OpenBricks

So FOSDEM 2011 is now gone but it still was a great piece of event. There were several very interesting talks, especially in the embedded devroom. I had the chance to present our work at OpenBricks this year and the feedback was quite positive. We exchanged about several opportunities with folks from Linaro, Qualcomm and [...]

We will attend this year FOSDEM in Brussels, and Benjamin will be presenting a one hour talk about OpenBricks in the Embedded devroom. The talk is entitled Introduction to OpenBricks, an Embedded Linux Framework and we hope it will give you a good introduction of what OpenBricks is and how is can be useful. Barring [...]

While Intel just has announced its new Core i5/i7 Sandy Bridge  CPU architecture, support for these new chips has just been added to OpenBricks. SandyBridge is a new architecture that embedded a GPU directly within the CPU. Thanks to latest Linux kernel 2.6.37 (for x86 at least), Mesa 7.10, libva 1.0.7 and Intel Xorg driver [...]

The multimedia components of OpenBricks have been greatly improved to now feature up to 4 kind of MediaCenter software to turn your device into an HTPC. As a user, if you intend to build your own SetTopBox (through GeeXboX distribution flavour for example), you may now choose between Enna (EFL-based), XBMC (SDL-based), MythTV (Qt3 based) […]
