Potentially, though that would be farther out than we have currently planned. We are planning on potentially putting it in something like a netbook.
Probably not in Rust, currently, though there will most likely be simpler stuff to do later. Most of the code we're currently working on is written in Python (though I wish it were practical to move everything to Rust). We're mostly trying to focus all our effort to get the code ready in time for manufacturing a test chip in December, so we're in crunch mode for now.
Check back later in December and we could probably find stuff to do then.
You could also join in the weekly Jitsi video calls if you like, they're with us and others interested in OpenPower, we talk some about OpenPower & Libre-SOC and other random stuff, they're quite informal.
They happen every Tuesday at 22:00 UTC and go for 30m to 1h
edit: removed meeting URLs due to not yet figuring out Jitsi's security yet, contact me or Libre-SOC mailing list and we will send you the URL privately.
