Project Description

Short 10-20 sentence description that tells readers:

Basic Premise - Load Angstrom on TI Beagleboard Set up SIP server details etc to connect a GV account to the board, and then connect a hardware phone/headset in order to use it as a VOIP phone

Goals

1. get a call thru
2. get a phone hooked up via USB or other method
3. switch from ethernet connectivity to wifi
4. attach monitor to create a visual gui
5. webcam integration if possible
6. bluetooth capabilities
7. additional functionality (ie previous call lists) to be accessed via a button

Project Scope

We have planned out several stages, and after just stage 3, we feel like this project will have been a success.

We are all EE or CE students in the 3rd or 4th years of our studies at UT Austin, and have a wide range of experiences among the 3 of us.

What license(s) does your project use?

For code written for this project, we will use GPLv2. When the project is based on an existing open source package, the license of that package will be used.

Existing code is primarily GPLv2 and all kernel code should be so. Some developers use other FOSS licenses, such as MIT, LGPL, etc. There are some TI codecs available for use on the platform that are provided under publicly-available binary-only licenses as well as other binary firmware builds distributed as part of the Linux kernel, but these are discouraged from being used as part of any student project.

Generally you should avoid using the GPLv3 license if possible.
