ASUS Transformer Prime Bootloader Unlock Used to Install Ubuntu

The Eee Pad Transformer Prime runs Android by default, but people have wanted to install Linux on it for quite a while, a wish that has finally become possible. - Littlesteve owns the product and had prepared an Ubuntu build for it even before ASUS finished the bootloader unlock tool.

Fedora Remix for Raspberry Pi Released

Linux on ARM Developers at the Seneca College released a version of Fedora Remix ARM that's optimized for the Raspberry Pi. Fedora Remix is itself a lightweight version of the open-source Red Hat Linux derivative, which is now further optimized for this $25 self-contained hobby-kit computer. The new Fedora Remix variant fits in a 2 GB SD card that the Raspberry Pi boots from.

Using a Linaro File System on the Cadence Virtual Platform for the Xilinx Zynq-7000 EPP

Linux on ARM Linaro has emerged as a great place to find well tested toolchains, Linux kernels, and evaluation builds for Ubuntu and Android. Everything is focused on the ARM Architecture which is great news for me since almost all of the projects I work on also involve ARM processors.

Ubuntu for Android brings a desktop OS to Android smartphones

Linux on ARM You know how people like to say that today’s smartphones are more powerful than the computers that NASA used to send astronauts to the moon in the ’60s? Well, that’s not saying much, because those early computers were small potatoes.

Running full Linux for ARM on Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Terminal+GUI!)

Just a quick video showing LDXE running on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Terminal is used to start it, VNC is used to connect to terminal.

Raspberry Pi with a week to go

Linux on ARM Raspberry Pi has been designed to inspire a new generation of teenage computer programmers, by a team of Cambridge entrepreneurs and academics frustrated by the lack of computer science talent emerging from schools. Much awaited, it should be availble in the next week or so.

Linux Event TV: Jon Corbet Talks Android, ARM and LWN

LWN.net Editor, Linux kernel developer and Linux Foundation weather forecaster Jon Corbet talks to us from Android Builders Summit. He shares a summary of the keynote panel that discussed Android code and the mainline Linux kernel, memory management, ARM, the Linux weather forecast for the next 6 months and who is contributing now to the Linux platform.

ARM On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Battling Intel x86?

Linux on ARM In recent weeks I have shown how Ubuntu 12.04 is ARM-ing up for better performance on the ARMv7 architecture by enabling hard-float builds and how the TI OMAP4 support has come together resulting in significant performance gains. Nevertheless, how is modern ARM hardware now comparing to the low-end Intel x86 competition? In this article are some results from Ubuntu 12.04 comparing the ARM performance to some Intel Core, Pentium, and Atom hardware.

Cross-compiling VMWare View for ARM Linux (in Debian/Ubuntu)

Linux on ARM Earlier this month, I wrote an article about PCoIP Technology which shows an Android application (VMWare View) running on an OMAP4 Tablet displaying a Windows 7 desktop. This remote desktop technology relies on a powerful server to do the processing and thin clients (in that case Tablets) to display the desktop. Since only pixels are transferred any OS (supported by the server) could be displayed in the thin client.

Comparing JVMs on ARM/Linux

For quite some time, Java Standard Edition releases have included both client and server bytecode compilers (referred to as c1 and c2 respectively), whereas Java SE-Embedded binaries only contained the client c1 compiler. The rationale for excluding c2 stems from the fact that (1) eliminating optional components saves space, where in the embedded world, space is at a premium, and (2) embedded platforms were not given serious consideration for handling server-like workloads.
