LINUX on miniplayer
Hey everyone. i was rather excited when i heard someone say that linux was achievable on the meizu miniplayer. since linux is compatible with all hardware, would it be easy enough for some proffessionals to make a beta version or something as i cant because im a noob.
thanks

i also thought of this awesome idea but i think you need a realy good hacker to get it on the player... and what is linux without a keyboard?

Because it's cool. Look at the iPod with iDoom on iPodLinux. :P

Offcourse it would be achievable to put Linux on the M6, but I would first try porting RockBox. (Linux is not that big of a value for the M6) It would however require someone with no life, lot's of caffeine and skill.

I think you've got the wrong idea here - I've not heard of anyone porting linux to an m6. What you may have heard is that the m6 will connect to a PC running linux.

Anyway, since when is linux compatible with all hardware? I wish it was but somehow I don't think you could run it on a 4004, for example.

Saying that, the chips m6s are based on _can_ run linux - though I have never found a datasheet for one.

I Dont know if linux is a wise option for such a player, the meizu OS seems to be better made-to-fit on this hardware.

The m6 will not run linux , what are you guys on about... thats ridiculous , and when you say linux , im guessing you mean ubuntu ??? well sorry to burst your bubble but it will never run in a million years.... grab a copy of rockbox and port it to them m6 , or reverse engineer the firmware if you must... Anyone can do it if they have all that time to spare , I for one dont though lol... But if anyones willing to pay me.. :P

Linux as in the kernel. Ubuntu is just a desktop OS which uses Linux as its kernel, and definitely M6 couldn't run that. Linux on the other hand probably would work, but I don't think it would be any better than the original firmware performance wise.

Linux is open source so if someone get linux on it we could easly program for it and do much more with the player, we could make games etc for it... so i don't think this is possible... but i would be great if it is...

Just so you know, the M6 CPU is @200 mhz, I'm sure that's enough to run linux.
