitequark>
so you won't need it on stm32 'cause it already has just a framebuffer
<
wpwrak>
haven't used that yet, though
<
whitequark>
I imagine that would be easily ported to the stm chip.
<
whitequark>
it's even 32-bit, to make things easier.
<
wpwrak>
SDL_gfx also provides some useful primitives. but yes, you could implement them on your own in a week or so
<
wpwrak>
"e" also has a bunch of infrastructure libraries
<
whitequark>
did they intentionally make it ungoogleable?
<
wpwrak>
motif was considered an obese monster. so by today's standards, it's probably extremely light-weight ;-)
<
whitequark>
that's what I thought
<
whitequark>
but it needs X
<
whitequark>
and, well
<
whitequark>
nothing needs more X.
<
wpwrak>
e = the enlightenment clan of libraries
<
whitequark>
ah, right
<
whitequark>
yeah. I imagine it's not easily ported, ie, you'd only want to use that over Linux
<
whitequark>
they do claim that their library works on some quite underpowered devices though
<
wpwrak>
yeah, 200 MHz ... but 16, maybe 8 MB of RAM :)
