PIXIL PDA



The PIXIL PDA suite offers a complete PDA system including an Operating Environment, a full set of PIM applications, and extras you wouldn't expect including an e-mail client, web browser, and a set of multimedia applications. The Nano-X graphical windowing system is at the core of the PIXIL PDA solution. Unlike other windowing systems, Nano-X was engineered from the ground up specifically for embedded Linux. PIXIL PDA features minimal disk and RAM requirements, is designed for portability, and can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms including StrongARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SH, and x86 processors.

Download



iPAQ™ Demo Distribution
A binary distribution is available in RPM format for both the iPAQ itself and for x86-based Linux desktops running X11. The iPAQ binaries are downloaded onto the iPAQ using the serial link and replace the original operating environment.
iPAQ Compressed Archive Distribution (10,918 K)
iPAQ RPM Distribution (10,924 K)
iPAQ MD5 Library Compressed Archive (3 K)

iPAQ™ Desktop Environment
The desktop X11 binaries allow the evaluation and demonstration of the entire iPAQ environment within a 240x320 window on the desktop under KDE or Gnome. This is accomplished using the Nano-X X11 screen driver with all applications compiled for x86 rather than ARM.

x86 RPM Distribution (3,022 K)


Screenshots



The following examples illustrate the strength of the PIXIL PDA suite:


Screen Top



The ScreenTop application is what the user sees immediately after the system powers on. The screen top provides the basic look-and-feel for the entire PDA operation. This user interface is the basis by which the end user will start and switch between various applications on the PDA. All provided applications have a text application name and icon displayed on the screen. Applications are accessed under different categories, like PIMs, Games, System, etc. All icons, colors, and application can be easily modified. A customized status bar with icons is also displayed, which allows switching between applications, and running the on-screen keyboard or handwriting recognition input tool.
