First push to EOMA-68 firmware :)
by Albert ARIBAUD 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Hi all, Just did a quick "git push" to test that I can actually push onto the EOMA-68 EC firmware repo. Changes are trivial: on branch master, I just did some cleanup of main.c; more to come soon. Also, I created a new branch, "aaribaud/nucleo-f072rb", for stuff which allow/help developing the EC firmware on the NUCLEO dev board. That branch is intended to stay rebased on top of "master". Luke: right now I intend to keep on pushing onto master; but maybe you prefer that I push onto a dev branch (e.g. "aaribaud/master"), and from time to time you or I do a merge into master? Amicalement, -- Albert.

first post / sharing a thought
by fuumind 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi all! My first post to this list. Have enjoyed lurking here for the last couple of weeks. Really hope that this campaign works out! EOMA is a game changer. Been sharing everywhere. Just thought I'd share a thought with you guys. Please bear in mind that I know relatively little about hardware development so don't come down on me to hard with all the arguments about why it would be unrealistic! ;) Would it be possible / feasible to combine something like this (https:/ /www.crowdsupply.com/lime-micro/limesdr) with the EOMA68 standard? Regards! /fuumind

paul has been helping out a lot over the years with the eoma68 project, including some sponsorship. however i've learned that he's not been well and is now recovering slowly. i'd like to send him warm wishes to relax, get well and enjoy the campaign as entertainment, and invite people to wish him well and a full recovery. l.

TODO list EOMA68 campaign
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

hiya folks ok much as a reminder to myself but also to let people know: * looks like i'm going to hope2016 (http://hope.net) in new york if anyone's in the area and is thinking of attending. * i'm currently building mainline u-boot (working) and mainline sunxi-next to see if it will work. i have a modified dtb from the cubieboard2 which worked previously when i tried a 3.15 nand rc5 fork by bbrezillon, it.. .ah... ended up with corrupted nand at the time (from u-boot. oops). * still TODO is a slashdot article, last one some people didn't like (editors?) and dropped it into binspam.... * the comparisons laptop update i added both sets of suggested mods (thanks to you both for the prompting). we do have one more consideration here, someone has pointed out that they're really not happy at the potential "personal criticism" of the vera apparatus arm64 team... there isn't any (there's not a single personal pronoun in the entire section). the update is there to show the effectiveness of the ethics, approach and implied (or explicitly-stated) committment to "open-ness"... and their wiki is shut off, there's no mailing list... i don't know what to do here because if i can't reach the team i can't offer them an opportunity to say something... suggestions welcome. * i'm thinking of putting the "pass through" card on the campaign, approximate pledge amount $40 (because in low-volume expected it'll be about a $20 BOM), that would turn the laptop housing into a battery-operated screen, keyboard and trackpad for any smartphone, USB-HDMI-dongle-PC, laptop or desktop PC. thoughts appreciated on that one. ok enough, feedback appreciated. l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68

u-boot and extlinux.conf directives
by Nick Hardiman 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Will the u-boot on the computer card be happy with these syslinux config directives? My u-boot skipped some of these with messages like: Ignoring unknown command: ui Ignoring unknown command: totaltimeout This is probably my fault - I was thrashing around in the dark. But I thought I’d check. Thanks, Nick extlinux.conf, copied from a Fedora 24 ARM image --- # extlinux.conf generated by appliance-creator ui menu.c32 menu autoboot Welcome to Fedora-Server-armhfp-24_Alpha-7.
