Hello Developers,



We have a demo distribution of Firefox Browser with our graphics framework running on AU1200 based DBau1200 board.

Just several questions:

1) Is there any snapshot picture for this demo? 2) How much is MicroXWin system? 3) What's the h/w requirement (FLASH & RAM) in order to get a complete MicroXWin application to run on board? 4) How about DirectFB or graphic hardware acceleration support?

Thanks, Marco Wang

Hi Marco,

Demo is based on gtk+-2.6.10 and is standard firefox-1.5 version. It includes blackbox window manager, leafpad editor and galculator. The distribution is about 35MB and can be further slimmed down. Firefox is a memory hog so I would recommend 128MB for runtime. Minimo would run in 64MB.

Basic MicroXwin could fit in 1MB flash. Although much smaller the value is really in performance.

Regards Vasant
