Hmm, your probably right, I since checked the speed of my processor, and
it is 2.4 per processor and its a dual core.

But, the arm processor is 1.8 per processor and its a quad core. So if I
add it together, probably it would be additional 50% faster.

and considering what you said, extremely lightweight by comparison, I am
not sure how many more time lightweight, but I assume it would be like
ten times at least if not a lot more...

Also it would be good for long term use, where as the libreboot is
probably not gonna last that long.  Everyone who replied to me probably
knows this and more probably already. But good luck reverse engineering
that. :) it will be well worth it if you succeed.

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble.
Personally, I like the super weird Linux problems. Can I have one of
those malfunctioning alpha boards to try to figure out what's going on?
I grant you that I've never worked on something quite this low level
before, so I won't be solving it any time soon, but it would be worth

Intel is on about the same ballpark as the big arm tablet chips but they
can't shrink it any further. They got this low simply from node shrinks,
but at this point making a new core design only for the tablet market would
require very high sale volumes. And they failed to infiltrate the tablet
market so...They even canceled their atom line, only the premium Core M for
products like the 12' apple macbook, which don't seem to gather much
traction either.

[Arm-netbook] Fwd: Eurocircuits NEWS - Fantastic Q1-2017

2017-04-18 Thread Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton
i don't normally like/forward this kind of stuff but just as a reminder,
the shiny PCBs i did of the laptop were from this company.  the pricing for
the (very specific!) budget-end PCBs with 12mil vias, 10mil tracks and
clearance and no green colouring was really *really* low cost, for europe:
i was very surprised.

also i was extremely impressed with the online viewer / gerber checker, it
took a ton of hassle out of what would otherwise meant a manual process for
them, which more than certainly is one of the reasons why they're
affordable.

Dear Luke Leighton
Eurocircuits NEWS - Fantastic 1st quarter of 2017

The New Year 2017 took a high flight right from the start. Customers were
very active and Eurocircuits was filled with eager to launch new projects.

Comparing the first quarter of 2016 and 2017 in PCB sales gives the
following result:
1st quarter of the year
  2016 2017
Customers 6 103 6 359 4,2%
Orders 26 320 29 132 10,7%
PCB sales 5 482 522 6 198 055 13,1%

This proves to be a good start for the year. We will work very hard to
continue to earn the trust of our continuously growing number of customers.
Eurocircuits NEWS - Q1-2017 PCBA Visualizer launched in Beta

Our Eurocircuits team was very exited to present our newest tool: PCBA
Visualizer. Our PCB Visualizer tool for DRC/DFM analysis of the bare board
has established itself as proven value to our customers. PCBA Visualizer or
Assembly Visualizer is the natural extension of PCB Visualizer. PCBA
Visualizer offers DRC-DFM functionality on the populated board even before
anything has been produced thus allowing to fix mistakes at minimal cost.

PCBA Visualizer has been received with a lot of fantastic feedback but also
many questions about how you can utilise the PCBA Visualizer to save time
and money by Verifying your Gerber data matches your Bill Of Materials
(BoM) and Component Placement List (CPL), an early warning system to
identify data issues and eventually resolve them online.

You may have noticed when saving your offer the option to participate in
our Beta testing

In order to take advantage of this tool and understanding how you can
benefit and correct your data please take 15 minutes to look at our PCBA
Visualizer video below:

 as a phone that would be... odd.

 but not totally unprecedented.  the HTC Universal had an insanely
ridiculous number of audio paths.  something like SEVEN separate
outputs and FIVE inputs - no wonder it needed not just the AK4641 but
also a separate TI audio multiplexer IC.

 because the screen was flippable there were two separate mics and
earpiece speakers, one each on each side.  then it had separate stereo
speakers built into the base.  then there was a headphone jack.  and a
car stereo mode (with a cable to plug in), *and* bluetooth.

 if the chosen EC were capable of handling I2S then it would be
reasonable to drop in something like an AK4641 or a really really
basic AC97 Audio IC, then use the USB connection between the EC and
EOMA68 to emulate USB-audio: job done.

 just doing some quick google searches "STM32F072 I2S" it appears that
some people have actually successfully done this - one person
(admittedly) with an STM32F4 not the F0.  on the chibios.com web site
someone even posted working demo code.

 fascinating.  bizarre but fascinating.  i seem to remember chris from

Look what I found while investigating guixsd's development status with arm:

https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/

I couldn't find any indications of which versions of the linux kernel
it's been tested on in their mailing lists.

Maybe it's easier 3 speakers, a basic speaker directly for the
STM32F (when using only the STM32F) and two good
speakers, connected to the CM108H, when you use the
EOMA68 (in this case the speaker of the STM32F would not work).

 i feel that there's a couple of helpful categories here:

 (a) (i) people who help themselves (only) and
  (ii) people who help others

 (b) (i) people who have been *trained* to *use* computers and
  (ii) people who are willing to apply creativity to learn how to
  program them.

i'm *definitely* in category (a-ii b-ii), and am looking for people of
category (a-ii) to help bring together people from *all* four
categories.
