KiCAD autorouter freeroute has gone open source and stand alone
by joem 12 May '15

KiCAD autorouter freeroute has gone open source and stand alone For Ubuntu 12.04, install the default-jdk i.e. sudo apt-get install default-jdk The freeroute files can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/nikropht/FreeRouting/ Need to unzip and compile .java files for which there is a script The following needs to be put into a bash script - e.g. compile_freeroute.sh: #!/usr/bin/env bash # # Credits: http://www.freerouting.net/fen/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=255 # (A message written by forum user "foka" on 2014-03-23) # # This has been hacked together in a few minutes after reading the post above. # # 1. Check prerequisites: if [ ! -f /usr/share/java/jh.jar ] \ || [ ! -f /usr/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar ] then sudo apt-get install javahelp2 icedtea-netx-common fi # 2. Compile: if javac -classpath /usr/share/java/jh.jar:/usr/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar \ `find -type f -name "*.java"` then jar cfe fr.jar gui.MainApplication \ `find -type f \( -name "*.class" -o -name "*.properties" \)` else echo "*** Some .java file was not compiled. See above" 1>&2 exit 1 fi # 3. Run: java -jar fr.jar Then run bash compile_freeroute.sh and you got stand alone freeroute! :) Related links are these: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1290022 https://github.com/32bitmicro/Freerouting http://www.freerouting.net/fen/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=255 Now you can make your own freedom CPU boards and design it with 100% free software and share designs! :) :)

The future of EOMA-68
by gacuest＠gmail.com 05 May '15

05 May '15

I have seen that are developing several EOMA-68, but all have very little power or are old (like A20, JZ4775 or IC1T). This makes that many people that are looking for powerful hardware is left out of the EOMA-68 market. What is the future of EOMA-68? Any EOMA-68 with a powerful hardware (like Tegra X1 or Intel Bay-Trail)?

hi folks, ok - does anyone know of any companies that sell Libre or FSF-Endorseable hardware? i have thinkpenguin, laclinux, hardware-libre.fr and inatux.com on the list already, i am looking to contact companies that would like to help sponsor these projects, it is very close so i would like to keep going full-time on them now. also, can i ask people a huge favour: would people be willing to write some testimonials in support of the work that i am doing, so that they can be published on the rhombus-tech.net web site, as that would help enormously. many many thanks, l.

found a decent contract usa contract manufacturer, yaay
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 03 Apr '15

i've been introduced to a really good team, who are definitely on the ball, we're going through parts-sourcing for them with their favourite suppliers, already, i've only just met them 1/2 a day ago. this in contrast to "um we'll get back to you" and 4 months later still waiting. so *finally* we should have results (quotes), that means being able to move on the crowd-funding for the micro-desktop. l.
