Design Goals ​

The work after the board that is on the bench now. Where Libre Board is today says what Revision 3 is doing. This page is the direction.

Finish Revision 3 ​

Finish validation of the Rev 3 boards. Then publish the complete files and bill of materials on main. The files are already on the rev3 branch. Merging that branch is how they become the default.

Build and bring-up docs ​

Write the build guide and the bring-up guide from the validated board, so a builder can go from the order files to a running system without inventing the steps.

Other compute modules ​

The connectors are the standard 100-pin pair the CM5 uses. Test other modules on those connectors: ARM, x86, and RISC-V. The CM5 is the module the current board is drawn for.

A node and a local pool ​

Run a Bitcoin node on the board, and run a local Stratum pool on the board. Hydrapool is the pool software in the same stack. The CM5 is a Linux computer, which is what makes this a goal for this board and not for a separate machine.

Adapters for other hashboards ​

Ember One is the hashboard the USB-C ports are drawn for. Adapters from those USB-C ports to other hashboards' data connectors are the way further hashboards get on the bench.
