Iteadstudio doing A20 SOM board
by joem 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Totally lovely :) http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im140725004.html Personally I think if they want to make their mark, they should reduce the price to $39.99. (I'm still stuck for time doing my KiCAD version of one, and even if I get time, the newer versions would probably drop the edge connector and aim for a couple of FPC connectors.)

Phone Blocks?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

https://phoneblocks.com hmm, your thoughts? mine? well I am concerned that it will be status quo software wise and so not libre. but if they do software freedom then I'm not sure what it would mean for eoma-*. I suppose at least eoma-* has the advantage of getting to market sooner from the looks of things at phoneblocks - doesn’t look like they have anything any time soon and we do need a decent answer now with climate change/heating needing huge action now and all that. Come to think of it I guess eoma-68 will still have it's low cost market?

has been finished and is ready for assembly to first prototypes but due to the contract not being renewed here where i work it cannot be paid for. if there is anyone who would like to help get it into the upcoming crowdfunding campaign the cost is $USD 3,600. l.

Indie?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 12 Oct '14

https://ind.ie they have been on my hit list for sometime. I think/recommend they would make a very good partner. they have really good band & marketing. they handle user experience (software) and are building a strong brand. they have shown a strong commitment to free software ideas (gplv3) but I am concerned that the first phone might be status quo hardware (non-free drivers and firmware) but we/I shall see. There first software release is only on osx first, gnu/linux and m$ later. I guess thats the system they are currently more familiar with and future releases will be umm more preferable :D

Existing Projects, Products That Could Be A EOMA-68 Device
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

I find my self coming across projects that are using a SOM that I think could have been a eoma-68. all those lost orders that would have made all the difference in getting cards rolling off the production line at a preferable price and into many peoples hands. todays example: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modduo/mod-duo-the-limitless-multi-eff…

http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/micro_desktop/news/ minor rework for production purposes, the 5 prototypes however should be good enough for testing and demo purposes for the crowdfunding campaign which will start early november. l.

Microdesktop PCBs back from assembly
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 10 Oct '14

http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/micro_desktop/news/ ok so now we have: * EOMA68-A20 CPU Card * EOMA68-IC1t CPU Card * Micro-Desktop base unit testing begins when the micro-desktop base arrives, and the crowd-funding campaign will begin early next month if all functionality passes 100%. the EOMA68-A20 CPU card is not expected to require any rework (it's about the 4th revision as it is): the micro-desktop however is 1st revision and will need at least one minor correction (VGA connector). l.

A biggish 3D printer on kickstarter

A biggish 3D printer on kickstarter: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/wpt-3d-printer-professional-printer-for-… Big enough to print out complete eoma netbook or gadget box for USD600 (with all the risks of spending money on kickstarter projects). 250x250x300mm print volume I ordered one :)

Typos and flex funding. I wouldn't touch it personally.

Flexible funding always strikes me as missing the point of a crowdfunding campaign and treating the crowdfunding site as merely an advertising and preorder site. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook(a)lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netbook(a)files.phcomp.co.uk
