Hardware and interests

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. putting them in handluggage is good idea :)

  • Hector Oron
    • ARM Hardware
      • Balloon board, EfikaMX, EfikaSB
  • Luke Leighton
    • ARM Hardware
      • Beagleboard (OMAP35xx)
      • IGEP-v2 (OMAP35xx)
      • Beagleboard chinese clone (OMAP35xx)
      • ODroid (S5PC100)
      • Undisclosed box (ARM926EJ-S)
      • CT-PC89E Netbook (?S3C6410)

    • x86 Hardware (maybe - depends on practicality)
      • Dual-core 2ghz Mac (running debian of course)
      • sample laptop with RDC x86 clone (IAD100HV). It's a 1ghz single-core Pentium clone but the CPU flags only have fpu and one other flag (sse?) and so anything that's compiled for x86 and assumes MMX exists instantly segfaults. such as qt4's image blitting function, yaay!
