General Discussion / Re: Mailing List News 2019

Last post by robyinno - July 16, 2019, 11:11:59 PM

Hi Raffaele,
in fact this forum is not used internally by our Core Team, so is a desert 
For all the people active in the project is a quite intensive period, with many meetings and decisions made,
in a day we will publish an update.

Roberto

Latest News on Mailing List are of April 2019.

I read on Mailing List Schematics are bouncing between the Development Team and A-Cube.

How it is situation as of June 2019?

I mean how much design changes are about to be made? How many bugs you found?

I read you have issues about che chassis form factor..

At this point IMHO it is better to follow the idea of the user who suggested to create a printed 3D laptop chassis. The line manifacture could be made later in industrial facilities.

It is time to made decisions. I spotted the Forum is deserted. Interest will decline if there are no good news.

Fine tuning/Optimization of applications/libraries for PowerPC / Shotcut crash

Last post by deuteros - October 31, 2018, 11:14:30 PM

'm trying to build an application called shotcut. The app works under qemu but crashes in a real Power Mac.

Here you can find a little more info and the backtrace https://gitlab.com/oshw-powerpc-notebook/meta-progress/issues/30

I think the problem could be related to the nvidia nouveau driver. What do you think? Can anyone help?

Last post by robyinno - July 29, 2018, 01:13:52 AM

This is our first successful attempt to setup a T2080rdb with a video card.
The RadeonHD 5450 is attached to the onboard PCI Express Gen3 4x connector using a 16x cable adapter.

We are using this board as it uses the same CPU (NXP T2080) as the one selected for our Open Hardware laptop project

You may find more infos about the board here...
