I think we usually busy, it has engaged in research and development, the younger brother (now idle) to the point you have news! ! ! Oh! Linux creator Linux Torvalds employer Transmeta Corporation announced that the source code has passed factory VA Linux Systems (SourceForge) website, expressing support for mobile devices Midori Linux.
Transmeta production and sales of low power consumption, and Intel-compatible Crusoe processors. Built Crusoe chips in order to help stimulate sales of mobile devices, Transmeta developed a special Midori operating system (formerly known as the Mobile Linux). Midori by Japanese "green" means, emphasizing energy saving and environmental awareness.
Midori generally hope to build Transmeta Crusoe chip for small mobile devices, hold a strong desktop with the Microsoft Windows independently. Midori has been used to create the Gateway Touch Pad. Midori, the number of new products will be used in computer Cebit exhibition in Hanover, Germany next week in an appearance.
Linux developers, and competitors such as Microsoft and Red Hat Linux and other circulation business, Midori months paying close attention to what procedures will be modified Linux core functions. Now answer the announcement of the beginning of new functions include : Support of the power management hardware, help to reduce power consumption. Crusoe chips support the energy saving functions, including support LongRun technology. Flash operation in the use of a file system, rather than hard disks. Use of a general use computer memory file system. Transmeta Midori six members of the development team, said Dan Quinlan, Torvalds wrote the first edition of "CramFS" paper system to be used for data compression about half again into Flash. Flash memory with ordinary, with the power to close it will be deposited in the disappearance, was widely favored handheld devices.
Torvalds also designed a policy called "RamFS" software into RAM so that not only documents, the file system can automatically adjust the size, in the sense that the documents are only required memory space, no more and no less, will not allow the software to occupy less than the upper valuable memory space. cause other software applications could not be implemented due to lack of remaining memory capacity.
Quinlan said that the planned improvements Midori functions, including advanced configuration and power saving of the current adapter (ACPI) support. ACPI system has been shut down to allow all the functions, retaining only memory to conserve electricity.
Quinlan also hope that other manufacturers to take part, joining the ranks of support Midori, Midori Linux devices to unify the technical specifications of the standard.
Transmeta said that Midori is designed to enable mobile devices rapidly switched, company networks parallel to strengthen personalized functions. Midori the fourth Xfree86 graphics software more modular system. Quinlan said about 8MB of memory compatible Midori Linux operating system, mapping systems and basic software.
