I never said that I want them to donate a card to me for nothing. What
I have in mind is what C= used to do. As a developer I was able to
negotiate a reasonable loan on new models of equipment. I would have
a board on loan for 3-6 months, at the end of this term I either had
to return the board to C= or they would invoice me for it. I can't
see why this could not be the case with other companies.
We haven't had any offers or inquiries about this kind of arrangement.
I think it would not be impossible with a quite limited number of
developers. However, like Pauli said, we are a small company, and can't
put very much money on cards on loan. A 3 month loan period would be a
more feasible option than 6 months.
As for other developer support and incompleted software, Teemu wrote
a post that should clear it up. Now as we support AHI, the audio
software made for Delfina should work (upto a point) with other
audio hardware as well, excluding DSP specific stuff and the
minimizing of CPU usage.
Developers, please write about your ideas and suggestions. We can't
afford to make the mistake of the big ones and overlook what people
have to say.
