<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"><FONT size=2>hi all,<BR><BR>I'm from Centre for
Wireless Communications (CWC), Singapore. I am <BR>very interested to work
on Kaffe for my centre's research project.<BR><BR>Here's my project platform
:</FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT face="Courier New"><BR>A stand alone embedded
system using the Linux OS on a StrongARM <BR>(SA-1100) processor. <BR><BR>It
will support (among others) a audio I/O and a active TFT touch-screen
LCD,<BR>PCMICA and IrDA etc.<BR><BR>A native applications using ONLY Kaffe
OpenVM interfaces to communicate<BR>with the OS (Linux) and the reset of the
hardware.<BR><BR>The platform will have a basic native AWT layer (like a
Hardware Abstraction<BR>Layer) supporting the Kaffe's AWT graphics
library. It will be the GRX v2.3<BR>graphic library ( there will not be
any X windowing system, like X or Win32 etc).<BR><BR>Here's a few
questions that urgently need attention :<BR>1) Is such a software architecture
(mentioned above) realistic ??<BR><BR>2) approximatley how much of development
effort is required to port Kaffe onto my<BR> project
platform ??<BR><BR>3) what are the available specifications and APIs for
Kaffe ??<BR><BR>4) do I need the native AWT layer (mentioned above)
??<BR> If yes, how should I interface with
the Kaffe's AWT graphics layer ?? <BR> i.e. what
sort of support should my native AWT layer (mentioned
above)<BR> implement ??<BR><BR>5) my
platform is going to support only a flat frame-buffer display
memory,<BR> what kind of frame-buffer management
should be supported & implemented ?? <BR><BR>thanx all <BR><BR><BR>best
regards.<BR>**************************************************************<BR>*
