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

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?

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. Regards Erix
