> Topic: Whirlpools, Maelstroms, and Maytags with Android's Sticks and Chips > Moderators: > Kurt Keville, Thaumaturgical Engineer, MIT Institute for Soldier > Nanotechnologies - kkeville alum mit edu > > Brian DeLacey, www.LinuxInTheLivingRoom.com, b delacey / gmail com > > We'll trace the rapid evolution of low-cost, small, fast, energy > efficient devices capable of running Linux. We'll show new Android > devices running as miniTVs, miniPCs and tablets. We'll talk about the > promise of "Instant-on" boot times, 2 watt power profiles, and > supply-response middleware that makes your box unbrickable. > > Kurt will share slides showing the embedded revolution as "Moore's Law > on Steroids". Kurt's theory, practice and empirical study segment will > close with one startling prediction: the world leader in compute > energy-efficiency (Green500) will also be the leader in raw compute > performance (TOP500) next year. > > Brian will run with some real systems. Bring your own devices! > Demonstrations may include tricking, bricking and short-circuiting NAND. > We'll show devices with the Rockchip RK3066 including Rikomagic's > MK802IIIS 8GB Bluetooth with MK702II wireless Keyboard, the Measy U2C > miniPC with camera, and the UG008 miniPC TV device with ethernet and > WiFi. We'll also show the Allwinner A10 - on the PengStick and PengPod > tablet. We'll close with an x86/ARM cross-compile of Linux and discuss > building the ideal Linux powered miniStick.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to this meeting. Any highlights to share? I see John Abreau shared some links on #BLU (IRC): brian's slides http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6i6hqcIwTc http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Measy-U2C-TV-Dongle-TV-BOX-RK3066-Dual-Core-1G-8G-Built-in-2-0MP-Camera---Mic-with-BT-AV-Output-White-314220.html http://usb.brando.com/measy-wireless-keyboard-with-touchpad-rc12-_p02884c034d015.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xu352C1h0A (Was the link missing for the slides?) -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
