I suppose it uses the same interface as hdparm, so what's the point? If hdparm is unable to spin down your disk, hd-idle won't either. Plus, it stays resident in memory for some reason (probably because it cannot set HDD spindown timeout, just issue actual spindown commands), while hdparm...

Yeah, the USB SATA controller must implement SAT for hdparm to work. I have an original WD enclosure which doesn't really open, so I cannot check what's inside

Actually, it does with my disk (WD Elements USB 3). And "touch /dev/sdx" gently wakes it up =)

Me too. Try taking your pandora for a walk while it is connected to your home wifi. With some luck it won't reconnect automatically when you come back. Or try to reboot your router a couple of times and check if pandora reconnects automatically every time.

The problem with NetworkManager is that it sometimes asks for the network key. The key is already in the dialog, but you have to click OK to reconnect, and nmcli is unable to bypass it. I'm currently testing a script which uses wpa_supplicant to connect to WIFI, it is working great so far.

Speaking of which, I have a similar phenomenon on my CC unit when I set the brightness to a minimum. Do you know if the flickering happens on LED+ / LED- lines (backlight) or on LCD_5V / LCD_-5V lines? I would not "crudely" kill the power, I'd disable USB host first. And I think it's good to...

I want to connect an external hard drive to my Pandora and fetch files from this drive remotely. It seems wasteful to leave it spin all the time though, so I wish to disable the power on USB_HOST_5V line via EN_USB_5V pin (GPIO_164). Is it possible to do it in software? Will it be possible to...

Is there a text version of this howto?

Thank, all done. I found that /usr/lib on NAND was missing all files, so I copied the same directory from the SD card and my Pandora was able to boot again. EDIT: I was able to reproduce the crash while messing with a non-compatible PSU. My pandora was working without a battery and the PSU...

Hi again, I have created a bootable SD card, but it won't mount the NAND partitions automatically. Could someone help me out with a command to do it?

I remember trying to build Miranda IM using winelib. The process was far from easy, because Makefiles converted by winemaker are not error-free for non-trivial Makefiles, so a lot of manual work was required

It's really nice for the community to have devoted users like you. Unfortunately I'm not selling anything. Could you explain why a CC/Rebirth Pandora wouldn't make a deal? I have a CC unit which overclocks to 900MHz and runs most apps I need, even Heroes of Might and Magic III

How much time was your pandora powered while wet? And how long did you dry it before trying on again? From my experience 24h of drying isn't enough for electronics, but after one week of rest in a dry warm place you can be sure.

At last I have found the issue. It was a faulty TPS60241DGKR chip which converts battery voltage to 5V. I have replaced it with the same chip from the spare board signed by ED I have bought when I met him, so now my pandora is well again. Below are some pictures for the curious. The faulty...

Today my Pandora managed to get into state where boot process never completes. The progress bar on the boot screen just stops at some point and won't go further no matter how long you wait or how many times you reboot. It happened to me second time this time, so I took a bit of time to...

Why isn't it possible to use the same stick for SDR (with raw data) and watching DVB-T (using firwmare decoding)?

Just to make it clear, may I repeat that my issue doesn't seem to have anything with backlight brightness. The white color is almost unaffected, while all other colors are shifted towards black (so e.g. a light blue is pretty dark, and deep blue is almost black). Also, my change is permanent...

Hi, I will need more advice on this. I have measured the voltage level on LCD cable pin 36, labelled "5V Power" in pandora hackers manual, and got 3.79V instead of 5. I attached a pic of the pin where I made my measurement, that would be the pin with a black dot next to it. I also tried to...

Does anybody know if this LOGILINK VG0002A tuner has the right chipset? It is listed in compatibility list as both compatible and non-compatible. I have asked the shop support by e-mail and they say they don't know:  

Yeah, it's $3 all right. I wonder if you will be able to read a QR code with it in a reasonable amount of time. I've had a bad experience with crappy webcams, so now I stick with this one. Best of luck though, if it turns out to be a great deal I wouldn't mind to have a spare webcam.
