Ce choix nous permet avec le 'Special developer edition firmware' http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates.html?country=fr&lang=fr
For ARCHOS Generation 8 devices only:
Important notices to be acknowledged before downloading and installing the SDE firmware:
* Once the SDE firmware is installed on a device, this device will be watermarked and ARCHOS will be able to detect that this firmware has been installed once.
* Installing the SDE firmware is considered by ARCHOS as a voiding of the warranty and ARCHOS declines all liability and responsibility for any issues resulting from the installation of this SDE firmware.
* ARCHOS strongly advises that only experts in embedded software development should install this firmware.
* This firmware is provided "as is" and is not supported by ARCHOS.
The SDE firmware MUST be installed using the recovery menu. The recovery is triggered by powering on the device while pressing the 'volume down' button (or 3 consecutive short press on the power button for the A28). In order to install the new firmware, the "Update firmware" option needs to be selected by navigating up and down the items with the 'volume up' and 'volume down' buttons and then executing the selection with a short press on the power button. Once in this mode, the device can be connected to a PC and will act as a mass storage device where the .aos firmware file can be uploaded. Once this step is done, press on the power button again to launch the installation process.
Once the SDE firmware is installed, powering on the device while pressing the 'volume down' button will now trigger a "Boot Menu". This menu allows to select which Operating System is to be launched (Android, the newly installed Developer Edition or the Recovery System). If the device is powered on while pressing jointly the 'volume down' and the 'volume up' buttons, the Developer Edition will be launched. If the device is powered on without any other button pressed, Android will be launched.
Installing a new legacy (Android) ARCHOS firmware WILL NOT remove the SDE firmware. In order to uninstall the SDE, boot into the recovery using the Boot Menu, select "Developer Edition Menu", then "Uninstall Developer Edition".

piste buildroot fournie par Archos

de builroot et gen8 source sur ubuntu 10-10
Dans ce cas nous retrouvons buildroot et le systeme de cross compilation comme OpenWRT que nous utilisions pour les Fonera cf bricoles.du-libre.org

L'idée est de contourner l'usage d'android et de ne s'en servir que comme interface d'affichage. Pour ce faire on va installer une couche X linux et un terminal vnc android. Cela nous permettra d'installer ensuite nos composants, python, gcc, pd etc. C'est une solution qui fonctionne si il n'y a pas besoin d'opengl à cause des limites de VNC.
Il y a une solution android NDK pour ensuite compiler autre chose que du java dans l'environnement .
En résumer pour le moment c'est un peu chaud …
Cette piste serait une ouverture vers du matériel divers, ne nécessitant qu'android et donc assez fermé, comme nous l'avons découvert avec les tablettesPC chinoises.
Ce n'est sans doute pas dans notre logique qui serait de dédier des objets aux jeux, pour leur donner une dimension plus personnelle. l'idée n'est pas de jouer entre deux bus, sans se concentrer, sans s'immerger completement, mais bien de vivre le plus intensément possible les séances de jeux. Un matériel complètement prévu pour le jeu sera plus simple à maintenir et à suivre.
