AT91SAM9260 and QT

Started by "kri...@rocketmail.com" July 5, 2010
I`m new to Linux and ARM9 (not ARM7)
sorry if this is a silly question.
AT91SAM9260`s maximum frequency is 200-210 MHZ,
will this be sufficient for running a QT Application with Touch Screen?
or should i use AT91SAM9G20 upto 400MHZ.
what is the minimum requirement for a QT Application with Touch Screen?

Minimum requirement of the following things

1.CPU Power
2.RAM
3.ROM

200 MHZ is ok, 300 MHZ is ideal and 400 MHZ is better. These are *very*
subjective definitions, someone else may find 200 MHZ unacceptable. In the
end, Qt can work with 200 MHZ.

Minimum is 32 MB.

At least I know that it is working with 32MB and I don't think 16 MB is enough
for running a full featured build of Qt.

Installing all Qt components(Gui, Network, Webkit, etc) can consume ~60 MB on
a compressed file system(with Glibc).

More important factor you didn't ask is screen resolution. I don't know 9G20
but AFAIR 9261 is using system bus for LCD whereas 9263 is using a seperate
bus. So 9263 is better when it comes to GUI applications. If you are after a
QVGA resolution it should be fine, for higher you need to check some
documents.
