00:45 <WarheadsSE> leowt: just dual nic?

00:45 <WarheadsSE> and, in a box, or bare?

00:45 <leowt> yep, direct phy

00:46 <WarheadsSE> K, then the Mirabox should fit your bill.

00:47 <leowt> bare, just to use as a design reference

00:47 <WarheadsSE> Hrm let me see.

00:48 <WarheadsSE> K, processor class?

00:48 <leowt> Any armv7 will do

00:48 <leowt> pxe boot server

00:49 <leowt> and small sqlite db

00:49 <WarheadsSE> K, so armv7

00:49 <leowt> wow

00:49 <leowt> armada 370 its cool

00:49 * WarheadsSE knows it well

00:49 <leowt> pci-e =P

00:49 <leowt> i imagine the costs per chip and minimum order are high

00:49 <WarheadsSE> It's also the base board of the SMILEplug http://www.marvell.com/solutions/education/cloud-computer-for-smile.jsp

00:50 <WarheadsSE> we may be able to help with you get in contact with someone regarding that

00:50 <leowt> ive got a starting project to go on kickstarter

00:50 <leowt> im starting to studiing it

00:51 <leowt> WarheadsSE: really? that would be great…

00:51 <leowt> i love embedded devices, and digital electronics design

00:51 <leowt> but its always hard to find a "community" around that

00:52 <leowt> for now ive only found this irc channel =P

00:52 <WarheadsSE> leowt: I'm one of the core devs @ Arch Linux ARM, we made the pack for the SMILEplug

00:52 <WarheadsSE> well try to find a local-ish hackerspace

00:52 <leowt> i imagine there isnt one around here

00:52 <leowt> =P

00:53 <WarheadsSE> well, define "here"

00:53 <leowt> Portugal,

00:53 <WarheadsSE> My nearest one is ~ 1:20 from me

00:53 <leowt> microsoft owned country

00:53 <leowt> education = .Net + cisco crap

00:53 <WarheadsSE> http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Portugal

00:54 <leowt> i know some

00:54 <leowt> near where i live

00:54 <leowt> but

00:54 <leowt> not close

00:54 <leowt> to this kind of stuff

00:54 <leowt> in mindset

00:54 <WarheadsSE> Yeah, 1:20 drive is not "close" to me either :P

00:54 <leowt> if you get what i mean

00:55 <leowt> talking about, the kind of "hacking" they do

00:56 <leowt> wen you where saying "we may be able to help with you get in contact with someone regarding that"

00:56 <WarheadsSE> We = Arch Linux ARM devs

00:56 <leowt> i imagined other contact

00:56 <leowt> =P

00:56 <WarheadsSE> we have contacts inside GSI & Marvell

00:56 <leowt> yes

00:56 <leowt> that kind

00:56 <leowt> though that you were just talking about hackerspace ppl

00:56 <leowt> =P

00:57 <leowt> for a second

00:57 <leowt> but anyways

00:57 <leowt> armada 370 looks great

00:58 <WarheadsSE> There are actually many that are v5 that have access to two nics as well

00:58 <leowt> going to bookmarkit

00:58 <leowt> i like marvell

00:58 <leowt> a lot

00:58 <WarheadsSE> just few boards on the consumer market expose them both

00:59 <leowt> i am just using an M88E11111 for a usb-ethernet base design

01:00 <leowt> WarheadsSE: armv7 would be just great

01:00 <leowt> for a couple of reasons

01:00 <leowt> and this was just that kind of soc i was searching for

01:00 * WarheadsSE knows plenty, just pointing out that less expensive chips are out there

01:00 <leowt> bingo

01:00 <leowt> =P

01:00 <leowt> can you point some, anyways?

01:01 <leowt> WarheadsSE: but this dual GbE, v7, with pci-e

01:01 <leowt> just kills me

01:01 <leowt> =P

01:01 <leowt> wow

01:01 <leowt> sata to

01:02 <leowt> too

01:02 <leowt> didnt noticed

01:02 <WarheadsSE> yeah, very capable board

01:02 <leowt> thats just perfect

01:02 <leowt> pxe server

01:02 <leowt> images on SSD

01:02 <leowt> and dual GB

01:02 <leowt> with a reasonable cpu to handle that

01:02 <leowt> dude, i fell in love with this soc

01:02 <leowt> haha

01:02 <WarheadsSE> I think they max out at actual transmit at ~ 500Mbps

01:03 <leowt> very close to usb speed

01:03 <leowt> but tis enough

01:03 <leowt> *its

01:03 <WarheadsSE> Decently fast for an embedded board.

01:03 <leowt> very

01:05 <WarheadsSE> Just remember, there aren't a lot of embdedded boards that can truly hit the upper limits of GbE, SATAII or USB3

01:06 <leowt> yeah, i know that, but just saving controllers that go on usb buses, its… you know =P

01:10 <leowt> WarheadsSE: do you work with embedded devices?

01:10 <leowt> are you a electronics designer?

01:14 <WarheadsSE> Nope, don't work in electronics

01:14 <WarheadsSE> programmer & systems engineer

01:14 <WarheadsSE> I understand the concepts and have a lot of system-level knowledge of how these ARM plaforms work though

01:14 <WarheadsSE> If I really really wanted to, I could build a board myself.

01:15 <WarheadsSE> It would suck, but I could

01:15 <leowt> hehe

01:16 <leowt> we are a group of young ppl, trying desperately to learn more about the world between *nix embedded and electronics

01:17 <leowt> already done some forks of olinuxino boards

01:17 <leowt> and cubieboard

01:18 <leowt> but never worked officially with a chip maker

01:19 <leowt> so that our project can go forward we got to understand what kind of support does chip makers give to clients

01:19 <leowt> but to do that, we got to buy or to know someone with that experience

01:19 <leowt> that is what we are trying to do

01:21 <leowt> do you if they give some kind of design reference?

01:22 <WarheadsSE> I actually have to go

01:22 <WarheadsSE> Sorry

01:22 <leowt> me too

01:22 <leowt> =P

01:22 <leowt> but, anyways, i will save your name to talk to you other day. thank you
