Hi all!
My first post to this list. Have enjoyed lurking here for the last couple of weeks. Really hope that this campaign works out! EOMA is a game changer. Been sharing everywhere.
Just thought I'd share a thought with you guys. Please bear in mind that I know relatively little about hardware development so don't come down on me to hard with all the arguments about why it would be unrealistic! ;)
Would it be possible / feasible to combine something like this (https:/ /www.crowdsupply.com/lime-micro/limesdr) with the EOMA68 standard?
Regards! /fuumind

ooo... hmm.... it's a bit big already, and those are really highly specialist boards. in theory it's possible but look at the component density from the picture. the lower 1/3 is "analog RF" that's why it has the gold ring to divide it up so you don't get radiating R.F like buggery.
honestly i feel if you needed this you'd just plug it in as-is into the laptop's compartment at the front left, it would fit (just about).
some time down the road, if SDR ever fits inside e.g an affordable Zynq (ARM with FPGA) processor, and there is an R.F. front-end that can be made small enough, we *might* get an EOMA68 SDR computer card.... but woo-boy... :)

Ok. ****load of work eh? Anyway, one thing at a time. I'll be happy with just a truly libre laptop! Will keep sharing.

yeah :) look at the size of the limesdr team - there's what 12 people? aside from chris, the sponsor, and aside from the various people who've kindly helped out and encouraged over the past five years, i'm the only one full-time on this.
Anyway, one thing at a time. I'll be happy with just a truly libre laptop! Will keep sharing.
staaaar
I, er, wouldn't call myself full-time... right now I'm trying to reverse engineer a PSION Organizer II from the mid-1980s. Nothing to do with EOMA-68...
...oh, Luke, I still owe you that dang thing about the NexDock and all, don't I...? That's not looking good. I've got a lawn to mow and a kitchen to clean up. If FEMA saw this house, they'd faint dead away... it's gonna be a long, long weekend.

At this time I can make no guarantees... we'll see how things play out.
