awesome!! how expensive is it to build in the end? Will we build some for LAVA folks to play with?
It sounds very nice and useful - but what is it and why is this so exciting :) ?
I gave a bit background as a comment to my post:
Thanks for the explanation - it would be nice if such a comment were in the original post on linaro-dev rather than a one line comment with no explanation anywhere for mere mortals :)
" Basically a gadget that allows you to use one sd card shared by two computers.
Power off computer A and computer B will see the sdcard. Power on computer A and sd card will get unplugged from computer B; computer A can use it exclusively until it gets powered off again.
(Assuming that computer B is powered off at the same time that Computer A comes on) Interesting though I'm not sure where I'd use it and how it would work if I had a running computer B and it was using that device :
It's essentially being developed for LAVA so that we can test a complete image, including u-boot (or uefi or whatever) as well as the boot and rootfs alone.
Thanks
