is the 8125 StrongARM & XScale processor? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

hi. i am confused. i see in specs that it is OMAP. i wanted to install a game that requires either strongarm or xscale.
will it work?

i haven't had any issues with anything not working on the omap. there really aren't any programs that still have installers for separate processors like they used to though...mips and sh3 or something
everything is just an installer or a generic cab it seems

The 8125's OMAP processor is ARM enabled. ARM is a common api supported by many mobile processors from Intel and TI which allows for code portability between the platforms.

@hackers:TI OMAP double core - task switching to other proc

@all hacker in the community
TI OMAP - all new HTC devices have this processor inside - is a dual core processor. Is it possible to switch some tasks which are loaded maybe from the OS to the main core processor to the second core from OS point of view?
Repeating tasks can be switched - the result is a performance gain on the other core...
MPx200 use TI OMAP710
main core used for OS
second core used for RADIO
HP iPAQ has several devices with dual core
but I didn't find how to use DSP TI 55xx core under Win CE
under Emb Linux OS - there are several ways how to do it. And they are "opened" and easy to use.
I think it has to be presented as some SDK... - but where is it?
onk
btw, in MPX200 2nd ARM core uses ATI NUCLEUS rtos, which is quite "hackable/reversible" :lol:
Nucleus is also used on himalaya/blueangel and maybe other HTC devices

ARM MIPS or SH3?

Hi,
When i will install a program and they have 3 cabs
for a ARM, MIPS or SH3.
What kind can i use for my HTC Hermes 300 (MDA Vario 2)?
Is ARM MIPS and SH3 a processor type?
Thanks for helping.

Yes and it's ARM you want.

Wow, it's been a *long* time since I've seen someone ask that question. If you don't mind my asking, what software are you trying to install? It sounds like something from early Pocket PC era or even before that when they were called "Palm Sized PC's". Pretty much everything these days is ARM compatable, regardless of processor to avoid the problem of developers having to assemble three separate executables.
If I remember correctly the last WinCE machines to have Hitachi (SH3) processors were the HP500 (Palm sized) and HP600 (Handheld) series. MIPS? I think the long gone (but fondly remembered) Casio's used them.
i install AlarmClock Ver. 0.04
is the only freeware program i can find
it's better then the build in alarm.
that goes off before i have the change to awaken. . .
ahaha!
I remember my Casio Cassiopeia EM505 !!!
PocketPC 2000....mips!
Some Freewares softwares

I think you didn't moved to this site and some others but I like this one coz it is totally free or some high quality software with shareware. Also you will find the incredible work of xda-developers there. I don't know if it is their owned site or they are being taken to that site somehow. Here is the link

Windows 95 or 98se emulation?

Is there currently a working emulator for either of these operating systems available for windows mobile 6?
I've tried searching all I can and have found no answers yet.
HAHAHAHAHahahahah.... ah, but seriously, no.

Do you realize thats the equivalent of asking if my pc can emulate a cray mainframe? Running one windows 95 program would use up all the memory and cpu your entire phone has and then some.
Don't make the mistake of thinking a 200mhz arm processor = 200mhz pentium..the pentium is 1000 times faster and keep in mind the average phone has 20-30 meg of memory...the average pc...ok..even a dog old pentium 150 typically had 128 meg of ram available.
Now do you see why the first poster is laughing at you?

I had a pentium 90 with 16mb ram.
but anyway, I've seen someone running windows 95 on a pocket pc

dont know if it works on wm6 but it looks like you need a large storage card, a lot of patience, a great cpu, lots of memory and a vga screen at least.
good luck
Its not so hard to believe is it?
I had it running on my PSP, so why not my ppc?
Okay, well in that case, whats the best software to access your PC through the internet on your ppc? I used to have this software that worked via wifi for my PSP that would let me operate my windows machine with the psp, but I cant remember its name, and thats not QUITE what im looking for. I want one that will work NON wifi as well
you can use pocketdos or dosbox with bochs plugin to make win95 work. Nevertheless you wont get any decent speed on it.

You are probably referring to VNC and there are plenty of clients that run on ppc.

Yep and your gonna trash the storage card in a short amount of time due to all the read/writes since it's basically using it as a huge swapfile.
there's the emulator of win32-x86 for win32-arm platform. it called wow86 and developed by GreateVK. it is not ready-to-use product yet. but it successfully run some (even simple) x86-applications without modifications.
p.s. wow86 and applications should be placed into the root folder of your device

the PSP has a lesser speed MIPS processor than some of the available ppc's today.
MIPS being the old one we don't use anymore.
and look at what IT can do, without anything but that to run it's games.
and take a look at the NEC MobilePro 900C.
it has an Intel PXA255 400MHz processor, and runs windows ce .net 4.2.
which basically has the same interface as windows xp with classic skins and does alot of the same things (e.g. the full desktop ms office apps).
i think we underestimate the possibility of today's pxa270 624mhz processors and the mobile graphics chips.
but yer, pocketdos and the likes have shown to run windows 95 and 98.
if they were more optimized it could be a possibility to run basic apps and find a way to convert the instruction set to run more complicated apps.
"(e.g. the full desktop ms office apps)."
maybe more full then the office mobile
but i doubt ms would ever compile a full office
nor a full windows for the arm based instructionset
the asm codes are not the same
all the software needs a full recompile to work
unless a full emulator is being used
the maintaince expenses for ms to make something like that
would be staggering
when ms first made windows CE all devices which had CE had the same GUI as NEC MobilePro 900C
but nobody was buying the devices people pref'd the palm way of operating their pda's
so ms made pocketpc series
this was not a step down it was a step besides
CE is not any closer to real windows then pocketpc series it's just different
it's the same core it's the same everything but imput and gui

All very true..but the person asking has a tmobile wing which is a 200 mhz arm chip. The low end of the spectrum (I should know as I have the MDA which is the same chip) and it's gonna run a PC emulator like that CRAPPY as all get out. It has a hard enough time emulating a gameboy. Also in the end would still be easier to "optimize" the code into a ppc version then to try to run bloated regular windows programs where they stopped caring about resources a long time ago.

If you want the full version of MS Office, you can try porting Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org or http://porting.openoffice.org) to Windows Mobile. I'm sure a lot of us here at XDA-Developers would like to see that happen.
i guess that it would be easier to compile it for linux on our phones
being that i think the wm win32 stk is more limited then linux is terms
of which components are alowed

Windows 95 programme on Athena? help?

Hi Guys,
i am trying to get a Win95 programme, specifically Panzer general working on my athena, using PB Dual 3.0...not seeming to have alot of luck, got the protected msg error with pocketdos...
i cant seem to find a way, its a way old programme and the athena is 10x more powerful then min specs in every way
any help?
a 400Mhz arm based cpu cant hold a cantle to a 400Mhz x86 cpu
mhz is not everything
is there no way? i mean the programme has been ported for palm, it only required a 66mhz iirc, i am sure a 600mhz must be able to cope with it?
iirc correctly it ran with dos 6 too!

windows 8 on the tegra processor?

I know they current supports arm but his about the Tehran. has anyone attempted to install windows 8 on the thrive? thanks.
Not yet. I have read some information that basically says, yes, it will support ARM processores and many others, but will not have full Windows compatability unless it is running on an x86 processor. On others, it will be nothing more than a wide screen phone. Only the phone apps will work on it.
