# TERES-I Laptop
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
TERES-I is a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Free/Open Source Hardware (FOSH) and Software (FOSS) laptop design leveraging ARM64 and x86 processors.
|
||||
The kit is ready-to-assemble using the instructions provided.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
Open-source hardware delivers transparency and freedom to the user (you) as you are able to tailor the PCBs according to your needs.
|
||||
You are able to add more processors, memories, etc.
|
||||
All of the hardware schematics and board files are designed using [KiCad](http://kicad-pcb.org) FOSS software.
|
||||
|
||||
> KiCad is free software. KiCad is made available under the GNU General Public License(GPL) version 3 or greater.
|
||||
|
||||
All KiCad design files are available in this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
## Software
|
||||
|
||||
TERES-I primarily runs on Linux distributions, but Android and Windows are also possible.
|
||||
|
||||
Different main board configurations: the first iterration comes with ARM64 and x86 and later MIPS architecture.
|
||||
Other architectures may follow.
|
||||
The concept is to make templates which others may use to customize so other SOCs can be used for a main board.
|
||||
TERES-I comes with 1376x768 LCD configuration. Future main boards aim at 1920x1080 pixels.
|
||||
|
||||
Assembling this DIY laptop you would probably learn a lot of new things.
|
||||
You can build it together with your kids or students, sparking interest in electronics and technology in general.
|
||||
You will know every bit of your laptop and will be able to fix if something doesn't suit your needs or gets damaged.
|
||||
|
||||
TERES-I is also environmentally friendly by default; you can upgrade your main board and not waste everything when new faster and better processor is available.
|
||||
Spare parts are also available for purchase separately.
