Very good. Thank you. I see that BeagleBoards list at $149. Do you have any idea of quantity pricing? Apparently TI sells them only through Digikey, which only gives single-unit prices on its site. I can see applications for data acquisition and control worldwide, as well as for teaching embedded systems development. I am thinking of possibilities for placement of systems through microfinance, assuming that we can find and document ways to increase income using BeagleBoard+Sugar more efficiently than by other methods. I assume that OE is intended to be all Free Software, and I see scattered references to GPL 2 in the Wiki, but I don't see a clear statement on licensing on the main page or in the FAQ. Can somebody write one? Also, one or more architecture pages showing the toolchain, relationships with other Free Software projects, and the structure of the resulting builds? >> First, some background. >> >> The initial port will be getting Sugar[1] to run on the Beagleboard[2] >> using the Open Embedded[3] toolkit. > > The basics (sugar, sugar-base, sugar-toolkit, sugar-presence-services and > sugar-artwork) are now running on the beagleboard: > > http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/sugar-running-ångström > > To build it using OE: 'bitbake sugar' > To install it in angstrom*: 'opkg install sugar' > > The Glucose pack is missing sugar-datastore (needs a lot of python modules > that aren't in OE yet), etoys (haven't looked at that yet) and journal > (haven't looked at that either). > The Fructose pack is completely missing in OE. > > The remaining tasks for people wanting to work on this are: > > 1) add OE recipes for needed python-modules > 2) add OE recipes for remaining Glucose items > 3) add OE recipes for Fructose items > 4) build it > 5) install resulting packages and run them, see them crash due to missing > python modules, goto 1 > 6) make screenshots :) > > regards, > > Koen > > * only has armv7a packages at the moment > _______________________________________________ > Sugar mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar > > -- Silent Thunder [ 默雷 / शब्दगर्ज / شبدگر ج ] is my name, And Children are my nation.
