ContemplatedPlatforms
v8 v9 3 3 A list of platforms (computers, devices) that we find interesting as potential target for HelenOS. The devices which are open or at least Linux-based, should be reasonably hackable. Many believe that we should primarily focus on state-of-the-art platforms instead of porting HelenOS to interesting ancient machines. However, supporting ancient machines, if time permits, can be used to demonstrate solid software design and openness. 4 4 5 == [http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Ben_NanoNote Ben NanoNote] == 6 || '''Device class''' || mini netbook || 7 || '''Dimensions (w x h x d)''' || 99 mm x 75 mm x 17.5 mm || 8 || '''Weight (incl. batt)''' || 126 g || 9 || '''Hackability''' || fully documented || 10 || '''CPU''' || 336 MHz Ingenic Semiconductor JZ4740 SoC (MIPS-II compatible, 32b) || 11 || '''Availability''' || readily available from distributors worldwide ([http://hackable-devices.org/shop/product/nanonote EU]) || 12 || '''Input''' || integrated keyboard || 13 || '''Approx. price''' || 110 EUR (incl.
