Yes, unfortunately I did press "reply" without noticing I was sending it to you directly instead of the list. However, I did send another email to the list as reply just a few seconds later. Yes, I'm interested in the a20 pre-production boards. You can add me with the following details: Vincent, Germany, my-email-address On 07/20/2017 07:42 PM, Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton wrote: > --- > crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68 > > > On Thu, Jul 20, 2017 at 6:14 PM, Vincent <ml.eoma68(a)eml.cc> wrote: >> Hi everybody, > > you sent this to me only! > >> Please also add me to the early access list. >> >> Since the project is experiencing some delays and I would like to move >> on with my i.MX7 design, it would be really helpful to have an early >> version as reference. > > ... of the a20? edit this and add some contact details / identifying > info that i will be able to reach you by > http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/ > > >> Thank you very much. >> >> Best regards, >> Vincent >> >> On 06/21/2017 08:46 PM, Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton wrote: >>> --- >>> crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68 >>> >>> >>> On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 7:23 PM, Andreas Grapentin >>> <andreas(a)grapentin.org> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi Luke, >>>> >>>> On Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 11:20:25AM +0100, Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton wrote: >>>>> when endeavouring to do an update there were two key conflicts, >>>>> related to udev, systemd and mesa-gl attempting to be upgraded. the >>>>> upgrade could therefore not proceed. >>>> >>>> could you give us access to the image you used? that would make it >>>> easier to find the issues. >>> >>> can do. one ironic thing: i cannot remember how i got eudev >>> installed! i.e. from which repo. >>> >>> 1.7gb upload... *shudder*. ok. i have space. it's going to take... >>> 10 hours @ 40k/sec. will get back to you in a a few days as i do not >>> expect it to complete first time (rsync is my best friend here). >>> >>>> However, due to some changes in arch, there is currently no clean >>>> upgrade path from 2016 images that does not require manual intervention. >>>> See here: >>>> https://www.archlinux.org/news/ca-certificates-utils-20170307-1-upgrade-req… >>> >>> yuck. >>> >>> ok. >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook(a)lists.phcomp.co.uk >>> http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook >>> Send large attachments to arm-netbook(a)files.phcomp.co.uk >>>

Existential 3D Printing Moments
by Neil Jansen 21 Jul '17

21 Jul '17

Hi, I'm reaching out to Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton. I recently read your latest update post on the Crowd Supply campaign for the EOMA68, titled: "Existential 3D Printing Moments". You mentioned that you needed help and/or advice on 3d printing for manufacturing. I have a lot of very specific experience here. I ran an open source project that required us to set up a 3D printer farm for manufacturing our first run of machines. I've lived in China while trying to get our project ready for mass manufacture. I have some advice for you, if you're willing to listen. I'd prefer to chat via video or audio, as there's so much to cover, I'd get carpal tunnel typing it all out. I'd be OK with summarizing the meeting minutes here afterwards, as to not exclude anyone else. I can meet pretty much any time regardless of time zone. Let me know either way. I've been following this project for quite a while (since the Slashdot AMA years ago), and I really want you guys to succeed. I missed the crowd funding round, but would still buy a few after they're fulfilled. Send me a direct email if you're interested in chatting. njansen1 at gmail dot com

Anybody else see rhombus-tech.net right now? I'm thankful I saved the images of the PCB I'm reviewing to the local computer. -- Richard

Do you think when the new LTS kernel comes out,
by zap 15 Jul '17

that it will support a20 in the near future? whether linux libre or not? I was curious because you said the processor a20 doesn't support linux 4.9 am I right? In september, I plan to order one. This will determine how much I want it. I use devuan ascii currently so... yeah. I don't really know when you will make the 2nd revision or whatever you call it of eoma68/? ? meaning the processor you choose which I believe you said was the rk3388 right?

Technoethical - a good-looking seller of HW with Libre SW & firmware (Technoethical holds RYF certification)
by dumblob 12 Jul '17

12 Jul '17

Hi, I just came across Technoethical (https://tehnoetic.com/ ) and was surprised by the range of libre products they sell. Technoethical is also RYF (https://ryf.fsf.org/ ) certified. Luke, it might be worth contacting them with EOMA notebooks. Cheers, -- Jan

Potential new mali driver
by Bill Kontos 08 Jul '17

I just spotted this https://people.freedesktop.org/~cbrill/dri-log/?channel=lima&date=2017-06-23 It seems like there is a new person working on a driver for mali hardware, specifically the mali-400, and apparently it is an amd employee.

thoughts, for the future or a late future,
by zap 28 Jun '17

but I think whenever you decide to make a new eoma68 laptop design, make it a 13 inch instead of 11 inch. aka, more space, means more durability heat-wise... This would be even more effective whenever you start making your own processors probably because then it wouldn't need to be as low This is one idea I just wanted to throw at ya, but another idea came to me, its just an idea of course, but a libertybsd based router would be ultra secure I bet. if it is possible I mean. ;) Libertybsd = openbsd without blobs ps, if you decide to make a processor from lowrisc, will it have 3d acceleration/support for the latest opengl? Those are my thoughts for now. Tell me what you think.

Pangea Electronics

Hi, I told someone about EOMA68. When they Google searched for “modular laptop“ in German, they got this: http://pangeaelectronics.com/EN/index.html I don’t know what you think of that or if they would care about EOMA. To me the Web site looks more like they are interested in vendor lock-in, but who knows. Regards, Florian
