Video- Porting OKL4 to a new SoC
Earlier this year I presented at the linux.conf.au embedded miniconf, about how to port OKL4 to a new SoC. The video was taped and had until recently been available on the linux.conf.au 2008 website, but for some reason that website has gone awol, so I thought it was a good time to put up my own copy. These videos have the advantage that they have gone through a painstaking post-production phase, which seamlessly meld the slides into the video (well, not quite seamless), and also all the bad bits have been removed.
This presentation gives a really good overview of what is involved in porting OKL4 to a new SoC. However, please note that the specific APIs have been somewhat simplified for pedagogical reasons, so this is more an introduction to the concepts, rather than a tutorial as such.
The videos are available in Ogg/Theora and also Quicktime/H264 formats, and either CIF (352x288) or PAL (720x576). If you can afford the bandwidth I would recommend hi-res ones, as then you can actually see what is one the screen.
