Since Windows NT supports RISC CPU's, and the PPC CPU's are based on RISC, I was wondering if it is possible to somehow install Windows NT on an Pocket Pc.
What do you guy's think ?
Not snowball's chance in hell. NT was only ever built for x86, SPARC, MIPS and ALPHA (I think there may have been a couple of others) - never for any ARM cores. Same goes for Win 9x/ME/2k/XP/Vista/Whatever.
-- The only alternative OSes you are ever likely to see are *nix/BSD derivatives. --
yes, but what i meant is that nt supports risc cpu architecture. so thats why my question came up
fek NT - get ubuntu
so could i install ubuntu?
they got a new ubuntu-mobile edition comming up
would that work?

RISC Architecture is not a "standard" like x86, it's more a theory of processor archiecture design. Windows NT supported some RISC architecture processor families as it supported some CISC processors. One might argue that since it supported CISC, it should run on Motorola 680x0 or Natsemi 32016. Clearly it doesn't
You specificially said NT so this probably doesnt help, but there are tutorials and guides out there to help you get Win95/98 emulated and away on your PPC. Runs sub-par though, but if I recall this was done back in 2005, PPCs and emulating software might have come a long way since then..
Hello, my TouchPad has Ubuntu Chroot but I can't manage to install the Android SDK to be able to program on eclipse in my TouchPad, is it possible ? I believe Chroot lacks the ubuntu installer or something

It is still a _very_ slow computer compared with your PC. Why not do the compiling on your PC and remotely login from your touchpad (if you really like to use touchpad with bluetooth keyboard as a termninal)?

I wouldn't say very slow, with emphasis. My secondary craptop only has a 1.73 Ghz 1st gen dual core Intel processor w/ a 5 year old video card. I think the Touchpad could def. give it a run for its money. Very slow, with emphasis, to me is a Pentium 4 @ 2 Ghz or less and a GeForce 2 MX.

Not a fair comparison at all. Just because an ARM processor and the comparable x86 processor may have the same clock speed, it doesn't mean that they'll compete. The x86 architecture has been much more widely accepted and hence developed over the years. An x86 will beat out an ARM processor clock for clock until there's more development done for ARM.
Are you making sure to use a version of the android sdk that is compiled against ARM? Some of it is java, but there are some compiled native libraries too.
Eclipse is not the fastest IDE even on a PC. I mean my netbook runs it pretty sluggest and it's a higher end atom (2 cores). I think much more than vim or emacs would start to annoy me.
After installing the Ubuntu on the transformer prime, anyone no if it would be capable of playing DC Universe online....
Dc Universe Online does run on ubuntu I have it installed on my pc it run great. I was hoping to install ubuntu on my Prime and play DCUO on it.
I know the CPU is a quad core with 1gb ram and a hi end nvidia GPU
Through splashtop or a good remote desktop, then yes. As far as through Ubuntu installed on prime. Doubt it at the moment.
REASON: Ubuntu installs at the moment aren't true ones. They still run alongside Android. Therefore Ubuntu doesn't have access to full power of CPU n gpu. Once bootloader unlocked, then we can have dual boot. Once you dual boot into Ubuntu, then you will access to all power n resources of tegra3.
Can't hurt to try though. Let us know how it goes on current setup.
Also i think Ubuntu games are x86 applications, i'm not a linux expert though. But x86 games wont work on the prime no matter what software you're using, because they are not compatible with ARM CPUs. And tegra3 is ARM.
Onlive.

Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask. I haven't found anything similar until now.
I was experimenting with QEMU, x86 emulator on Android on my Asus Memo FHD tab which is already based on an x86 Atom architecture.
I see way slower speeds (unusable) than I read about arm based counterparts. I assume this is because QEMU assumes ARM architecture and the x86 atom is also emulating ARM.
-Is there an other way to emulate a complete x86 system faster on this architecture?
Thank you!

QEMU is extremely slow because it interprets and convferts code on the fly.
You would be better off to burn an iso of this http://sourceforge.net/projects/android-x86/files/Release 4.4/android-x86-4.4-RC1.iso/download
and burn it to usb stick with Unetbootin. THen boot off of that with a pc that can do so.

Thanks, running x86 virtual OS (Windows) on an android tablet sounded fun and I was just wondering if there is a more efficient solution for systems already based on x86. I guess there isn't.
Thanks!

Well, there is an emulator I use, but it is extremely slow also. We just don't have native virtualization acceleration support on our processors in the phones. Otherwise it would be lightning speed.

Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600589
Based on the specification the intel Atom Z2560 (x86) cpu supports virtualization, however there is not software to utilize this yet.
I hope this changes, it could be useful.
Looks like someone has already did it. I hope it'll be available for the public.

So I am fairly new to Android and ARM processors in general so this may be a completely idiotic question but if someone can give me an answer.
I have an old Hummingboard SOC board, I was wanting to run Android on it but the support from that company is quite poor with an official "supported Android" being the Kitkat version and nothing newer.
I know that Google announced it would be adding support for Raspberry PI boards way back in 2016 through their ASOP but I was wondering how this would translate to other SOC boards that aren't Raspberry PI?
I am a bit confused as to why it would matter just to run it since all SOC boards use an ARM processor and while the various peripherals such as the LAN, I/O Pinout, etc may not work or work properly due to lack of drivers I am confused about why wouldn't Android run at all?
For example, if I have an AMD or Intel Processor that is in x86 architecture and I want to run Windows I do not have to worry about the version of Windows or whether it supports the processor. Does this matter for SOC boards?
