Hi all, we see a lot of attention around KGPE-D16 maintainership problems. After discussion with Thierry Laurion (Insurgo) at OSFC2019 3mdeb decided to help in maintaining that platform by organizing crowd founding campaign or getting founds in other ways (direct sponsors).
Since we are based in Poland there is chance that even with small contribution from community we would be able to cover the costs.
Ideal plan would be to have structure similar to what we maintain for PC Engines: https://pcengines.github.io/ Where we providing signed and reproducible binaries every month and keep as close to mainline as possible. Of course if development will be active, then there always would be delta of patches held in review.
Unfortunately we don't have hardware. During OSFC 2019 Stefan left one board, but it was too late (and probably too expensive) for us to organize any shipment to Poland. We looking to have 2 mainboards one for development and one in our automated regression testing environment. Of course we will start even with just one.
I would be pleased if Vikings could help out by sending two KGPE-D16 systems for this purpose. You can contact me at this address for details.
Perhaps someone in CC will also be able to help out one way or the other.
If anyone is willing to help in founding, sponsoring hardware or by code development and testing we would be very grateful.
Please copy other people and share this post wherever is necessary to keep this platform alive. Positive feedback will help things rolling.
Best Regards,
