[Gumstix-users] begining LCD usage - learning?

[Mark A. <m_a...@co...>]

Hi,

I repasted this older msg with my new question so it starts off on its 
own (clean) thread...

I have a question about the directfb mentioned below.  I have not done 
much with fb's before.  Can this code be compiled as a stand alone 
executable or do I have to download and flash a complete OS (I just 
finished getting the latest one installed and running).  I was just 
looking for some ways to explore and learn about the capabilities of the 
Samsung LCD

Also - is there a faster way to download a new file system instead of 
the 115200 baud kermit method?

thanks

'mark
