Microsoft

Microsoft plans to give windows 8.1 licenses for free (or at least I undestand so)for certain devices. These are tablets under 9" and what is more interesting windows embedded and certain windows for IOT (internet of things) that is suppose to be released this spring (but I dont really understand what is it). In best case scenario hardware like EOM68 you make will have more opportunities. But since this is Microsoft I suppose there is a catch somewhere, probably they plan to charge cloud or something else. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/04/build-2014-a-very-dif… https://www.windowsondevices.com/ <lasich(a)gmail.com>

MIPI?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

what does it mean for EOMA that small high res displays are switching to MIPI? Context: I was chating to some techys and that was a problem with the display interface of EOMA but then I think I said eoma was lvds when it's this rbg/ttl thing. I got confused. I did say eoma was rbg/ttl later but I didn't get a reply regarding that so I don't know. I don't know what I'm talking about hardware wise. (I did tell them.).

7inch Tablet Layout suggestion

L.S. Just put some thoughts to paper. http://imgur.com/a/z98zJ Just a mock-up, nothing thoroughly engineered Notes: 1. Make the battery exchangeable. 2. Reuse cheap cellphone batteries (mass produced) in adapter sleeves. 2. Make the network interface exchangeable. 3. Make adapter sleeves for the most common cellphone batteries. Some benefits: - Batteries have differing lifespans than screens/cpu's/network systems. - Battery technology evolves rapidly. - Every new cellphone has a different battery format. Cheap sleeves can be made to accommodate the cheapest available battery. - Wireless/Wired network technologies are abundand and evolve rapidly. - The wifi dongle can be exchanged with a wired variant - The wifi dongle can be exchanged with an new network technology bg/n/ac 5ghz channels etc - The wifi dongle can be exchanged with an roaming network service, 2G, 2.5G, 3G, 4G. - The wifi dongle does not need to be pre bundeled. User can choose his/hers own - The wifi dongle can be exchanged with a usb camera low or highend The bottom USB slots can be used as a connector for charging stations, docking stations, keyboard docks, dual screen, etc. P.S. It's been awfully quite around here..... Kr, Mike

ICE xPC Modular Computer
by Jean-Luc Aufranc 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

There's a project whose concept is somewhat similar to EOMA-68, but they are using Intel bay trail CPUs for now. That's the Indiegogo page with all details: http://igg.me/at/icecomputer/x/1760545 For a summary, you can check my blog: http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/01/19/ice-xpc-modular-x86-computer-is-as-s… The campaign perks may be delivered too late in the future to be successful, but it's yet another project with modular CPU boards.

Re: [Arm-netbook] Another "new" ARM plateform (Simon Kenyon)
by Erix 19 Jan '14

Hello everybody step by step informations are coming out from this new "player". informations I could obtained from them are: for the LAN chip it is :AR 8035 for the WIFI chip is: RTL 8188EUS the "schematic" of the platform can be found here: http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/tbs2910/TBS2910-Matrix-ARM-mini-PC-… and how to install the O.S on it is here: http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/tbs2910/How-to-burn-a-new-OS-into-e… and about the GPIO, I've put a copy here: http://www.fishspirit.org/TBS2910MatrixARMminiPC/ and the other informations about the GPIO I've obtained are: [root@matrixtv ~]# ls /sys/devices/virtual/gpio/ gpiochip0 gpiochip160 gpiochip32 gpiochip96 gpiochip128 gpiochip192 gpiochip64 it's a bit "light" for the moment. so we'll see... I have a question about the miniPCie port included on this platform, what kind of interfaces/extensions can we find for it? (I googled about it, and most of them are SATA but there is already one on it, so ?...) is there someone to open my eyes?

AllWinner A31 and PowerVR Driver Development Kit
by Jean-Luc Aufranc 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Somebody from Imagination Technologies left a comment on my blog: http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/01/10/a80-optimusboard-features-allwinner-… The part related to this mailing list is: "Secondly, the links below contain DDK (Driver Development Kit) source packages distributed through our customers: ..... Rhombus Tech (1.10 onwards) http://git.rhombus-tech.net/?p=linux.git;a=tree;f=modules/eurasia_km;hb=163… " This repo points to something called eurasia_km for A31 Android 4.2. This is clearly related to the PowerVR GPU A31, but I don't really understand what can be done with this source. Would it be possible to use it with a Linux distribution, or the binary part still relies on the Android drivers? I've also seen Mele play 4K videos in Linux on AllWinner A31. Does that mean a Linux port with GPU and VPU support is technically feasible with what is available today?
