Open sourced A13 Kicad design mail server
https://www.own-mailbox.com/libre.html
Found them on kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1547898916/own-mailbox-the-first-100-co...
Seems these guys have done some real hard work. As well release their design on KiCAD, they also made a distro that runs on A13 which has a modified mail server that accepts mail replies and posts it at secure https links to standard email addresses which don't offer security built in.
The KiCAD designs are missing some libs due to the way the paths have been hard coded into the project files. I'm sure they will get around to repairing it. Its a more powerful design than a raspberry pi, but many times smaller.

yeh i think paul mentioned it last week. the A13's easy to do a proper libre design because it's QFP. well done them managing DDR RAM layouts with KiCAD though! dang that must have been heavy going... but they did it.
hey you wanna know something ironic: the latest revision to eoma68 would allow the use of the allwinner A13 at a reasonable cost... because no more ethernet phy on-board...

Thanks to CERN, KiCAD now supports real time length tuning. I tried it - put KiCAD into openGL mode and then its absolute piece of cake!! (Youtube videos out there.)

Absolute shame the A13 doesn't have sata (which i need for server use). A lot more projects could have happened without bga but with sata.

well there is an allwinner product which has sata, it's called the A10 and the A20 :) but yes, i knowwww.... QFP not BGA...
btw you know that what's inside the A13 is exactly the same as the A10, right? just a different package, less pins brought out....

Yes.. hmm.. wonder if one of us can ask Allwinner to bring out a 200+ pin LQFP package (which is out now) with an A20 inside and sata pins (and enough pins for 2GB RAM)? Can make proper servers with that.

that'd be cool. except... you know they restricted the data lanes to only 16-bit on the A13, to be able to reduce the pin-count, right? and there are only 14 address lines on the A20, so it might not actually be feasible... don't know.
Hello, Does anyone have a copy of the kicad files? I would like to try to make a board in kicad using A13 processor, it would save me a lot of time to check the own-mailbox board first.
Thanks,
