Status of development/apps for the DT-A380?
« on: July 14, 2011, 09:17:37 AM »
First of all (for myself too) we're talking about this one:

(for additional info see this topic)

What's the status of the development for this nifty little wannabe Dongoo A320 killer? Any nice emulators yet? If I'm not mistaken there does seem to be a sort of Dingux port for this one. Is developing for that Dingux version as easy as for the old Dingux? Can Dingux A320 apps easily be ported/recompiled for the A380?

There does not seem to be a software development kit (SDK) for it's native firmware/OS however.

Apart from Dingooo Digital USA, where can it be bought?

I was under the impression that this device only ran some linux variant (dingux) and not uCos/II (which you refer to as native) ?

Becuase it runs a linux variant derived from Dingux. People confuse it with uCos/II because it runs a dmenu skin which resembles the one from A320's native os. Nobody's interested in the developement because of the way Dingoo Tech treated the GPL license in their firmware.

DTA380 should be binary compatible with DDA320's dingux.
In theory, but it really depends on the programs themselves. If a program has any hardcoded pathes to file locations, or tries to access hardware directly, there might be incompatibilities between the two platforms and the binary might segfault. There can be also differences between the system libs in Dingux's rootfs and the one present on A380. Moreover, A380 has a different screen resolution and most of the dingux programs were designed to run in 320x240, so they might behave highly unstable in a different screen size. There are probably more examples of issues with running dingux binariees on a380, but the ones I listed should give an idea why DTA380 doesn't play Dingux apps perfectly.

Has anybody succeeded yet in running a binary that was compiled for A320's Dingux on the DT-A-380?
