AM350 Android E Ink Simulator

I've uploaded a video of my manual AM350 Android E Ink Simulator. I have not yet implemented simulation of the actual display controller or the physical effects and timing of the waveform and update mode selection, but I think with time, there is nothing that prevents that from being done.

I was just about to try downloading Gingerbread AOSP today, but I found out that apparently you have to have a 64-bit system to even build their code. I had thought I was doing well with my Core Duo T2300 1.66GHz/1GB/320GB, but after looking at Gingerbread build requirements and their mailing list where they ruthlessly bandy about numbers like 4GB of RAM like its commonplace, I realize I really need an upgrade. Hopefully prices will fall after Chinese New Year.

Video of Browser on E Ink Android kit with Google Search

I've uploaded a video of Browser running on the E Ink Android kit with Google Search and hitting various stuff like Ars Technica, Google Image Search, Google News and others. youtube被大陆屏蔽了。所以我用土豆。我欢迎您的意见。I'm interested in projects around this.

E Ink AM350 Android Kit

E Ink's latest AM350 development kit is up and about. Looks great, an E Ink Pearl film using an Epson controller with Armada PXA166E running full Android with touchscreen (inductive underlay so it retains full display quality) and WiFi. It looks like 2011 is starting out as an exciting year for e-paper devices.

Video of CFA910

Just watched the video of the CFA910 showing evince, eye-of-gnome, gnumeric and others running on E Ink. Pretty cool.

CrystalFontz CFA910 is out

I'm excited to see this. E Ink display with Atmel ARM running OpenEmbedded Ångström. Checkout the photos, I really like the one with evince running with matchbox-window-manager.

Keeping things working

"This is a classic problem in development: everybody wants to play the white knight coming to the rescue with the quick fix — the water pump, the $100 laptop, the motorcycle. But the tougher challenge is developing a cost-effective system to keep things working."

I like above quote. Matches observable reality.

FOSS.IN/2010

The FOSS.IN/2010 CFP is out. I highly recommend participating. I also suggest visiting Ooty, உதகமண்டலம் , but not via road, instead, take the steam train, Nilgiri Mountain Railway which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
