How can you boot an ARM-compiled Linux in a conventional computer?
- jablan 15y agoBoot _from_ it, not _boot it_, I guess. Using it just as a thumb drive.
- miahi 15y agoWhy would you do that? To use precious SD storage to install yet another x86 OS to painfully slowly (10-20MB/s and huge latency) boot up another computer, that in 99.99% of the cases already has an OS. And I don't think they implemented a shared storage between such a computer and the embedded one through the USB storage interface.
- sciurus 15y agoI think you're actually booting both your computer and the Cotton Candy from their internal storage, then using something like VNC on your computer to access Cotton Candy.
