Hi,
Greg Haerr, author of Microwindows, stated that Microwindows can be
run without using any OS. All it needs is C-like enviroment. Since
u-boot has support for standalone C applications, would it be doable
to run MW on top of u-boot?
U-boot initializes a lot of peripherials too, and they could be used
directly in MW. I belive that for simple GUI apps (touch screen, keys,
framebuffer), controling basic functionality, that would be
sufficient. This would also speed things up - no need to wait for OS
to load and start up, gaining approx. 7-15 seconds.
Has anyone tried this?
regards,
himba
