Software Type

I'm looking to download some software onto my XDAII, but on the Tucows site there are different downloads:
SH3 / ARM / MIPS
Which one is right for my device & why?

ARM - don't know why.. I assume it's the type of cpu your phone uses.. I also assume that all moderm pda's use the ARM cpu..

if I 'm not wrong
ARM: Intel StrongArm CPUs for WM based OS
MIPS: for Palm OS based devices
SH3: for Windows CE devices

is it rather XScale 400MHz cpu XDA II is using and not ARM ?
my rough guess and information on various www sites confirm that .... it is DIFFERENT :wink: cpu as compared to XDA I
regards, monika

intel xcale cpu which the xda2 use is code compatible with arm which xda1 use
the sh3, arm, mips are bins
for the most common cpu platforms on pda
much like in the linux world where you can get bins for alpha, powerPC, i386,........
if you got a compiler you can make your own bins if you have access to the sourcecode

hmmm, but even on Tucows there is a section dedicated to ...
X-Scale processor so why bother to compile source code ?? assuming of course, you have one ...

How to read Omap speed

I've a small but very useful program for Xscale PDAs and now i'm poting it to Omap ones: http://personales.ya.com/beemer/xscalemonitor.htm
It's working now on my S200, with all of its features but the CPU speed bar colour.
What I need is information about the Omap processor, its speed registries, or some sample code that reads/sets the omap speed as omapclock.exe does.
Thanks.

Hidden hardware requirement

Hello,
while trying to run W8 on my Tablet PC (Toshiba Portege M200) I came across "hidden" hardware requirement - PAE and thus NX bit support.
It came with Consumer Preview, Developer Preview didn't have this requirement.
It stops right after it starts booting with error 0xC0000260.
The problematic CPUs are all Pentium Ms with 400MHz FSB. (And I have one of those damnit!)

control the frequency of processor cores MX4 Pro

I am looking for an opportunity to control the frequency of processor cores. (downward (1.6 -1.3Ghz)
Of interest are any methods - special tools, editing system files of replacement of system files, patches.

My Windows 10 VM on Virtual Box keeps freezing.

I don't know exactly how good these forums will be for VM's, so if you know of a better place where I can seek out help, I would be very grateful to know about it.
I am no expert to VM's, but I needed one, and I gave it a shot.
I couldn't find any advanced, in-detail tutorials on this, so my settings are the most reasonable I could find.
Despite it running quite well, it tends to freeze up after a while. This used to happen to my attempt at making an Android VM as well, and I don't know what could be causing it.
I have attached the log for the VM and these are my PC specs and VM settings:
PC:
32 GB RAM | 2 slots
AMD Ryzen 7 2700 CPU
NVidia GeForce RTX 2070
VM
32 MB of video memory
VBoxSVGA graphics controller
no 3D acceleration
4096 MB RAM
2 processors
100% execution cap
Nested VT-x/AMD-V enabled
KVM Paravirtualization Interface
Hardware Virtualization enabled (enabled in BIOS as well)
Those are really all the settings that I see relevant.
Please provide a configuration that could help me if mine has the incorrect settings, or notify me if I'm lacking a setting that is crucial for VM's or something.
If you know of a better place to find answers, again, please let me know.
Thank you all for your help!
