OSWALD
Hello,
There is a very cool plug for gentoo embedded in the August 2010 issue of the Linux Journal, from the good folks at Oregon State University: "Moving to a bigger development community, such as Gentoo, will minimize risks in the future." Congratulations to whoever is working this behind the scenes...... Now, were do we, the rank and file hackers, purchase a OSWALD embedded dev kit from? In the article they seem to indicate that larger production runs are in the offerings to come? curiously, James |

I thought the OSWALD would be a great way to help forward the embedded side of Gentoo. I'm hoping to soon start contributing back some of the ebuilds and other software I've developed along the way for the OSWALD since I'm only a week or two away from becoming an official Gentoo dev. Currently the project looks a little dead since we are between funding cycles and are looking to produce more devices so we have more stock on hand. However, we've secured funds to continue expanding the project this next school year and I'll continue working on the software side of things. > Now, were do we, the rank and file hackers, purchase a OSWALD embedded > dev kit from?

If you're interested, I could probably hook a couple more Gentoo embedded devs with OSWALDs at reduced prices. We currently have a limited supply on hand due to previous manufacturing and funding issues, but there are probably enough to hand a few out, especially if you contribute back to the OSWALD project. Also, we are currently looking into the next hardware platform that the device will be based on in future years. I'm all for continuing with the upcoming OMAP4 platform, but we'll see where things go. If you have any more questions let me know. Tim |

Yeah, the device is sort of like a Beagleboard with a LCD and several more input options. However, there are several other hardware differences such as we don't use the TWL4030 chip that the beagle uses for power management, I2C, etc. > Somebody should approach these folks and do some serious 'birds of a > feather' type of sales pitch.

However, Intel is also a major player at OSU and so they want us to stick an Atom in our next major hardware design. We'll have to see how things turn out for the next hardware rev. Also, most of the software repos for the OSWALD are available at [1] if anyone's interested and hasn't found them yet.

Thanks for the generosity, but, I need to finish a few things that have been lagging for me, before I jump into anything else. That said, I'm interested in the next board, if it is ARM based. > Also, we are currently looking into the next hardware platform that the > device will be based on in future years.

OMAP-4 looks very cool: http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?contentId=53243&navigationI d=12843&templateId=6123 Keep us posted on the new board's processor direction. Thanks for all of the information. James |
