Hardware

Since we are embedded, instead of say, s390, getting target hardware transported is easy. One of the advantages of meeting physically we exploit is meeting with systems you don't deal with usually.

  • Riku:
  • Wookey:
    • Will bring some selection of Balloon, nanoengine, ipaq, netwinder, ebp9302, ADI BRH
    • Finish off emdebian compiler-build system.
  • Hector:
    • Nokia 770 if need it, ?GamePark GP32.

    • write new documentation & webpage update
