As a recent ex-employee of Imagination (from the powervr graphics
division, rather than MIPS) I have a first edition CI20 creator board
(the one with the non-rectangular PCB and reportedly worse wi-fi
performance, I don't remember the other details of the differences
between this and the subsequent edition) which I got at a knock down
price. This has a 32-bit MIPS processor on it (again, don't remember the
details although I'm sure they won't be too hard to find online).
Unfortunately I haven't the time to play with it at the moment. As a
long-time lurker I'm happy to donate the board to whatever noble aims
your usergroup forces upon it. However, as a recidivist Yorkshireman,
I'm no longer in the area. If you think this could be useful, let me
know where you'd like me to post it.

Note, I couldn't find a case online for the CI20 (the 2nd edition has a
CAD file of a case freely accessible, but not the first).

Thanks,

Freddie

Hi all

I'm new in this list. My name is Alexjan, and I have some experience
with CI20 and Linux. So if  you are interested I can share something
about this.
I have the CI20 too (the second, not the third), if you are interested
I could do a little demo if a space is available.

Regards
Alexjan
