Hi Kevin,<br><br>As far as I can tell, the system programmers in Boston are very occupied with getting 1.75 and 3.0 out the door. I think there's interest in seeing an ARM XS, but not immediately, with the resources available to them.<br>
<br>There's a volunteer in San Francisco, who's email is rihoward, who has played with a number of ARM boxes. He's already given me some really useful advice.<br><br>I don't have the background to be very productive in getting the XS onto ARM, but to me it seems strategic.<br>
<br>I am spending a few hours every day, trying to learn about cross compiling fc17 onto the ARM arch. <br><br>But I'm no expert. Maybe we could join forces. As I go along, one of my goals it to document the steps at <a href="http://schoolserver.wordpress.com">schoolserver.wordpress.com</a>.<br>

</div></div>Hi there,<br>
<br>
I am new in this list but involved in OLPC-France.<br>
Could someone point me to the XS ARM port status?<br>
I don't know yet what software the XS is composed of, but since I have<br>
the Alex's dreamplug here in Paris I could try to move things forward.<br>
(Won't probably make it before May but costs nothing to read about it).<br>
<br>
I also have a FitPC(2?), but the power supply is lost somewhere in my bedroom…<br>
Yeah, it is way too hot IMHO<br>
