EOMA-68 laptop firmware: support for NUCLEO F072RB added
by Albert ARIBAUD 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

Hi, I have just pushed support for the NUCLEO F072RB on the eoma firmware repository. You can now build the firmware either for the real PCB2 EC with "make", or for the NUCLEO with "make STM32F072_NUCLEO=1". When built for the NUCLEO, the list of GPIOs used by the firmware is adjusted to the available GPIOs on the NUCLEO. Right now, this means the keyboard matrix uses A13, A14 and A15 instead of A2, A3 (used for UART to the ST-Link) and A5 (used for LED LD2). As a bonus, the user button selects between firmware or DFU on power-up or reset; this removes the need to strap/unstrap the BOOT0 pin. Yes, I'm /that/ lazy. Next on the list: documenting and completing the keyboard matrix (two keys appear missing) and supporting limited AZERTY mode. Amicalement, -- Albert.

eoma68-project
by Wolfgang Romey (hier) 30 Jul '16

30 Jul '16

The EOMA68-Project, which aims to build a free and ethical laptop has reached 50,000 $ funding, which is 1/3 of its aim. I am surpized, that there is not more support from the Free Software community. I thought Free Hardware (in combination with FRee software) is an urgent need. So please consider, if you can support the project. Paul Boddie has written a blog post why: http://www.boddie.org.uk/david/www-repo/Personal/Updates/2016/2016-07-21.ht… -- Wolfgang Romey Krokusstraße 37 47249 Duisburg geraspora: https://pod.geraspora.de/people/9002a1416a4e4a9d loadaverage: https://loadaverage.org/hier tox: wolfgang_romey(a)toxme.se Bitte Anhänge nur in freien Formaten.

Rebuilding official OS images?
by Matt Campbell 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Hi, Are there scripts somewhere for building the official OS images for the A20 card, from official distro package repositories, using debootstrap or the equivalent tool for other distros? I think it's important that the official OS images aren't just cobbled together by one person, with no one else knowing how to do it; in other words, the build process should be documented, reproducible, and ideally, fully automated. Thanks, Matt
