Kozio, Inc. (www.kozio.com) has made available free use of their kDiagnostics® Suite, for owners of PandaBoard. Users of the PandaBoard have an interactive guided tour of the inner workings of the board, along with a full design verification and hardware validation solution.

picoFlamingo is a portable presentation solution initially developed for the BeagleBoard and picoDLP projector, but it can be executed in any OpenGL ES 2.0 compliant system. Slides can contain text, images, live video streams, and 3D objects that can be animated in a 3D space and dynamically updated to produce advanced user interfaces. When used in combination with NetKitty, picoFlamingo can be controlled remotely through any Bluetooth or network enabled device. Simple remote control tools for Symbian S60, OpenMoko, and Android 1.5 are included.

No idea if anyone is working on this. But I hope so. I am not a developer -- I'm a dreamer. I just want this so that I can finally jettison my huge klunky Dell and get a truly low-latency, very-powerful, low-power, and low-cost alternative.

The Pandabot is a treaded tank like robot capable of traversing most types of terrain. The robot would be controllable by multiple ways, by setting a path beforhand, by setting a destination point or by controlling wirelessly via a bluetooth keyboard. This robot would be equipped with systems to view obstacles. This way, while moving autonamously it will be able to avoid obstacles and find new ways to get from the starting point to the finish.

The PandaArcade project is a miniature arade system with custom software and a homemade case. This arcade will use the Pandaboard to emulate origional arcade and retro videogames and it will have mini arcade controls. The system will have custom emulating software optomized for this compuer, the 7" screen and the controls and it will also have a custom frontend software so that it will have a nice menu system. The case will be made of 1/4" mdf board and it will look like a mini arcade system.

We are developing a multi protocol wireless gateway using panda board as our ref. platform. The gateway is supposed have Android as its platform OS. In our project we are developing an android based Application which continuously monitors the various wireless sensor nodes and updates their status on a map indicating their position and other sensory data they send like temp. data etc.

After a Successful extension of TI's ARM Cortex-M3 LM3S9B92 MCU with a FPGA as a Memory Controller Hub and Data Acquisition platform, I'm about to try and do the same work for the PandaBoard!

This Project will convert almost any kind of unsupported / expensive / or "hard to get you hands on" device for the PandaBoard with the Academic $59 DE0-Nano FPGA development board.
Five main interfaces are the main objectives:

1. Memory Mapped GPMC Slave - Half way there (TI's Cortex-M3 EPI is just like the GPMC)
2. CSI-2 Transmitter Core - All relevant specifications obtained!

PUIAS is a full Linux distribution based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The project is similar to the CentOS initiative, but has been around much longer. It is supported by members of the Princeton University and Institute for Advanced Study computing groups. The result of recompiling all of the SRPMS on a pandaboard is a RHEL-like system on the ARM architecture, PUIAS-arm.

A Class driver is a type of hardware device driver that can operate a large number of different devices of a broadly similar type. Class drivers are very often used with USB based devices, which share the essential USB protocol in common, and devices with similar functionality can easily adopt common protocols. Instead of having a separate driver for every kind of device, a class driver can operate a wide variety of devices from different manufacturers. To accomplish this, manufacturers make their products compatible with a standardized protocol.
