More Android on the BeagleBone Black! This is a 4" 480x272 LCD touchscreen that I've now got working with my Android port:

... and this is a 3" 320x240 LCD touchscreen now working with the same:

The 3", 4", and 7" LCD cape boards are now all supported under my Android port, thanks to CircuitCo sending me some engineering sample displays.

It also wouldn't be an update without some fan mail:

quote:

Hi hendersaI use your rom android 4.2.2.
Show display to LCD ok with mod extenral power for cable.
And now I use serial with source
https://code.google.com/p/android-serialport-api/ [code.google.com]
But it error thit message�"You do not�haveread/write permission�to the�serial�port."
Someone say "need to root device"
I would like to ask you.
1. was rom rooted?
2. how to root beaglebone black?
Expect for you reply.
Thanks for help me..

Oh shoot, you're right. Well, it's literally a one-line fix; the 'paste' function (there are several defined, depending on the type of copy you did) optionally returns a new 'selection'--for example, the original selection, or a selection of the things you just created (which is what you're suggesting).

Awesome, keeping the selection of the things you just created is what I meant, just saves you re-selecting, but over time it'll be worth it I'm sure.

As for the floating rotation, you have layer support, make pasting go into a temporary layer, so you can do your rotations on arbitrary rectangles, and then once the selection is removed it 'stamps' back into the original layer.

Imagine all the time you will save mirroring long hallways!

A terrifying mix of scala with one giant main because I don't know any better, php, and a crapload of nodejs/socketio.
I have the entire replay saving/replaying/etc done months ago, just don't have a good UI right now. I have the scoreboard for general use kinda? done though.

For god's sake, this is a company that makes live changes to their API that cost people real money because it is structurally incapable of differentiating between release and test software.

Awww... so much hate for the poor OUYA. I haven't kept up with its development, but judging from the general consensus on it, I suppose its better that I never really paid it much mind.

As for some actual content, I recorded some footage of BeagleSNES running on the LCD3 cape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md1eBUL_Nbs

I've looked at some other LCDs that are a bit cheaper than this cape, but it would take some framebuffer driver development in the Linux 3.8 kernel tree to get them up and running. These "portable" device efforts of mine use BeagleSNES for testing, but ultimately they'll be applied towards developing an Android smartphone reference platform that I'll be able to use in my research.

Sell it somehow. I recently put the effort in to convert from DirectX to OpenGL, so hopefully that should increase portability options. This type of game is really meant to be played with a controller, so it would be amazing if I could somehow get it on consoles. I'm glad you find the blog interesting--ever since I started talking in the youtube videos, longer posts have felt sort of unnecessary, so I don't know what the future of the blog is.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret... your baby steps display more initiative than what I usually see from my graduate students. They'll compile kernels and write small programs by following a list of steps because they HAVE to, but I haven't really seen any that decide they want to try something for kicks and then actually invest the time to go do it. You know... learning for the sake of personal experimentation and playing around. You're taking something available out there, tinkering with it, and learning various aspects and little pieces that will eventually all pop together to form a thorough understanding of the system. It's a good first step, and I look forward to seeing what you'll do with it in the future. Take lots of pictures for us!

A few things that I ordered came in the mail today, so I started doing more experimentation with making BeagleSNES and Android on the BBB a bit more portable.

Since I only have one USB host port to work with, I ordered a small 4-port USB hub to dismantle and use to supply more USB ports for gamepads, USB audio, USB wifi, etc. The hub I picked (an IOGear GUH285W6) is very small and only about $7. The USB audio, a cheap, no-name USB device that cost less than $4, is very small when its case is removed, and will be even smaller when I unsolder its USB connector and run wires direct from the hub to the sound card:

The audio device is handled via the generic USB sound device driver in the 3.8 kernel, and ALSA enumerated a device for it without any problem. I noticed some crackling when playing audio in the emulator (but not in the GUI front-end menu), so I suspect that the main volume needs to be lowered to avoid clipping.

I should be able to unsolder a few of the USB connectors on the hub and actually fit it between the LCD cape board and on top of the BBB. I can stack the two USB connectors for the gamepads next to the original single host USB port, and the headset and mic jacks from the audio board will nicely fit into the gap between the P8 connector and the LCD cape board on the end of the BBB that has the ethernet port.
