* Personal Server Appliance Project
|
|
|
|
*Goal:** To design and develop a modular personal server appliance, featuring various modules for compute, storage, networking, power, software-defined radio, and audio/video processors. The design aesthetic aims for sleek 10-inch units resembling modern Hi-Fi systems or standard 19-inch rack units.
|
|
|
|
*Key Concepts:**
|
|
- *Modularity:** Core design principle, allowing users to select and combine modules based on their needs.
|
|
- *Modules:**
|
|
- Compute
|
|
- Storage
|
|
- Networking
|
|
- Power
|
|
- Software-Defined Radio (SDR)
|
|
- Audio Processors
|
|
- Video Processors
|
|
- *Form Factor:**
|
|
- Sleek 10-inch units (Hi-Fi aesthetic)
|
|
- Standard 19-inch rack units
|
|
- *Openness:** Implicitly open-source for hardware and/or software.
|
|
|
|
*Initial Scope:**
|
|
- Defining the inter-module communication standards and power delivery mechanisms.
|
|
- Researching existing modular server solutions or embedded systems with similar goals.
|
|
- Conceptualizing the physical design and aesthetic requirements for both form factors.
|
|
- Identifying potential hardware components for each module.
|
|
|
|
*Information Needed from Amr:**
|
|
- Prioritization of modules for initial development (which ones are most critical?).
|
|
- Specific performance targets or constraints for compute and storage modules.
|
|
- Desired level of user-serviceability and upgradeability.
|
|
- Thoughts on the operating system or software stack for the base compute module.
|
|
- Any aesthetic preferences or specific design inspirations for the 10-inch units.
|
|
|
|
*Next Steps:**
|
|
1. Gather Amr's priorities and specific design preferences.
|
|
2. Begin outlining technical specifications for inter-module interfaces.
|
|
3. Research available modular hardware platforms. |
