General Discussion / Mailing List News of 2019
Last post by Raffaele_Megabyte - June 16, 2019, 05:02:19 PMLatest 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 immediate decisions.

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 AMThis 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...

Last post by robyinno - June 22, 2018, 04:36:12 PMJdLL 2018
As you probably know, we were attending the JDLL meeting (Journées du Logiciel Libre, The days of the open software, https://www.jdll.org/) and we promised to give an update about our participation. This time, our attendees were Phillipe Ferrucci and Fadi Osman. They gave a speech introducing our project and explained all the details. Using Fadi’s own words:
“It was a pleasure meeting Philippe! We also saw the OpenSUSE guys and other people one of which is the inventor of the magnetic stripe. Very impressive!
The Haiku people were very nice and helped us!â€
During the speech about twenty to thirty people were attending. We were asked the usual questions: Why have you chosen PowerPC? Is PowerPC really open source? …
Encourage the continued support of PPC64
Continuing our Yocto Project research
