Just in case you wondered why you haven't heard many updates from Nikolaus lately:
He was busy. Busy creating the schematics... that's a LOT of work.
But now he's almost finished with it! About 98% are done.
The only thing left is the power circuit for the OMAP5 (about 50 condensators) and some other small things.
So in theory, the Pyra is almost finished... the next step is layouting the full schematics.
This will be quite a bit of work - but after that, we're ready for a real Pyra prototype PCB!
While working on the schematics, he was also working on the latest kernel (3.18 RC1) and almost the full hardware of the OMAP5 EVM works now as well.
Quite a bit of progress, I'd say
In the meantime, aTc, Vagrant and me have been working setting up the package build system for the OS on my server.
We now got a neat script that grabs our own packages from the GIT, builds Debian packages from it and sorts it into the repo.
The next step will be building our own rootfs with a preinstalled package list on our server.
aTc has already done that - but I need to do that on my own server as well. Shouldn't be too hard now, though, as he already figured everything out.
That will be quite a bit of progress as well - as then we can start to shape the default PyraOS setup.
Now, I wish to say hello to all our newcomers who arrived here after my talk at the Hackover2014 in Hannover on Saturday.
It was fun, and I was happy to see so many interested people there.
I hope you enjoy your stay here, join our community and have fun as well
