: Sorry, I think this has been asked before, but does uWindows/Nano-X work
: on eCos?
I have heard that it has been completed, but nobody has contributed
the changes back at this time...
If not, what would be needed for it to work, framebuffer
: support? Would adding framebuffer support for any UNIX type OS allow uWin
: to work?
Porting Microwindows requires writing a Microwindows screen
device driver, which isn't too much work. If the target OS can
bring up a rudimentary linear-accessed framebuffer, and have it
mapped into the process address space, then it's very straight
forward, since all the existing 1,2,4,8,16,24,32bpp draw routines
can be used as is.
Read the Arch doc on the web site for more details.
Regards,
Greg
