Hey There, I've never heard of BeagleBoard. As a user of it, have you tried playing HD? I really would like to have one if can play various formats of digital video and of course on Arch! Cheers!

I noticed a few days ago too. Thanks for remembering, I'm gonna try it right now on a BeagleBoard.

Cheers!

Well, after some hours of work (most of the time downloading stuff) I finally did it, I'm on the testing phase now, and of course trying to compile more packages.

Here's a picture of the BeagleBoard working. I hope I can get a real camera tomorrow, this one was taken with my cellphone http://twitpic.com/9ri9r .

PS: If someone from archmobile.org reads this, please contact me, as your e-mail servers doesn't work.

I tried the Angstrom distribution, connected to a DVI-capable monitor through the HDMI port on the beagle. I only tried to play a 720p video, but the problem was the speed of the SD card so the framerate wasn't good. Maybe with arch+mplayer+patches it'll do better, because it has a DSP chip. But I don't plan to test it soon because my goal is to stream compressed video from a webcam via wi-fi, and I don't have a monitor to test on :P I'd highly recommend this piece of hardware, it's cheap, has audio in/out, a powerful processor, HDMI/S-Video connector and a mini-usb port. Keep checking http://archmobile.org/. -- mitoyarzun http://www.archlinux.cl/

Hi, When you install Arch on a device such as the freerunner, nokia n800, (t-mobile G1/2/3 ?) do you still have the ability to make/receive phone calls and sms'es? I'm looking for the perfect personal organizer (linux with extensive userland so I can run/do everything I want, good keyboard etc) that can also function as a phone. (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75385 ) I'm not afraid of hacking a bit myself but in the end I want reliable phone-features as well. I would really appreciate your input. thanks Dieter

Well, the N800 isn't a mobile phone, it's like a sub-sub-netbook :P

I think you could grab the mobile phone capabilities from the smartphone's original OS's (like OpenMoko) or am I wrong?

Good look with this :)

Oops, i confused the n800 with the n97. The n97 has an ARM cpu, so all my questions remain, only s/n800/n97 :) Dieter
