Hi, I was wondering if there were any licensing fees that had to be paid for the chip in the Ben? And if so, does that mean there are non-free (proprietary) codecs in the CPU of the Ben? I know the usual suspects are graphics accelerators (milkymist excluded), but is there any other problematic component of the CPU in the Ben?
This leads into my 2nd question which is about what CPU the Ya is likely to use? If the ideal thing is to adapt the Milkymist Soc for the Ben, I imagine that would take time, but it would be entirely Free. Are there any other choices that are not too problematic? Like a higher model Ingenic? Also, any progress with regard to sourcing a different screen? For me now, since I have the Ben set up exactly the way I want, I sort of do not want the new Nanonote to come out. It's silly. But I will say that all the time spent developing the Ya hardware will be worth it because Qi products are quality, so take your time. _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
