VoCore: New Layout

This one should be much better. Move GND from bottom right corner to bottom left corner…So GPIO14, GPIO15 will not fight, and cover one GND is not a big deal.

Looks like move a pin is petty easy… But it is not. πŸ˜€vocore.beta

VoCore: OpenWrt Patch

I made it easy πŸ™‚ Most part are copied from Poray X8. Some uci config are really hard to understand, have to read code.

Patch for VoCore. I am new to make patch, not sure how to add new file to patch…hope this patch is in right format.

http://vonger.cn/upload/vocore.patch

Two new created files:

path: openwrt/target/linux/ramips/dts/
http://vonger.cn/upload/VOCORE.dts
path: openwrt/target/linux/ramips/rt305x/profiles
http://vonger.cn/upload/vocore.mk

Then delete tmp folder under openwrt, then run make menuconfig, VOCORE will be appear there.

And to use it as a module, you’d better change “Image configuration”->”Preinit configration options” -> IP address for preinit network messages(192.168.61.1), and Boardcast address for preinit network messages to (192.168.61.255).

Any idea about this openwrt config is welcome, I am new to that. Please leave a comment. πŸ™‚

PS:
This is better, if my way is not working, please try this. Thank you, Markus Z πŸ™‚

VoCore: Alpha Test

Next mondayΒ I will go to ShenZhen factory to make about 300pieces VoCore. Its PCB is ready. I will upload some photos of the PCB once my friend WuTong at ShenZhen get it. πŸ™‚

This alpha version did not export SPI yet. Beta version will be almost same as final release version, still need about six weeks.
