Journey from customizable software to hardware --> Read

It all began with an x86 based machine, form factor : ATX of course a desktop machine. In real life one starts small and grows big but related to technology it was the  other way round.
Some misinterpret software customization as mere customization of desktop which is also a form of customization but the real software customization is the Operating system that is customized based on the SoC like the one for GTA02  which includes the whole bunch of it like

microSDHC card behaving unusual**

Happen to partition the mmc into 5 partitions 3p +2extended but later on with some tweaking in the fstab wasn't able to mount the swap partition, not only that the fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 was not showing any partition with p switch (the mmc was detected properly by the kernel used dmesg|grep mmc and also the /dev was populated by created partitions ) . so commented the mmcblk partition in fstab and restarted the device which enabled to see the partition in fdisk - no idea why it behaved that way. So again formatted mmc card into 4 primary partition. lets see what happens now.

The frowned upon ethics followed by the incumbent(moi). Most of the ethic(s) feel(s) like being repeated but are rephrased by keeping in mind the context it is defined.

Cellulose page vs e-page

It almost becomes a de-facto standard to refer everything on-line for those spending 10+ hrs in the digital world, out of which most is spend on reading e-pages. Then reverting back to cellulose page is like switch from e-mail to snail mail but cellulose book is pretty conspicuous no matter how far you are using computer.

Application development on LiMo device GTA02

Imp:- The term LiMo here has nothing to do with any foundation.. it's out here as a generic term where Linux is used  on a mobile device along with other software stack to provide the needed functionality. 

The steps involved are clearly specified in qtmoko.org. It was a long procedure in my testbed with limited mem.. Even some of the errr as well as the outputs produced by the compilation process are given in quotes as it was important for me how I come to resolve some issues..
