[Open2x-devel] Hello everyone :)

[StarG <St...@op...>]

Welcome dear mailing list readers,

this is my first post here so hello to you all. First some
introductionary words: i found the idea to have an own buildable and
custom firmware for the GP2X very promising as does the OPEN2X project
look to me. Let's get work together on it. :)

I'm currently already involved into some activities around that project.
I'm both working on a easy to setup variant of the toolchain and a
userspace tool to help identifying and managing usb devices on GP2X.

With the upcoming first O2X release the problem for the app / game
programmers arise to identify the current irmware running on GP2X and/or
wheter its a pc host build. I did a quick sketch on a library which
would help to do this task. The thing to debate would be currently only
its interface as its way for an implementation is a bit vaguely.

Possible would be directly called functions which return char* strings
like in the supplied header. Another possibility would be to have an

char** enumerateAttributes();
bool isAttributePresent( char* attributename );
char* getAttribute( char* attributename );

interface or even a mix of both. I would really like to hear other
opinions about how to proceed here. I'm also open for discussions of my
other projects i mentioned above.

Thanks for listening
StarG
