    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    Does anyone know which Device tree the Pyra boots with? There is about 10 Pyra related dtb's in the boot folder.. I see the EVM ones are probably the Ti evaluation board.. but I'm not sure which one is currently used, or how to find that out. I've tried searching all the configs and files, but...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    One can dream.. even if we are limited via physical bandwidth, I'd hope one of the high end UHS-1 cards would have a much higher IOPS memory chip. So things like random reads and writes would still be substantially improved hopefully.. who knows. One can try, but I've been pretty surprised with...

    Physical vs on screen keyboard

    I'd love to see someone with fast thumbs rip through at 60WPM on the Pyra. It's a rubber keymat, you'd have to get very framiliar with how far the press is for it to register. That's why it seems like I'm slamming on the keys, hence the slowdown. Also, the layout is a little unique, especially...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    The Pyra, as I've stated earlier.. to me is an adult mental gymnastics device. Break things, fix things, improve things, play with it, etc. It's a dream machine for people who love to tinker, and having the rare privilege of owning one of these devices, I intend to leave something for the...

    Physical vs on screen keyboard

    I think if I REALLY tried, I could get to ~45WPM, Its hard to touch type with instant feedback like on my Galaxy Fold 3.. which I can easily get 60-65WPM on. Different typing experience I guess. Keyboard does sound pretty good I've realized though!

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    I have no idea how I didn't see that, thank you for mentioning that. I'd love to have a gerber file of the PCB, that way I could print out a mask on paper to cut a heatsink with and measure properly!! There are pads for an 8 pin SOT package that's unpopulated on the PCB I've been eyeing up, it...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    Would love to do that with the LCD! Could put some cool radio/SDR receiver dongles in there off one of these: I just hope these projects inspire people to want to get involved in the Pyra platform and community; an "adult rubrics cube" if you will. Once we get full case models, and schematics...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    I think to start, I'm just going to wire them to a rail, but as thing progress and I figure out how the GPIO works, I might weasle in something that does PWM based on CPU temp to set fan speed. There are 3 pin versions for all of these fans.

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    A little Birdy dropped off a package at my house today! Holy moly these things are impressively small... I also got my aerogel insulation, thermal pads, heatsinks, and copper sheets with coating on one side! I'll start strategizing on assembly soon! If anyone has any schematics or knows which...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    I'd would like to think so. Nothing I'm doing is particularly.. "exotic" for the most part. I'm really just trying to surround the current limitations with modern technology to brute force a solution. Personally, I think these Sunon fans (once I get them this week, with the rest of my orders)...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    In my honest opinion, I think a top priority down the line is to just bite the bullet and pick a new SoC for an upgrade. Something that's more modern, has proper documentation and drivers, that creates less back porting and patching to get the Ti chip working properly. I'd imagine basically...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    Fujipoly Extremes are pretty great, it's what I have on my Laptop with a RTX 3080 for the VRAM! I just spent $120 on cooling stuff at Digikey, fans, conductors, insulators, and another copper plate coated in PTE (like the stock one, I'll cut myself to make a larger heatsink). I used Thermal...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    I wish I'd taken some pictures of the heatsink that interfaces with the SoC. It does have a "industrial" thermal pad/adhesive square, but from my experience, most of these thermal adhesives are pretty horrendous (W/m K). To put it into perspective, most industrial thermal adhesives are around...

    20*C Cooler, and now with water resistance!

    Alright, so a bit of a joke on the second half! I spent a few hours last night pondering some cooling improvements to the Pyra's CPU board to mitigate throttling and improve device performance. Few things I wanted to nip at the bud are: -Throttling after about 10 minutes of heavy use. > Pushes...

    Armhf + Box86 + GL4ES + Wine = OpenMW!

    This one should be what I was using, pretty much everything is straight forward sans the MyGUI portion. https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/wikis/development/development_environment_setup/linux You'll need to setup pinning to get apt to pull from unstable.

    Armhf + Box86 + GL4ES + Wine = OpenMW!

    My experience exactly! Though, as a "last ditch" effort it actually isn't terrible if it runs. Luckily OpenMW exists, as the real Windows Binary blew a gasket trying to run. Pretty sure it was trying to force D3D, and Wine wasn't having it. OpenMW worked out if the box with OpenGL so that was...

    Armhf + Box86 + GL4ES + Wine = OpenMW!

    My first real accomplishment on the Pyra after monkeying around and configuring things. I finally got a "real" game working on the Pyra. No easy way out/DBP's here. My goal was to get OpenMW on this thing, one way or another, and I'm 90% of the way there. I tried compiling OpenMW from source...

    A short-trip to Greece

    Thanks for the update! I have no qualms with having all clear plastics, I know many people like blacks and silvers as colors, but I'm more than happy with transparent parts! If the cases get painted anyways, couldn't you just make all the plastics clear for quality/strength purposes? That way...

    What dit you use your Pandora/Pyra today/the last few days

    Honestly, the disassembly is extremely easy. I'd recommend watching the Pyra assembly video ED posted on YT a few years ago. Heck, go back and watch all of the videos, lots of good details in them. The hardest part is by FAR the hinge, getting that friction hinge part to collapse without...

    Reflashing eMMC not working with "install" images?

    Noted! I tried to update the wiki, but for some reason it just throws me an error when I try to submit that the server connection failed.
