Drew Fustini

We want to revive the Open Hardware Meetup and make it a regular event again starting with this year's Congress. In the future we want to present great Open Hardware projects and give a space for exchange - alternating in the world of bits and atoms. Join us, present what you're working on and let's get to know each other!

For this first session we discuss topics such as: + How do we interface open hardware dev + community work with questions of sustainability / climate change mitigation? + Open hardware as possibility to repurpose hardware and upcycle things + Funding for open hardware + Public funding -> public tech We will be joined by Helen Leigh from Crowd Supply, Luis Felipe Murillo, co-founder of the Journal of Open Hardware, Cedric Honnet from MIT Media Lab, Mitch Altman from Cornfield Electronics, Drew Fustini from BayLibre, Shannon Dosemagen from Open Environmental Data Project, and possibly others.

Want to run Linux with RISC-V on Open Source Hardware? This talk will explore the current options including how open source FPGA tools can be leveraged to build open Linux-capable systems.

I will introduce the open RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) and explain how it is enabling a new generation of open source chip design. I will also discuss the important of free software FPGA tools like yosys for synthesis, and nextpnr for place and route, and how SymbiFlow is leveraging bitstream documentation from Project IceStrom (iCE40), Project Trellis (ECP5), and Project X-Ray (Xilinix).

I will explain how myself and others at Hackaday Supercon teamed up to get Linux running on RISC-V core in the ECP5 FPGA badge. I will explain what LiteX is and how it enabled us to quickly build a System-on-Chip (SoC) capable of running Linux.

In conclusion, I will explore the landscape of open source chip design projects and the Linux-capable RISC-V silicon chips on horizon for 2020.

This talk is a replacement for Jasper Nuyens' cancelled "FreedomEV 2.0" talk, as Jasper decided to not attend FOSDEM20.

Want to run Linux on open hardware? This talk will explore Open Source Hardware projects capable of that task, and explore how RISC-V and free software FPGA projects can be leveraged to create libre systems.

This talk will explore Open Source Hardware projects relevant to Linux, including boards like BeagleBone, Olimex OLinuXino, Giant board and more. Looking at the benefits and challenges of designing Open Source Hardware for a Linux system, along with BeagleBoard.org’s experience of working with community, manufacturers, and distributors to create an Open Source Hardware platform. Drew will also talk about the importance of the RISC-V instruction set and free software FPGA toolchains. He will explore the options for running Linux on open source chip designs.
