nope...

but here is the good news: the bsquare and the 900c share very much in common. the bootloaders have shared code, so do their kernels and so on. hardware too, for example the keyboard works the same way, cosmo0's keyboard driver would work.

the difference is the screen res (chip is epson in both, not sure if the same model), and of course the NAND and pxa250 in the bsquare.

so we can try and start a linxu project for it



p.s.: this is because the ODM is bsquare for both the devices.

but 900c supports external vga, can't we make something useful for either situations? how do you think we can start to have a minimal support?

I'm starting these days to install linux on a laptop I've half repaired. It's a good change to learn, even if on hpc it's different!
