    It's Alive!

    Not much on the "SK hymix" web site about the eMMC chip, so no public information on how to teach it to swim.

    The long journey towards a working display

    Great work Nikolaus the display looks great, feel your pain on the incomplete data sheet.  Guess Ed will be hanging around taking more pictures on the weekend.  Thanks for sharing your journey on what it took to get the display up, can not believe how clear and sharp it looks.

    How to calculate a price for the Pyra

    Great read ED, now I know what to put aside, and have confidence that it is a realistic guess at the final price.  Nice to have someone at the helm who knows how to really calculate the cost of doing business.  A great change from how the Pandora was launched.

    Omap5432 Dev board

    A smaller module that is coming which gives an idea of what a plug in soc could be like http://www.phytec.com/products/system-on-modules/phycore/omap5430/ I like the IGEPv5 with 4 gig and wifi, time to think of replacing the i.MX515 Cortex-A8 Genesis smarttop unit.  :)

    SoC: Back and forth!

    Another thought, it is important to pick a SOC that is going to be produced for a while.   So who else is buying the SOC for long term products, so you know that it will be around next year when you want to do another round of boards.  After all Pyra will be small volume to whoever we buy from...

    Arduino

    I have been using the Arduino IDE on a Genesi ARM computer from the Ubuntu depository. So the ARM port has been done, some one would have to package it, so it ran on Pandora. Cheers Carl

    MMC driver and SDHC cards

    With talk about updating the Pandora Distribution, just wanted to make the software developers aware of a discussion on the beagle board list with some SDHC cards not working. http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/0083724ff7e54c58#...

    SD Cards?

    This site has some micro SDHC cards results for different brands when used in embedded systems. http://www.sakoman.com/OMAP/microsd-card-perfomance-test-results.html The boot times for a fresh OS system doing its first startup configuration are interesting as the highest class cards do not...

    The Truth is out there (2010-12-11)

    Well the "does not get paid until delivery" explains it all. He has a payroll to meet, know what that is like and how some of the owners I worked for handled it, so nothing really new. In his mind it was just a white lie, just to keep the customer happy and he could run other projects through...

    General interest: What field of work are you in?

    Broadcast Engineering Look after automation systems, master control switches, video disk players and routers. Things sure have changed from the first tube intercom systems I first worked on when I started many years ago. Even see some Linux in two types of production switchers and in the...

    Quick nub update (2010-09-17)

    Well the update that the nubs where placed with a US company with an ISO rating, sure would lead you think you would be getting a quality product. Guess looks can be deceiving. :angry: Thanks for sharing the background information. Cheers Carl

    The actual preorder process

    Found out after not getting answers from Jacquelyn that Gmail was dropping my replies for some reason to the Gmail address. Once that was figured out, have now gotten to the point of being able to do the Google checkout and send the money in. So I now move into the group waiting for the...

    The actual preorder process

    Guess I am in the same boat, started the order on Aug 19 got reply and answered that with order information and then nothing further was received, so I guess as EvilDragon points out they must really be behind in the emails. Have been keeping an eye on the Spam filter folder as well just in case...
