Novena is an open-source computing platform by Andrew "Bunnie" Huang and Sean "Xobs" Cross. It will be released by Kosagi and funded by a crowdfunding campaign which began on April 15, 2014. The launch offering is a 1.2 GHz Freescale quad-core ARM architecture computer closely coupled with a Xilinx FPGA. It is offered in "desktop", "laptop", or "heirloom laptop" form, or as a standalone motherboard. On 19 May 2014 at 06:59 UTC, the crowdfunding campaign concluded having raised just over 280% of its target 250.000 USD. The extra funding has allowed the project to achieve 4 "stretch goals": the development of Free software graphics drivers; the inclusion of a general-purpose breakout board; the inclusion of a "ROMulator" breakout board; and the inclusion of the MyriadRF software defined radio with the "system-level" offerings. They were set on 24 April. The first was achieved on 12 May, and the latter 3 were achieved on the 16th. This is the only laptop that ships simply with a screwdriver; users would be required to install the battery themselves, screw on the LCD bezel of their choice, and obtain speakers as a kit instead of using speaker boxes. Owners of a 3D printer can make and fine tune their own speaker box. The main boards are manufactured by AQS, an EMS provider.〔(The World's First Open Source Laptop Makes its Debut - Make: )〕〔(AQS )〕 ==See also== * ath9k * 3D printing * Modular design * Modular smartphone * Open Compute Project * Rollable display 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Novena (computing platform)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
