However, the lack of information on the Prime was going to set the project back roughly a year or so (nobody else seems to be working on alternative firmware, despite the proof-of-concept that was published in late 2014 (or was it 2015?)). In the end I decided to stick with the 50g hardware for the time being, as we have it running already and making nice progress. Also, I thought it's easier for people to buy a second 50g to try newRPL than buying a second Prime. But if/when the 50g starts disappearing from the market we'll have to reconsider migrating to other hardware. I'm also paying close attention to the DM-42 project. If the hardware is able to run newRPL it could be an interesting platform, if anything to help support the only person that's designing new hardware nowadays. newRPL is and remains highly portable, but it takes some work to port from one platform to another, which is better spent moving the project forward rather than going sideways from device to device. |
