Hello, First of all, I'd like to thank the Qi Hardware developers and community for producing a remarkable device. I have been following this project at a considerable distance for some time, but recently decided that I should get more involved with open hardware and try and contribute some time and energy to help this project.
I think that I may be able to combine some of my own knowledge around some of the software available for the NanoNote with more specific knowledge about the device, much of which I probably have to learn, in order to make it even more interesting for people who recognise the benefits of open hardware. Of course, my motivations are slightly selfish: learning new things and getting more out of the NanoNote myself are rewards in their own right. :-) On more concrete matters, I'd like to thank Xiangfu for committing my pygame changes recently: http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-packages/939a741 As I mentioned, there are also changes to libsdl_mixer that enable Vorbis support, although I imagine that these need to go upstream to OpenWrt. I also mentioned that the play command doesn't seem to work as well with Vorbis as SDL with Vorbis enabled, perhaps indicating that the linkage of that command needs investigating: http://en.qi-hardware.com/irclogs/qi-hardware_2012-08-15.log.html I've also been trying to investigate floating point support in an attempt to get numpy to build. I'm starting to form the opinion that the toolchain needs to persuade something to make the fenv.h header file available, but this in turn may require an actual implementation of the associated functionality to be written. I aim to try various things out in this regard, and here are two references that may or may not be instructive: http://freesa.org/toolchain/ (see step 7b) http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded/28624 Thank you once again for producing a wonderful little device, everyone! I look forward to developing for it and seeing where the course of open hardware takes me.
