WHAT IS OSHW?
Open source hardware is hardware whose
design is made publicly available so that anyone
can study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the
design or hardware based on that design.
CAD files are the “source” not PDF not JPG
pictures! Free for download – no logins, no
registrations to access them!
No CAD → No Open Source
4. Do It Yourself OSHW Linux Computer
How it Started?
Inspired by
Embedded World, February 2012, after almost 1 year of waiting RPi
foundation show … the only two boards they had produced ...
These who ordered later had to wait 16 weeks for delivery...
Why not design similar board and open source it,
so every one could make his own Linux computer
at home?
