This talk will present the Fairphone 2 as hackable device and show some of the things you can do with it.

We will go through the hardware, explain our approach to open source give some ideas on how to extend the hardware and talk about some of the cool projects currently happening around the phone (featuring Sailfish and Firefox OS)

In the past one and a half years the MINIX team has been working on a port of MINIX 3 to the ARM platform. We now have a port of MINIX 3 to the popular BeagleBone Black.

In this talk I will look back at MINIX 3 on ARM and explain how it became what it is. I will show a few nice features it has, including some stolen from NetBSD and some related to automatic recovery from otherwise fatal system errors.

The goal of the talk is to shine an other light at embedded development and share our experience in this area.
