23:09 <jordansz> hi everyone, soletta is only for existing boards right?

23:09 <jordansz> im looking for a opensource truly hardware board i can add some components on-board which seems hard to find

23:11 <glima> hi, jordansz

23:11 <glima> the framework is meant to be easily portable

23:12 <glima> what os are you targeting?

23:12 <ceolin> jordansz: what you mean ? soletta is software, you can run it in any board you want (since there is a port or it's running linux)

23:12 <glima> as for i/o, you can always write new nodes to contemplate your board

23:12 <jordansz> i found that yes, seems like a really cool project but not really something for the novice? which i am

23:13 <glima> it depends on how far you want to go. again, what do you want to do?

23:13 <jordansz> well im trying to build an personal home security system as a challange i have multiple years dev and linux exp. mostly ruby on rails these days

23:14 <ceolin> jordansz: not really, fbp is quite easy to use (again if you are running in a supported board, if you it's not supported board you will need to know about the hw addresses to configure)

23:14 <jordansz> basically i look for a 'all in one solution' truly open hardware + sdk like soletta with tight integration

23:14 <jordansz> i also worked for an iot company they made everything inhouse ( crap )

23:15 <glima> well, you also happen to know c, you`re fine with soletta, i guess

23:15 <glima> *if you

23:15 <jordansz> yes i know c lua, etc. already a week long reading and investigating options

23:15 <jordansz> but wrong channel, my hardware requirement is a different channel question

23:15 <ceolin> jordansz: soletta has a good integration between hw and high level things like network ...

23:16 <jordansz> i plan to have hd cam + audio module + infrared + some other things that need to be onboard

23:16 <glima> we currently don't have nodes/packages for such high level data (audio/video)

23:17 <glima> but nothing that with a good design and use case could not be added

23:17 <ceolin> yep

23:18 <jordansz> the webide looks very cool i think i need something more 'out of the box' could you advise me any project like soletta that supports these things more out of the box and is more newbie usable?

23:24 <ceolin> jordansz: I dont know any framework for all your needs (soletta is supposed to fill this gap). I remember we have checked node-red and upm/mraa

23:25 <ceolin> you can check them and see if they work for you, otherwise soletta is waiting for help :)
