Christoffer Dall lead a session today at Linaro Connect discussing standards for portable ARM virtual machines (video). About a week ago, Christoffer posted a draft specification to the linux-arm-kernel, kvm and xen mailing lists which attracted lots of useful feedback. Today we went over the major points of issue and Christopher is going to take the feedback to prepare a new draft.
As part of the Lightsaber project, I’ve been looking for a low pin count way to add control since the ATTiny85 that I’m using only has 6 IO pins. For the prototype I connected a button and a potentiometer to a pin each. I’d like to have an accelerometer and another button or two, but that uses up pins pretty quickly. However, if I hang all the controls off an i2c bus, then I only need to use two IO pins.
