[Arm-netbook] Press Kit?

[GaCuest]

Is there a press kit?

I want to translate the press release, and send it
to some Spanish websites if they want to publish it.

I searched it on Rhombus-Tech and I have not
found anything.

hmm, ok - let's start a page
http://rhombus-tech.net/crowdsupply/press_release/ and put something
together from various other sources, anyone want to give it a shot?

Well, I think it's important. First, because you can explain what is
important in your project (for example, someone can write that
EOMA-68 is a laptop with Allwinner A20, and not explain the
EOMA-68 standard and its future). Second, because you increase
your presence in the media.

I will wait to see if anyone can do it. My English is not perfect (as
you can see in my emails) and I can make stupid mistakes that
would not be good to send to media.

I would have no problem translating it into Spanish.

Luke,

Can you reconsider the MIPS32 and Ingenic? The Creator C120 and C140 from Imagination use a very similar chip
- the video chip has some non-free drivers but there are alos Libre drivers, I believe.

https://imgtec.com/contact-us/ should have contact details.

It is certainly feasible to install Debian on this: no other distribution is supporting this chipset any more,
I believe, though I could be wrong about OpenWRT supporting some models of MIPS chips embedded in routers etc.

[No connection or endersement of Imagination here other than as a satisfied Kickstarter customer for the C120
and awaiting the C140 arrival as a Kickstarter backer - due any day now]

All the very best,

AndyC

i am NOT going to be using PowerVR. imgtec have caused countless
problems for over 15 years. every company that's ever distributed a
PowerVR GPU inside their processor has regretted it.

i do have the EOMA68-jz4775 board available - i just haven't had time
to investigate the boot process.

if they provide full source code for all PowerVR GPU drivers, i'll
look at the C120 and C140.

i know. it's one of the reasons why we didn't pursue the
EOMA68-jz4775 for this campaign: too much work involved.

If all goes well (I hope), what SoC could be a good successor of the
EOMA-68 A20?

I saw your post in crowdsupply and no other processor seems to
be a good successor. Perhaps Allwinner A64 and Snapdragon 410c,
but have some red flags. Can this be a problem to have a successor
of the EOMA-68 A20?

don't know yet! will there be more than one in the next 10 years of
the lifetime of EOMA68? yes, certainly.

i'm investigating something: i can't tell you what the current plan
is, it's confidential - i'll have some more news in about 2-3 weeks.
