Debian on mobile devices |
 |
One of the topics up for discussion at the DebConf17 conference was Debian on mobile devices. W. Martin Borgert reports that over 50 people gathered to discuss Debian running on handheld devices. "Work on Debian for mobile devices, i.e. telephones, tablets, and handheld computers, continues. During the recent DebConf17 in Montréal, Canada, more than 50 people had a meeting to reconsider opportunities and challenges for Debian on mobile devices. A number of devices were shown at DebConf: PocketCHIP: A very small handheld computer with keyboard, Wi-Fi, USB, and Bluetooth, running Debian 8 (Jessie) or 9 (Stretch). Pyra: A modular handheld computer with a touchscreen, gaming controls, Wi-Fi, keyboard, multiple USB ports and SD card slots, and an optional modem for either Europe or the USA. It will come pre-installed with Debian. Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G: An Android smart phone featuring a physical keyboard, which can already run portions of Debian userspace on the Android kernel. Kernel upstreaming is on the way. ZeroPhone: An open-source smart phone based on Raspberry Pi Zero, with a small screen, classic telephone keypad and hardware switches for telephony, Wi-Fi, and the microphone. It is running Debian-based Raspbian OS." More information on the efforts to port Debian to mobile devices can be found in the news post.
