Hello
We are looking at using Sailfish OS on generic RockChip tablets (if possible).
Our use cases are mainly industrial and commercial IoT type applications.
Currently we use Debian (not touch friendly) for industrial devices and Android in some of the commercial application devices.
If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Another blog writer pretending to ask technical questions. Are you genuine or just here to slowly slip spam on the forum?
Edz, sorry to disappoint, not a blog writer - have used this handle for a long time.
perhaps you can look up techwryte.com
kind of disappointing people making judgments based on name!?
We get a lot of spam on this forum. This is a public forum, I’m as free as you are to post comments. If you are genuine, then there is no problem. I’ve already looked at techwryte.com which is where my assumption comes from.
no problem. if you had looked at the about, it might have clarified.
Do hardly any posts. my full time job is running a software company.
back to the point,… we are looking at sailfish as a possible os for our panel PCs which we use IoT use cases.
currently we use Debian with OSK, which is kind of pain for panel PCs which is only touch
No problem also!, no, I did not click your “About” on your site, I saw “Blogs” and thought here we go!, but hey, anyone can make a few webpages posing as being legitimate and still be posting spam all over the place.
I admin for a software site that offers up SailfishOS apps from and by users of SFOS, I kick spammers off at least 5 times a day, from penis pills to window cleaning, but mainly they post under the guise of “bloggers” or as a small business, most of which does not belong on a software site, so yes, I am instantly suspicious, so few are genuine, even those with their own “websites”.
I can’t help with technical details regarding your question. I would go as far to say; I don’t think SFOS is reliable enough for commercial/industrial applications, in my limited opinion. Perhaps others here will chime in. Good luck!
I think you should talk directly to the Jolla team guys. They can give all the answers you need.
And hey… don’t take Edz’s personal opinion about SFOS reliability to serious. It is a personal opinion that many others don’t share.
Thank you Edz for your help (will keep looking).
there is a need for a Linux touch o/s for automation / IoT devices with long term security updates capability.
Thank you Eson.
I also feel that SFOS is capable of handling our requirements.
We only need a touch GUI wrapper around Linux - which is there.
Will reach out to Jolla team
You might also want to look at https://postmarketos.org/, it should allow building something rather custom.
