[edit] Major

  • Ben NanoNote patches have been accepted for the next Linux Kernel, 2.6.36 due to the great efforts of Lars and others!
  • The SAKC project is moving forward, and officially has been renamed to the SIE Project.
  • The RC1 Milkymist One board bring-up is completed, with all the interfaces tested.
  • On to a batch of 20-30 RC2 Milkymist One boards for the 27C3 (at the latest), hopefully including JTAG cables.

[edit] SIE

  • The Community, along with project lead Carlos, renamed the project to SIE.

[edit] Milkymist

  • The RC1 Milkymist One board bring-up is completed, with all the interfaces tested and to some extent supported in the SoC design.
  • On to a batch of 20-30 RC2 Milkymist One boards for the 27C3 (at the latest), as prototyping/development boards for now.
  • Yanjun Luo is working on a JTAG + UART combined cable made specifically for the Milkymist One. Hopefully, this cable will be sold with the RC2 batch!
  • Michael Walle has been successful using urJTAG that he modified and a FTDI-based cable to reprogram the Milkymist One. This is one less proprietary tool in the chain.
  • Rez from Corelabs is working on a case design.
  • Yann Sionneau has completed the Ethernet and GPIO drivers for RTEMS.
  • We have had quite a bit of media coverage lately, with the project being posted at MAKE blog and Create Digital Motion. Thanks!
  • The last major step for the SoC design is to finish implementing USB (see the SoC roadmap). Then, software (Flickernoise/RTEMS) will become a major priority along with the RC2 board production.
  • Software contributors are most welcome.
  • New website design by Corelabs (work in progress): see preview at http://www.corelabs.cn/mmone/
