Froyo Archos5IT update – touchscreen working

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Gr8K put a lot of effort in and got the touchscreen working! Congratulations on this result of his hard work!

We won’t be keeping you in suspense, here’s the video:

I haven’t tried the image yet myself, but I’ve been told there are still many problems to solve.

Gr8k is also working on getting things into a nice GIT repository so it will be easier to join in. Expect updates on that as soon as things pan out.

That’s all for tonight folks!

Thomas, your friendly ArchDruid

PS: Image not available for general public due to pre-alpha status, but feel free to pop by on IRC if you want to help fixing bugs. Requests for ‘gimmeh gimmeh image’ will be ignored!

Still a long way to go, but “Huston we have first boot!”

Bruno (Gr8K) showed up with good news on IRC today!

Bruno's A5IT with a fresh FroYo build

He’s got his FroYo build to boot into the UI. Sadly it has the ArchDruid problem of a not cooperating touch screen controller. Exactly the same output in the log.

Nevertheless we thought you might like to know that we are actually making progress. To stay up to date please subscribe to the mailing list, check back here and the wiki every now and then (or subscribe to their RSS feeds).

That’s all for today folks!
