128 | jelle | 1 | == Description == |
82 | jelle | 2 | |
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 | |||
183 | jelle | 11 | We will aim to become the basis for other development boards; that should |
12 | make it easier to develop hardware with GPL-based software. We want the |
||
13 | boards to be able to split up into individual hardware repository branches. |
||
82 | jelle | 14 | |
183 | jelle | 15 | The OpenARM project has been started and is sponsored by PowerCraft Technology. |
82 | jelle | 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. |
