Apply for OSHW certification #6

Closed huffeec closed 5 months ago

huffeec commented 6 months ago

Follow the process used in the My Baby's got LED application to receive OSHW registration for this board.

My Baby's got LED is licenced as CERN-OHL-S v2.0 is this applicable to this hardware too?

The libraries referenced in the documentation are covered by STMicroelectronics but are not software included in this application. I think we are applying as 'No software' here?

The documentation for MBGL is licenced as [CC BY-SA 4.0]

We will need a name, version number and description for the application.

Eg "An RFID/NFC reader using the ST Microelectronics ST25R3916 chip. The board gives access via a header to power/gnd, four SPI pins, irq and a status led. The development and documentation for the board is available on github, and the board is manufactured by mcqn and sold on Tindie."

Should this include more detail, eg of modes available?

Tasks required to submit application to OSHW

Presumably we'll also need to open up this repo too.

We already have a catalogue number (but the page isn't public yet); if you look on the underside of the board you'll see it's ibal243

We should go with the same licensing as My Baby's Got LED.

Good point on the name. Not sure what we should go with; I'll have a ponder.

Name-wise I was wondering if we could play on the ST bit of the chip and it being a saint, but the only likely option for that would be St. Gabriel the Archangel—the patron saint of communication or messengers.

In my if-in-doubt-try-Italian approach, I think Vicino would work nicely, as that's Italian for close or nearby. So it'd be the "Vicino NFC/RFID board"

amcewen commented 6 months ago

I've made the repo public.

We should put the name somewhere on the silkscreen on the board too.

huffeec commented 6 months ago

Current silkscreen for the back of the board. All the right information (I think), although not necessarily in the right order (or font)

Does your project incorporate or build upon other open projects that are not currently certified by OSHWA? If so, use this space to cite those projects N/A

SECTION 3 OF 4 This part of the form asks for information about your project’s licensing. In order to qualify for OSHWA certification, you must have chosen an open source license for your hardware, your software (if any), and your documentation. Your licenses for each of these elements will appear on your project’s profile listing.

What license is your project's hardware licensed under? CERN What license is your project's software licensed under? No Software ** What license is your project's documentation licensed under? CC BY-SA

YES x9

SECTION 4 of 4 As My Baby's got LED

** As much as I understand it I think the ST Microelectronics licence prohibits us including it here?

  1. No use, reproduction or redistribution of this software package may be done in any manner that would subject this software package to any Open Source Terms (as defined below). https://github.com/stm32duino/ST25R3916/blob/main/LICENSE
