Novena: A leather-bound open-source hacker laptop that you can build yourself

2014-01-10 15:42:41| Extremetech

The beautiful laptop that you see before you, called Project Novena, was built from scratch. Because its creators have open-sourced the laptop's blueprints, you can even build a Novena yourself -- if you had a lot of time, money, and technical expertise, anyway. In keeping with the laptop's open computing roots, even the motherboard was designed and created from scratch. Inside the laptop, which was created specifically for hardware hacking, there's a whole range of goodies: an FPGA on the motherboard, dual Ethernet sockets, a USB OTG port -- and again, due to the open-source requirement, a Freescale iMX6 quad-core ARM CPU. The build took more than a year and a half to complete.
