Toon porting
Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2016 8:11 pm
As a spinoff from another question about Toon I thought whether we could port Toon to another platform.
Toon is kinda slow but has a nice design (Debatable ofcourse). So if we can somehow port Toon to a Tablet or use the display with a Rasberry Pi we would have more power to work with.
Maybe installing some kind of different Domoticz application in the background for example.
Then I thought about the possibilities and problems of that. Porting binaries, QT, serial keteladapter connection, zwave, etc etc.
So I came up with this: Using some kind of VM like Qemu (Arm-version) to emulate the full OS on another,more powerfull device and by using VNC display (or some other way) display the GUI back on the Toon.
So Toon would be more like a thin client but with unlimited power. This way there would be no problem with the "keteladapter" and the serial connection.
It 's not a big problem to reroute the /dev/ttyx from the original to the emulated Toon. (I hope)
Maybe someone comes up with something else..so shoot!
