EOMA68 rough campaign assessment
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

http://rhombus-tech.net/crowdsupply/assess_campaign.py with some very rough costs on shipping and testing, and assuming $10k NREs, there's about $6k spare at the moment. that'll be "living in taiwan" costs (where i wouldn't need to be paying rent) and the $10k includes "getting to taiwan". it's *just* doable... barely. which is why we need to raise more. l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

favour to ask of people, could you possibly take a look here and help answer some of these https://bbs.boingboing.net/t/a-free-open-computer-on-a-card-that-you-swap-i… my comments were accidetntally deleted because their auto-spam-bot got over-aggressive (new account, lots of helpful URLs for people when answering their questions) but then someone also "flagged" one of my responses and the staff didn't check. .. oops :) anyway i'm waiting for them to restore the account but the timer's ticking down, and i'm currently dealing with a high temperature. could people please chip in and answer some of the queries, c/f the archives here? thx. l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

ARM Cortex-A15

Hallo Luke, surely you know the ARM Cortex-A15. I would like the drawbacks of the PYRA. Can you please, if you have the time, tell me something about it. Especially the GPU, are there any gpl violations of the producers of the Cortex A15 and why you did not choose it for the eoma68. I do not find it in your comparison of the processors. Many thanks!

pass-through card
by Wolfgang Romey (hier) 05 Aug '16

05 Aug '16

Hello Luke, is the pass-through card usable with the Micro Desktop Housing too? If yes, I think it makes sense to mention it clearly on the crowsupply page. BTW: Are you still working on making freedombox run on the eoma68?

EOMA68 phoronix

05 Aug '16

yay! the slashdot article seems to have gone (still going) well - waaa took up my entire day responding to people, but it's resulted in a big jump from $52.5 to $55.2 and still going. now... the next person to poke a stick at would be michael larabel, he was so funny saying "awww darn it, you guys keep bugging me about that damn eoma68 thing, ahh i suppooose i'd better write an article theeeen"... if anyone feels so inclined, feel free to poke him with a stick again, point out that the discussion on his forum was huge (20 pages, 200 comments) and that i refer people to it all the time as the technical discussions on there are really valuable, so it gets _him_ some exposure for his site.... l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

Questions

Hello Luke I have questions: Whrere is the OS which is delivered with thwe eoma68 stored? Surely one can update it and install additional software? Can I boot different OSs? Which Kernel will be delivered? I see, that you are trying the 4.7 kernel? Will it be possible to activate the 3D acceleration on the debian card? Thanks in advance.
