==The XO-1.5 hardware refresh==
=Laptop Hardware=


The XO-1.5 laptop is a central focus of One Laptop Per Child.
The XO-1.5 laptop was the central focus of One Laptop Per Child in 2009.


A refresh of the XO-1 laptop is in progress. In our continued effort to maintain a low price point, OLPC is refreshing the hardware to take advantage of the latest component technologies. This refresh (Gen 1.5) is separate from the [[Gen 2.0]] project, and will continue using the same industrial design and batteries as Gen 1. The design goal is to provide an overall update of the system within the same ID and external appearance.

The design goal is to provide an overall update of the system within the same ID and external appearance.


Overall, the target is to match the Gen 1 XO-1 in power consumption while making aggressive suspend easier, and in price (while changing to components which are more likely to decrease in price). It is likely that both goals can be met.
Overall, the target was to match the Gen 1 XO-1 in power consumption while making aggressive suspend easier, and in price (while changing to components which are more likely to decrease in price). These goals were met.


The Gen 1.5 machines shipped with a [[F11_for_1.5|new software release]], based on Fedora 11 and including both Sugar and GNOME, and are supported by OLPC's newer software releases.
We also expect the Gen 1.5 machines to ship with an OLPC 8.2.x software release, modified to support Gen 1.5's new hardware but otherwise unchanged from the current production software release and compatible with our current software in the field. Gen 1.5 machines will be deployed in environments already populated by Gen 1 machines, so seamless software interoperability is an important goal.

The XO-1.5 hardware refresh

The XO-1.5 laptop was the central focus of One Laptop Per Child in 2009.

XO-1.5 is a refresh of the XO-1 laptop. As part of OLPC's continued effort to maintain a low price point, we refreshed the hardware to take advantage of the latest component technologies. This refresh (Gen 1.5) is separate from the Gen 2.0 project, and will continue using the same industrial design and batteries as Gen 1. The design goal is to provide an overall update of the system within the same ID and external appearance.

Overall, the target was to match the Gen 1 XO-1 in power consumption while making aggressive suspend easier, and in price (while changing to components which are more likely to decrease in price). These goals were met.

The Gen 1.5 machines shipped with a new software release, based on Fedora 11 and including both Sugar and GNOME, and are supported by OLPC's newer software releases.

Identification

The XO-1.5 laptops are identified by a set of three dots on both sides of the hinge cover.

Display

Main article: Display
  • Liquid-crystal display: 7.5” dual-mode TFT display;
  • Viewing area: 152.4 mm × 114.3 mm;
  • Two "modes" depending on lighting conditions:
(1) Grayscale (B&W) reflective mode: for outdoor use—sunlight-readable; primarily lit from the front by ambient light; high-resolution (200 DPI), 1200(H) × 900(V) grayscale pixels; power consumption 0.1–0.2Watts;
(2) Color, backlight mode: for indoor use; primarily lit from behind by the LED backlight; built in sub-pixel sampling of the displayed color information results in a perceived resolution of approximately 984(H) × 738(V); power consumption 0.2–1.0Watts;
  • The display-controller chip (DCON) with memory that enables the display to remain live with the processor suspended. The DCON also formats data for the display. ( DCON Datasheet )
  • This Liquid-crystal display is the basis of our extremely low power architecture. The XO is usable while the CPU and much of the motherboard is regularly turned off (and on) so quickly that it's imperceptible to the user. Huge power savings can perhaps be harvested in this way (e.g. by turning stuff on the motherboard off when it's not being used (if even for a few seconds), while keeping the display on).
Note: web browser images are currently scaled up so that an image of very roughly [800 × 600] fills up the browser window.

Gen 1.5 will continue with the existing display, although OLPC is working with PixelQi to try to improve the brightness and efficiency of the screen.

Laptop Development Schedule

Early versions of the hardware (bare board) should be available for driver development at the end of May 2009; see XO1.5 Bringup and XO 1.5 A1. A larger number of prototype laptops (several hundred) for software development and testing will become available around the end of August 2009. The OLPC contributors program will be the preferred way of requesting a Gen 1.5 machine for testing your software for compatibility or development. We hope to use the contributors program to ensure Gen 1.5 support for the wide variety of application and OS solutions created for Gen 1.0.

Serial Adapter

Serialadapter.jpg

In order to conserve parts/space, while the motherboard does provide a serial port for debugging, it does not provide voltage translators to fully implement the RS-232 protocol. Thus a 3.3V TTL to RS-232 (or USB) Adapter is needed.
