Progress on Mer/KDE image
by Marco Martin 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

Hi all, since some people expressed the interest to try the current status of the mer/kde image, I uploaded it here: http://makeplaylive.com/~notmart/plasma-active-armv7hl-sunxi-eoma68-improv-… it needs an eoma68 A20 configured to boot from microsd. it boots to console, and kde can be started with init 5 desktop effects should work out of the box. Cheers, Marco Martin

Upcoming CPU Card Status?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hi. Deciding weather to put a order in for a a20+devboard or too wait. I prefer the specs of the upcoming cpu cards. I need all the ram I can get preferably but I also would like 3D/GPU for gnome-shell providing there's free drivers and firmware other wise I'd compromise for the most free cpu card. So rough err ETA of the up coming cpu cards and I assume that very nice devboard from make-play-live will be possible to get without the a20 card in 2014? Thanks muchly.

[eoma68] mini desktop pc

http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/mini_desktop/news/Revision_1_routin… started this a week or so ago, it's been very rapid to complete because all the parts have been available from the other two products. it started as a copy of the flying squirrel; the audio section has been completely left as-is, and it turned rapidly into a desktop through the addition of the VGA and power circuits from the router. so that's three major I/O board products in the pipeline. anyone got any suggestions on what to do next? laptop PCB? small robotics system? l.

3 new ideas on http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/ please could people fill them in

chris, joe, aaron, could i possibly ask you if you could put down some very brief info on these three products? i'lll maintain the structure, etc. for now, the wiki is being used in lieu of a database (TBD), and, crucially, it will be the point where EOMA68 IDs will be recorded until we've a proper registry set up. we'll be working on that shortly but i still want a single central place where feature boards (I/O boards) are registered and tracked. thanks, l.

http://www.vortex86dx.com/?page_id=80 looks like they've got a 2nd version available that has SATA and HDMI. hooray! perfect EOMA68 CPU Card! no 3D GPU but hey you can't have everything: at least it's got PCIe. l.

Realtek RTD2660 dithered LCD driver HDMI monitor
by joem 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Hi, Just trying to expand the EOMA ecosystem. I've got Realtek RTD2660 dithered LCD driver I bought with 800x480 7" display. It converts a 1024p HDMI signal to 800x480 and dithers the pixels to give impression of very high definition. (The illusion is a challenge for small characters that need to be displayed.) It works well for graphical OS like Ubuntu running on the EOMA. Just wondering if anyone know of SDKs and all the developer bits needed to get RTD2660 board built for EOMA. (I believe Raspi developers are thinking of making such a device already and have a kickstarter like campaign going.) So effectively the project is to build a miniature open source HDMI monitor for EOMA all done up in glorious KiCAD. When I get access to a 3D printer, a 100% open sourced case design is likely a done deal. The chip cost <$2, and LCD about $14. Add in all the components, and you could make decent micro HDMI monitors with BOM of about $20. Anyone out there wanting to cooperate on this one? I can do all the layout and LCDs to get the thing going from a hardware point of view. I can buy a programmer to program the RTD2660 chip. What I don't have is the SDK to customize the chip. But obviously need some kind of SDK to make the firmware files. I don't particularly know what to get it, or if there are are open source projects out there that can generate the firmware and/or program the RTD2660 chip Any pointers greatly appreciated.

5" LCD resolution 800x480 working for EOMA but color problems may exist because of miswire
by joem 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Hi, 5" LCD resolution 800x480 working for EOMA. Details here http://www.gplsquared.com/eoma_boot/eoma_boot.html#eoma_with_5inch_lcd These displays are about $16 from Aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5inch-5-TFT-LCD-LCM-RGB-800-480-Display-TOUC… I still notice a problem with color - Red and Blue appear to be swapped. I'm busy making a Cubieboard2 test jig to put the LCD on so I can wire up the resistive panel to the A20 CPU and get that going. By then I will also be able to cross check which wire(s) are not correct. (If you are building LCD or video projects around EOMA, check the wiring for red/blue are OK first.)
