How To Get A Dev Unit.

[Svartalf]

2.1x? Huh?

Yeah, I did a... :blink: when I saw that too...

At the moment the Pandora doesn't use the TI one, but one specific to Pandora. More details will be released shortly.



Heh... The suspense is killin' them...

I'll have to concur with Squidge on this one.

 

[Kyo]

I must have misread that post I saw it then. I was wondering about that anyway, glad we got it cleared up

 

[crazedover]

Were there not a contractual obligation to take commercially reasonable steps to ensure purchasing, someone could start a company, distribute a trial where the copy protection was absolutely trivial, and distribute copies all day long.

All copy protection is getting increasingly trivial. It sounds like you're fighting a losing war that will sadly end up costing you (and us consumers) millions.

For now, Pandora boards are for people doing low level kernel work trying to make a nice stable kernel (and multifunction bootloader)

Where is the kernel 'community' around Pandora?

maybe here http://pandora.gp2x.de/

 

[Minotaur]

Are there any units left? And if so could I get a PM or reply stating the price.

 

[Kyo]

330$?

 

[Svartalf]

330$?

For a MK0? Riight...

That's the MSRP for the MK1 production units...

If you want one (and Craig's still offering the things...) you need to follow precisely what the man said in the beginning of the thread.

True, the MK0's cost a _lot_ more, but they are subsidised by the Pandora team with the assumption that it'll be worth it for the developers expertise and time.

And hope you will one day get a "yes" or "no" answer...

 

[Kyo]

exactly. I know they're way more expensive to make, but I believe they're being handed out for the retail price

 

[Orkie]

Why do you believe this? :S

 

[Kyo]

Because I think I read about it. It also makes sense

Actually, I gradually lost interest in the project. The final nail in the coffin as it were are the revelations (or, more accurately, lack of) about the WiFi/BT which only confirmed the doubts I had since the beginning. Too much of Pandora is closed, at least for me.

You seriously think they would charge full price so that people can have the privilege of developing core components of the OS for free?

 

[Svartalf]

exactly. I know they're way more expensive to make, but I believe they're being handed out for the retail price

Keep on believing that...it'd be waaaay wrong, but keep on believing it all the same...

Price you pay to be on the cutting edge, NDA's and some nasty cuts.

Apparently netbsd is writing that post on a computer that has also released blueprints for every component under the GPL. :rolleyes:

 

[sindbad]

No, I bet he hates the GPL. It's all BSD and MIT in his computer

 

[cb88]

so he is running from a fpga? with a never produced soft processor ? LOL

 

[iRRVi]

craig; i just sent you an email via the board...(first post; havent done much development for many devices...so i figured why make an account if im only gunna be posting "great job!" and "THATS AWESOME!"; while they may prove helpful to motivation; still...)

i would love to get a start on some dev; i have programmed alot before (i used to; and probably still am...just not active; developer for kruel studios...)

what languages are out there to dev on it with? i presume C is a given...

anyways...your pm box is full; as you would have guessed from all the posts saying exactly that...

thanks,
iRRVi

/edit: i just checked the kruel.org website...i am still listed as a team member on the praelium project; yes, the one that the most recent dev entry is from 27 weeks 5 days ago...amazing! maybe i should visit the irc soon...
