Although I feel the opinion expressed by most that opening another SIG would disperse energy, and thus attention, is most surely correct; I also feel that an ARM sig could make sense if focused correctly. While the embedded sig may focus on bridging and solving the shortcomings of embedded platforms lacking a complete operating system, the ARM sig may focus specifically on high-powered boards able to run full-blown operating systems (Raspi, Panda, Odroid, and so on). These are another world to the usual embedded systems, and spawn a different kind of problems: library and package availability over specific distros, specific capabilities support (like hard-float) and thus compile chains setup, and others. Rosserial, openembedded, uROSnode... these are not of interest to those running debian or ubuntu distros on their ARM, as well as the bare-metal implementations which would defeat the purpose of all these high powered ARM boards. I think an ARM sig could be very useful if both it and the embedded sig are focused properly. Regards Claudio
