Rebuilding official OS images?
by Matt Campbell 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Hi, Are there scripts somewhere for building the official OS images for the A20 card, from official distro package repositories, using debootstrap or the equivalent tool for other distros? I think it's important that the official OS images aren't just cobbled together by one person, with no one else knowing how to do it; in other words, the build process should be documented, reproducible, and ideally, fully automated. Thanks, Matt

Development environment for the A20 card
by David Boddie 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Sorry if this has come up before and I missed it. Is there a recommended software development environment for the A20 card that people can use to experiment with in place of the real thing? I'm thinking of something as basic as a set of configuration options for qemu. I know the Cubieboard or Cubietruck has been mentioned before in the context of whether software will be portable to the card. I just wondered if there's any more concrete information about using virtual environments for those systems in the context of the A20 card. David

Ethernet with pass-through card
by Stephen Paul Weber 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Does the EOMA spec have ethernet? I forget. Neither housing lists USB ethernet as a thing it has, which seems odd if not (especially for the desktop housing)‎. Having an ethernet port in the bargain would make the pass-through card pretty exciting. ‎ Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

What I have done so far
by Wolfgang Romey (hier) 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Hallo, I followed the development of the EOMA68 Laptop for a long time and waited eagerly for the crowfunding-campaign. After the start of the campaign I regularly postet news on diaspora* and gnusocial and on the fsfe-de e-mail list and will do so until the end of the campaign. I hope it helps. I wonder, why so few people of the free software movement support your campaign. I thouhgt, free hardware in combination with free software was one of the top whishes of the free software community.

making money with EOMA68 cards
by Nick Hardiman 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

I’ve been checking up on EOMA68 articles the last few days. Somewhere along the way - perhaps in a podcast - I believe Luke said you can make money from hardware. How would that work? Perhaps something along these lines? If a home tinkerer wants to experiment, or an artist wants to explore this new medium, or a business student want a first mover’s advantage, they do something like this. * Come up with the idea for a gizmo. I see someone’s already compiled a list of ideas at http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/. * Order a card via https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop * Buy an idiots guide to soldering and a bag of parts. * Spend a few months burning holes in tables and building prototypes. * Take delivery of the new card, plug it in and make sure everything works. * Sell the new gizmo online. The EOMA68 standard creates a demand for new products. Unplugging the computer card from your house, plugging it into your car, unplugging it at work and plugging it into something else, means there must be the things to plug it into. The hard work has already been done. The hardware exists courtesy of the mobile phone industry, the software exists courtesy of decades of free software, and the compute package will exist courtesy of Luke and co.
