EOMA68-IC1t successful board bring-up
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

http://rhombus-tech.net/icubecorp/IC1T/news/ congratulations to the team at http://ICubeCorp.com for a successful board bring-up, especially given the challenge that it had to be done over the Micro-SD slot of the MicroDesktop base unit rather than over USB-OTG. despite this they successfully got console access over UART and have since sent the boards on to me for further testing. i am really excited to be involved with a completely new processor, and to be able to bring working prototypes to people. l.

Iteadstudio doing A20 SOM board

Totally lovely :) http://imall.iteadstudio.com/im140725004.html Personally I think if they want to make their mark, they should reduce the price to $39.99. (I'm still stuck for time doing my KiCAD version of one, and even if I get time, the newer versions would probably drop the edge connector and aim for a couple of FPC connectors.)

Phone Blocks?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

https://phoneblocks.com hmm, your thoughts? mine? well I am concerned that it will be status quo software wise and so not libre. but if they do software freedom then I'm not sure what it would mean for eoma-*. I suppose at least eoma-* has the advantage of getting to market sooner from the looks of things at phoneblocks - doesn’t look like they have anything any time soon and we do need a decent answer now with climate change/heating needing huge action now and all that. Come to think of it I guess eoma-68 will still have it's low cost market?

Indie?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 12 Oct '14

https://ind.ie they have been on my hit list for sometime. I think/recommend they would make a very good partner. they have really good band & marketing. they handle user experience (software) and are building a strong brand. they have shown a strong commitment to free software ideas (gplv3) but I am concerned that the first phone might be status quo hardware (non-free drivers and firmware) but we/I shall see. There first software release is only on osx first, gnu/linux and m$ later. I guess thats the system they are currently more familiar with and future releases will be umm more preferable :D

Existing Projects, Products That Could Be A EOMA-68 Device
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

I find my self coming across projects that are using a SOM that I think could have been a eoma-68. all those lost orders that would have made all the difference in getting cards rolling off the production line at a preferable price and into many peoples hands. todays example: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modduo/mod-duo-the-limitless-multi-eff…
