the state of the maple tree
Hi everyone! As you can probably tell from Okie’s awesome picture in the post below, we got back the prototypes for Maple Rev2 about a week ago. You may recall that the revisions were to fix two issues. The first is that the I/O has been relabeled in a format we think makes more sense [...]
A good story to come… Great things have been brewing. Show us what you’ve been cooking!
Maple on Mac OS X!
With revision 115, the maple IDE works on OS X 10.5, provided you use an external power source (due to the dfu problems mentioned above. To build it, make sure you have developer tools installed. There is an external dependency on two GNU libraries, gmp and mpfr. These can be obtained through macports.
First, go to [...]
Blinky!!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
We have gotten reports that Maple’s are being delivered and several users have
successfully gotten Blinky style programs running from the IDE. This is great
news! Here is a short update.
We are currently working on a getting started guide, detailing how to

As we tracked our package across the world our excitement turned to panic. The components spent a few stagnant days in [...]

Yeah, Yeah, its coming…
Silly customs glitched our release timing going on 9 days now! ugh! We’ve been using the extra days to polish up the arduino-port. The principle hiccups have been portability on mac/linux/windows. We usually play in linux, so thats the trivial build. However, Maple depends on dfu-util (from openMoko) and arm-eabi-gcc (codesourcery) and getting these to [...]
What’s the deal with pre-ordering?
Some of you may have noticed that there has been a store page flickering on and off on our blog. Yes, it’s pre-order season.
We had a few kinks left with paypal, but they should be straightened and now you can pre-order your very own Maple! But why, you may ask?
Well, most relevant to you, we [...]
