Hawkboard/earlyadopter

= Introduction =

* What is hawkboard.org ? Hawkboard.org is a Open Community Portal for OMAP L 138 ( ARM 9 and C674x Floating Point DSP) Applications

* What is hawkboard ? A OMAP L 138 based Open Platform designed by a small team of engineers @ Innovate Solutions

* What is Early Adopter Program ? Honestly, this is an exercise to educate the community on OMAP L 138 offerings and technology

* Who can participate ? Passionate Open Community members, Technologists interested in leveraging the OMAP L 138 technology and developing innovative applications, Team members who would want to drive and educate the community on the correct or right usage of the platform.

* Last day for submissions? November 30th 2009

* When will I receive the board if selected? By Dec 15th 2009

* What is the selection Criteria ? A group of Community members will be identified as Judges to review the proposals. The judges will choose the early adopters

* What after winning a board ? The Board is all yours, we look forward to the execution of your proposed solution.

* Should the solution be open ? Yes, after or while execution of the project you are requested to give the details to make this a successful open source program

Linux Driver Development for HawkBoard Peripherals

 * Title  :  Driver Development


 * Short project description:
 * The project will add the Linux driver support, following are the drivers I will be interested in developing and maintaining
 * VGA
 * Composite In


 * Homepage: http://hawkboard.wordpress.com


 * Why not on other board ?:
 * Hawkboard is a open community platform
 * My contributions will be leveraged by global open community
 * My efforts will be recognized and appreciated by world wide hawk, beagle, OMAP, Davinci communities.


 * Duration: 3 months


 * Expected results:
 * VGA and Composite drivers will be implemented and submitted to davinci mailing list for kernel.org submissions.
 * Wiki page to describe the entire development method here ...


 * Contact: khasim[at]beagleboard[.]org


 * Will you support hawkboard.org initiative ? How :
 * By creating wiki's of my understanding
 * By being on mailing lists and IRC and try to answer the questions


 * One thing you like about this platform or initiative:
 * Open Platform

 

SIP client demo

 * Title  :  SIP client on hawkboard


 * Short project description:
 * Get a SIP client working (linphone), maybe use DSP to off-load audio processing.
 * Use audio, network and DSP.
 * Maybe use video later-on.


 * Homepage: http://pmeerw.net (nothing hawkboard specific there)


 * Why not on other board ?:
 * Have some experience with beagleboard, but hawkboard seems to have more complete interfaces.
 * Cheap platform, DSP.


 * Duration: maybe one to three month, depending on scope (DSP, video).


 * Expected results:
 * Audio and network working.
 * Maybe extend user-interface later-on using VGA, video in.


 * Contact: pmeerw@pmeerw.net


 * Will you support hawkboard.org initiative ? How :
 * Contribute as open source. Provide demonstration image.


 * One thing you like about this platform or initiative:
 * Seems promising given beagleboard's success; visibility.

Hawk Media Server

 * Title  :  Hawk Media Server


 * Short project description: This project aims at achieving the following:
 * A media server for homes, that will be a central repository for all media - video/ audio/ pictures and documents
 * Long term goals:
 * Subject to feasibility, Probably a PVR using video in or video over IP
 * A video surveillance application in conjunction with leopard board, where the media server can be used for recording surveillance videos.


 * Homepage: http://www.firstpenguin.org/projects/HawkMediaServer (under construction)


 * Why not on other board ?:
 * Hawk has a SATA interface, ideal to interface with internal hard disks.
 * Cheaper than Beagleboard


 * Duration: Three months


 * Expected results:
 * A ready to install image that others can use to configure Hawk as a media server
 * All details shared up on a wiki


 * Contact: sradhakrishna@firstpenugin.org
