| 3 | 11 | Hammel | *_PiBox_* is a platform for development of purpose-built consumer devices. There are a number of systems that can be built with PiBox. |
| 4 | 1 | Hammel | |
| 5 | 11 | Hammel | # PiBox Development System (the stock platform on which other systems are built) |
| 6 | # PiBox Media System (for media playback, video cameras, SiriusXM and other local media sources) |
||
| 7 | # PiBox Player System (for media playback of remote Media System sources) |
||
| 8 | # PiBox Kiosk System (for video and picture frames and similar systems) |
||
| 9 | # PiBox Auto-Kiosk System (for autoplay of videos) |
||
| 10 | # PiBox PiSentry System (for remote cameras) |
||
| 11 | # PiBox PiStore System (for file management) |

| 15 | 1 | Hammel | PiBox is based on the following software and build technologies. |
| 16 | 11 | Hammel | # Bootloaders (u-boot, etc.) |
| 17 | 1 | Hammel | # Linux |
| 18 | # Crosstool-NG |
||
| 19 | # Buildroot / Busybox |
||

| 29 | * All systems are working on their respectively supported RPi hardware. |
||
| 30 | 5 | Hammel | * Ironman prototype works. The prototype is an Arduino "light switch" managed by a central Ironman host using a simply touchscreen interface or a voice-controlled Jarvis interface. However, this is still very early in development. |
| 31 | 11 | Hammel | * Xeon phone is booting to the Dev Platform on the Pinephone Pro with serial console login. |
