[07:48:10] <R_B> drmike can you run irc directly off the sd card without flashing the firmware or anything
[07:48:11] <R_B> maybe weechat or something

[07:59:07] <R_B> hello drmike
[07:59:10] <drmikecrowe> R_B: In theory, sure. You can load the kernel, load the wifi drivers, and execute the application. Our intent was to transfer control to an application loaded on the SD card
[07:59:12] <drmikecrowe> Hi R_B
[07:59:20] <R_B> ok
[07:59:28] <drmikecrowe> I'm hoping I can get some help in getting OE configured to build apps for this, that we can then just run off the SD card
[07:59:28] <R_B> so you don't even need to open the box then
[07:59:29] <drmikecrowe> Correct.
[07:59:31] <R_B> jeez
[07:59:35] <R_B> will that come in as an upgrade later
[07:59:57] <drmikecrowe> The upgrade shouldn't affect this basic operation. A problem will be when our community needs to update the kernel, or change the bootloader.
[08:08:05] <R_B> ok this all seems very exciting
[08:08:06] <drmikecrowe> I'm hoping that isn't needed, because a kernel change will be much harder for me to get through
[08:08:08] <R_B> o i c
[08:08:18] <drmikecrowe> Exactly! I'm on a mission now to get fbreader running on it ASAP, so I can read some of my ebooks
[08:08:20] <R_B> haha
[08:08:21] <R_B> you use them too?
[08:08:21] <drmikecrowe> Do you have any experience with OE?
[08:08:21] <R_B> no
[08:08:21] <drmikecrowe> All the time
[08:08:22] <R_B> not even a programmer
[08:08:30] <drmikecrowe> Ah, ok. Our longer term goal is to provide applications that a user can install on his SD card and execute
[08:08:36] <drmikecrowe> Have to run an errand--back in about 1h
[08:08:39] <R_B> thats fine, thanks for the info
[08:08:40] <drmikecrowe> np
