    General issues regarding F2FS rootfs partition

    Ext4 works fine. It's what I used for the root partition before moving to f2fs. f2fs just seemed slightly more optimized for flash based storage. The current images are mostly meant for installation onto the emmc , being able to boot from sd card is just something to make testing easier. The...

    General issues regarding F2FS rootfs partition

    Yeah, f2fs shouldn't be hardwired in that config. and the kernel default cmdline should be empty by default. Uboot does change the cmdline though, so check /proc/cmdline for what it's actually using I did change that ages ago, but if it's still there I must have forgotten to push the version...

    build pyra Debian

    No, The current packages have a lot more pyra hardware specific drivers, fixes and configs in them that pretty much only work on a pyra. For pandora you'd be far better off just trying to get a standard plain debian install going. Which is what the base for the pyra images is anyway.

    build pyra Debian

    I'm still in the middle of going through all packages and trying to clean up/restructure a few things for bullseye. Manually upgrading to bullseye with the current packages doesn't cause any major issues, although for some reason a few of the pyra packages get flagged for autoremoval. This means...

    build pyra Debian

    What I currently use is this one : https://dev.pyra-handheld.com/atc/makeimg Easiest is to run it on arm hardware (I use a rpi4 with a usb3 harddisk attached), although I also run it on x64, using a qemu-arm-static / binfmt setup. The script basically creates a large disk image...

    One DBP a Day!

    hns already managed to get it going again, unfortunately performance is quite a bit slower than before, so more work to be done there. I think contacts with everyone who could help are already in place.

    Creating an "empty" OS for the pyra

    Which exact kernel , kernel config, and userspace version are you using for that ? I've just tried it with a letux-5.10.y and letux-5.14-rc3 fresh from the letux repo, and they all do pretty much this : (using letux_lpae_defconfig , which defaults to DDK 1.17.4948957 (TI) ) kernel compiled...

    One DBP a Day!

    The main issue was getting it working at the same time as the screen rotation. The 3D had been working for ages, but to get it to do anything you had to stop xorg, and disable the rotation. It's has been working for years now, there just wasn't really any software that used it. Quite a few...

    SDL 1.2 fullscreen position fix

    I prefer to build all the packages using the same method, and it gives me a bit more control over what goes on inside the package. Nice to know the box86 results are what you expected, I was a bit worried seeing the 30+fps average on the website. Please let me know if there are any other easy...

    SDL 1.2 fullscreen position fix

    Fixed it, and pushed it onto the repo. Problem was that I was using the wrong name, and it seems debian is very picky about including the package version in the Provides: field. Stuff like this is why I hadn't included it in the default image yet, but if this works without problems I think I...

    SDL 1.2 fullscreen position fix

    I'll first try to shuffle around some of the provides/dependencies of the libsdl1.2pyra-dev package and see if I can fix it that way.

    The big Pyra modem thread

    Of course everything always worked fine for me, other than the signal strength not beeing optimal. If the sim card has a pin, it should pop up a window asking for it just after you logged in. After that modemmanager can be used to take care of everything else. Using networkmanager to try and...

    What we learned and did during the last 6 months

    Yes, I've built a few test images of bullseye, by simple changing the debian sources from buster to bullseye, and almost everything seems to work without any major problems. Except for zenity, which unfortunately is what the current first-run wizard is built on. Since zenity fails, the first-run...

    Yeah, pretty much that.

    Pyra Nub Issue

    The dead zone settings are in the pyrainput source, there shouldn't have been any changes in that for the last update.

    Accelerometer and magnetometer (Bosch BNO055)

    Not quite sure. A pyra-sensors package would probably the solution. There are quite a few sensors, and they all seem to need various support scripts. Although if one of them needs some huge dependencies that might make it a better option to have one package for each sensor. pyra-scripts does...

    PyraOS Changelog

    All that pyra-config-* packages are built from the same source, so an update to one means the version number of all of them goes up, even if nothing changed there. Otherwise I'd have to make a new git project for each of the config packages, or dump all config files into a single package, which...

    PyraOS Changelog

    It's probably a good idea to have a changelog here for any major changes/updates in the pyra packages. Everything is designed to only need an "apt update;apt upgrade" to push the changes through, although in rare cases manual changes or a reinstall may be needed. 26 May 2021 : pulseaudio...

    Audio devices

    A bit late maybe, but the reason pulseaudio doesn't pick up devices is because I disabled pulseaudio's automatic driver loading (module-udev-detect). If it's enabled, it makes a huge mess of wrongly configured audiio devices from the various alsa devices on pyra. On earlier kernels it would even...

    Improve Volume Wheel Daemon (Bounty!)

    I think the problem is probably in the iio driver for the palmas (or possibly the chip itself), even polling a value a few thousand times/second should hardly tax the cpu. choosing another sensor chip to read a value from with iio (like the accelerometer) takes far less cpu.
