Log entry #1 - What I want it and why I am doing this
2 hours ago • 0 commentsHi all.
Those who are in ipod/rockbox/theming community might or might not remember me as author of NeoBeat or first adaptive Ipod classic theme for Rockbox or animations and some other things.
I decided to work on something different - I want to bring FreeRTOS to iPod.
Why? I am tired and bored with Rockbox, it was good 20+ years but I just don't want to deal with it anymore. Especially UI "API" (Viewports and all that) it's just a torture if you want to do something more advanced than 2 rounded rectangles on the screen.
What is FreeRTOS and why I decided to go with it?
RTOS designed to run even on microcontrollers with extremely tight hardware limitations, so iPod should be able to run it with no issues.
+ there is LVGL and this fact alone is enough for me.
