Well, this thread exploded in a good way. Welcome back everyone!

I fired up to command line to check this and ... encountered keyboard mapping errors. Works: Fn + C = [ Works: Fn + V = ] Fails to produce anything: Fn + H should be | but results in nothing. Fn + F should be { but results in nothing. Fn + G should be } but results in nothing. There are...

Alright. I was able to hit enter and get to a login - and log into it from command line. I have something for you from Xorg.0.log. (II) LoadModule: "omap5" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module omap5 (EE) Failed to load module "omap5" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) No drivers available. Fatal...

Just a note - I want to help test stuff - but I also don't want to waste your "Pyra Time" by doing tech support for my benefit. If it is easier to say, 'wait for the next round of release', that is fine too.

I got through the step for replacing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-fbturbo.conf with the contents provided. I did that step on my Linux workstation so I could just copy/paste the contents in. The next boot on the Pyra resulted in getting stuck in the boot process. Removed battery, restarted, same...

Agreed - just one more bit to add to the list.

Alright - that bit is solved now. I can use left-shoulder-shift again. Who do we let know about the issue in the posted image?

Sounds to me like the issue is within that linked image? The issue occurs when I boot from a fresh OS image using the above mentioned link off of a known good 64GB Samsung Evo Select microSDXC card in a straight through SanDisk microSDXC to SDXC adapter to fit in the left SDXC slot on the Pyra...

Alright. So I built a new SD card image to boot from - same weird behavior from the left shoulder shift. Are you sure you and I are using the same mate.img file? I am using the one from the link from the @daveshah post...

Alright. I did that on my boot card. No change in above reported behavior. Left Fn (Top left shoulder) is working as expected/normal. Lower left shoulder Shift is auto-launching a separate instance of Caja file browser for every partition on both cards (left and right slots) when held +...

So I was fiddling around in the latest OS version. Every time I hit the shoulder shift it pops up individual file browsers for every partition on the device. So - what's up with that? 5.6.15-letux-lpae-tiler Frustrating to not have that shoulder shift - assuming that can get fixed.

Agreed. There is no practical point to going to 8GB RAM. But, beyond marketing specs, there wasn't much practical point to going to 4GB RAM either. I don't think I have even crossed 1GB RAM in use on my prototype. There is always a clamoring for new/better/more though. People have been...

I still don't think that the move from 2GB to 4GB was worth the delay to the project that it caused (arguably between 6 months and 1 year). There are still learning moments around how to deal with the 4GB and where the graphics system stores things. But, on the flip side, there is now a lot...

You're fine on the funny by me. IMHO those still refusing to wear masks should be arrested for assault, or at least ticketed for public nuisance.

In my idealized perfect world... I would like my Pyra to cold boot from the microSDXC card (it already does this with the shoulder button pressed). I have a 1TB Sandisk microSDXC card that I have been using for another project. They seem to be good. I plan to use one in the interior...

State in detail what commands you want entered into a Pyra to give you information that you want regarding the GPS bits? Really - there isn't much ready for software support on the peripheral devices yet. It is going to take a bit of time to get there. Patience. If someone has a program...

I don't think there is much point in pursuing anything that doesn't double the performance per watt of the existing while staying within the existing envelope. I.e. it is going to have to be something in the 10nm or maybe 14nm process space while still being something that this project can...

You want a camera on a server? On a game controller? On a set top box? On a terminal? I do not see the relevance.

I'm not fond of 90% of what falls into the genre of "Country Music", but I do like Johnny Cash. I think it is mostly due to the story telling aspect of his songs. But, we're straying off topic again - this time into music. Software developments - most of those are over in Dave's thread right...

There are a few aspects to the modular nature of the Pyra design that I think get missed. Upgrading the SoC / RAM / eMMC board gets talked about a lot - but consider flipping that around. Now that the Pyra's SoC / RAM / eMMC board exists, it could hypothetically be used in additional device...
