Mount BeagleBoard Root Filesystem over NFS via USB

2009-08-30T21:07:33Z

Likewise: Added a working method to automatically add usb0 to br0 upon detection of usb0.

[[Category: Linux]]
[[Category: OMAP]]
This page explains how to bridge the usb0 device to eth0 on your Linux host, enabling your Linux host to act as a hub for your [[BeagleBoard]] and connecting it to the outside world. As an additional reference, the following article is good at explaining how to create a typical Ethernet bridge on a Linux machine with two Ethernet cards:

[http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8172 Linux Journal: Kernel Korner - Linux as an Ethernet Bridge]

Before starting, make sure you have the "bridge-utils" package installed on your Linux host. This gives you the "brctl" command, which you need for creating and using an Ethernet bridge.

==Step 1: Create an Ethernet Bridge from usb0 to eth0 on your Linux Host==

The main difference between the scenario in the [http://www.linuxjournal.com/ Linux Journal] article mentioned above and the BeagleBoard is that we're creating a bridge from usb0 to eth0 instead of from eth1 to eth0. Also, we have to deal with the fact that "usb0" doesn't exist as a device on our Linux host except when the USB Gadget support is running on the connected Beagleboard, which isn't the case when we're first booting the Linux host.

My Linux host is running Fedora Core 10. I'm sure some of the following network configuration steps are specific to Fedora, but they can probably be easily adapted to other Linux distributions. On Fedora, I edited the network scripts "<tt>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0</tt>" and "<tt>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-usb0</tt>" by hand to make sure those interfaces had no IP or gateway settings, and that they were not controlled by the Fedora network manager by setting <tt>NM_CONTROLLED=no</tt>.

Contents of <tt>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0</tt>:

<pre>
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=none
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
</pre>

Contents of <tt>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-usb0</tt>:

<pre>
DEVICE=usb0
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=none
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
PEERDNS=yes
</pre>

Next, I created a new script "<tt>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0</tt>" that is going to be the "bridge" interface that connects both usb0 and eth0 to the outside world. This script looks a lot like what "<tt>ifcfg-eth0</tt>" ''used'' to look like.

Contents of <tt>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0</tt>:

<pre>
# Ethernet Bridge
DEVICE=br0
ONBOOT=no
SEARCH="dmlab" # Replace with your search domains
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 # Replace with your subnet's netmask
IPADDR=192.168.198.1 # Replace with your Linux host's IP address
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
GATEWAY=192.168.198.254 # Replace with your subnet's gateway
TYPE=Ethernet
DNS1=192.168.198.1
DOMAIN='dmlab' # Replace with your Linux host's domain(s)
NM_CONTROLLED=no
</pre>

Next, I created following init script and placed it in <tt>/etc/init.d/br0</tt>.

Contents of <tt>/etc/init.d/br0</tt>:

<pre>
#!/bin/bash

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

RETVAL=0

# Check if all what named needs running
start()
{
/usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0
/usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0
/sbin/ifup eth0
/sbin/ifup br0
return 0;
}

stop() {
/sbin/ifdown br0
/sbin/ifdown eth0
/usr/sbin/brctl delbr br0
}

restart() {
stop
start
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
restart
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 3
esac

exit $RETVAL
</pre>

I set the br0 init script to run during bootup by making the following symbolic link:

<pre>
ln -s /etc/init.d/br0 /etc/rc5.d/S91br0
</pre>

My system typically runs at runlevel 5 (hence rc5.d), and "S91" on my system runs after the networking scripts, but before critical services like dns, named, dhcp, samba, etc, which need the interface to be up when starting.

The br0 script manually brings up eth0 and br0, which is why it is important that these interfaces are not controlled by Fedora's network manager.

After re-booting the Linux host (without a BeagleBoard attached), the result of "ifconfig" should list "br0", "eth0", and "lo", and if you execute "sudo brctl show" it should list eth0 as being a member of the bridge.

<pre>
$ ifconfig

$ sudo brctl show

br0 8000.001aa0ec79f1 no eth0
</pre>

You should be able to access the external network the same as before on your Linux host at this point.

==Step 2: Booting the BeagleBoard==

The next step is to boot the BeagleBoard with kernel parameters that tell it to mount its root file system over NFS. Here are the U-Boot settings I used to boot the kernel from an SD card, then boot the rootfs over NFS:

<pre>
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=192.168.198.24::255.255.255.0 root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.198.1:/opt/dmsw/OE_BEAGLE_rootfs,nolock,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,rootdelay=2'
setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit;fatload mmc 0 80300000 uImage;bootm 80300000'
</pre>

In the above parameters, replace the following with settings for your network:

{| border="1"
|+
| '''Replace This''' || '''With This'''
|-
| <tt>ip=192.168.198.24::255.255.255.0</tt> || <tt>ip=</tt><BeagleBoard IP Address><tt>::</tt><your subnet mask>
|-
| <tt>nfsroot=192.168.198.1:/opt/dmsw/OE_BEAGLE_rootfs</tt> || <tt>nfsroot=</tt><IP address of your NFS server><tt>:</tt><path to root filesystem on NFS server>
|}

While the BeagleBoard kernel is booting, the usb0 device will show up on the Linux host. Run "ifconfig" a few times, and when "usb0" is listed, run the following command:

<pre>
$ sudo brctl addif br0 usb0
</pre>

This will add "usb0" to the Ethernet bridge, and the Linux host will now act as a hub for the Beagleboard. The Beagleboard will now continue to boot, but the weird thing is I didn't see any of the kernel boot messages scroll by while it's starting up. However, when it's done the "Angstrom" prompt comes up on the serial normally.

If you execute "sudo brctl show" after the BeagleBoard is done booting, it should now should both eth0 and usb0 being on the bridge:

<pre>
$ sudo brctl show

bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.001aa0ec79f1 no eth0
usb0
</pre>

==Step 3: Accessing the Outside World from the BeagleBoard==

You might want to make sure that any firewall software like iptables is disabled on the Linux host, or at least make sure the firewall settings allow the Linux host to act as a hub for your BeagleBoard. Otherwise, the BeagleBoard will not be able to see the outside world.

On the BeagleBoard, modify "<tt>/etc/network/interfaces</tt>", and configure the settings for "usb0".

Contents of BeagleBoard's <tt>/etc/network/interfaces</tt>:

<pre>
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.198.24 # Replace with BeagleBoard's IP Address
netmask 255.255.255.0 # Replace with your subnet mask
network 192.168.198.0 # Replace with your network address
gateway 192.168.198.254 # Replace with your subnet gateway
</pre>

Also, edit the <tt>/etc/resolve.conf</tt> on the BeagleBoard to point to your DNS server. Here are my settings:

Contents of BeagleBoard's <tt>/etc/resolve.conf</tt>:
<pre>
search dmlab # Replace with your domain search path
nameserver 192.168.198.1 # Replace with your DNS server
</pre>

Note that my linux host (192.168.198.1) is running a DNS server. If yours isn't, don't use your Linux host IP here -- set this to the DNS server that your Linux host is using.

Finally, bring up the usb0 interface on the BeagleBoard:

<pre>
$ ifup usb0
</pre>

You should now be up and connected as if your beagle board was on the network at the same level as the linux host.

<pre>
$ ping some.machine.com

PING some.machine.com (192.94.93.21): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.94.93.21: seq=0 ttl=247 time=18.005 ms
64 bytes from 192.94.93.21: seq=1 ttl=247 time=10.254 ms
...
</pre>

==Automatically add usb0 to br0==

Create <tt>/etc/udev/rules.d/52-add-net-usb-to-br.rules</tt> which adds usb0 to the bridge br0.

<pre>
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", INTERFACE=="usb*", RUN+="/usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 usb0"
</pre>

Tested under Ubuntu Linux 9.04 host. Unplug the USB cable, run <tt>sudo brctl show</tt>, then plug the cable and run <tt>sudo brctl show</tt> again to verify it was added.

==Future Considerations==
* Make the udev script aware of the actual interface name (usbX).

==== Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support ====

* '''Title''': Official Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Gentoo/
* '''Short project description''': Build ARMv7 optimized packages and stages for Gentoo Linux created officially by Gentoo developers.
* '''Description''': The project is for providing official support for ARMv7-based devices like the Beagleboard, we will provide stages and packages optimized for ARMv7 processors so any owner of an ARMv7 device can get an optimized system. At the moment Gentoo only provides and supports ARMv4 and ARMv5TE, therefore we would like to expand our official support to the more powerful ARMv7 subarchitecture.
* '''Homepage''': http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-arm.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/
* '''Expected results''':
**Allow Gentoo users to have ARMv7 optimized stages and packages.
**Document the installation on the provided boards.
* '''Contact''': armin76[at]gentoo[.]org , solar[at]gentoo[.]org

==== TUD:OS on Beagleboard ====

* '''Title''': TUD:OS on Beagleboard
* '''beagleboard.org project''': [http://beagleboard.org/project/TUD%3AOS+on+the+Beagleboard/]
* '''Short project description''': Port the L4-Microkernel based TUD:OS Operating System to the Beagleboard
* '''Homepage''': will follow
* '''Description''':
** '''What the heck?''' The TUD:OS operating system is a L4 microkernel based operating system, with good real-time and security properties, developed at the TU Dresden.
** '''Microkernel-based''': The microkernel approach allows it to to reduce the trusted computing base (the amount of code that has to be trusted) by running small trusted applications side by side with non-trusted applications, all as unprivileged user mode applications. Further, it is possible to run real-time applications side-by side with non real-time applications. Also device driver run in user-mode and thus a crash of a device driver will not lead to an whole system crash and in the best case the driver can be restarted and the system will keep on running.
** '''Familiar Environment''': While offering the above mentioned vantages, TUD:OS still offers a familiar environment by the possibility to run one or more instances of L4Linux. L4Linux is a Linux port the Fiasco microkernel which is binary compatible to native Linux but runs in deprivilieged usermode.
** '''What do we get from this project?''' ''Briefly: A fundament to build embedded [realtime] systems [with a exceptionally small trusted computing base].'' Further a possibility to run multiple virtualized linux instances on the beagleboard. A good documentation how to build such systems. And last but not least a (hopefully cool ;) demo showing that it acutally works , perhaps like the one found at [http://demo.tudos.org demo.tudos.org] (somewhat outdated).

* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/picoFlamingo/
* '''Short project description''': A portable presentation system for the BeagleBoard and the picoDLP projector
* '''Homepage''': http://papermint-designs.com/picoflamingo
* '''Expected results''':
** An application to perform presentations including 3D elements.
** A basic hardware specification for a portable presentation system.
** A remote interface for wireless control of the presentation.
** A demonstration of the possibilities provided by the BeagleBoard, the OMAP 3 platform and the picoDLP.
** Hopefully a lightweight 3D render engine for OpenGL ES 2.0.
** A lot of fun!!!...
* '''Contact''': dmo[at]papermint-designs[.]com

==== Accelerated USB Graphics Adapter ====

* '''Title''': Accelerated USB Graphics Adapter
* '''beagleboard.org project''': Add link
* '''Short project description''': USB-attached Graphics Card supporting OpenGL acceleration for XFree86
* '''Homepage''': http://www.employees.org/~mschulma/beagleboard/cerberus/

==== Apertus open source/hardware cinema camera ====

* '''Title''': Apertus Digital Cinema Camera
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Apertus/
* '''Short project description''': A digital camera controler for an Elphel open hardware camera. The beagle board will be used as a realtime viewfinder unit and hardware camera control.
* '''Homepage''': http://cinema.elphel.com
* '''Expected results''': We intend on creating a community driven open source cinematic HD camera for a professional environment.
The image is provided by an Elphel camera (elphel.com, open source camera). A beagle board would be connected to an elphel camera using ethernet. The beagle board runs a lightweight UI that allows user to view the live feed from the camera on an external display (dvi or s-video). It also allows to trigger recording and change camera settings using a user interface. The user interface is software based (on screen) + hardware based using buttons and knobs if possible (I2C interface of the beagle board would be used). This project will take 2-6 months to have visible results. The feasibility of this project has been discussed on the Beagle Board group, with positive answers (cfr. http://groups.google.fr/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/6c55a10dd598bb6/e946107bd0a807b8#e946107bd0a807b8 )
* '''Contact''': philippe dot jadin at gmail dot com

==== FMframe ====

* '''Title''': FMframe
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': FMframe is a picture frame application coupled with an rss news reader and clock/alarm functionality
* '''Homepage''': not yet; in a few days I will try to come up with a website with some preliminary screenshots.
* '''Expected results''': Plan is to make a picture frame application. Hardwarewise the beagle will connect to a DVI display. Softwarewise it will be a picture frame optionally with a clock on top of the photo (either a big semi-transparent clock in the center or a smaller clock in the corner). There will also be an alarm function which can play a preselected mp3 file when the alarm time is reached. Apart from showing pictures the frame can also show news from a user definable rss feed (e.g. cnn.com), Normally this will be in a ticker-tape at the bottom of the picture. When the user presses a button when a specific topic is shown the full message pops up. Probably there will be dedicated provisions for weather, giving the weather forecast if desired (in a style as done by the google weather widget). When waking up the frame can show the weather with the scrolling news or (user selectable) just a list of headlines. When the alarm is switched off the display acts like a regular photo frame again. User interaction will be through a remote control. Alternate inputs could be touch screen (if I get access to an affordable one) or keyboard (less convenient but it does allow people without IR receiver to control the device.

==== BeagleSCI ====

* '''Title''': BeagleSCI
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': BeagleSCI aims to use the BeagleBoard as a platform for scientific computation and instrumentation (SCI).
* '''Homepage''': http://sourceforge.net/projects/beaglesci/
* '''Expected results''': As a start, the initial goal would be to use the BeagleBoard as a logger of a seismometer. This would involve interfacing a 12-bit ADC chip and writing a driver for it. Data read from the instrument can be displayed by the BeagleBoard through a monitor or send the data to a remote computer via RS-232/RS-485.
* '''Contact''': sherdon dot uy at gmail dot com

==== Pictouch====

* '''Title''': Pictouch
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': A Mobile and Projected Touch user interface
* '''Homepage''': not yet
* '''Expected results''': The goal is to build a new Tactile Interface system based on beagleboard and the DLP picoprojector. Currently, the project make the use of JavaFX to support Multi-Touch (and Multi-User) and of 2 basic webcam, in order to build a low cost gesture recognition system.In the classical case of use, the interface is projected onto a classical table.Users interact directly with their fingers on the projected interface.

* '''Contact''': maxired at gmail dot com

==== Fotogenic ====

* '''Title''': Fotogenic
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet - but project is already in progress
* '''Short project description''': Bring network connectivity to plain old vanilla picture frames
* '''Homepage''': www.sourceforge.net/projects/fotogenic
* '''Expected results''': This project brings wired, WiFi and bluetooth connectivity and management to plain old picture frames. The project selects pictures from your photo database, resizes them for the picture frame's native resolution, embellishes them with web and home automation information sources before presenting them to the photo frame by making the BeagleBoard appear to be a USB pendrive...! Right click a photo on your laptop and select "Show on picture frame now!". Manage many photo frames centrally and much much more... Includes "wave gesture" interface to wave over picture frame for next photo... Also works with Eye-Fi SD memory cards to make photos appear on photoframe moments after taken...!!

==== Beagle Synth ====

* '''Title''': Beagle Synth
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/beagle-synth/
* '''Short project description''': DSP MIDI synthesizer based around the beagleboard
* '''Homepage''': http://code.google.com/p/beagle-synth/
* '''Expected results''': Initially a basic MIDI controllable subtractive synth with 3 oscillators, low pass, high pass, and band pass filters, 2 envelope generators, and 2 LFO's. From there the intention is to add some type of control surface (either physical controls or perhaps a touch screen), some effects (phaser, distortion, reverb), and perhaps other types of synthesis options (FM, additive, maybe some type of patchibility). The result will be a fully featured MIDI instrument comparable to many commercial synths. This project is to be a learning experience with the intention of exploring using DSP for music synthesis. As of now this project is in the concept phase and is still in need of hardware for implementation.

==== USB Scope ====

* '''Title''': USB Scope
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': USB diagnostics to aid driver development for USB devices
* '''Homepage''': none yet
* '''Expected results''': This project will use the BeagleBoard as a USB proxy between any USB device and a host computer connected via the OTG port. This will allow the BeagleBoard to snoop, compare and modify USB traffic which can assist both commercial and open source development of drivers and diagnosis of issues. Other ideas could be examined such as a USB-TCP/IP-USB proxy to remotely connect USB devices. Open or free software equivalents exist, but hardware monitoring devices only exist as expensive commercial products.

==== Irrlicht ====

* '''Title''': Irrlicht
* '''beagleboard.org project''': no
* '''Short project description''': A fully-featured 3D render engine with ogl-es 1.x and 2.x support
* '''Homepage''': http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net
* '''Expected results''':
** Hardware optimized core routines for optimal OMAP support
** Support of ogl-es 2.x (the 1.x driver is reportedly running on the board)
** Full framerate (60FPS) rendering of q3 alike scenes
** The engine also offers SW rendering, allowing to target for other OMAPs as well, but would require more tweaking in the render optimizations
** We can port one of the demo apps from our apps contest to show the full applicability
* '''Contact''': hybrid[at]users[.]sourceforge[.]net

==== Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids ====

* '''Title''': Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/HappyCP/
* '''Project description''':
It is an attempt to bridge the gap in communication between those affected by cerebral palsy and those not. The focus of the problem has been on facilitating communication in the emotional domain since this remains a completely unaddressed area. It is possible that some of the ensuing product functions will additionally facilitate communication problems in the physical domain, as well as be physically therapeutic for the cerebral palsy child in the manner of a comfort blanket. The basis of the product is an Emotional Language Protocol (elp) that works as its interface and is driven by four concurrently acting features - color, shape, motion and sound - corresponding to the sensory modes of the visual, the tactile and the aural. The interaction itself is facilitated by touch of varying intensities including pressing, thumping, squeezing, turning and, of course, by touching. Those not affected by cerebral palsy may additionally use speech along with touch. The interplay of this interface and interaction allows the cerebral palsy child to express his different needs and emotions to another person cerebral palsy or otherwise.Also, the device's mobile connectivity allows its users to communicate with someone far away
* '''Homepage''': http://www.dhairyadand.com/Home/jellow
* '''Expected results''': I have uploaded the basic designs at the above link to the homepage. The device is circular in nature with a touch screen where an interactive interface is used to display icons, objects, photos and other sharable action oriented stuff. The device has exchangable memory sticks which allow two or more device's to get connected and hence facilitating interactions. The result is to get a cerebral palsy kid out of his isolated environment, motivate him to communicate by making a device which will show him the joy of communicating.

==Contest Announcements==
===Sponsored Project Program===
The [[BeagleBoard]] Software Design Contest has now been replaced with the [[BeagleBoard/contest#Contest_projects| BeagleBoard Sponsored Projects Program]] (formerly known as contest #3). The biggest difference is that we'll be giving 2 boards per week to projects as they are '''[[BeagleBoard/contest#Approved_projects|approved]]''', rather than waiting until they are completed. Also, successfully completed projects may be rewarded with higher-end BeagleBoard-derived systems, such as a [http://gumstix.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=229 Gumstix Palo43] or a [http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbook/ Always Innovating Touch Book] (BeagleBoard based). You are encouraged to make your entries [[BeagleBoard/contest#Sponsored_Projects_Program_.28Contest_.233.29_projects|now]].

* '''Short project description''': The project will add the touch screen support to Beagle board
The following are the components that i am planning of using
:*The LCD breakout board is http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8600
:*The touch screen is http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8977
:*The touch screen connector is http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9104

Another option is buying a full LCD with touch screen option

**The breakout board(preferably single layered as it can be created at home)gerber for attaching with beagle which will be created using FreePcb(www.freepcb.com).You can see the photos of my RFID Based Access Control system project there.
**Wiki page to describe the entire development method
* '''Contact''': pradheep_sh[at]tce[.]edu

==== Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support ====

* '''Title''': Official Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Gentoo/
* '''Short project description''': Build ARMv7 optimized packages and stages for Gentoo Linux created officially by Gentoo developers.
* '''Description''': The project is for providing official support for ARMv7-based devices like the Beagleboard, we will provide stages and packages optimized for ARMv7 processors so any owner of an ARMv7 device can get an optimized system. At the moment Gentoo only provides and supports ARMv4 and ARMv5TE, therefore we would like to expand our official support to the more powerful ARMv7 subarchitecture.
* '''Homepage''': http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-arm.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/
* '''Expected results''':
**Allow Gentoo users to have ARMv7 optimized stages and packages.
**Document the installation on the provided boards.
* '''Contact''': armin76[at]gentoo[.]org , solar[at]gentoo[.]org

==== TUD:OS on Beagleboard ====

* '''Title''': TUD:OS on Beagleboard
* '''beagleboard.org project''': [http://beagleboard.org/project/TUD%3AOS+on+the+Beagleboard/]
* '''Short project description''': Port the L4-Microkernel based TUD:OS Operating System to the Beagleboard
* '''Homepage''': will follow
* '''Description''':
** '''What the heck?''' The TUD:OS operating system is a L4 microkernel based operating system, with good real-time and security properties, developed at the TU Dresden.
** '''Microkernel-based''': The microkernel approach allows it to to reduce the trusted computing base (the amount of code that has to be trusted) by running small trusted applications side by side with non-trusted applications, all as unprivileged user mode applications. Further, it is possible to run real-time applications side-by side with non real-time applications. Also device driver run in user-mode and thus a crash of a device driver will not lead to an whole system crash and in the best case the driver can be restarted and the system will keep on running.
** '''Familiar Environment''': While offering the above mentioned vantages, TUD:OS still offers a familiar environment by the possibility to run one or more instances of L4Linux. L4Linux is a Linux port the Fiasco microkernel which is binary compatible to native Linux but runs in deprivilieged usermode.
** '''What do we get from this project?''' ''Briefly: A fundament to build embedded [realtime] systems [with a exceptionally small trusted computing base].'' Further a possibility to run multiple virtualized linux instances on the beagleboard. A good documentation how to build such systems. And last but not least a (hopefully cool ;) demo showing that it acutally works , perhaps like the one found at [http://demo.tudos.org demo.tudos.org] (somewhat outdated).
*'''Contact:''' dvogt[at]os[.]inf[.]tu-dresden[.]de ([[User:Dvogt|Dvogt]])

==== picoFlamingo ====

* '''Title''': picoFlamingo
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/picoFlamingo/
* '''Short project description''': A portable presentation system for the BeagleBoard and the picoDLP projector
* '''Homepage''': http://papermint-designs.com/picoflamingo
* '''Expected results''':
** An application to perform presentations including 3D elements.
** A basic hardware specification for a portable presentation system.
** A remote interface for wireless control of the presentation.
** A demonstration of the possibilities provided by the BeagleBoard, the OMAP 3 platform and the picoDLP.
** Hopefully a lightweight 3D render engine for OpenGL ES 2.0.
** A lot of fun!!!...
* '''Contact''': dmo[at]papermint-designs[.]com

==== Accelerated USB Graphics Adapter ====

* '''Title''': Accelerated USB Graphics Adapter
* '''beagleboard.org project''': Add link
* '''Short project description''': USB-attached Graphics Card supporting OpenGL acceleration for XFree86
* '''Homepage''': http://www.employees.org/~mschulma/beagleboard/cerberus/
* '''Expected results''':
** Use the Beagleboard to attach another monitor to a PC running Linux, and run a graphics intensive application on the expanded virtual desktop without slowing the main CPU.
* '''Contact''': mschulma [at] employees [dot ] org

==== Apertus open source/hardware cinema camera ====

* '''Title''': Apertus Digital Cinema Camera
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Apertus/
* '''Short project description''': A digital camera controler for an Elphel open hardware camera. The beagle board will be used as a realtime viewfinder unit and hardware camera control.
* '''Homepage''': http://cinema.elphel.com
* '''Expected results''': We intend on creating a community driven open source cinematic HD camera for a professional environment.
The image is provided by an Elphel camera (elphel.com, open source camera). A beagle board would be connected to an elphel camera using ethernet. The beagle board runs a lightweight UI that allows user to view the live feed from the camera on an external display (dvi or s-video). It also allows to trigger recording and change camera settings using a user interface. The user interface is software based (on screen) + hardware based using buttons and knobs if possible (I2C interface of the beagle board would be used). This project will take 2-6 months to have visible results. The feasibility of this project has been discussed on the Beagle Board group, with positive answers (cfr. http://groups.google.fr/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/6c55a10dd598bb6/e946107bd0a807b8#e946107bd0a807b8 )

==== FMframe ====

* '''Title''': FMframe
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': FMframe is a picture frame application coupled with an rss news reader and clock/alarm functionality
* '''Homepage''': not yet; in a few days I will try to come up with a website with some preliminary screenshots.
* '''Expected results''': Plan is to make a picture frame application. Hardwarewise the beagle will connect to a DVI display. Softwarewise it will be a picture frame optionally with a clock on top of the photo (either a big semi-transparent clock in the center or a smaller clock in the corner). There will also be an alarm function which can play a preselected mp3 file when the alarm time is reached. Apart from showing pictures the frame can also show news from a user definable rss feed (e.g. cnn.com), Normally this will be in a ticker-tape at the bottom of the picture. When the user presses a button when a specific topic is shown the full message pops up. Probably there will be dedicated provisions for weather, giving the weather forecast if desired (in a style as done by the google weather widget). When waking up the frame can show the weather with the scrolling news or (user selectable) just a list of headlines. When the alarm is switched off the display acts like a regular photo frame again. User interaction will be through a remote control. Alternate inputs could be touch screen (if I get access to an affordable one) or keyboard (less convenient but it does allow people without IR receiver to control the device.

==== Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids ====

* '''Title''': Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/HappyCP/
* '''Project description''':
It is an attempt to bridge the gap in communication between those affected by cerebral palsy and those not. The focus of the problem has been on facilitating communication in the emotional domain since this remains a completely unaddressed area. It is possible that some of the ensuing product functions will additionally facilitate communication problems in the physical domain, as well as be physically therapeutic for the cerebral palsy child in the manner of a comfort blanket. The basis of the product is an Emotional Language Protocol (elp) that works as its interface and is driven by four concurrently acting features - color, shape, motion and sound - corresponding to the sensory modes of the visual, the tactile and the aural. The interaction itself is facilitated by touch of varying intensities including pressing, thumping, squeezing, turning and, of course, by touching. Those not affected by cerebral palsy may additionally use speech along with touch. The interplay of this interface and interaction allows the cerebral palsy child to express his different needs and emotions to another person cerebral palsy or otherwise.Also, the device's mobile connectivity allows its users to communicate with someone far away
* '''Homepage''': http://www.dhairyadand.com/Home/jellow
* '''Expected results''': I have uploaded the basic designs at the above link to the homepage. The device is circular in nature with a touch screen where an interactive interface is used to display icons, objects, photos and other sharable action oriented stuff. The device has exchangable memory sticks which allow two or more device's to get connected and hence facilitating interactions. The result is to get a cerebral palsy kid out of his isolated environment, motivate him to communicate by making a device which will show him the joy of communicating.

* '''Title''': Official Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Gentoo/
* '''Short project description''': Build ARMv7 optimized packages and stages for Gentoo Linux created officially by Gentoo developers.
* '''Description''': The project is for providing official support for ARMv7-based devices like the Beagleboard, we will provide stages and packages optimized for ARMv7 processors so any owner of an ARMv7 device can get an optimized system. At the moment Gentoo only provides and supports ARMv4 and ARMv5TE, therefore we would like to expand our official support to the more powerful ARMv7 subarchitecture.

==== TUD:OS on Beagleboard ====

* '''Title''': TUD:OS on Beagleboard
* '''beagleboard.org project''': [http://beagleboard.org/project/TUD%3AOS+on+the+Beagleboard/]
* '''Short project description''': Port the L4-Microkernel based TUD:OS Operating System to the Beagleboard
* '''Homepage''': will follow
* '''Description''':
** '''What the heck?''' The TUD:OS operating system is a L4 microkernel based operating system, with good real-time and security properties, developed at the TU Dresden.
** '''Microkernel-based''': The microkernel approach allows it to to reduce the trusted computing base (the amount of code that has to be trusted) by running small trusted applications side by side with non-trusted applications, all as unprivileged user mode applications. Further, it is possible to run real-time applications side-by side with non real-time applications. Also device driver run in user-mode and thus a crash of a device driver will not lead to an whole system crash and in the best case the driver can be restarted and the system will keep on running.
** '''Familiar Environment''': While offering the above mentioned vantages, TUD:OS still offers a familiar environment by the possibility to run one or more instances of L4Linux. L4Linux is a Linux port the Fiasco microkernel which is binary compatible to native Linux but runs in deprivilieged usermode.
** '''What do we get from this project?''' ''Briefly: A fundament to build embedded [realtime] systems [with a exceptionally small trusted computing base].'' Further a possibility to run multiple virtualized linux instances on the beagleboard. A good documentation how to build such systems. And last but not least a (hopefully cool ;) demo showing that it acutally works , perhaps like the one found at [http://demo.tudos.org demo.tudos.org] (somewhat outdated).

The beagle board runs a lightweight UI that allows user to view the live feed from the camera on an external display (dvi or s-video). It also allows to trigger recording and change camera settings using a user interface. The user interface is software based (on screen) + hardware based using buttons and knobs if possible (I2C interface of the beagle board would be used). This project will take 2-6 months to have visible results. The feasibility of this project has been discussed on the Beagle Board group, with positive answers (cfr. http://groups.google.fr/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/6c55a10dd598bb6/e946107bd0a807b8#e946107bd0a807b8 )

* '''Homepage''': not yet; in a few days I will try to come up with a website with some preliminary screenshots.
* '''Expected results''': Plan is to make a picture frame application. Hardwarewise the beagle will connect to a DVI display. Softwarewise it will be a picture frame optionally with a clock on top of the photo (either a big semi-transparent clock in the center or a smaller clock in the corner). There will also be an alarm function which can play a preselected mp3 file when the alarm time is reached. Apart from showing pictures the frame can also show news from a user definable rss feed (e.g. cnn.com), Normally this will be in a ticker-tape at the bottom of the picture. When the user presses a button when a specific topic is shown the full message pops up. Probably there will be dedicated provisions for weather, giving the weather forecast if desired (in a style as done by the google weather widget). When waking up the frame can show the weather with the scrolling news or (user selectable) just a list of headlines. When the alarm is switched off the display acts like a regular photo frame again. User interaction will be through a remote control. Alternate inputs could be touch screen (if I get access to an affordable one) or keyboard (less convenient but it does allow people without IR receiver to control the device.

==== Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids ====

* '''Title''': Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/HappyCP/
* '''Project description''':
It is an attempt to bridge the gap in communication between those affected by cerebral palsy and those not. The focus of the problem has been on facilitating communication in the emotional domain since this remains a completely unaddressed area. It is possible that some of the ensuing product functions will additionally facilitate communication problems in the physical domain, as well as be physically therapeutic for the cerebral palsy child in the manner of a comfort blanket. The basis of the product is an Emotional Language Protocol (elp) that works as its interface and is driven by four concurrently acting features - color, shape, motion and sound - corresponding to the sensory modes of the visual, the tactile and the aural. The interaction itself is facilitated by touch of varying intensities including pressing, thumping, squeezing, turning and, of course, by touching. Those not affected by cerebral palsy may additionally use speech along with touch. The interplay of this interface and interaction allows the cerebral palsy child to express his different needs and emotions to another person cerebral palsy or otherwise.Also, the device's mobile connectivity allows its users to communicate with someone far away
* '''Homepage''': http://www.dhairyadand.com/Home/jellow
* '''Expected results''': I have uploaded the basic designs at the above link to the homepage. The device is circular in nature with a touch screen where an interactive interface is used to display icons, objects, photos and other sharable action oriented stuff. The device has exchangable memory sticks which allow two or more device's to get connected and hence facilitating interactions. The result is to get a cerebral palsy kid out of his isolated environment, motivate him to communicate by making a device which will show him the joy of communicating.

* '''Short project description''': A wireless dynamically-mappable interface platform for small devices
* '''Homepage''': http://www.turkinnovations.com/
* '''Full Description''': Turk will be an open-source wireless interface platform that allows interfacing of small wireless (Zigbee or Wi-Fi enabled) devices through a dynamic mapping framework and web interface. Developers can implement their device's protocol easily through small user-space drivers called 'Gadgets' and host them on our server. The platform is then capable of automatically downloading and starting appropriate gadgets for new devices that are compatible with the basic Turk protocol. Gadgets reveal their services to the user and other gadgets through our growing library of data endpoint types (such as colors, URLs, booleans, xml strings) and user controls (like sliders, switches and color pickers), and can then be connected to each other through a themable web interface.

* '''Expected results''':
**A platform that allows developers to write simple user-space drivers that expose interfaces through XML-RPC
**A web interface and remote configuration capabilities through a central server.
**A simple and well-tested protocol and driver for a kernel-managed point-to-multipoint Zigbee network.
**More hardware connectivity besides the Wi-Fi and Zigbee interfaces will hopefully be developed by collaborating with other beagleboard projects and developers.

* '''Title''': E-Ink Interface Board and Driver for beagleboard
* '''Homepage''': [http://elinux.org/BeagleEPD BeagleEPD]
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/beagleepd/
* '''Short project description''': This project aims to interface an E-Ink display directly with a beagleboard. This is done by creating an interface board that is connected to the Beagleboard expansion header and converts the relevant gpio signals into the levels appropriate for interfacing with the E-Ink display controller. The second part is to write a driver which is a port of am300epd.c from mach-pxa to mach-omap in order to support the E-Ink broadsheet framebuffer driver directly on beagleboard. All of this results in making it possible to connect any E-Ink display controller to a Beagleboard (via the expansion header) and to then treat any E-Ink display as another framebuffer.
* '''Expected results''': Schematic for interface PCB between Beagleboard and E-Ink display controller board. A beagleepd.c mach-omap driver that will setup and control the IO pins appropriately.

==== Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support ====

* '''Title''': Official Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Gentoo/
* '''Short project description''': Build ARMv7 optimized packages and stages for Gentoo Linux created officially by Gentoo developers.
* '''Description''': The project is for providing official support for ARMv7-based devices like the Beagleboard, we will provide stages and packages optimized for ARMv7 processors so any owner of an ARMv7 device can get an optimized system. At the moment Gentoo only provides and supports ARMv4 and ARMv5TE, therefore we would like to expand our official support to the more powerful ARMv7 subarchitecture.
* '''Homepage''': http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-arm.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/
* '''Expected results''':
**Allow Gentoo users to have ARMv7 optimized stages and packages.
**Document the installation on the provided boards.

==== TUD:OS on Beagleboard ====

* '''Title''': TUD:OS on Beagleboard
* '''beagleboard.org project''': [http://beagleboard.org/project/TUD%3AOS+on+the+Beagleboard/]
* '''Short project description''': Port the L4-Microkernel based TUD:OS Operating System to the Beagleboard
* '''Homepage''': will follow
* '''Description''':
** '''What the heck?''' The TUD:OS operating system is a L4 microkernel based operating system, with good real-time and security properties, developed at the TU Dresden.
** '''Microkernel-based''': The microkernel approach allows it to to reduce the trusted computing base (the amount of code that has to be trusted) by running small trusted applications side by side with non-trusted applications, all as unprivileged user mode applications. Further, it is possible to run real-time applications side-by side with non real-time applications. Also device driver run in user-mode and thus a crash of a device driver will not lead to an whole system crash and in the best case the driver can be restarted and the system will keep on running.
** '''Familiar Environment''': While offering the above mentioned vantages, TUD:OS still offers a familiar environment by the possibility to run one or more instances of L4Linux. L4Linux is a Linux port the Fiasco microkernel which is binary compatible to native Linux but runs in deprivilieged usermode.
** '''What do we get from this project?''' ''Briefly: A fundament to build embedded [realtime] systems [with a exceptionally small trusted computing base].'' Further a possibility to run multiple virtualized linux instances on the beagleboard. A good documentation how to build such systems. And last but not least a (hopefully cool ;) demo showing that it acutally works , perhaps like the one found at [http://demo.tudos.org demo.tudos.org] (somewhat outdated).

* '''Title''': Apertus Digital Cinema Camera
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Apertus/
* '''Short project description''': A digital camera controler for an Elphel open hardware camera. The beagle board will be used as a realtime viewfinder unit and hardware camera control.
* '''Homepage''': http://cinema.elphel.com
* '''Expected results''': We intend on creating a community driven open source cinematic HD camera for a professional environment.
The image is provided by an Elphel camera (elphel.com, open source camera). A beagle board would be connected to an elphel camera using ethernet. The beagle board runs a lightweight UI that allows user to view the live feed from the camera on an external display (dvi or s-video). It also allows to trigger recording and change camera settings using a user interface. The user interface is software based (on screen) + hardware based using buttons and knobs if possible (I2C interface of the beagle board would be used). This project will take 2-6 months to have visible results. The feasibility of this project has been discussed on the Beagle Board group, with positive answers (cfr. http://groups.google.fr/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/6c55a10dd598bb6/e946107bd0a807b8#e946107bd0a807b8 )

==== FMframe ====

* '''Title''': FMframe
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': FMframe is a picture frame application coupled with an rss news reader and clock/alarm functionality
* '''Homepage''': not yet; in a few days I will try to come up with a website with some preliminary screenshots.
* '''Expected results''': Plan is to make a picture frame application. Hardwarewise the beagle will connect to a DVI display. Softwarewise it will be a picture frame optionally with a clock on top of the photo (either a big semi-transparent clock in the center or a smaller clock in the corner). There will also be an alarm function which can play a preselected mp3 file when the alarm time is reached. Apart from showing pictures the frame can also show news from a user definable rss feed (e.g. cnn.com), Normally this will be in a ticker-tape at the bottom of the picture. When the user presses a button when a specific topic is shown the full message pops up. Probably there will be dedicated provisions for weather, giving the weather forecast if desired (in a style as done by the google weather widget). When waking up the frame can show the weather with the scrolling news or (user selectable) just a list of headlines. When the alarm is switched off the display acts like a regular photo frame again. User interaction will be through a remote control. Alternate inputs could be touch screen (if I get access to an affordable one) or keyboard (less convenient but it does allow people without IR receiver to control the device.

==== Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids ====

* '''Title''': Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/HappyCP/
* '''Project description''':
It is an attempt to bridge the gap in communication between those affected by cerebral palsy and those not. The focus of the problem has been on facilitating communication in the emotional domain since this remains a completely unaddressed area. It is possible that some of the ensuing product functions will additionally facilitate communication problems in the physical domain, as well as be physically therapeutic for the cerebral palsy child in the manner of a comfort blanket. The basis of the product is an Emotional Language Protocol (elp) that works as its interface and is driven by four concurrently acting features - color, shape, motion and sound - corresponding to the sensory modes of the visual, the tactile and the aural. The interaction itself is facilitated by touch of varying intensities including pressing, thumping, squeezing, turning and, of course, by touching. Those not affected by cerebral palsy may additionally use speech along with touch. The interplay of this interface and interaction allows the cerebral palsy child to express his different needs and emotions to another person cerebral palsy or otherwise.Also, the device's mobile connectivity allows its users to communicate with someone far away
* '''Homepage''': http://www.dhairyadand.com/Home/jellow
* '''Expected results''': I have uploaded the basic designs at the above link to the homepage. The device is circular in nature with a touch screen where an interactive interface is used to display icons, objects, photos and other sharable action oriented stuff. The device has exchangable memory sticks which allow two or more device's to get connected and hence facilitating interactions. The result is to get a cerebral palsy kid out of his isolated environment, motivate him to communicate by making a device which will show him the joy of communicating.

* '''Full description''':
miniECG is a wearable device that monitors ECG signal, processes it and can transmit it over wireless internet connection to doctors clinic. It has following features are:
(all the hardware components required are available through digikey.com including LCD and touch screen)

1) It has touch screen that enable user to give commands like store, display old ECG data, transmit, etc. Device also has a LCD display which is used to display ECG waveform.

2) A tiny server runs on device that enables doctor to login to device any time he wants and extract patients ECG data. The device is connected to internet through wireless USB dongle.

3) DSP core does the job of compressing ECG signal, doing PCA (principal component analysis) on ECG signal, detect QRS, measuring heart beats and digital filtering.

4) DSP along with Cortex A8 runs algorithm that determines critical state of heart by doing feature extraction over ECG signals. It also does PCA over set of stored ECG signal to obtain information about any substantial drift in normal functionality of heart.

5) Wireless USB dongle provides connectivity to internet and data is transmitted over internet as per schedule programmed into the device. ECG signal can also be streamed over internet using this dongle.

6) Keyboard & mouse (USB) interface is provided for more flexibility and quick access. LCD monitor interface is also be provided. Key-board, mouse and LCD monitor interface will work only when device is powered by adaptor. For device powered by battery only input option is touch screen and only output option is LCD display.

7) Device also has small software support to give reminder on when to consume which drug. The prescription of drug and its timing information is feed in as per doctors advice. (keyboard and mouse interface with miniECG can be of great advantage here)

8) USB memory devices will be used to store ECG data.

9) miniECG will be dual powered. It can be powered by adaptor as well as with rechargeable battery.

Website link has block diagram of miniECG and also picture of ECG pre-amplifier which is already designed. In future all the source codes will be uploaded on the link as and when available.

* '''Expected results''': a) Ability to login from remote PC onto miniECG and read data b) Should be able to send stored data or stream live ECG signal over internet c) Robust interface of LCD & touch screen with controller d) Data storage and retrieval from USB storage device e) Successful implementation of DSP algorithms for feature extraction, PCA, QRS detection, filtering and compression. f) As the whole device is battery powered, software & driver which are very specific to the desired application should only be installed & made working. Thus providing a low power system architecture.

* '''Future Work''': Once the desire basic funtions of ECG storing, retrieval and transmitting is meet, miniECG can be programmed into miniPA (mini personal assistance) mainly targeting senior citizens. miniPA will have much advanced features that can help them elderly person in their day-to-day activity.

==== Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support ====

* '''Title''': Official Gentoo Linux ARMv7 support
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Gentoo/
* '''Short project description''': Build ARMv7 optimized packages and stages for Gentoo Linux created officially by Gentoo developers.
* '''Description''': The project is for providing official support for ARMv7-based devices like the Beagleboard, we will provide stages and packages optimized for ARMv7 processors so any owner of an ARMv7 device can get an optimized system. At the moment Gentoo only provides and supports ARMv4 and ARMv5TE, therefore we would like to expand our official support to the more powerful ARMv7 subarchitecture.
* '''Homepage''': http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-arm.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/
* '''Expected results''':
**Allow Gentoo users to have ARMv7 optimized stages and packages.
**Document the installation on the provided boards.
* '''Contact''': armin76[at]gentoo[.]org , solar[at]gentoo[.]org

==== TUD:OS on Beagleboard ====

* '''Title''': TUD:OS on Beagleboard
* '''beagleboard.org project''': [http://beagleboard.org/project/TUD%3AOS+on+the+Beagleboard/]
* '''Short project description''': Port the L4-Microkernel based TUD:OS Operating System to the Beagleboard
* '''Homepage''': will follow
* '''Description''':
** '''What the heck?''' The TUD:OS operating system is a L4 microkernel based operating system, with good real-time and security properties, developed at the TU Dresden.
** '''Microkernel-based''': The microkernel approach allows it to to reduce the trusted computing base (the amount of code that has to be trusted) by running small trusted applications side by side with non-trusted applications, all as unprivileged user mode applications. Further, it is possible to run real-time applications side-by side with non real-time applications. Also device driver run in user-mode and thus a crash of a device driver will not lead to an whole system crash and in the best case the driver can be restarted and the system will keep on running.
** '''Familiar Environment''': While offering the above mentioned vantages, TUD:OS still offers a familiar environment by the possibility to run one or more instances of L4Linux. L4Linux is a Linux port the Fiasco microkernel which is binary compatible to native Linux but runs in deprivilieged usermode.
** '''What do we get from this project?''' ''Briefly: A fundament to build embedded [realtime] systems [with a exceptionally small trusted computing base].'' Further a possibility to run multiple virtualized linux instances on the beagleboard. A good documentation how to build such systems. And last but not least a (hopefully cool ;) demo showing that it acutally works , perhaps like the one found at [http://demo.tudos.org demo.tudos.org] (somewhat outdated).

==== Apertus open source/hardware cinema camera ====

* '''Title''': Apertus Digital Cinema Camera
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/Apertus/
* '''Short project description''': A digital camera controler for an Elphel open hardware camera. The beagle board will be used as a realtime viewfinder unit and hardware camera control.
* '''Homepage''': http://cinema.elphel.com
* '''Expected results''': We intend on creating a community driven open source cinematic HD camera for a professional environment.
The image is provided by an Elphel camera (elphel.com, open source camera). A beagle board would be connected to an elphel camera using ethernet. The beagle board runs a lightweight UI that allows user to view the live feed from the camera on an external display (dvi or s-video). It also allows to trigger recording and change camera settings using a user interface. The user interface is software based (on screen) + hardware based using buttons and knobs if possible (I2C interface of the beagle board would be used). This project will take 2-6 months to have visible results. The feasibility of this project has been discussed on the Beagle Board group, with positive answers (cfr. http://groups.google.fr/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/6c55a10dd598bb6/e946107bd0a807b8#e946107bd0a807b8 )

==== FMframe ====

* '''Title''': FMframe
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': FMframe is a picture frame application coupled with an rss news reader and clock/alarm functionality
* '''Homepage''': not yet; in a few days I will try to come up with a website with some preliminary screenshots.
* '''Expected results''': Plan is to make a picture frame application. Hardwarewise the beagle will connect to a DVI display. Softwarewise it will be a picture frame optionally with a clock on top of the photo (either a big semi-transparent clock in the center or a smaller clock in the corner). There will also be an alarm function which can play a preselected mp3 file when the alarm time is reached. Apart from showing pictures the frame can also show news from a user definable rss feed (e.g. cnn.com), Normally this will be in a ticker-tape at the bottom of the picture. When the user presses a button when a specific topic is shown the full message pops up. Probably there will be dedicated provisions for weather, giving the weather forecast if desired (in a style as done by the google weather widget). When waking up the frame can show the weather with the scrolling news or (user selectable) just a list of headlines. When the alarm is switched off the display acts like a regular photo frame again. User interaction will be through a remote control. Alternate inputs could be touch screen (if I get access to an affordable one) or keyboard (less convenient but it does allow people without IR receiver to control the device.

==== BeagleSCI ====

* '''Title''': BeagleSCI
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': BeagleSCI aims to use the BeagleBoard as a platform for scientific computation and instrumentation (SCI).
* '''Homepage''': http://sourceforge.net/projects/beaglesci/
* '''Expected results''': As a start, the initial goal would be to use the BeagleBoard as a logger of a seismometer. This would involve interfacing a 12-bit ADC chip and writing a driver for it. Data read from the instrument can be displayed by the BeagleBoard through a monitor or send the data to a remote computer via RS-232/RS-485.

==== Fotogenic ====

* '''Title''': Fotogenic
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet - but project is already in progress
* '''Short project description''': Bring network connectivity to plain old vanilla picture frames
* '''Homepage''': www.sourceforge.net/projects/fotogenic
* '''Expected results''': This project brings wired, WiFi and bluetooth connectivity and management to plain old picture frames. The project selects pictures from your photo database, resizes them for the picture frame's native resolution, embellishes them with web and home automation information sources before presenting them to the photo frame by making the BeagleBoard appear to be a USB pendrive...! Right click a photo on your laptop and select "Show on picture frame now!". Manage many photo frames centrally and much much more... Includes "wave gesture" interface to wave over picture frame for next photo... Also works with Eye-Fi SD memory cards to make photos appear on photoframe moments after taken...!!

==== Beagle Synth ====

* '''Title''': Beagle Synth
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/beagle-synth/
* '''Short project description''': DSP MIDI synthesizer based around the beagleboard
* '''Homepage''': http://code.google.com/p/beagle-synth/
* '''Expected results''': Initially a basic MIDI controllable subtractive synth with 3 oscillators, low pass, high pass, and band pass filters, 2 envelope generators, and 2 LFO's. From there the intention is to add some type of control surface (either physical controls or perhaps a touch screen), some effects (phaser, distortion, reverb), and perhaps other types of synthesis options (FM, additive, maybe some type of patchibility). The result will be a fully featured MIDI instrument comparable to many commercial synths. This project is to be a learning experience with the intention of exploring using DSP for music synthesis. As of now this project is in the concept phase and is still in need of hardware for implementation.

==== USB Scope ====

* '''Title''': USB Scope
* '''beagleboard.org project''': not yet
* '''Short project description''': USB diagnostics to aid driver development for USB devices
* '''Homepage''': none yet
* '''Expected results''': This project will use the BeagleBoard as a USB proxy between any USB device and a host computer connected via the OTG port. This will allow the BeagleBoard to snoop, compare and modify USB traffic which can assist both commercial and open source development of drivers and diagnosis of issues. Other ideas could be examined such as a USB-TCP/IP-USB proxy to remotely connect USB devices. Open or free software equivalents exist, but hardware monitoring devices only exist as expensive commercial products.

==== Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids ====

* '''Title''': Happiness Device for Cerebral Palsy Kids
* '''beagleboard.org project''': http://beagleboard.org/project/HappyCP/
* '''Project description''':
It is an attempt to bridge the gap in communication between those affected by cerebral palsy and those not. The focus of the problem has been on facilitating communication in the emotional domain since this remains a completely unaddressed area. It is possible that some of the ensuing product functions will additionally facilitate communication problems in the physical domain, as well as be physically therapeutic for the cerebral palsy child in the manner of a comfort blanket. The basis of the product is an Emotional Language Protocol (elp) that works as its interface and is driven by four concurrently acting features - color, shape, motion and sound - corresponding to the sensory modes of the visual, the tactile and the aural. The interaction itself is facilitated by touch of varying intensities including pressing, thumping, squeezing, turning and, of course, by touching. Those not affected by cerebral palsy may additionally use speech along with touch. The interplay of this interface and interaction allows the cerebral palsy child to express his different needs and emotions to another person cerebral palsy or otherwise.Also, the device's mobile connectivity allows its users to communicate with someone far away
* '''Homepage''': http://www.dhairyadand.com/Home/jellow
* '''Expected results''': I have uploaded the basic designs at the above link to the homepage. The device is circular in nature with a touch screen where an interactive interface is used to display icons, objects, photos and other sharable action oriented stuff. The device has exchangable memory sticks which allow two or more device's to get connected and hence facilitating interactions.

This enables as well the future application of the DFU patches to power fast software downloads without requiring MMC (but the DFU patches are a different can of worms to be accepted on mainstream u-boot).
* '''Expected results''': U-boot patch against u-boot omap3 git tree that enables booting beagleboard and appear as an USB serial adaptor (CDC class, so it can be used in Linux/OS x without major problems), and the modified .inf file for windows.
* '''Contact''': ddompe at IRC

Continuous Logging for Watchdog Timer Expiration

2008-05-28T15:53:09Z

Likewise:

Implementation Idea

I think this can be achieved by modifying the driver that services the hardware watchdog. This driver is aware of the hardware timeout (say this is N) and the application can make it a rule to always service the hardware watchdog device (/dev/wtd) every N/2 seconds. The driver can now warn when it has not been serviced during the first N/2 and has N/2 left to dump this event somehow.
