Re: [Arm-netbook] Another ARM new baby on the market

Hi, for the 2 URL I gave earlier http://http://bananapi.org/# and http://http://www.lemaker.org/ it looks like they point to the same product. for buying it, there are plenty of vendors: http://www.alibaba.com/products/F0/banana_pi/----------------------50/3.html Thanks to Peter Green about his comment about Raspberry Pi's image: " You certainly aren't going to run an unmodified raspberry Pi image on the thing. It's a completely different SoC and will need a different kernel and bootloader. " It's clearly what I thought, but their synthaxes on their websites is deliberately not clear and maintains the ambiguity. Thanks to Peter. I saw somewhere on one of the 2 websites it's an Opensource project and they will "publish" sources for the images (SDCARDs) soon.. we'll see. The things that could be interessting it's examples of using the cameras port and the LVDS port and of course bootloader. so well, "nice.." website but not too much tecnical informations yet.. Bye bye for now Erix

Another ARM new baby on the market
by Erix 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Hi everybody, what do you think of this new toy? http://www.lemaker.org/ I must admit their communication is a bit "ambigious", especially when they're talking about the Raspberry Pi compatibility.. if it's about pinout compatibility, I would say great. but on some of their sentences/phrases, we could almost think you could run the same "images" (sdcard) or binaries... from the Raspberry Pi on their "Banana Pi".... They're saying they support Debian, Ubuntu, Android (4.4) but they don't give URL where to find all of these distros.. Caracteristics: CPU A20 ARM® Cortex™-A7 Dual-Core GPU ARM Mali400MP2 Complies with OpenGL ES 2.0/1.1 Memory (SDRAM) 1GB DDR3 (shared with GPU) Onboard Storage SD (Max. 64GB) / MMC card slot UP to 2T on SATA disk Onboard Network 10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ45 (optional USB WIFI Dongle) Camera Input A CSI input connector allows for the connection of a designed camera module Sound Input Mic Video Outputs HDMI, CVBS , LVDS/RGB Audio Output 3.5 mm Jack and HDMI Power Source 5 volt via MicroUSB(DC In Only) and/or MicroUSB (OTG) USB 2.0 Ports 2 (direct from Allwinner A20 chip) Buttons Reset button: Next to MicroUSB connector Power button: Next to Reset button UBoot button (optional): Behind HDMI connector GPIO(2X13) pin: GPIO,UART,I2C bus,SPI bus with two chip selects, CAN bus,ADC,PWM,+3.3v,+5v,ground. LED Power Status LED (Red) Ethernet Status LED (Blue) User Define LED (Green) Remote IR good things: LAN 10/100/1000, Sata, HDMI, CVBS , LVDS/RGB, Camera... Why not? I saw the price around 57/60$ + delivery if I remember well. Will see. Bye bye for now Regards Erix

Warning: yahoo users postings might be lost
by Alain Williams 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Summary: email sent by users with mailboxes held by yahoo may have their email disappear. This may be mail to a mail list (such as this one) their mail list postings may not be received by other yahoo users and also gmail users & a few others. Yahoo made changes without warning and have caused a huge on-line discussion by mailing list operators. Yahoo broke email lists. This is because at the start of the week Yahoo changed their DMARC settings to ask servers that receive a message with a yahoo.com email address in the From: line to reject it if it isn't properly signed by yahoo, which all messages they send will be. Basically, Yahoo has said that it users are not supposed to use any mailing list configured in the manner that they are often configured in. There are several possible workarounds, but none of them satisfactory. Discussion continues.

Microsoft
by Hrvoje Lasic 11 Apr '14

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
by mike.valk＠gmail.com 19 Feb '14

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
