contrapunctus | I saw a few 'DIY smartphone' sort of projects and decided that I want to give it a shot as well. However, AFAICS they are all based on the Raspberry Pi, which leads to predictably fat devices. I understand that a DIY attempt won't be half as sleek as a commercial offering, but I'd still like it to be atleast a little thinner. What boards would be recommended, keeping that in mind? The RPi Zero seems the right size but seems to require | 03:47 |
contrapunctus | closed-source software to run. | 03:47 |
contrapunctus | folks? anyone? | 04:11 |
kristianpaul | contrapunctus: whatsup? | 05:41 |
kristianpaul | i dont recomend, but there are interesting projects raising as c.h.i.p and redphone, they worth taking a look, but you there are always caveats | 05:44 |
kristianpaul | also you wont be getting anything floss when is about GSM/LTE hardware :-) | 05:44 |
contrapunctus | hey, kristianpaul , thanks | 05:59 |
contrapunctus | hm, that sucks :\ | 05:59 |
kristianpaul | contrapunctus: yes it does :p | 14:45 |
kristianpaul | and think about the networks etc.. | 14:46 |
contrapunctus | dat lag :D | 14:46 |
contrapunctus | kristianpaul: 'networks etc'? | 14:46 |
kristianpaul | contrapunctus: even if you implement a open base band for your gsm/lte stack | 15:00 |
kristianpaul | then you need a network | 15:00 |
kristianpaul | whats what i meant | 15:00 |
contrapunctus | kristianpaul: hm, I know just about nothing regarding telephony, so I don't get you - I'll read up on those terms, though, thanks. | 15:13 |
kristianpaul | ah ok | 15:16 |
kristianpaul | sorry i misundertood the question then | 15:16 |
contrapunctus | kristianpaul: I suppose I could look into reverse-engineering any closed-source components down the line. | 15:18 |
kristianpaul | or implement new methods, everything is up to you and you resources | 15:19 |
contrapunctus | hm | 15:20 |
