Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] OS Class Project ...

Hi Antonio,

A GUI would be a nice project to work on (since sofar no-one else has
build anything...).  Another neat CS project would be building an
emulator that would let you run iPod applications on another host.

A good start would probably to use something like Microwindows.  That
would let you develop applications on desktop Linux machine and simply
port/test on the iPod.

As for HFS+, its recently made it into the 2.6 kernel so hopefully it
will "just work" when that is ported to the iPod.

I'm not sure what successes there have been from Mac users.  I know
there is a toolchain that works at least (links on the website).  The
main problem is the HFS+ support.

cheers,
bern.
