VoCore: USB Test

These days I am working on PayPal, they limited my account…Hope this thing be solved soon.

Someone said I will cost 20% on develop and 80% on other mess things, now I know he is absolutely right 😀

This is my USB test platform, looks like I make a mistake on the first version of dock, USB can not work, so I have to make this ugly thing 😀IMG_20140604_135837 Lucky me, everything works normal. vocore.usb   in /dev/ the sda node appears, next, I need to mount it to system, then I can read/write the USB disk. But my USB disk is ExFAT format, and I did not compile that support to VoCore firmware, so need some more work. vocore.sda Time for lunch. 🙂

About MT7688 & MT7681

I get a news from some website. It said MTK will public MT7688 which has embedded 256MB(or 256Mb?) memory, power consume will be cut to 40% about later 2014.

It will be expansive to embed memory on the chip…This will become an magic chip for hobbyist, just pray for the price lower, lower, lower…

Anyway, this will not effect current VoCore, if I use it to make a smaller VoCore but cost much more than raspberrypi+wifi, that is useless. And new chip will always have tons of bug, at least two years for the stable, I do not want to be the little white rat. 😀
