Hi group, Since some time I've wondered about using a small LCD monitor that connects via USB rather than VGA or DVI. They seem to be rare and somewhat pricey, but since they do exist I've always wondered whether Linux actually supports such thing, I certainly can't see it it my kernel. I also noticed that those "digital photoframes" nowadays have become very inexpensive. (~$30 & up). They all seem to have at least a USB (device) connection and an SD card slot. If thsi is not supported in Linux yet, has anyone ever wondered about using such cheap frame devices as small LCD monitor for eg. embedded use ? It seems this would be a fun open source project : to select a commonly available LCD photoframe, that (ideally) uses an ARM or so CPU/MCU and (even more ideal) has a JTAG connection. I guess it's possible they're some sort of custom SoiC in there. In absence of JTAG and suitable CPU, I'd be prepared to do a new PCB with suitable HW. Does anyone think this would be a viable idea ? Does anyone know where the best place/group would be to see if others want to join in on such a project ? I can't think of a better way to put some embedded Linux learning to practice.... I'm floating this here at first because I don't feel like joining yet another group, when it's not necessary... I hope that's acceptable.
