[Empeg-technical] Re: Can empeg boot another OS ?

[Tony Fabris]

I don't know much about embedded systems, so pardon me if the answer is obvious   The answer is "you'd have to know a lot about embedded systems to do it".  :-)

You can't just copy winCE onto the thing and expect it to work. You can't just copy Linux or even Arm-Debian onto the thing and expect it to work. The operating system that's currently on there is a heavily customized version of Arm-Debian which has been deliberately altered to match the empeg's specific hardware configuration. No existing version of any operating system will run on it, it has to be heavily modified before you can even get it working at all.

Maybe you could hack CE to work on it somehow, but like I said, you'd have to know a lot about embedded systems and about the player hardware before even attempting it.
