HackGDL 2026 Camera Badge

Source-backed RV1106G3 Linux camera badge artifact

Electronic Cats publicly listed and sourced a Camera Badge HackGDL 2026: an RV1106G3 Linux camera badge with a 3 MP camera and public hardware files. HackGDL's official site records its completed March 14, 2026 edition and names Electronic Cats among sponsors; the organizer's public feed later promoted the 2026 badge alongside 2025 stock. These sources establish a named event-associated artifact, not ticket inclusion, attendee receipt, access-control use, recipient count, production run, or final deployed firmware.

Why It Mattered

It updates the Guadalajara conference lineage with a contemporary source-backed camera-badge artifact that preserves a public KiCad trail. The record deliberately treats the product and organizer promotion as event association, rather than upgrading them into a universal attendee credential or shipment claim.

Hardware

Electronic Cats' product and repository documentation describe an RV1106G3 Linux platform with ARM Cortex-A7 and RISC-V processing, NPU and ISP context, MIPI CSI, an SC3336 3 MP camera, WS2812E NeoPixels, USB hub, buttons, GPIO/UART, 18650 support, and a buck-converter power path. The repository preserves native KiCad schematic, PCB, project, footprint, and mechanical-source files. The reviewed sources do not establish a final populated revision, BOM, production test record, battery-safety validation, radio configuration, or which public design elements shipped in each artifact.

Software & Apps

The public project documents a Linux/Luckfox Pico Pro Max platform and publishes source and hardware material. This catalogue entry intentionally does not reproduce device-login, setup, or interface-command details. The reviewed sources do not establish a signed release, final deployed image, post-event firmware parity, camera-use workflow, or a data-handling statement for distributed units.

Lore

HackGDL's official 2026 page and sponsor deck place the completed Guadalajara conference on March 14 at Jardín Americana and name Electronic Cats in the event context. Electronic Cats' product page calls the object Camera Badge HackGDL 2026, while the organizer's public feed advertised the 2026 badge in a later bundle promotion. Those sources link the artifact to the event but do not show how many people received one, whether it was an admission credential, or whether every attendee had access to it.

Issues & Camp Impact

event association and allocation boundary note

HackGDL's official sources name Electronic Cats in the 2026 event context, the organizer feed later promotes a 2026 badge bundle, and Electronic Cats publishes a Camera Badge HackGDL 2026 product and repository. None of those sources proves inclusion with admission, attendee receipt, access-control role, recipient count, ticket tier, price at the event, pickup, shipment, or final distribution.

The catalogue treats this as a real event-associated camera-badge artifact without representing it as a universal attendee credential or completed fulfillment record.

firmware, camera, and deployment boundary note

The project and product pages support a Linux/Luckfox camera-badge platform, but this pass did not establish a signed release, final deployed image, post-event firmware parity, camera-use workflow, operating-state defaults, or a data-handling statement for any distributed units.

The record avoids setup, login, and interface-command instructions and does not infer security, privacy, operational, or final firmware properties beyond the documented high-level platform.

hardware, power, and production archive gap note

The public hardware tree includes native KiCad files and named camera, MCU, USB, power, footprint, and mechanical paths, but this pass did not verify a production BOM, component population, assembly revision, battery/charging safety review, completed test record, radio configuration, manufacturing lot, or final artifact-to-source parity.

Hardware claims remain limited to the documented high-level surface and visible source tree rather than being treated as an audited final production specification.

license and repository-media boundary note

GitHub metadata reports `license: null` for ElectronicCats/badge_hackgdl_2026, and the reviewed recursive tree exposes no top-level LICENSE or COPYING file. Public source and hardware files do not by themselves grant reuse rights for product photos, README imagery, logos, trademarks, social media, or other repository media.

The catalogue cites the source trail but publishes no image and makes no broad code, hardware, artwork, or trademark reuse claim.

missing rights-cleared image note

No HackGDL 2026 Camera Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The Mexico record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
