I notice in the dmesg printout that the BogoMips for this initial XO-1.75 version is less than for the G1G1 XO-1. mikus _______________________________________________ olpc mailing list olpc(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/olpc

Hi all, OLPC Engineering had a trip to Taipei for the XO-1.75 motherboard bringup last week.  The 1.75 machine lives in the same industrial design (display, case, batteries) as the XO-1/XO-1.5, but uses an ARM system-on-chip from Marvell -- the Armada 610/MMP2. There's still a great deal of driver and basic bringup work ongoing, but we're at a point where we can share details and photos: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_1.75_A1 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO1.75_Bringup http://wiki.laptop.org/go/File:XO1.75_A1_bringup.jpg http://dev.laptop.org/~lennert/20101109148.jpg http://dev.laptop.org/~lennert/20101108144.jpg http://dev.laptop.org/~lennert/20101108146.jpg http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/1.75/1.75-a1-dmesg http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/1.75/xo-1.75-broughtup.jpg The grand plan is to first move to the new ARM motherboard in the old industrial design (XO-1.75), then move to that same motherboard in a new tablet industrial design (XO-3).  Of course, there tend to be a lot of changes to OLPC's grand plans before devices ship! Software-wise, we're running XO-EC and Open Firmware at the low level, and Fedora 12 with Sugar and GNOME for the OS.  We plan on moving up to Fedora 13 or 14 as they become available for ARM.  (An easy way to help us out would be to help the Fedora ARM team with their mass rebuilds for newer Fedora releases.) As usual, we'll be running a Developers Program with these machines once we've got past the necessary initial hardware fixes and made a larger volume of boards.  That's going to take several months, but we wanted you to know that it will be coming. Thanks! - Chris, on behalf of the OLPC Engineering team. -- Chris Ball   <cjb(a)laptop.org&gt; One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ olpc mailing list olpc(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/olpc
