EOMA68 crowdsupply campaign starting tomorrow, 28th june 2016

Former Member

hi folks after the discussion came up a while ago here on element14 about EOMA68 i thought you might appreciate knowing that the crowdfunding campaign will start tomorrow and run for two months.  i have a heck of a lot to do so here are a couple of links http://crowdsupply.com/eoma68 and http://rhombus-tech.net/crowdsupply/ - we'll have a micro-desktop housing, a 15.6in laptop housing and a computer card with 2gb RAM, 8gb NAND and an Allwinner A20 dual-core ARM Cortex A7 running at 1.2ghz.

  • woo, lots going on image  haven't stopped writing answers to questions since we launched yesterday.  feel free if you have any questions, ask away.

    Hi Luke,

     

    I wanted to see the schematics, and I see an a31 folder but no a20 folder, and a file called "EOMA68_A31.pdf" however it is dated 2013 and labelled Allwinner Technology Co Ltd.

    Is that the correct PDF, or should I be looking at a different one?

    it's probably in the A10 folder.... the CPU Card itself isn't the thing you need to be looking at though (except out of curiosity or if you want to ignore the standard, which you can do), the *other side* though - where you'd want to make your own base boards, that's much more interesting.  hmmm... looking around news i'll need to take a look.

     

    what is it exactly that you'd like to see?

    Hi Luke,

     

    I see a link that says:

    but it goes to a location where I can see many files, but not the A20 Computer Card or A10 folder.

     

    I wanted to see the schematic to learn more about the product that will be supplied. Also I don't want to end up with a paperweight if the overall project ceases and any forums die one day, i.e. the schematics will allow me to continue to benefit from the Computer Card when there is no technical support. . The page states that it is available, but I can't find it. Is there a precise URL that I may be missing for the PDF schematics?

     

    Just as an example I recently contributed to the Lime SDR funding campaign but I didn't do so until I had examined its schematics and then the main component datasheet and register examination, so I could see precisely what it featured for the sum of funds demanded. I was satisfied I would be able to make use of it and that it was worthwhile so I contributed accordingly.

    cool, great!  ok i'll fire up the VM and generate a PDF, it's been so busy i've not had time to keep everything up-to-date, but the EOMA68-A20 CPU Card is the one exception where, to ensure that the investment is recovered and that manufacturing is not disrupted by third party suppliers, i'm *not* releasing the full schematics and PCB files... yet.  which is why you haven't been able to find them uploaded, there. a PDF of the schematics, not a problem.  give me a mo.  btw please bear in mind, this will be the one with four 8x DDR3 RAM ICs, and i'll be doing a redesign to use two 16x DDR3 ICs - it's a lower-cost layout.
