Dear XS developers, As we plan to install and deploy a fitPC2 as a School Server in our NosyKomba deployment in Madgascar for OLPC France, we plan to powered it with the 12 VDC power-rail (powered by solar panel + battery + regulator). =>As we did it with another XS installed but powered by 220VAC + APC where we were able to use a smart APC to send messages to the kernel based on battery level threshold on the APC connected by Ethernet cable to the XS. This was actually working great smoothly hatling the fedora kernel on the XS =>Now I would like to do it with the 12VDC power-rail by having such a power buffer of a 10-20s where i can send a message to the kernel to halt before complete power outage. Do you know any -hardware tools/equipements built-in (like battery + voltage/current metering + I/O serial messages sent to a kernel) ? -arduino-based or like ready to do such an operation -other tricks/hints to handle smooth halting ?
My best and eager to deploy yet another XS server :) Xavier. _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
