The story: I usually drive old cars… my current one is an Opel Omega from 2001 and that one came with the [...]
Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:31:43 +0000 Some times it happens that I have to dig out some old piece of hardware and try to get it running again… I recently got a very geek present for my birthday – one that requires a working SGI Indigo next to it. Luckily nothing gets lost at kernel concepts and I was able to [...]
Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:05:45 +0000 Finally – some free days for family and friends and to write a few lines which might be useful for someone else. Since Android started to become more and more interesting for industrial and business applications I got involved in some projects porting Android to several devices. It turned out that the documentation of the [...]

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 21:03:53 +0000 Now that its autumn in Europe it is a good time to blog about the summer vacations :) The Chaos Communication Camp was a real highlight – just a perfect environment for Hacker’s and their fork()^h^h^h offsprings summer vacations. I do not want to write too much… saving some words for more technical posts, but [...]
Wed, 22 Sep 2010 23:15:07 +0000 FriendlyARM is shipping the new Mini6410 for a little while now. It is based on a 533MHz clocked Samsung S3C6410.

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:47:39 +0000 It took me a while to get started with the blog again… so let’s start with something tiny: OpenEmbedded images for the Sim.One. So far we had quite some documentation about filesystems on external media but what about the internal flash? We have 8MB which is enough for a tiny filesystem we can build with [...]
Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:51:14 +0000 I only had a very few free minutes today I was able to spend following the discussions and reading released information about MeeGo.

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:22:25 +0000 Wee..! Big news – Intel and Nokia joining their open source software platforms Maemo and Moblin into a single one: Meego So what does this mean for developers and device manufacturers?

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:32:22 +0000 Something was wrong with FOSDEM this year: The weather – it was (comparably) warm and the sun was shining all the time!
