After reading this post at “Linux Today” I decided to install the so expected Linux version of Chrome, the Google’s browser.

As I use Arch Linux, I haven’t expected to have a compiled version linked directly by the chromium’s website. Instead, I was hoping Arch’s developers already packaged it. And, with no big surprises, they did. Just to clarify a thing before continuing: Chromium is the open source projected behind Chrome (which is not opensource).

HELLO WORLD!!

This is a re-post of a project I did. It’s still the same, no version upgrade. I’m putting it on this blog as I don’t update or track comments on the old one and people generally go there through google.

First of all I’d like to thank ST Microeletronics for give us the opportunity to work on a Linux driver for their chip STLC2590. All the documentation needed to write it was given by them. Thanks also to Patrick Bellasi, our tutor, which has tough us so much in regard to Linux driver development, APIs of …
