The inital proof of concept is working on a standard Linux PC, but there is a nasty bug in the Raspberry Pi USB firmware causing the device to hang (http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 0&p=158380). I hope this will be solved in few weeks

Done so far :
-Added DGT XL clock message display to dgtnix driver
-Added DGT board/clock support to Stockfish
Playing strength
This will be one of the strongest dedicated chess computer on the world

I would like to provide a Raspbian based sd card image that loads stockfish at boot time.
Help needed : logo / documentation
If you have some graphic/english skills, I would like to provide a simple PDF sheet that explains how to use the board and the config modes.
