The results can be used to improve OLPC screen simulations, to accurately describe the OLPC screen limits, and perhaps to improve the OLPC screen. (I'm thinking a 5x5 loadable convolution matrix in place of the hard-wired swizzle function would be very useful.)
[http://mailman.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2007-March/004143.html According to Jim Gettys,] the procedure is as follows:
#Put the [[OLPC_Firmware_Q2B76|Olpc-Q2B76.rom]] image on a USB device as '''Q2B76.rom'''
#Put the [http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build299/devel_jffs2/olpc-redhat-stream-development-devel_jffs2.img jffs2 devel "build 299"] OS image on a USB device as '''Build299.img''' (see [http://learn.laptop.org/tinderbox/builds/build299/ tinderbox report])
#Boot, stopping at the OpenFirmware '''ok''' prompt by hitting the spacebar
#Run '''copy-nand disk:\Build299.img'''
#Run '''flash disk:\Q2B76.rom'''

==example app==
The [[Media:Hello-1.0.0.tar.gz|Hello-1.0.0.tar.gz]] file contains a somewhat normal "Hello, world!" app for Sugar. (normal: Makefile and *.c files without exotic non-standard libraries)

Hopefully I can get some help turning this into a demo of the Sugar API stuff, two different ways:

the Zone Plate Boys image

how to flash an update

According to Jim Gettys, the procedure is as follows:

  1. Put the Olpc-Q2B76.rom image on a USB device as Q2B76.rom
  2. Put the jffs2 devel "build 299" OS image on a USB device as Build299.img (see tinderbox report)
  3. Boot, stopping at the OpenFirmware ok prompt by hitting the spacebar
  4. Run copy-nand disk:\Build299.img
  5. Run flash disk:\Q2B76.rom

example app

The Hello-1.0.0.tar.gz file contains a somewhat normal "Hello, world!" app for Sugar. (normal: Makefile and *.c files without exotic non-standard libraries)

Hopefully I can get some help turning this into a demo of the Sugar API stuff, two different ways:

  1. the minimum (which should be nothing)
  2. everything (sharing over the mesh, etc.)
