    Pyra keyboard scancodes?

    Aha! Thank you. Yes, these are the (in my parlance) scancodes that I was looking for. I had confused myself by expecting to see them as hex values. And also because of the "keycode" in the caption. [Although, I'm still somewhat puzzled as the scancodes reported in the `value' field of evtest...

    The plausibility of an E-Ink Display

    Was that a typo, or do I need to go and get myself another coffee? Seems to me that single-rate 32-bit bus running at 400 kHz should have a maximum throughput of 1.6 MB/s. I don't know what the width of the Pyra busses are, but even if they were only 1 bit wide they'd need to transfer only one...

    THE NUMBERS IMAGE THREAD!

    Sucked back to 1058. What a royal pain! (Royal 1058 vacuum cleaner)

    Pyra keyboard scancodes?

    I'm looking for the scancodes produced by the keys on the Pyra. I found the keyboard page in the Pyra wiki (https://www.pyra-handheld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Keyboard) but I don't see scancodes there (just the keycodes under a mapping in letux-4.5.0, it says). Any pointers to the actual...

    Update regarding the cases (and some other things)

    Or purple. Or emerald green. Or purple and emerald green. Or emerald green and purple. :)

    What needs to be done before a Pyra prototype can be produced?

    Hmm... The >2.5 GB of used memory was not counting the memory used for the cache, kernel buffers, or shared memory. (The usage for those varies tremendously; right now it is slightly more than 6 GB.) This system came with only 2 GB and it was extremely slow under my typical usage -- swapping...

    What needs to be done before a Pyra prototype can be produced?

    I'm optimistic that the 4 GB problem will be solved either through debugging the software settings or with the updated hardware. It will, though, be quite a severe blow for me if it can't be fixed. I'm hoping to do with my Pyra what I currently do with my notebook/laptop on which I rarely have...

    Where's the Pyra wiki again?

    Ah, found it! The search box was being displayed on top of it. Changing the zoom level revealed it. However, I can't find any zoom level where the search box doesn't obscure or partly obscure something on the page. :(

    Where's the Pyra wiki again?

    Hmm... not here (Firefox 53.0), not if I understand correctly. Under "The Pyra" menu, I have the following tabs: Press Kit, About, Preoder FAQ, Technical Specifications, The Team, The Community, Image Gallery, Support us!. Thank you for the direct link -- I'll bookmark it. :)

    DBP repository

    Hah, yes. Sorry. The "Javascript issue" is more my issue than the site's. I should have been clearer: knowing there's "an issue", I haven't actually tried the site yet. I try not to run Javascript on my computer that doesn't identify itself as being Free software, (and in general I think that...

    Where's the Pyra wiki again?

    Somehow I've managed to loose the Pyra wiki! I keep forgetting that it exists as a valuable source of information. And when I remember I always have a struggle finding it -- I've no idea how I stumbled into it the first time before ever I knew it existed. But today I can't find it at all! I've...

    DBP repository

    @Silent-Hunter, @PowerGod: Thank you for the explanations. On this web repository (I haven't got there yet because of the Javascript issues), can one filter DBPs by licence? That would be useful (unless they all have the same licence).

    DBP repository

    Since this is the user talk thread, and stupid questions are allowed, I feel moderately safe in asking what's a DBP? To those steeped in Pandora lore, this is probably something as common as breathing, but to those of us who are new in these parts, DBPs are a bit of a mystery. They are some...

    Update regarding the cases (and some other things)

    Hmm... this is confusing. Does it make sense that they're only now experimenting with case materials to prevent the slumping? They must already have figured this out last month when they made the 50 cases that were destroyed by the courier. This Form Action entity is quite the enigma! Anyway...

    Update regarding the cases (and some other things)

    Yes. Perhaps when the hardware is ready, if a polished OS experience isn't ready yet, there can be a pre-release Pyra made available for purchase by those for whom the installed software isn't important. Then the other group who want / need a polished installed OS can wait until the "retail"...

    Update regarding the cases (and some other things)

    I was shocked and upset to see what I'd written quoted with yet another obstreperous and belligerent post by m@t. :( But then I realised that this had happened through the quirk of the forum software that merges consecutive posts! I'm happy to hear that more things have been ticked off the...

    Update regarding the cases (and some other things)

    Hmm... seems to me you're missing a substantial number of steps! I'm very happy with progress so far but there's a ways to go still, I feel. Here's a partial list from my tally: Current batch of test cases yet to be completed. Current batch of test cases need to be tested. [Possible final...

    Potential for Linux-libre on the Pyra?

    Well, there's no way I'm giving up on the Pyra: It's the only hand-held device that runs GNU/Linux (and, it may be, GNU/GNU Linux-libre) and which also has a serious keyboard. :)

    Potential for Linux-libre on the Pyra?

    I made a little progress in answering the question in my OP. On the Free Software Foundation's page on single-board computers [1] it mentions the TI OMAP SoCs indirectly in the following paragraphs under "Single Board Computers with Serious Flaws" [2]: The BeagleBoard (various versions) as well...
