Bone. New $89 open-source motherboard runs full Linux OS. News By Agam Shah October 31, 2011 12:55 PM ET IDG News Service - An open-source hardware group on Monday announced an $89 credit-card sized motherboard based on an ARM processor that could be used for robotics, gaming and medical devices.
BeagleBoard's BeagleBone development board is targeted at the open-source hardware community, which includes hobbyists and engineers writing code for hardware with open-source specifications. Some BeagleBoard projects include bringing Linux-based Android and Ubuntu operating systems to its hardware. The BeagleBone runs a full version of Linux and a full-featured web server, BeagleBoard said in a statement.
The board may not be for use in smartphones, tablets or PCs, said Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist at In-Stat. One device developed around the board is the Smart Pill Box, which is a device that lets off an alarm at a specific time to remind Alzheimer's patients to take medicine. Motherboard Express. Trim-Slice. Haifa, Israel – 9-Aug-2011 – CompuLab, manufacturer of Trim-Slice – the first ARM Cortex-A9 miniature desktop powered by NVIDIA Tegra 2, is announcing a new Trim-Slice model and is reaching out to the open-source community with Trim-Slice developers program.
Trim-Slice H further extends the usability of ARM on the desktop by incorporating an accessible bay for a 2.5” SATA hard-disk inside the Trim-Slice miniature fanless casing. “High-capacity and affordable storage is a vital element of the PC experience” said Irad Stavi, Director of Business Development at CompuLab.
“With Trim-Slice H, ARM users are no longer deprived of choice when it comes to storage.” CompuLab is committed to cooperation with the open-source community. Android. Android devices, while unable to put their wireless cards into monitor mode, can still be used to sniff wireless traffic. they are just limited to traffic that goes through them.
So to get data to pass through your android device other than its own data we need to have it act as a rogue access point. A rogue access point is an AP that you will control and have your “clients” or *cough”victims*cough* connect to. android 2.2 has this ability to act as a mobile hotspot built in, 2.1 and earlier version will need Wireless Tether for Root Users. I actually prefer the 3rd party app the Android’s built in ability as it offers many more features. And in case this was not obvious from the start, you will need root to preform anything in this article. If you don’t want to mother messing around with any command lines then luckily there are some nice apps that can handle packet capturing for android. The program that I want to praise is Shark for root. Tiny Pluggable Linux ARM Computers Are Red-Hot. The new wave of fun geek toys is inexpensive, hackable, tiny Linux-powered ARM computers, and they're red hot.
This is the year to go small. The ARM platform has been around for a long time, and nearly everyone has used an ARM-powered device. ARM CPUs come in 32-bit, 64-bit, and multiple core flavors. They are paired with amazing tiny powerful GPUs that deliver high-end video in mobile phones, tablets, media players, game consoles, calculators, routers, backup drives, GPS devices, e-readers, set-top boxes and digital video recorders, robots, 3D printers, home automation, and cameras. ARM Holdings claims that over 20 billion ARM-based chips have shipped since they were developed. ARM started out as the Acorn RISC Machine way back in the early 1980s. There are other differences, and as fun as it would be to go into detail, the executive summary is RISC CPUs are smaller and require fewer transistors, so they use less power and don't get as hot as big bad x86 processors.
FXI Cotton Candy. 4 Fine Linux ARM Distros. The ARM platform is exploding like a mad wet cat out of the bath.
Here are four good distros cram-full of ARM fun. Linux has had ARM support since forever, but it's been bumpy. There are hundreds of vendors of ARM devices (see Tiny Pluggable Linux ARM Computers Are Red-Hot for a sampling), all shoving their own personal hacked code out the door as fast as possible. This made Linux support complicated and unwieldy, to the point that Linus Torvalds threatened to stop accepting ARM changes in the mainline Linux kernel. Android for x86. Por fin llegó a T!

Puppy on ARM (PARM) Raspberry Pi faces challenge from Android-based rivals. 23 May 2012Last updated at 08:54 ET Powered by a WonderMedia ARM processor, the APC offers an alternative to the Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi computer faces fresh competition from two Asian micro-PC rivals.
Taiwan's Via Technologies has announced plans to sell the APC. Like the Pi it comes with its motherboard exposed and is designed to be connected to a TV or monitor. ARM Single Board Computers for Embedded Systems. The TS-7800 series of single board computers provides 3 times the performance of the TS-7200 series with the same footprint, using a Marvell 500MHz ARM9 SoC.
Through its internal PCI bus, the Marvell SoC provides high end features like gigabit ethernet, dual high-speed USB 2.0 host/slave ports, and dual SATA II ports. With a minimum of 128MB DDR-RAM and 512MB on-board NAND flash, these embedded computers run Linux 2.6 kernel with a full Debian distribution. The TS-7800 boards feature a high-density customizable FPGA. It provides extra peripherals including GPIO lines, SD card sockets, and a NAND flash controller. A unique feature of the TS-7800 series is the connection of all PC/104 connector pins straight to the FPGA, giving the computer the flexibility to add external hardware and physical/transceiver layers.
On the software side, these computers use a recent Linux kernel 2.6 and have a complete Debian distribution installed by default on on-board flash or SD card. Calxeda lets you test drive an ARM server cloud. ARM or x86 head to head, same software stack Ever wonder how the upcoming wave of ARM based servers will stack up against their x86 competition?
SemiAccurate sure does, and now you can try it for yourself and find out. Calxeda has announced that the OpenStack demo cloud, TryStack, now has ARM servers to play around with. The servers, running the new OpenStack Essex release, are sponsored by Calxeda, ARM, Rackspace, CoreNAP, HP, and Canonical. That should be a big hint about what you will get when the service goes live any second now.

The UzeBox The UzeBox is an open source games console based on a single board. X86 vs. ARM - the apocalyptical war. The war between x86 and ARM is heating up, while competitive tension between various ARM licensees is escalating. We first got a real inkling of this when Windows 8 was announced as a dual platform product. Obviously, Intel’s focus on trying to penetrate the iPad (tablet) and smartphone space hasn’t gone unnoticed. However, what I find most interesting is that historically, Intel was practically unbeatable.
Yet, Santa Clara hasn't even managed to establish a beachhead in its pitched mobile battle against rival ARM. Indeed, ARM - with Apple's iPad leading the way - has created a strong relationship with industry heavyweights like Calxeda (listed as one of the most innovative technology companies in the world), indicating that ARM is making better headway on servers than Intel is on tablets or smartphones. The Battlefield Currently, x86 is the dominant architecture for both desktops and servers, whether they are running Windows or Linux as their base OS. Calling the Fight. This pocket console runs Android for $130. Uzebox AVCore Development Module. Replacement: None. It's time for this product to step aside and make room in the catalog for even more cool stuff.
