GUI framework supports Android, adds Lua scripting
,----[ Quote ]
| Fluffy Spider Technologies (FST) announced a
| new version of its Linux-ready "FancyPants"
| lightweight embedded graphics framework for
| consumer electronics. FancyPants 3.0 adds
| Android support, 3D effects, virtualization and
| multi-processor support, and "Lua" scripting,
| and it decouples UI design from underlying
| code, enabling more third-party control over UI
| modifications, says FST.

Cortex-A8 modules gain development kits
,----[ Quote ]
| The Overo Earth family of COMs was billed as
| the next generation successor to the popular
| 3.2 x 0.8 x 3.2-inch Gumstix Verdex modules.
| The Overo Earth is 40 percent smaller than the
| Verdex, and swaps out the Marvell PXA270
| processor for the more powerful Texas
| Instruments (TI) OMAP35xx SoC. Although clocked
| similarly at 600MHz, the OMAP35xx offers faster
| performance, thanks to its ARM Cortex-A8
| superscalar core, which enables instruction-
| level parallelism within a single processor.
| All the modules offer Linux development
| support.

Embedded Linux research report ships

| EDC noted that some 40 percent of the survey's 500 respondents were targeting
| embedded Linux.

|
| Also in the earlier reports, Andrews observed that the need for RTOS source
| code was "one of the reasons that proprietary RTOSes created in-house for a
| specific system have long been popular, and now it's a primary motivating
| factor in the adoption of Embedded Linux."
|
| The now completed survey results are said to include "expert analysis" from
| Ann Thryft, a 20-year industry veteran. The report includes chapters on
| platforms, processors, tools, languages, security, target devices, mobile
| development, and of course, Linux.
