A morning like others... But with a jump to the post office. Something wait for me. A box. In this box... La Fonera 2.0 devel. Happy morning !

  • 32 Mb of RAM
  • USB 2.0 controler
  • usblp, usb-serial, usb mass storage....
  • two ethernet ports
  • two SSID

Some shots :

The presence of the USB port is a amazing thing. Imagine ! Atmel AVR Attiny2313 microcontroler connected (serial) with a USB/serial FTDI adapter like this one (Yes, we can play USB with AVRs but i want to use all Flash for my code).

The La Fonera 2 come with a La Fonera+ firmware, Standard Fon AP. 2.0 Beta firmware is here. Web interface update don't seem to work for me, so just use mtd.

BusyBox v1.11.1 (2008-09-25 22:20:43 CEST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Oh ! A teddy ! 2.0 firmware will be quite nice We allready can :

  • Mount a USB disc/key
  • Play with Webcam
  • Configure FTP or Samba server
  • Make printer sharing
  • Drive a scanner

And... What is that ?

A «Plugins» menu ?! But, but... show me the SDK !!! Fast !!!

% tar xfvv fon2.0-beta-2.1.0.1.tar.bz2
% cd fon2.0-beta
% ./install.sh
% cd trunk
% make menuconfig   # for fun
% make world

Yes, we have sources. But not for all. The FON Status Manager Client Daemon (fonsmcd) is a binary file. Why ?
