guruplug and sheevaplug compatibility

[slore]

I'm openning a new topic to ask if the apps developed for the guruplug work properly also on the elder version of plugcomputer (shevaplug) because i own one of it and i won't buy the guruplug...

Sorry for my bad bad english and thanks for answers

What apps are you referring to? Both Guru and Sheeva share the same CPU, so binaries compiled for one should execute on the other.

I'm refferring to future apps that will be developend for the guruplug because i've got sheevaplug and i won't buy the guruplug

Any application that depends on unique GuruPlug functionality (BT/Wifi/2 ethernet ports/ESATA/etc.) would fail if the same functionality were not added to the original Plug.  However, as tylernt said, binaries should work across both devices since the CPUs are the same.  Again, it comes down to which applications you are talking about.

If you mean all apps that COULD be developed for the GuruPlug, the answer is no.

If you mean all apps that don't depend on specific GuruPlug hardware capabilities, the answer is yes.

Does this help?
