    It's software this time!

    I call this, "time compression". As I have gotten older, years slide by faster than seasons seemed to when I was younger.

    I'm using a 400GB microSDXC card in my Cosmo. Gives it adequate storage, but not stellar. The microSDXC 'slot' is a tiny little fiddly tray that carries the microSDXC card -and- the 4G SIM card. Dealing with that tiny tray and balancing the cards -just so- and getting them to stay lined up...

    So - many of us might remember when Eyjafjallajökull caused the Pandora to be delayed due to disruptions in air travel and transport? Now we have COVID-19 as the Pyra is getting launched. Coincidence? Surely someone can find a conspiracy theory to fit. For that we'll need some form of...

    I agree. My Pyra coffee mug is a bit on the small size. Beverages do taste good from it, but it is barely large enough for a good cup of hot tea. Hey ED, some day when you have about sold out of the existing stock of Pyra mugs, make the next order of them at least 16oz or even 500ml please...

    So - any word on whether this has shipped yet? I'm really interested to see what you think of it once it is in your hands. That and I am greedy for getting 3D plus Tiler working so I can have more fun with mine. :)

    As high quality microUSB 3.0 cables, both OTG and charging/device cables continue to become more obscure, I am in agreement that @EvilDragon should look into acquiring some stock of them to carry. Personally, I probably won't be buying any though as I already have quite a few from my using...

    I kind of look at the Pyra as a, "Swiss Army Knife of Computers". Yes, there are bigger tools/computers that do any one of the tasks it can do, "better". But, I cannot think of anything else that can do an okay job of as many tasks and still fit in a (albeit fat) pocket. Now hurry up and get...

    With @matzesu 's questions regarding cables above, I thought I should share these: These would be -very- short cables to connect the Pyra -as a device- to a USB C port on another computer, theoretically at 'maximum speed'. Eventually, we will need someone to create a widget for the Pyra that...

    Anyone ask for a refund for their deposit for their pre-orders and got any response back yet?

    ED is simply an honorable individual. He will do what is right. In the current world environment, though, doing what is right sometimes takes more time than some of us would like.

    There is likely still work being done on the charging circuit from the software side, so the following is regarding ONLY to my direct experience with Marble (my Pyra prototype). Both scenarios used the exact same cable connected to the exact same 2A USB charger port under the same conditions...

    The Pyra is a hydra - it has many faces. Most users are unlikely to have need to encounter them all.

    It's software this time!

    Yes - that is the right connector on the cable to connect to a Pyra. However, as @levi said above, that is a very light gauge cable. It might work okay for data transport, but I wouldn't try to charge through it. My Pyra draws up to 1.8 A. Another note - that being a -device- cable, it is...

    It's software this time!

    Is it weird that even though I have had mine for many months now that I'm getting excited about this too? Now if I could only find someone to help get Vulture's Eye (2D low graphics low CPU use isometric tile overlay of Nethack) working on the Pyra the way it did on the Pandora, I'd be spending...

    Obviously we're all wanting to follow along. Hope to hear that it ships soon!

    Preparing for a Prototype

    Launched from $ = launches to slide show open screen. Launched from # = bash: supertux2: command not found Neither one put anything additional into the terminal to log or debug from.

    Preparing for a Prototype

    Well, I got minicom running again on my workstation and am monitoring the OS pieces. I'm not sure if there is anything in there at the OS level that is going to be of help in this though. Launching Supertux 2 does not seem to scroll anything into the serial monitoring. So, I'm assuming that...

    Yeah - something isn't clicking. I'll just have to wait for you to get a Pyra. :) I tried loading Supertux 2.0 and the opening screen is still a slide show. Getting closer. Mods: If you want to get this technical support conversation out of the news, you are welcome to move it to...

    @daveshah Getting closer. Renaming to .tar made the archive work on the Pyra. Trying to run ./tiler/init.sh results in an error though: modprobe: FATAL: Module pvrsrvkm_omap_omap5_sgx544_116 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.6.15-letux-lpae-tiler [default]...

    More mystery... Interesting. tilershim.tgz extracted fine on my Kubuntu main X86 workstation but won't extract on the Pyra. I will try renaming it on the Pyra - maybe it is just more sensitive.

    So - I was trying this out and got to download the tiler_shim.tgz and... gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I downloaded it twice, same error. Doing this on Marble, my Pyra prototype. Is the tiler_shim.tgz archive in...
