The kickstarter project is going to be expired in about 2 days. The price will 
go up a bit after the kickstarter promotion. One board now is $699 (which will 
go up to over $1000), and we also have sets of 1299 for two boards, 2599 for 
four boards, and 3899 for 6 boards.

We still has gap to make the kickstarter project success, so if you'd like to 
buy some boards, we appreciate you to back now at

Thanks and regards,

[OT]call for backers: open source hardware for networking innovation (ONetSwitch)

2015-03-03 Thread huc@ieee

Sorry for a little bit off topic.

This email is to inform you a new open source hardware for networking
innovation called ONetSwitch. It is an all-programmable networking platform
combining ARM and FPGA in a 17cm*13cm area (notebook size) for testing and
verifying research idea related to networking. Different from previous FPGA
develop board like NetFPGA/Xilinx PCIe board, host PC is not required any more
for ONetSwitch, and it is smaller, cheaper, and more power efficient. and more
flexible.

We have launched the ONetSwitch project on Kickstarter.com weeks ago. You can
get an abstract from the short video, which will not take you long to get our
idea :-)

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/onetswitch/onetswitch-open-source-hardware-for-networking

We had a paper at ONS 2014 presenting the preliminary design of ONetSwitch
(https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/ons2014/ons2014-paper-hu_chengchen.pdf)
and a demo at SIGCOMM'14 setting a data center testbed on only desktop using
ONetSwitch (http://nskeylab.xjtu.edu.cn/people/huc/Pub/DesktopDC_2014.pdf). In
the new version now at kickstarter, we add further physical support on 802.11
AC, mSATA, which suits for more scenarios. Also, we have open source ref.
design and supporting wiki available at github
(https://github.com/MeshSr/wiki/wiki/REF-OpenFlowSwitch-HWFT). The processing
logic can be modified in both software (ARM) and hardware (FPGA) to fit your
own needs. Although it is currently highlighted mainly on SDN and DCN, we aim
to provide the research community a way to set their testbeds for any
networking innovations easily.

I send the info. about ONetSwitch to this mail list since I think it may be
useful to guys in this community. Please do us a favor and back us to get your
own programmable testbed. We believe ONetSwitch would give much help to your
research and development work. Also, can you help distribute it to friends and
colleagues who will be interested with this? Even for the guys, who do not need
ONetSwitch but think it is good, we greatly appreciate you to back us with $1
for encouraging.

Regards,

Chengchen
