Any chance of getting schematics and PCB files this time around? I doubt you renegotiated your contract with Quanta to allow for this, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks, Nate On Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 12:23 AM, John Watlington w...@laptop.org wrote: BTW, Gen 1.5 is the OLPC codename for the

Do we have the ability to pulse width modulate the backlight LEDs? What is the resolution on the PWM? It's hard to know if this is feasible without a hardware schematic and specs on the backlight driver. The CL1 spec mentions a PWM signal, but maybe it only has four bits of resolution? In the

My layman's understanding is that you can't execute in place from the NAND flash on the XO. XIP requires NOR flash which is more expensive than NAND but has faster read speeds. It mentions this briefly on the axfs FAQ. Storing some executables and libraries in a separate uncompressed partition
