Re: Describe Your System

From Wear-Hard Mailing list Archive (WH) Maintained by R. Paul McCarty

I've been trying to figure that out. The chip inside has been
discontinued by the manufacturer (I think it's a Cirrus chip) so an
entirely new solution would have to be figured out. I looked into
USB2->VGA (reportedly working with USB1) but the darn thing is bigger
than the wearable and is actually a USB/PCI bridge! Not exactly
low-power, I don't think. My current hopes are pinned on Icuiti
(icuiti.com) who make a CF MicroOptical(-like?) display, but I'm
having a lot of trouble getting specs from them to write a Linux
driver. They have said they'll give them to me, but are very difficult
to communicate with.
