Subject: Announce: LART hardware distribution released.

Hi all,

We've released all the CAD files required for building the LART under an
Open Hardware-ish license. All files can be found at
http://www.lart.tudelft.nl .

The LART is a small yet powerful embedded computer capable of running
Linux, built around an Intel SA-1100 StrongARM processor. Its performance
is around 250 MIPS while consuming less than 1 Watt of power. In a standard
configuration it holds 32MB DRAM and 4MB Flash ROM, which is sufficient for
a Linux kernel and a sizeable ramdisk image.

No computer is an island. We have designed I/O boards for LART, offering
audio I/O, IDE (can you say MP3man ?), Ethernet, PS2, IrDA, USB, video out,
telco and touchscreen interface. More boards are in various stages of
development, including video in, GPS and inertial navigation. We intend to
release all these PCB designs under the same open license.

On this site you can also get BLOB, our BootLoader Object; and a recipe for
building a Linux kernel and a crosscompiler toolchain.

There's also a majordomo list discussing the ins and outs of SA-based
embedded computing in general and LARTish stuff in specific; the address is
lart@lart.tudelft.nl, see http://www.lart.tudelft.nl/list/ how to get there
from here.

Note: we don't sell the stuff, we just try to give back to the community.
You could see us as a fabless PCB design group ;-)

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Sincerely,

Jan-Derk Bakker.
