| 3 | The OpenARM Single-board Computer is a demonstration project to show and |
||
| 4 | improve the possibilities and advantages of free open source software |
||
| 5 | development tools and methodologies. |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | The Singe-board Computer (SBC) is based on an ARM with Emdebian. It will |
||
| 8 | be a general evaluation board with possibilities for custom extensions. |
||
| 9 | It will include all datasheets, documentation and development notes. |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | We will aim to become the basis for other development board, that should |
||
| 12 | make it easier to develop hardware with GPL based software. We want the |
||
| 13 | boards to be able to split in individual hardware repository branches. |
||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | The OpenARM project is started and sponsored by PowerCraft Technology. |
||
| 16 | PowerCraft Technology will guide the project and will facilitate the |
||
| 17 | possibility to order parts and assembled boards/kits. We are also a good |
||
| 18 | contact point for more information. |
||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | All work in this project is done with community spirit/philosophy and |
||
| 21 | is released under the GPLv3 License. |
