A new page has been created to support the (coming soon) Armadeus System's wireless extension board for the APF27: Wireless_extension_board
Since Release 3.1, SVN repository is no more updated. We now use GIT as version control system for the project: GIT_Migration

There is a new page to know how to create POD components
Linux 2.6.29 integration has continued and the new kernel is now ready for the coming 3.1 release.
AlexG & PaoloB joined us, but didn't fill their personnal page ;-). JulienL joined us and did it.
GPIO driver is now installed by default in rootfs so the installation procedure has moved here. Idem for USB gadget that has moved here.
A tutorial for newcomers has been created (but is still in "development")
PaoloB is trying to finally have QEMU working for Armadeus SDK

DVI_/_HDMI page has been created to allow (lucky) APF27DevFull owners to play with their HDMI ouput.
JTAG seems to be functionnal now
Camera_interface page has been created to explain how to connect CMOS sensors to the APF boards (currently only APF27)

AntoineR has provided us his SDL audio player example

First setup procedure has been simplified for newcomers: Setup
FPGA loader is now working on APF27 too: FPGA_loader
as most drivers are now integrated in default rootfs, the manual installation part of their respective Wiki page has moved/will move to the "discussion" Tab
Thanks to JulienC, a new page explaining how to setup your APF's Ethernet MAC address has been created: Ethernet_MAC_address
