Post by: mr_nice on February 17, 2006, 11:59:15 am

Hello,
I want to know is the Angstroem Distribution a part of OpenEmbedded?
Where could I find some information about the distribution and the reasons for build it?
regards

Hi mr_nice, nice nickname  

From the official newsletter (http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/newsletters/ooo-newsletter-200508/)  :

Ångström is a new user- and developerfriendly OE-based distribution for Linux-based PDAs and WebPads which is currently in planning state.

The first Ångström release will support the HP iPAQ, Sharp Zaurus, and SIEMENS SIMpad family of devices.

In a nutshell Ångström is part of OE and is aiming to be a full replacement of OpenZaurus, Familiar, OpenSimPad... that's to make a universal distribution supporting all the architecture supported by the above distributions.

The website is quite new and you will find more information on it : http://angstrom-distribution.org/ (http://angstrom-distribution.org/)

At least this is my understanding of Ã…ngström, please correct me koen or mickeyl if I am wrong

Hi mr_nice,

I asked the same question yesterday on IRC.  You might want to look through the logs (http://ibot.rikers.org/%23oe/20060424.html.gz) for an answer.  My nick is Laibsch.  The relevant parts start at 8:29 AM.
