The goal of this project is to develop and build an expansion board for the PandaBoard based on FPGA technology.
An FPGA allows to build a very flexible expansion for an ARM based SoC. It's high count of programmable I/O pins combined with the option to create custom hardware blocks inside the configurable logic offer numerous possibilities.
The aim of the project is to utilize opensource tools and integrate them into a all in one Combo Box for domestic day to day purpose.
Following are the applications currently planned on this.
1) Home Network Gateway :- To provide wireless ( May be Wired access ) Internet access to all Internet devices at home.
2) Provide Advanced Routing and Fail over Internet along with Traffic Shaping and Restricted Internet access for the Kids.
3) Work as a VPN server so that users can connect from anywhere to Home Network
Neuvoo is a project to optimize and apply Gentoo for use on embedded devices. We emphasize the ARMv7a architecture and create a multitude of embedded tools and ebuilds for new and advanced Linux users. We are completely compatible with the Gentoo structure and provide more advanced stages for installation on ARMv7a devices.
RISC OS is a computer operating system designed in Cambridge, England by Acorn. First released in 1987, its origins can be traced back to the original team that developed the ARM microprocessor. RISC OS is owned by Castle Technology Ltd.
An amount of developer funding may be available for aspects of this project.
XBMC is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. XBMC is available for Linux, OSX, Windows, and the original Xbox. Created in 2003 by a group of like minded programmers, XBMC is a non-profit project run and developed by volunteers located around the world. More than 50 software developers have contributed to XBMC, and 100-plus translators have worked to expand its reach, making it available in more than 30 languages.
PANDA uses wl1271 chipset for connectivity (WIFi / BT), also wl1271 can be used for sniffing wireless packets.
My project aims at porting Ethereal (an open source tool for sniffing packets) to PANDA and using it as a wireless sniffer with the help of wl1271.
Project/URL: Not exist
Expected results:
Ethereal application will be used for sniffing wireless packets on PANDA boards using wl1271 chipset.
Gentoo Linux is one of the Linux distributions that currently support ARM. It was first supported in 2003 and development hasn't stopped since. With so many ARM devices being released to the market recently, we like to support it in our distribution.
The project will focus on providing documentation for installing Gentoo Linux and prepare, build and provide everything needed for getting it working.
