This proofs that it's healthier to store a bitcoin in one's pocket than a pyra!

I preordered with Turkish Lira. But I don't mind the big loss I made because I happily received my DrügünBüx Püra :D Joke aside, the Pyra definitely is a great device, even with all it's flaws. Of course it's a niche device and due to these flaws not commonly recommendable. But for everyone who...

Wow, I thought the production was stopped long ago. So there are still companies buying OMAP5 chips? I always wondered how this chip was ever used industry-wide. I heared the chip also was intended for the automotive sector. Does anyone know where the OMAP5 SoC was or still is used?

This is not working in Debian 10 because it needs more recent libc6 and libstdc++6 packages only available in Debian 12 or Sid. So only the ESR version is officially provided. https://packages.debian.org/buster/armhf/firefox-esr/download However, there are still armhf builds for Ubuntu 18.04...

Yes

If you can't let go of the Amiga you can use MorphOS or an Aros distribution like Icaros Desktop. If you can't let go of BeOS there is Haiku. If you shed a tear for OS/2 you can use ArcaOS. If you can't let go of WindowsXP, take ReactOS. If you're sad about the discontinuation of OpenSolaris...

I totally forgot they do offer a RISC OS beta for OMAP5! What really surprises me: the build is even quite recent, so there's still active work! https://www.riscosopen.org/content/downloads It's for the devboards IGEPv5 and OMAP5432EVM. But I wonder, do(es) they (he/she) even know about the...

I had the same thought, but somehow I still consider this a more offical source than others. As I wrote in my preface, my guide will help (me or others) improving the Pyra Wiki :)

Revision history: 05.01.2024 Solutions to get missing underscore and colon symbols working. (not yet in the main guide) 01.02.2024 Get more recent packages in Buster from the buster-backports and the buster-backports-sloppy repositories. (not yet in the main guide) 10.02.2024 Updated this...

I wrote a little guide helping beginners and serving as a quick reference because many useful information are scattered throughout different places like the Forum, the Wiki (where you also find the manual) or the FAQ sections (both in the Wiki and the Forum thread). I would also like to add any...

The iPad Air is even older, if you don't target the Generation! It was released on November 2013. What I meant was: there are still many people who would love to call the Pyra their new electronic toy^^ Btw. do you know AltStore? It's a great tool to run any kind of software on an iPad or...

One could think you mean the Pyra, but you surely mean an iPad ;) Both expensive Toys though :D

And I was planning to make my PC super silent with the newly announced Zero Wings AI controlled smart fans. Sadly, not gonna happen. Damn you April 1st!

Correct, just an April 1st joke. Hope you liked it anyway. And thanks for not spoiling it yesterday :) The thread can be moved to OT now.

Edit: it was an April 1st joke. Can be deleted or moved to Off-Topic. I am excited to announce the first alpha release of Pyrafox, a new Firefox derivative optimized for the Dragonbox Pyra Handheld. Pyrafox is designed to make full use of the OMAP5 capabilities, providing lightning-fast...

First things first: has the IVA subsystem already been ported to the current kernel? The processor may have enough power to decode h.264 videos in software, but for enjoyable video streaming performance, hardware decoding is mandatory.

IMHO, the criminal is cleary TI who totally abandoned this SoC and we the users are the victims suffering from this mess of not getting the full potential out of it. Glad there are detectives on the case! The suspense factor in this thread is in deed quite high :)

So the Pyra already uses a recompiled SDL1.2 with some position and scaling fixes made by @ouzle, but it is still not working well for fullscreen. Hopefully sdl12-compat will do it, I will give it a try as well. About the Issue 1 (proper video playback): I have some questions about what the the...

Because there was no money on the table :D Joke aside, let's first check if this really works without issues...
