MC2 Post 1676 Crowdfunding a Custom Linux SBC the EZ Way

Thinking about launching a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign to fund a custom Linux-powered SBC for controlling your dream product? Gumstix says it has come up with a better way: find 50 collaborators, agree on a design, and have first articles of your custom SBC built and booting Linux in under three weeks. Sounds tempting, but how is this possible?

Gumstix has just added crowdfunding features to its Geppetto drag-and-drop embedded board design platform, letting groups of users share costs and designs publicly or privately based on various preset conditions. Besides supporting the design of custom baseboards accommodating the company’s tiny gumstick-sized Overo computer-on-modules (COMs), the browser-based Geppetto service lets users build custom Linux-compatible all-in-one designs using TI’s Sitara AM3354 system-on-chip (SoC).

 

And get this: the company claims its Geppetto-based build process typically yields working boards — booting Linux — in under three weeks.

To Find Out Why the Economy is in such a Mess,

Reading a little Drucker will go a long

towards explaining where we

stumbled using Economic Theories...

Reading Chapter 11: Economics At The Crossroads in

Drucker's The New Realities  (1989)

is a good place to start.
