Subversion Repositories OpenARM Single-board Computer

== Description ==

The OpenARM Single-board Computer is a demonstration project to show and

improve the possibilities and advantages of free open source software

development tools and methodologies.

The Singe-board Computer (SBC) is based on an ARM with Emdebian. It will

be a general evaluation board with possibilities for custom extensions.

It will include all datasheets, documentation and development notes.

We will aim to become the basis for other development boards; that should

make it easier to develop hardware with GPL-based software. We want the

boards to be able to split up into individual hardware repository branches.

The OpenARM project has been started and is sponsored by PowerCraft Technology.

PowerCraft Technology will guide the project and will facilitate the

possibility to order parts and assembled boards/kits. We are also a good

contact point for more information.

All work in this project is done with community spirit/philosophy and

is released under the GPLv3 License.

== Future Idea's ==

- Create full compliant JTAG debugger/programmer/ice for GNU/Linux

- Create open smartcard reader for authorization/encryption with gnupg

- Create Singel-board Computer with VGA output

- Create usb-host camera streamer

- Create dvb-t/analog tv streamer

- Create adsl2+ modem bridge

Microsoft Windows users are encouraged to sent an email to the

mailing-list to indicate, that they use the repository so we can make

sure usability of the repository stays good.
