Android, Chrome OS, and Ubuntu United in One Platform
With so many exciting new operating systems to choose from today, it can be tough to settle on just one--particularly if you're an open source fan. Recently, however, Always Innovating has created an option that allows users to avoid choosing altogether. A new platform demonstrated recently by the company on YouTube (video below) combines Canonical's Ubuntu and Google's Android and Chrome OS with its own, custom Linux-based operating system to offer a quad-boot alternative.Yes, that's four operating systems in one, downloadable for free from Always Innovating's site in just 2.04GB.
Dubbed Super-Jumbo, the new offering was designed for the Beagle Board, a high-performance, low-power and open source computer produced by a community including Texas Instruments and distributed by Digi-Key. Priced at $149, the Beagle Board is a fanless, single-board computer based on TI's OMAP3530 system-on-a-chip, which in turn uses the ARM Cortex-A8 core.
Also compatible with Always Innovating's own Touch Book and Smart Book hardware, Super-Jumbo is a single image that provides four operating systems fully optimized for the third-generation OMAP chip: Google's Android 2.3, or Gingerbread; Ubuntu Linux 10.10, or Maverick Meerkat; Chrome OS; and Always Innovating's own AIOS, which is a fork of the Ångström Linux distribution built for embedded devices.
The platform represents the first time Chrome OS has ever been released for the OMAP3 generation of processors, the company says.
