Hello! Once there has been quietly ... Someone compiling familiar to E3? Here (http://hu.gs/pub/E3/readme), the author mentions (and the photo shows) on the successful installation. Someone repeated?

A while back I got Familiar and GPE running; it's not terribly hard, but very fiddly. You don't need to recompile it as the architectures are compatible. Unfortunately I don't have a list of what I did; these days I'd just use Debian instead, which is about as trivial to install as anything is on the E3. -- David Given dg@cowlark.com

Do you have ready images? I want to have a GUI, with the subsequent opportunity to realize telephone functions.

Not a chance. However, Mark Underwood has a set of as-ready-to-install-as-you-get images for OpenEmbedded available here: http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/ IIRC --- it was a long time ago --- I used this to install Debian by replacing the initrd with one from a likely-looking Debian port. -- David Given dg@cowlark.com

Why not? It now has to collect, I am familiar - and yet it was only two non-critical errors.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you just said. (Machine translation?) Could you rephrase? -- David Given dg@cowlark.com

Ooops! :) I don't check... Yes, this is the translate.google.com. I wanted to say: Why not? Why not? I saw screenshots successful installations ... I am compiling 'familiar' from the morning today, and yet it was only two non-critical errors.
Hi, With regards to the familiar images at http://hu.gs/pub/e3/ I did have it compiled a couple of years back, but time has meant I've not got around to doing much with it since then. From memory, at the time it would mostly compile without much hassle, however to be usable, you really needed to patch to support the resolution and the mouse in a useful way (remember, familiar is designed for touch screens!). Obviously my patches will be rather out of date by now, I will try to get around to updating them at some point (although I'm going to be away from a computer for most of the weekend, so it will not be until mid next week at the earliest!). Many thanks David On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 05:57:55PM +0300, Alexander wrote:

Maybe he was replying the the fact there was no image already available for it. But my understanding is familiar is out of date anyway. Angstrom is the new PDA/embedded/gui environment and that is based purely on OE. I have compiled an Angstrom distro from scratch for my HP pocket PC but i have to admit it is not for the faint hearted. Took 37 hours of compiling on a P4 1.2GHz with 2 Gb RAM ;) http://www.*angstrom*-distribution.org/ -- == Don Alexander E3 Development & tweaking ;) RooSoft Ltd

:) Now I am building familiar. After this - Angstrom.
So, I successfully assembled and launched familiar at E3. However, there are a number of problems as the compilation, and with the subsequent work. First, I had to make some corrections in the source code for a successful compilation. Secondly, while I was not able to boot from NAND in the nucleus, but I successfully download the kernel using pbltool. Then, after loading GPE observed problems with the color palette. However, in general, this is encouraging. Next, I plan to do to solve the problem. Then I want to try Angstrom. There is a wish to help me?

To save others the trouble, here's just one image showing the palette problems, without the 60 second wait before download starts and the Poker adverts. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2dt3lue&s=3 Cheers, Ralph.

Nice work Alexander. How did you compile familiar? Would you be able to post a patch for the changes you made to the source to make it work? You could add the details of what you did to the wiki pages that are available: http://wiki.earth.li/E3 -- David Reynolds david@reynoldsfamily.org.uk

Hmmm... I tried these images, and there is no ready images with graphic environment. Yes it is obvious - the maximum size of 2.5 MB total.
