Olimex
yes, the project sounds interesting, so we can release such board

Should we go with the L9260 dev board - 139.95 €?

And with (SPI based) LCD - 13.52 €?

yes. i guess that's the best option for v1.
i only hope the LCD has long term support or else our player will become headless. ;)

Olimex is preparing a MOD-NOKIA6610 so I think that LCD will last on market. Olimex have some boards with it, so they have experience, good to help on make the final V1. Anyway, we will be working with dev board, they can help at deciding for any other LCD in the end.

So, what now? buy the boards and start coding?

I did buy the LCD because is not expensive. In the next 2 weeks I can buy the dev board.

I don't know nothing about hardware for programing nor debugging, can someone help? - put info here or on TWiki page?

you can buy the board if u inted to start porting right away. so far only 2 of us have approved for the processor. should we be getting more approvals especially from software experts here?

i still need to get TWiki permissions. will do so soon and update the hardware page.
