updates from eoma68-a20
by zap 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

I heard you considering only sending 1gb of ram instead of 2gb of ram. I just wanted to ask, if it comes down to it, if you would be willing to still send 2gb of ram and have uboot preloaded even if it costs a little extra... for those of us who really need the 2gb of ram. 4gb would be nice too of course, but 2gb is probably good enough as long as you don't use virtualization for any reason. :) It also dawns on me, that meltdown does not affect the a20 arm processor... This makes me think that I really will want what your selling more than I have before. but yeah, this christmas which is a long way away, I know I have been saying this for a while, but with meltdown I believe I have good reason to say I will purchase one. PS, this applies mostly if the date of the eoma68-a20 libre laptop doesn't have to be sent later then expected... heh... :) I am grateful this opportunity even exists. Oh and for those on the mailing list who don't know this, A20 is apparently immune to meltdown and spectre. Because it is part of armv7. So yeah, that really motivates me! I still hope for better though in the future... Shakti anyone? ;)

New kickstarter project: Allwinner VPU support in the official Linux kernel
by Dominique Dumont 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

[ I hope this mail is not out of topic for this list ] Bootlin (ex Free Electrons) is launching a new project on kickstarter to provide mainstream kernel support for the video part of AllWinner's chips. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bootlin/allwinner-vpu-support-in-the-o… I think this is a good idea which would benefit EOMA, so I've backed this project. All the best -- https://github.com/dod38fr/ -o- http://search.cpan.org/~ddumont/ http://ddumont.wordpress.com/ -o- irc: dod at irc.debian.org

Alt Webpage & Logo Combo
by Alexander Ross 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

http://rhombus-tech.aross.me/webpagealt/ more of alt homepage but felt like calling it generic webpage instead. its a start, lots to do. using a designed i started for something else so its has ref to a background image that dont exist, etc. css needs more work but its taking the beginnings of a shape :) I combined to logos people made and also made some little mods of my own. i feel quite happy with the outcome :) feedback good to hear, what ya would like to do , how ya feel.. should really put efforts into modding wiki page... but this fresh start would have a diff outcome than fitting around existing wiki design... but yea i think i should face up to having ago at wiki css... just dont feel like it currently... so i thought i’d see how this goes. idk if ill manage to do any more... i guess ill see if i get inspired some more and rev up to it :) I would really like some/to get more photos of the cards and housings to play about making some pics that help people to go "arr i get it". As they browse and scroll down :)

Go to 31.20 in the video to hear what sifive means. Can you tell if the mainboard is free software foundation compliant? If that is the case, I understood the video wrongly. I got the impression the mainboard requires non libre software to run. Software which makes the mainboard not free software foundation compliant. At 43.39 in the video they say, they are using an external non libre software graphics card. If we got all of the source code for one of the mali gpu's, could the aforementioned gpu then be used on a riscv mainboard? Or in general, can you place a mali gpu on a riscv mainboard? > arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook(a)lists.phcomp.co.uk > http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook > Send large attachments to arm-netbook(a)files.phcomp.co.uk

Typo in Update: FOSDEM 2018, Shakti Project Tape-out Nearly Done, 2.7.5 EOMA68-A20 PCBs
by Pablo Rath 05 Feb '18

05 Feb '18

Hi, in the latest update from Februar 1st there is an obvious typo in the markup resulting in one link rendered wrong. It starts with "The [Shakti Team]]" and I think it is one closing square bracket too much. Thank you, Luke for the interesting update and good luck with all the talks and FOSDEM. On Liberapay we made you the second highest funded individual person! :) kind regards Pablo
