FOSDEM Hardware Enablement Devroom
by Paul Kocialkowski 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

A Hardware Enablement devroom will be taking place at FOSDEM this year, on Sunday 10 December 2017. This newly-created devroom is the result of 3 proposals that were merged together. It is co-organized by several individuals. The devroom covers all aspects related to hardware enablement and support with free software, including aspects related to boot software, firmwares, drivers and userspace tools and adaptation. Proposals for talks related to these topics are welcome and can be submitted until Sunday 26 November 2017 via the pentabarf interface. Short talks are encouraged over longer ones in order to cover a wide range of topics. The announcement for the devroom, that contains all the useful information, was published at: https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2017-October/002649.html Cheers and see you at FOSDEM! -- Paul Kocialkowski, developer of free digital technology and hardware support Website: https://www.paulk.fr/ Coding blog: https://code.paulk.fr/ Git repositories: https://git.paulk.fr/ https://git.code.paulk.fr/

EPROM programmer
by David Niklas 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

Hello Luke & list, I was blindly typing search phrases into my computer today (no, not really), when I stumbled onto a site advertising UV EPROM programmers for less than I had read about them being (was it $10,000 or $100,000?) I immediately searched ebay and found several William models for less than $70. "Cool" I said, "But is the SW open source?". So I did a single search. Duckduckgo was merciful and I soon found myself here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/geepro/ As you may or may not remember I've been trying to break into the HW field and I'm curious as to the list member's reactions to this as I was (am), a bit excited. Small chips don't seem that expensive either! Thanks, David

FOSDEM 2018, Stand / Talks / BoFs - ssistance / volunteers needed
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 09 Dec '17

09 Dec '17

ok so thank you to wim for prompting me about FOSDEM 2018, i've applied for a stand there and also put in 3 talks in the "hardware track". now, here's the thing: taking 50kg of equipment to Shenzhen Maker Faire was... well... it wasn't fun. the actual faire, fine, but decanting that much equipment FORTY TIMES on international plane flights, taxis, buses, trains and walking around 3km in total, definitely wasn't. so a heads-up: this time i'll be bringing around 30kg on a 10,000km *international* overnight flight: if i'm going to FOSDEM 2018 i will definitely, definitely need some assistance getting to and from brussels airport to the hostel, and from there to the university. also, if anyone is already attending or is planning to attend, i'll need help covering the stand. last time another person named wim helped out, which was amazing of him, he just happened to be the person at the stand next door :) _also_.... what would really make it worth-while would be, if anyone's interested, to do a BoF: discuss and plan what needs to be done and so on. any thoughts and assistance appreciated. l.

New 3d printing technique
by Bill Kontos 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

I don't know how far in your 3d printer design you are Luke, or even if something like this is useful/feasible( it's a completely different extruder and servos), but I'm leaving it here for future reference. http://news.mit.edu/2017/new-3-d-printer-10-times-faster-commercial-counter… The actual paper is unfortunately behind a paywall.

pocketchip's keyboard for pc card?
by ronwirring＠Safe-mail.net 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

https://getchip.com/pages/pocketchip I have been told, the pocketchip's keyboard is i2c. Can you connect the keyboard to the pcmcia/eoma68 breakout board? Then configure the keyboard's keys using a piece of software? I asked the chip company if they would sell a version of the pocketchip having an usb keyboard and no display. A version like that would be useful for people, should they want to combine a pocketchip with a raspberry pi, pc card or other computer. The chip company has not answered. Thanks.

Top Priority Software Tasks
by Adam Van Ymeren 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hey Luke, As I eagerly await the preproduction board, I figure it would be a good idea to touch base on what needs doing on the software side. I've started looking at http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/source_code/ for inspiration. But I'd like to know which tasks are a priority for you to deliver the current crowd supply pledges. Cheers! Hope the Shenzen was fun. -Adam

Re: [Arm-netbook] HDMI High-Frequency Layout: Recommendations Vias Moveable?
by Richard Wilbur 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

Working on the high-frequency taper, a couple things have been bothering me--the two ground vias circled in the attached picture. Are they either optional or moveable? If so, even moving them East or Northeast takes some pressure off the taper. If not, we'll work around them but it is a little more complicated. Richard
