Im becoming a big fan of E-ink... cant wait in few years to see the evolution.]]>Feb 13th 2009 5:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/
Looks like the android dev kit has several test points arranged in the shape of a connector. Are there options besides USB for sending video to the display? USB is usually relegated to a chip separate from the main processor, so I bet there's at least 3 USB transceivers; one on the Android dev kit, one on the E-ink display, and one (or more?) on the driver board in the middle. If they're hi-speed, they've all got PLLs trying to make 480 MHz for the serializing logic.

Therefore, if the goal is to further reduce power consumption, I would investigate other options for transmitting the information to the E-ink display. I see it's a dev kit, and without docs it's hard to give suggestions, but I bet the eventual goal would be to place your driver chip and the E-ink chip all on the same PCB with the android chip.]]>Feb 13th 2009 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/Feb 13th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/Feb 13th 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/Feb 13th 2009 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/
Because it is open hardware, several people have taken the design and improved it into other developments and products. There are some other nice development platforms, like the Gumstix Overo, that show you just how small a system can be. There are also some even less-expensive development platforms, like the RealtimeDSP Mini Board, but I'm only aware of them being sold in China.]]>Feb 13th 2009 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/Feb 13th 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/Feb 13th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/13/video-android-powered-e-ink-display-kindles-our-e-book-fantasie/Feb 13th 2009 5:58PM
