    Risc-V microprocessors "Open-V" and "HiFive1"

    The current boards available are not impressive in the slightest, and seem rather useless for any actual use. I'm not entierly convinced the scalability of the arch is going to be worth much in the real world. The arch is still under standardization, so what its future will be is probably too...

    Pyra in the wild - the real life experience

    Well, anything except 1.5GHz and 1.0GHz is outside of spec.

    Installing/Using WINE on the Pyra!

    Supposidely, a hacked up version of Qemu-user could rival exagear's performance from what I've heard.

    I'm out of ideas for news-titles

    I've lost count on how many times we've gotten a fix for the 4GB instability. Let's at least wait until the fix has been tested on more than one board.

    What programming language should I use

    I prefer my code to not run like garbage :P

    Open... and close... and open...

    No, it was ED misreading the chip number. It was the DDR3L version they got.

    Open... and close... and open...

    From what I gather from IRC and the mailing list, there is no currently known work-around that makes 4GB stable on more than one board.

    So I opened this box

    I'm cautiously interested in one of the GP32 units, but I know I shouldn't be spending a lot on that hobby. Any ballpark figure in mind for one of them?

    Test the keymat!

    ...Is it the same box that made it the jump across the pond, or did you replace it?

    2G Fallback clarification?

    7 years ago, I remember peiple setting their phones to 3G only, since the encryption used for voice on 2G is so weak you could crack it virtually in real-time. I'd be shocked if it doesn't support voice over 3G.

    Possibility of software installation on external storage outside of Pyra

    If you're running debian jessie or later, and have an aufs enabled kernel, it should Just Work™

    Possibility of software installation on external storage outside of Pyra

    There's three main ways to accomplish it. The first is to simply install software on an external media, add it to PATH and LDPATH, and just use it like that. The system package manager won't know anything about it, so there's that. The second is to move that part of the system (for example, the...

    Test the keymat!

    I would go for a hub dynamo instead. Hit 88 MPH and you can light a fluoro tube right across the terminals

    Sensors in the Pyra

    Feature creep shouldn't be made lightly of. A euro here, a couple cents there.. Before you know it your BOM costs are up tripple-digits :p

    Emulationstation for Pyra?

    Odds are that the emulators that are the most fine-tuned for the Pyra will not be the ones included in retroarch.

    Pandora RGB

    technically, the LCD lines are (digital) RGB. If someone wanted mod it for analog RGB, it's *technically* possible. However, I doubt anyone capable of devising such a mod would waste their time on it.

    SCSI SD Card reader [Large picture warning]

    SCSI have a "5 volt" (usually 4.3-ish, from a diode drop) termination power line on the data cable, that is *usually* (but not always) fused at 1A. Far from every controller provides it, none of the controllers we've tested provides it anyway. The DB25 connector sometimes used for SCSI makes...

    SCSI SD Card reader [Large picture warning]

    Kind of. We had problems with the board frying themselfs. We now know what the problem was (didn't clean the flux residue -> slowly carbonized and shorted out the board). It's currently on the list of "one of these days, we'll get back to it"-projects.

    Circuit Layout Software

    KiCAD is a bit quirky to get started with, but once you get your head around it, it's fairly competent.

    It's all white!
