Hello.

It can be "non functional", but we would like to have a look at your source code / to your project structure to catch "potential legal issues" early. So the "board design" should be okay.

Thanks for your understanding. Have a nice week and look forward to your new project registration. :-)

Regards,

Sebastian Wieseler <kickino>

Hi,

It is not necessary to have the project now. I can resubmit later, indeed.

The project is in a very early stage now: actually the hardware part is not complete yet. It would be woderful if I knew what stage you would prefer to evaluate. Would you like to see the board design, or it will be better to wait until the software is able  to work?

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.


We wish to review your source code - but if you haven't got one yet, how do you want to use our Savannah services then?

Is it really necessary to have the project NOW or is it possible for you to resubmit when you have got any source code to show us?


For example, we would prefer to cancel your submission now and you'll be still allowed to resubmit your project when you have got any source code.
Whould you agree with this procedure?


Regards and happy GNU year -- the Savannah administration team

A new project has been registered at Savannah
The project account will remain inactive until a site admin approve or discard the registration.


######### REGISTRATION ADMINISTRATION #########

While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific "Group Administration" page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):

######### REGISTRATION DETAILS #########

Full Name:
----------
  Stribog the attitude sensing platform

System Group Name:
-----------------
  stribog

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  The project will implement a platform for measuring user orientation relative to sides of world: azimuth, pitch and roll. the hardware will include a magnetoresistive compass, tilt sensor based on accelerometer ICs and a microcontroller to manage all.

I have not any code to show yet. it will come after the board is designed.

The project will consist of hardware and software sections, both under the GPL.

The hardware section will include all information needed for reproducing the system, i.e. schematics, boards layout in the form that most board manufacturers accept and so on. this will be implemented using GPLd packages gEDA (http://www.geda.seul.org/) and pcb (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcb). this section is not software in usual sense, but it quite fits the definition of program given in the GPL.

The hardware will be based on Honeywell magnetoresistive sensors, the most precise relatively low-cost magnetic sensors, Analog Devices MMIC accelerometers and probably Analog Devices angular rate sensors. the microcontroller will be a Philips ARM-based LPC2138. all these are expected to show about 1-degree precision.

It is also desirable to provide possibility to connect the platform with some GPS sensor.

The software will include uC program, which should solve necessary navigation tasks, and utilities to connect GNU/Linux PC host with the board. it possibly will use some port of embedded OS like uCLinux or eCos, but most likely it will run without any OS.
it will be written in C and translated with GNU tools (maybe the http://www.gnuarm.com/ distribution).

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  gnu tools for ARM microcontrollers (http://www.gnuarm.com/)

gEDA (http://www.geda.seul.org/)

pcb (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcb)
