[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Driver development for Maemo

[From: Dieter Govaerts]

Hello,

I'm a student computer science engineering at the university of Ghent 
Belgium. This year, I will be developing an application streaming system 
for mobile devices as my Master thesis. Currently, I'm looking for a 
suitable platform for which to develop my prototype. In my search I came 
across the Maemo platform which looks like a good option but I was 
unable to figure out if the platform is mature enough for my cause.

So, if someone would be so kind to provide me with some more information 
to enable me to better assess the suitability of Maemo for my prototype.

1) As is stands now, I would probably have to implement a virtual 
filesystem on the mobile device which would require me to develop the 
necessary systemdrivers for it. Is there a driver development kit 
available or is this included in the SDK?

2) Is it possible to develop such a driver in a reasonable timeframe? I 
don't want to spend a few years finishing my Master thesis. I'm not 
afraid to dig deep for this, I just want to know if it can be done by 1 
person or if its better to stick with M$ on this.

3) Is there any place or person were I can redirect my questions to 
regarding driver development for Maemo?

Kind regards,

Dieter Govaerts
