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)

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?

Another "new" ARM plateform
by Erix 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi everybody, first at all, Merry Christmas to all of you. what do you think about this "new" one? http://www.tbsdtv.com/launch/tbs-2910-matrix-arm-mini-pc.html driven by a Freescal MCIMX6Q5EYM10AC / Quad ARM Cortex-A9 at 1.0GHz and 10/100/1000 wired Ethernet, WIFI IEEE 802.11n/b/g + SATA the GPIO port looks a bit... little.

[EOMA68] RFC and Review: SD/MMC and SPI added to specification
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

after some thought (and thank you for the comments), 1 SD/MMC and SPI interface have been added to the EOMA68 specification. as these pins are already brought out on the EOMA68-A20 CPU Card, there is no modification of the EOMA68-A20 CPU Card design required. only those people with the [first] A10 CPU Cards (of which there were only 5 made, and i have 2 here) would be affected. comments appreciated: http://elinux.org/Embedded_Open_Modular_Architecture/EOMA-68 l.

Help Taiwanese open-source GPS hardware a bit
by Paul Sokolovsky 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

Hello, Sorry for potential spam. There's a campaign at Indiegogo to develop a board with GPS MCU which would allow to run user programs alongside the GPS stack. It's unclear how open the GPS stack itself would be, but even if it will be a binary blob, it's still great progress comparing to current GPS chipsets. As an extra, MCU feature SPARC architecture, which alone worth to be present in every geek's personal computing museums. And early bird price starts at pretty low for 32bit "maker" scene figure of $15. So, please bid and spread the word - if it dies off, everyone talking of open source and open hardware should feel ashamed. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/navspark-packing-32bit-features-and-gps-g… -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com

"[EOMA68] RFC: ADDITION OF SD/MMC TO STANDARD."
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

i'm giving serious consideration, even at this late phase, to adding SD/MMC to EOMA68 by way of the GPIO pins as a multiplexing option. this would not have any impact on the EOMA68-A20 CPU Card: in fact, the only reason this can be considered at all is because the pins *happen* to be multiplexed as SD/MMC and GPIO *anyway*. this would also happen to give EOMA68 an SPI port as well. the idea came to me because it's something that's been forced on EOMA-26 due to the small number of pins (26) on EOMA-26. after looking at dozens of SoCs i don't think i've seen a single one these days which *only* has a [non-multiplexed] SD/MMC port. even if there was one that did (at an affordable price), a cross-bar buffer IC would take care of that. does anyone have any objections, and/or can think of any gotchas which would prevent SD/MMC from being added as a non-optional multiplexed option to EOMA-68? l.

Exynos 4412 quad core 1.7GHz with 2GB DDR built into chip
by joem 24 Dec '13

Exynos 4412 quad core 1.7GHz with 2GB DDR built into chip: http://www.cnx-software.com/2013/12/23/hardkernel-unveils-59-odroid-u3-boar… Amazing board similar to cubie selling for USD 59. They use eMMC to gain 4x speed, runs Xubuntu 13.10 already. The heat sink requirement probably makes it a non-starter for EOMA unless a flat heat pipe could be slipped into to somehow :)
