As many of you know, I've been a real pain in the microprocessor lately.... Particularly about Arm, A15 and Samsung. Well in keeping with that tradition, it seems Samsung TV's are now supporting SSH into them and directly and hacking the firmware: http://sourceforge.net/projects/samygo/ Samsung is also very progressive on the A-15 Arm development boards, which are sure to create quite a stir when they are widely available (soon I've heard): http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/03/07/samsung-exynos-5250-dual-core-cortex-a15-and-gaia-smdk-development-board/#ixzz1p5yR3p7B Samsung Galaxy Nexus cell-phone that runs SEandroid, natively: http://selinuxproject.org/page/SEAndroid Samsung is also moving aggresively to support open source drivers for (ARM) graphics chips: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Open-source-driver-for-ARM-s-Mali-graphics-appears-1432447.html ARM is preparing for domination and is looking rather cool these days and Samsung is surely one of the most appealing (ARM) vendors for the open source community. enjoy, James
