I thought the reason we have this change at the moment is that we have tracked the change done by Sugar development upstream, between 0.82 and 0.84 ... and we have chosen not to merge the XO-1 specific changes we did for 0.82. Today during a simulated training and assessment (for my training certi

Hi John, Last night, with the help of James Cameron on irc, I managed to update the firmware to q3a18 and the software to build 54. He did a superb job of walking me through the process. All seems to be working fine with the expected bugs (no camera yet). Now I just need someone to tell

Swap to SD cards: performance and burnout test

2009-12-07 Thread Emiliano Pastorino
Hi everyone, We're testing how much performance you gain by swapping to an sd card. The first thing we need to do is to compare the performance between a regular XO 1.0 (no swapping) and one which swaps to an SD card. The other thing is to measure how long an SD lasts if used that way. So long,
