FOSDEM 2018, Stand / Talks / BoFs - ssistance / volunteers needed
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 09 Dec '17

09 Dec '17

ok so thank you to wim for prompting me about FOSDEM 2018, i've applied for a stand there and also put in 3 talks in the "hardware track". now, here's the thing: taking 50kg of equipment to Shenzhen Maker Faire was... well... it wasn't fun. the actual faire, fine, but decanting that much equipment FORTY TIMES on international plane flights, taxis, buses, trains and walking around 3km in total, definitely wasn't. so a heads-up: this time i'll be bringing around 30kg on a 10,000km *international* overnight flight: if i'm going to FOSDEM 2018 i will definitely, definitely need some assistance getting to and from brussels airport to the hostel, and from there to the university. also, if anyone is already attending or is planning to attend, i'll need help covering the stand. last time another person named wim helped out, which was amazing of him, he just happened to be the person at the stand next door :) _also_.... what would really make it worth-while would be, if anyone's interested, to do a BoF: discuss and plan what needs to be done and so on. any thoughts and assistance appreciated. l.

New 3d printing technique
by Bill Kontos 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

I don't know how far in your 3d printer design you are Luke, or even if something like this is useful/feasible( it's a completely different extruder and servos), but I'm leaving it here for future reference. http://news.mit.edu/2017/new-3-d-printer-10-times-faster-commercial-counter… The actual paper is unfortunately behind a paywall.

pocketchip's keyboard for pc card?
by ronwirring＠Safe-mail.net 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

https://getchip.com/pages/pocketchip I have been told, the pocketchip's keyboard is i2c. Can you connect the keyboard to the pcmcia/eoma68 breakout board? Then configure the keyboard's keys using a piece of software? I asked the chip company if they would sell a version of the pocketchip having an usb keyboard and no display. A version like that would be useful for people, should they want to combine a pocketchip with a raspberry pi, pc card or other computer. The chip company has not answered. Thanks.

Top Priority Software Tasks
by Adam Van Ymeren 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hey Luke, As I eagerly await the preproduction board, I figure it would be a good idea to touch base on what needs doing on the software side. I've started looking at http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/source_code/ for inspiration. But I'd like to know which tasks are a priority for you to deliver the current crowd supply pledges. Cheers! Hope the Shenzen was fun. -Adam

Re: [Arm-netbook] HDMI High-Frequency Layout: Recommendations Vias Moveable?
by Richard Wilbur 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

Working on the high-frequency taper, a couple things have been bothering me--the two ground vias circled in the attached picture. Are they either optional or moveable? If so, even moving them East or Northeast takes some pressure off the taper. If not, we'll work around them but it is a little more complicated. Richard

Interested in pre-production unit for GNU Guix
by Eric Bavier 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Hello lkcl, (Resending to list, hopefully it makes it this time) We have a GNU Guix developer who is interested in working on bootloader and general software support in GuixSD for the EOMA68-A20. If there is still a pre-production unit available, please get in touch so we can work out how to get them set up. I've agreed to finance the hardware. Thanks, `~Eric Bavier

I guess > he would be interested in a pre-production unit too. i've only got around six or seven available of the 2.7.4 units, or thereabouts. i need to keep two, one as a backup in case one gets damaged (it happens). one way round that would be to use a VPN (i run one), set up the unit at one location and rsync packages over to it for testing in a chroot environment on the card. it'll... need a little coordination :) or, i could in theory set up one of the two i need to keep hold of here in TW and leave it switched on 24x7? > I'm currently working on porting GuixSD on a BBB and have almost > succeded to boot it.

https://www.sifive.com/products/risc-v-core-ip/u54-mc/ What can we expect from this cpu? There is no gpu, you cannot get a board which has a display port?

Just noticed this: https://bitbucket.org/casl/shakti_public/ Probably worth keeping it in mind for the next couple years.
