AM350 Android E Ink Simulator

I've uploaded a video of my manual AM350 Android E Ink Simulator. I have not yet implemented simulation of the actual display controller or the physical effects and timing of the waveform and update mode selection, but I think with time, there is nothing that prevents that from being done.

I was just about to try downloading Gingerbread AOSP today, but I found out that apparently you have to have a 64-bit system to even build their code. I had thought I was doing well with my Core Duo T2300 1.66GHz/1GB/320GB, but after looking at Gingerbread build requirements and their mailing list where they ruthlessly bandy about numbers like 4GB of RAM like its commonplace, I realize I really need an upgrade. Hopefully prices will fall after Chinese New Year.

Video of Browser on E Ink Android kit with Google Search

I've uploaded a video of Browser running on the E Ink Android kit with Google Search and hitting various stuff like Ars Technica, Google Image Search, Google News and others. youtube被大陆屏蔽了。所以我用土豆。我欢迎您的意见。I'm interested in projects around this.

E Ink AM350 Android Kit

E Ink's latest AM350 development kit is up and about. Looks great, an E Ink Pearl film using an Epson controller with Armada PXA166E running full Android with touchscreen (inductive underlay so it retains full display quality) and WiFi. It looks like 2011 is starting out as an exciting year for e-paper devices.
