As it turns out, this also runs just fine on the AVR based Microtouch classic hardware.

Wikipedia reader for the Microtouch
Is the Microtouch compatible with Rossum's Wikipedia app (http://rossum.posterous.com/wikipedia-h ... -cortex-m0)?

Re: Wikipedia reader for the Microtouch
Thanks. I definitely want one. The right occasion to congrat for the astonishing work.
Any suggestion for a micro SD size and speed? I mean that will fit the indexed english wikipedia file(s)

Im waiting for this exemple too
I have some troubles to make text scroll.
The wikipedia reader seems to handle this very well !

Re: Wikipedia reader for the Microtouch
5 weeks and still no Wikipedia reader source for the Microtouch on github.
I swear I'll be more cautious next time I buy something...

Re: Wikipedia reader for the Microtouch
Seems like he didn't include the grinder tool to convert wikipedia's XML dumps, though.
As he said in his post on the Microtouch:
"An offline grinder tool converts xml dumps from wikipedia and other sources into a compressed text layout format that is digestible on a small device"
On github there's only a 64mb wiki.blb. Far from complete obviously
