What else except Qt?

Hello, people.
I own a a mini2440 and I am currently using it for a surveillance console
project.
I see that most of you are working in Qt. But I am having real problems
setting up Qt X-compiler.
And I bought this board for quick prototyping my idea, and hence I can't
spend any more time on Qt. 

I want to know if anyone has any experience on working with other APIs on
mini2440 (except Qt/HTML)? I want to create a really simple UI on 2440. But
most frameworks require me to re-build the kernel, which I am not
interested in doing. So, is there any other way out?

Also is there a way to install applications on the mini2440 (like apt on
linux/ubuntu)?

Thank you.

You could use debian if you want to install applications with apt, just
search for debian on this forum. But then you will loose the default qtopia
desktop.

Hi, thanks for replying.

I saw a few topics about having Debian on mini2440. Seems like a great
solution, to me. But I haven't spent any time with the board yet and I am
nervous that I may end up bricking it.
Also, I have the new display (Sony X35). So I need to first search for the
proper drivers. And my project deadline is Dec 31, so I have very little
time and a lot of other things to do.

Any way of porting Java/X without rebuilding the kernel?

Thank you.

If your deadline is 31.12 you need to hurry up :P
If you follow the steps in guides correctly nothing should be bricked, and
if it would happen you could restore it through the JTAG cable. Recompiling
the kernel isn't so hard once you have tried it some times.

Here are some links that might be useful if you want to use debian:

Here is information about adding support for Sony X35 display to the
buserror kernel, add the code from pastebin to the right place in the file

Thanks again:)
I started working on it. The last link just sorted everything out. :)

Hi All,


I own a a mini2440 and I am currently using it for a some project.
In my project i got the some problem in LCD driver.So please tell me any
one know the what LCD driver IC used in Sony X35 3.5 inches LCD module.

Hi Slash,

So you're asking for a general GUI framework, aren't you? If you're
familiar with Python I'd recommend you to have a look at wxPython. Combined
with Debian/Emdebian this should speed up development, but this depends on
you python skills ...
