Anyone interested in a Linux-based robot solution?

At the moment this is as deep as the pool can go since the FPGA implements the safety mechanisms, and it doesn't seem appropriate for teams to modify the safety layer. Ideally, that layer will be opened up too, showing how to do encoders, PWM generation, triggers, integrators, etc on an FPGA.

Is there a way that any of the implementation can be exposed?
Maybe only the things you mentioned (encoders, PWM, triggers, etc.) without comprimising any of the safety layer.
Even a screen shot would be better then the virtual "black box" that it is now.
Some knowledge of how the system works would help diagnose some issues, even if they can't be directly fixed (indirectly through bug reports).
