I run Linux on my GPD Win (with only free software, including free GPU drivers). With 4 tabs, Chromium is using 2.1 GB RAM at the moment. It quickly grows with more windows and tabs. Everything besides Chromium seems to have negligible RAM usage at the moment. Citation, please. He has made it...

Sorry, I was already on the edge of cancelling my order, thanks to the GPD Win working out so well, combined with the unwillingness to make the Pyra open hardware. The GPD Win's biggest shortcoming so far, however, is that it has only 4 GB RAM. So dropping Pyra to just 2 GB RAM would seal the...

Note that open does not in any sense imply the schematics need to be published, certainly not under the open license. I would be happy if the freely licensed schematics were only available with the purchase of a Pyra. While I do understand the preorder only covers the component costs, the final...

Admittedly, I couldn't find an explicit claim by ED himself, but I did find... Mass media, since May at least, have been reporting the Pyra as OSHW: http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/05/02/pyra-open-source-debian-handheld-computer-game-console-is-now-available-for-pre-order/...

Then just concede and approve a free license. Are we Pyra preorders not funding the creation of it? This seems excessively insulting to those of us who are paying for the Pyra. One of the Pyra's selling points was that it would be open hardware, and now it sounds like you're backing out of it.

Pretty likely. The lack of a camera is a serious flaw IMO. Furthermore, I know someone who can likely produce Tegra-based CPU boards even in small quantities. So can you clarify that the actual hardware design (not PDF) is under a less restrictive license?

1. schematics should come standard with any purchase - that most vendors abuse us doesn't mean Pyra should be the same 2. the Pyra's price certainly is more than double that of the other proprietary competitor; presumably part of the justification for this is it was going to be open hardware 3...

Hopefully this is temporary? Can it be changed to a free license after the final products ship?

The main webpage says "Mass production and delivery is planned to happen within this year."

Why not move the connector on the battery side? Is it supposed to be compatible with other batteries?

lol.

How to identify these? (Also, any tips on finding one that will break before my N900's USB port if it gets snagged? Lost one N900 this way already...) Even underclocked?? Every phone can boot off a dead battery with standard USB power I think... :/

Is there an alternative option to power off the screen and/or underclock the CPU during boot so it can start with merely standard USB 500mA power? (preferably auto-detecting what it has power available to do..) Are you sure letting the voltage drop to 3.7 V is safe? or could we end up melting...

How can the hinge be removed after assembly?

Any way to get the case LEDs bright enough to use as a flashlight? :/

@EvilDragon Did the CSI header get added? Also, can any of the LEDs serve as a flashlight (ie, bright enough)?

I'm planning to hack in a camera (hopefully hns added the CSI solder pads..), so I could use a second "defective colour" case. Uh, why would >2A be required? USB spec doesn't even allow >2A... you need USB-C for that, and Pyra doesn't have USB-C. But more importantly, I would hope idle power...

I like that it's a nice squareish space that could possibly be replaced with a camera mod... Notifications while it's closed. Being able to use it as a flashlight would be nice too - can anyone confirm if they're bright enough? https://www.pyra-handheld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Comparison_Chart

GPD Win already said months ago that they will officially support Linux (although it is unclear if they mean "real" Linux or just Android). Wait, I thought Sunday was both the first day of the new week as well as the last (eighth) day of the previous week... ;)

It's already an organisation...
