Hi

A little English language documentation on the Butia is:

For all those who were at the OLPC SF meeting today,  Andres Aguirre
tells me that the CAD design will be updated in a few days to the
newest version. The current design is at
http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Mec%C3%A1nica_Buti%C3%A1_V1.8

The rest of this email has links to the logic board and the vendor
that makes these online.

One of the things I want to explore is to see if we can produce these
locally in San Francisco. Hence the cc to noisebridge.

Good!

Now we are using the service of Seeedstudio [1] that makes a good boards.
(Only the board, without any component). Each one for 3 US Dollars if use
the standar shipping.

The others components are "low cost".. the most expensive is the PIC18F4550
but you can found for 4 US Dolars in ebay .
And the RJ45 ports.. I'm not sure of the cost of that.

One clock of 20 mhz ~ 1 dolar..

14 resistences ~ less than 1 dolar

some capacitors.. two buttons.. and one USB port (type B)

that is all! The finished board:
