"ffmpeg -codecs" claims to support flac and mplayer plays samples from https://samples.ffmpeg.org/flac/ fine. However "gst-launch playbin uri=file:///path/to/flac" prints out some obscure error. Hell it doesn't even play MP3s or WAVs so I don't really know what to do with it.

Hmm it seems disabling the LED trigger turns it off but does not clear internal brightness setting. I've pushed a workaround for this...

So I've managed to squeeze yet more by making use of the so called OFF mode of the SoC: Run the update and enjoy (or suffer some new bugs, everything seems to be fine for me though). I thought OFF mode was completely non-functional in 3.2 but it turns out to work at least on some parts of the...

Yeah, the standard Xorg one that turns off the LCD after 10 minutes of inactivity (by default).

You could bind a key to disable tv-out when it's not connected, it will allow the SoC to fully idle. Or perhaps the screen saver should not only disable LCD, but also TV-out? I'm a bit unsure if that's won't break somebody's workflow.

USB host is controlled by the ehci_hcd kernel module, so "modprobe ehci_hcd" when you want to enable USB host and "rmmod ehci_hcd" to disable. That's with just TV out enabled? Out of interest, how much runtime it used to have before?

I've managed to squeeze some more by finding a way how to disable the 5V supply: The 5V supply feeds the EHCI (aka big) USB port, audio amp and (on CC units only) the LCD. So now when all those are not used the 5V voltage converter is also turned off. This means that there is no longer power...

Yes, but in case you already installed it through OS upgrade you'll need to use --force-reinstall , which doesn't work correctly because of some opkg bug. Workaround is to run it it twice, be careful to not reboot between those opkg runs.

That's because idle mode now has separate LED brightness configuration, it was just not added to the GUI. Try running the update again, it should be configurable now. Odd you had problems with wifi LED config, seems to work correctly here. I don't know how the theme is selected really. The slim...

Yup.

No it's not, you're probably just missing the kernel modules for it. Yesterday I've pushed an OS update which has the newest stable 3.2 kernel, that probably made the modules incompatible. The package with latest kernel+modules is this one...

- stopped HAL sending useless messages over dbus - hacked pndnotifyd, gconf, thunar to block indefinitely instead of doing polls every 3 seconds (or so) - something else I forgot You can only dim power and charger LEDs, others are on/off only. Changing SD cards while suspended can corrupt...

As my pandora spends most of it's time idle waiting for me to do some occasional hacking (something becoming more and more rare), I've decided to do a few hacks on background processes to reduce their activity. The other rather obvious thing to reduce idle power usage was to dim the power LED...

As if I've said that. Anyway different people prefer different things, anything wrong with that?

Pandora's benefits/unique features against Pyra (rather subjective): real analogue volume wheel unique audio hardware, aka "I like how it sounds". Pyra may or may not end up with better audio, but will certainly sound different because audio circuit is going to be different analogue video out...

On Pandora we have a DSP which is roughly as powerful as Cortex-A8 (on 1GHz units at least), yet it's not used for anything basically. There is pretty much no hope of seeing M4s being used for anything performance related really.

You can use something like inotifywait -m -r -e create -e close_write -e move /media/yoursdcard/pandora/

@bzar there is an issue that causes pndnotifyd to do multiple rescans after PND download that might be hopefully be not that hard to fix. PNDmanager does the right thing by downloading files to temp location and then moving to libpnd scan paths, but the problem is that it's closed after the move...

TI has abandoned OMAP5 completely (except several kernel developers keeping it booting on mainline kernels) before any real production device was released, so if you are going to find anything it will only be for OMAP4.

It's connected to one of OMAP5's UARTs through usb-to-serial converter, yeah. You get Linux kernel messages there and a shell after the system boots.
