    SuperZaxxon v1.72 released

    Many thanks. It made a difference. Tahoma is now like it should be. Looks like it works just fine :-) And btw I tried to follow http://pandorawiki.org/Ångström#Compile_build_from_source_code and got lost in maze of twisty little passages, all alike. how do I bitbake current Super Zaxxon repo...

    SuperZaxxon v1.72 released

    Hi, is there some guide how to rebuild single  Ångström package? I noticed freetype is version 2.3.9 which defaults to patented bytecode interpreter disabled. The patent already expired so since version 2.4 it is enabled by default see http://www.freetype.org/patents.html and in older versions...

    How to calculate a price for the Pyra

    Of course it would need additional board for keyboard attached to PI. The size/bulkiness wouldn't be so bad, here are some photos: The position how it could be done - hdmi and audio would need to be rerouted by cable extensions to top (hdmi) or upper left (audio). Red rectangle is keyboard...

    How to calculate a price for the Pyra

    Exactly. I do not want handcrafted stuff as such, if IKEA made the stuff I want cheaply in hundreds of thousands it would be good enough for me. I do not care my item is not unique/rare. Quite the opposite. Lower cost items has higher value for me due to more people using/hacking/improving it. I...

    Where to get an AC adaptor?

    OK, I stand corrected. I was using usb charging only for all the time I had a pandora (3/4 year) and this never happened to me so obviously I never managed to discharge the battery so much to trigger this state. For me even if Pandora shut itself down due to low battery I could always wake it up...

    Where to get an AC adaptor?

    This should be same with AC adapter. For _any_ charging pandora must be started no matter whether over usb or ac because charging is done via software. What does it mean " I can't charge it". What happens when you plug in usb now? Does it boot to UI and then shut down? In that case perhaps the...

    Preparing for Germany (2011-08-26)

    I know. But the community was splitted like this since day one so nothing new here. To me it is partly jealousy that anyone can have better device and partly console religion with no real background since as explained in reality there is no way two devices are same regarding clock speed or free...

    Preparing for Germany (2011-08-26)

    ED later said (gp32x thread 'Pandora 2') that he will still try to find some ways. Also technically they can still bump up at least RAM size and keep OMAP the same. I guess RAM size does not matter to 'pandora is console' camp but it is big issue for the 'pandora is computer in a pocket' camp...

    SD Card Instability

    Found it again. There is whole thread at talk.maemo.org about it, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1000707#post1000707 The patch is simple. Just disable complex (and too optimistic for some cards) computation of timeout and set it to be the maximum (dto=14) the code to patch is...

    Humble Indie Bundle

    Also the system requirements are pretty high too. Shadowgrounds is the one with lowest requirements and still it is way above Pandora could do. Most of them won't even work on average laptop with integrated video card. Bought all previous bundles because I wanted to play some games but with this...

    SD Card Instability

    Changing one timeout threshold slightly may mean difference between failure of multiple SD I/O commands (that are typically needed to do one high level operation) causing extra recovery and retry code producing even more commands (that may fail too) versus simple success. On high level it may...

    SD Card Instability

    The "I/O error -110" means timeout. Looks like some class 10 cards are slower in random writes than class 6 cards. I've seen some patch that increases timeout value in OMAP3 sd/mmc kernel driver but cannot find it now (even google doesn't help). It was a link in this or gp32x forum. I think it...

    OMAP4440 Dual Core

    That's the wrong reason. I would accept that you are still busy or that it is hard to source those parts or that it needs extra money or you already have older omaps ordered or whatever but not this one. Maybe you can offer board upgrades to those really unhappy and make additional money on...

    Ubuntu Netbook Remix

    Looks there is a lot of work going on at TI, Linaro and Canonical to support OMAP3 and OMAP4 chips in upcoming 11.04 Natty including 3d acceleration. They currently support beagleboard and pandaboard. few random links http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/releases/natty/alpha-3/...
