That's a reasonable explanation-- I'll take you at your word here. Thanks for your efforts to push Linux in education.
Would you consider open sourcing your design, so the rest of the community could build on your efforts?
- gravitronic 15y agoThere's no point - the SoC is not available to the general public. You cannot build this board, you can only buy it.
- reemrevnivek 15y agoThere is a lot to be learned from the design, even if you can't buy the SoC. Other chips may be compatible with existing footprints, and you could build extra features onto the current design. Additionally, having a schematic would make OS development a lot easier. The information can be obtained from the currently published source code, or at $25 it would be cheap to sacrifice one to a hot-air gun and generate some schematics.
- Mizza 15y agoThere is always a point, even if it isn't immediately obvious. People are curious and inventive and wonderful - they will surprise you! Just because you can't see somebody immediately being able to build this board, doesn't mean that the knowledge your work contains isn't useful, or won't be useful in the future. Besides, you have no reason not to. Couldn't hurt, right? And it would make the open hardware community promote you even more. Please seriously consider doing this. :)
