It seemed like it was going to die with Motorola but they were encouraging about it just earlier this year.
<DocScrutinizer05>
the concept never was viable, as all savvy people explained
<DocScrutinizer05>
if it had been, I had used that approach ~2009 in OM already
<galiven__>
True enough, but with enough cash behind it at least something could have happened.
<galiven__>
EOMA68 is happening and it's a vaguely similar concept.
<DocScrutinizer05>
not really
<DocScrutinizer05>
a) EOMA68 is sort of half-arsed and b) it's a whole different league than embedded
<galiven__>
Yeah, but the idea a plugging the compute module into another form factor is slightly similar.
<DocScrutinizer05>
I.E you couldn't fit the connectors used in EOMA into your standard phone, to start with
<DocScrutinizer05>
Pyra and Neo900 are about as much CPU-modularity as it could possibly get
<DocScrutinizer05>
other modules are a pipedream
<galiven__>
The camera module on GTA04/05 is an example.
<galiven__>
Hackerbus is a way to attach other interesting things.
<galiven__>
If they ever get built.
<DocScrutinizer05>
sure, but the options are pretty limited
<galiven__>
Right, not nearly as modular as Ara was supposed to be, but I still like to encourage at least some amount of modularity.
<DocScrutinizer05>
sorry, I'm busy right now. Maybe later on I can find a reference for you where wpwrak, me, and others evaluated and commented on the concept of modularity in embedded
<galiven__>
It's ok. Just lamenting the loss of an interesting project.
<galiven__>
And I thought you all might be interested in the news.
<galiven__>
I don't actually have any point to make.
<DocScrutinizer05>
last 'modules' I recall for Ara were... I only can recall the pillbox
