[Arm-netbook] Another "new" ARM plateform (Simon Kenyon)

[Erix]

Hello everybody

step by step informations are coming out from this new "player".
informations I could obtained from them are:

for the LAN chip it is :AR 8035
for the WIFI chip is: RTL 8188EUS

the "schematic" of the platform can be found here:
http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/tbs2910/TBS2910-Matrix-ARM-mini-PC-SCH_rev1.0.pdf

and how to install the O.S on it is here:
http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/tbs2910/How-to-burn-a-new-OS-into-eMMC-on-Matrix.pdf

and about the GPIO, I've put a copy here:
http://www.fishspirit.org/TBS2910MatrixARMminiPC/

and the other informations about the GPIO I've obtained are:
[root at matrixtv ~]# ls /sys/devices/virtual/gpio/
gpiochip0 gpiochip160 gpiochip32 gpiochip96
gpiochip128 gpiochip192 gpiochip64
it's a bit "light" for the moment.
so we'll see...


I have a question about the miniPCie port included on this platform, what
kind of interfaces/extensions can we find for it? (I googled about it, and
most of them are SATA but there is already one on it, so ?...)
is there someone to open my eyes?



Regards
Erix

would be really cool to find a little board with S2 and/or T2 onboard;
rather than via USB

Hi everybody,
first at all, Merry Christmas to all of you.
what do you think about this "new" one?
http://www.tbsdtv.com/launch/tbs-2910-matrix-arm-mini-pc.html
driven by a Freescal MCIMX6Q5EYM10AC / Quad ARM Cortex-A9 at 1.0GHz
and 10/100/1000 wired Ethernet, WIFI IEEE 802.11n/b/g + SATA
the GPIO port looks a bit... little.
Regards
Erix

good find. they accidentally left the words "Sabre" in it - so it's
based on the open reference platform schematics :)

I have a question about the miniPCie port included on this platform, what
kind of interfaces/extensions can we find for it?

MiniPCIe *is* an interface, and it *is* an extension. so the
question doesn't make any sense.

what you probably mean is, "what kind of I/O boards can be plugged
into a MiniPCIe slot?" and the answer to that includes MiniPCIe NAND
Flash drives, WIMAX cards, 802.11n 300mbit/sec WIFI cards and so on.

you _can_ also get converters (on sites like hwtools.net) which
provide on one side a MiniPCIe board, a cable, and on the other side a
standard 1x PCIe PCB that will take a standard PCIe card.
