Again good news: we have won one of the new PandaBoards (OMAP4 / ARM Coretx A9) boards through the PandaBoard Early Adopter Program: http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_Voting#PHASE-I_Winners http://omappedia.org/wiki/PEAP_Projects#Handheld_LCD_.26_GPS_.26_Navigation_Expansion_Board http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko_Beagle_Hybrid Our goal is to adapt the hard- and software of the Openmoko Beagle Hybrid to this new board. This will give even more power to future Openmoko devices. Nikolaus Am 14.09.2010 um 10:50 schrieb Dr. H.

We found two major issues so far: 1. the BB-XM already comes with connectors soldered to the board. Unfortunately Murphy's law did hit us and the BB-XM uses the opposite gender as our approach for mounting to the BB-C4. We now have to adjust for that (by finding a simple adapter solution). 2. the BB-XM uses a different version of the bootloader that is not compatible with our own code extensions [2].

Well, the BB-XM comes with a new DM3730 processor (1 GHz ARM Cortex A8), has a built-in USB/Ethernet hub for 4 ports and a built-in RS232 converter. This makes it even more simple to experiment with Bluetooth, WiFi, UMTS sticks connected to the Openmoko Beagle Hybrid while still having a portable design (using an external battery pack) to do experiments. So we work on these issues and just need some more days to solve them.
