It took us months to come up with this unique engineering sample design.

Yes, I will setup such a page in the next days. > Also, I'd like to know how open is the OMAP used in the beagleboard > exactly ? More specifically, what about the powerVR 3d drivers ? Can There are approx. 3000 pages of documentation of every bit of the OMAP processor - except the 3d engine: http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/sprs507f As far as I understand the situation, the kernel drivers are open source but the libraries are not. Details are described here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#Graphics_accelerator http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/HowtoUseSGXunderAngstrom http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbugencontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12700&contentId=27458 > we go without them now ? Without we still have graphics, framebuffer etc. to acces through X11 and cairo. Just no 3D acceleration and OpenGL ES API. But the guys from OpenPandora are using it and show some 3D videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnr4HCIoFlk ). So it should be possible to get them for open source projects.
