OpenSource SmartWatch - PineTime

<< < (4/4)

Nominal Animal:
The only way to ensure the terms would not be muddied and only correct and clear explanations exist, would require language policing. :(

The best we can do, is change as the language use changes, and do better ourselves (by not propagating muddled half-definitions or explanations).  :-//

Dave's video from six years back, EEVblog #921, is an useful suggested solution for the combined software-hardware side of this, OSHW:

DiTBho:
p.s.
guys, about "free as freedom", I just paid ~320 euro (shipping, customs fees, all included) to see the HDL source (Verilog) of a PCI-fpga interface.

OK, it includes the little board with a SpartanII-fpga on it, which is the best chip you want to use in your hobby projects because it's 5V tolerant, but frankly, I bought the kit mostly for the HDL-code, because PCI is complex and that code is a complete working example.


Included HDL-source:
- two CDroms, everything is BSD-model
- you have to buy the hardware to see the source code and doc
- you can not share sources or documentation in any form!
- you can modify the source-code as you wish, but ONLY for your personal purposes

I have already seen this working scheme several times. Last time with VxWorks sources (Windriver).

So, personally I think what we have behind these two "OpenSource" watches is a great thing  :D
