* What is hawkboard ? A OMAP L 138 based Open Platform designed by a small team of engineers @ Innovate Solutions
* What is Early Adopter Program ? Honestly, this is an exercise to educate the community on OMAP L 138 offerings and technology
* Who can participate ? Passionate Open Community members, Technologists interested in leveraging the OMAP L 138 technology and developing innovative applications, Team members who would want to drive and educate the community on the correct or right usage of the platform.
* Last day for submissions? November 30th 2009
* When will I receive the board if selected? By Dec 15th 2009
* What is the selection Criteria ? A group of Community members will be identified as Judges to review the proposals. The judges will choose the early adopters
* What after winning a board ? The Board is all yours, we look forward to the execution of your proposed solution.
* Should the solution be open ? Yes, after or while execution of the project you are requested to give the details to make this a successful open source program

Hawk Medical Kit
- Title : Hawk Medical Kit
- Short project description: Hawk Med Kit (HMK) is a portable Medical diagnostic kit
- Description
- HMK is a low cost portable diagnostic kit for use by Medical community esp for rural health care and on mobile health care units. It shall provide interfaces for open/commercial portable ultrasound probes, open or commercial 12-lead ECG probes, Oxygen Saturation probes. It could be extended to be used for tele-healthcare/tele-radiology and other cardio monitoring applications.
- Description
- Homepage: (not in place, yet)
- Why not on other board ?:
- reason 1 Hawkboard is ideal as it provides a floating point DSP for signal processing and ARM9 for control & UI for this device
- reason 2 Open platform provides opportunity to improve software & hardware for health care applications and promote interoperability
- Duration: 12-16 months
- Expected results:
- output 1 : Open Healthcare platform

- Contact: vu3thg@gmail.com
- Will you support hawkboard.org initiative ? How :
- 1 Contributions to its improvement and development initiatives
- 2 Maintain documentation and provide support
- One thing you like about this platform or initiative:
- 1 Such Low cost open platform seeds innovation
Networked Media Solution
- Title : Networked Media Playback, Storage and Discovery
- Short project description:
- Description
- A media player for music enthusiasts not computer or network engineers
- A complete solution storage, discovery and control
- Multiple Ethernet connections through wireless and wired to fit with any installation
- Description
- Homepage: http://www.simpleaudio.co.uk
- Why not on other board ?:
- Hawkboard comes with SATA giving a reliable connection to drives, USB has proved too fragile with openembedded
- Price - much cheaper than Gumstix and Beagleboard, both of which do not support SATA
- Duration: 6-12 months
- Expected results:
- output 1 : Products capable of forming a network where none previously existed
- output 2 : Media discovery from a range of sources and the ability to store CD collections internally
- Contact: stuart68@gmail.com
- Will you support hawkboard.org initiative ? How :
- Our work with Gumstix has already resulted in changes being submitted to the openembedded mainline
- Our product will require the use of most of the interfaces Hawkboard provide, our work will help to debug the drivers each uses
- We will feedback our findings to the openembedded wiki to make it easy for others to configure interfaces like wireless
- Push the use of the DSP with openembedded and not just use the ARM core for encoding and decoding
- One thing you like about this platform or initiative:
- Its use of SATA - without this there was no other viable development system with a similar entry cost
Data Acquisition System
- Title : HawkDaq
- Short project description:
- Description
- A Low-power/Portable platform for capturing of different types of data including Analog and Digital
- Interfaces with Capture Board through LAN/SPI/USB/UART etc.
- Processes the data acquired and display by demand through HMI interface (undefined at the moment)
- Description
- Homepage: http://audiomind.org/hawkdaq (nothing here at the moment)
- Why not on other board ?:
- Reason 1 Data - Hawkboard has SATA which is great if the user desires to capture the data onto disk.
- Reason 2 Price - Is cheaper than Gumstix and Beagleboard, which might be an overkill in terms of graphics capability for this application.
- Reason 3 DSP - Hawkboard has a DSP for signal processing which might be helpful in processing some of the acquired data. mini2440 does not have a DSP.
- Duration: 6 -9 months
- Expected results:
- Output 1 : An Open Portable Data Acquisition Platform
- Output 2 : Customised Solutions for Commercial Data Acquisition Usage
- Contact: wee.kiampeng@orangeknob.com
- Will you support hawkboard.org initiative ? How :
- Of course!
- We will develop the sw platform with the community and hopefully everyone will benefit from the exercise,.
- We will develop with & provide the hardware design for the acquisition portion to the community.
- One thing you like about this platform or initiative:
- It fits the bill of what we intended to do with other boards which lacks in certain areas and overkills in certain areas.
