Upload in progress... takes two hour or more :-(
The Image is based on the "Complete RPi SD card image" offered by ROOL. Is a zipped 4GB card image with any Pandora additionals. Should also work with a Beagleboard but the Screenresolution is 800x480 as default.

Next stable 5.30 is out now. Has anyone an interest for the Pandora port?
My Pandora is working well with 5.30 but I'm not sure how many people also use RISC OS on the Pandora.
The new WiFi driver not working here :-( so the main improvement is not available for the Pandora.
Short update. PyraKey now works as it should.
Briefly described:
The left NUB is used for mouse movement, the right one for the scroll wheel (only the window over which the mouse pointer is positioned scrolls).
The mouse buttons are as follows:
Select := left NUB pressed
Adjust := right NUB...
Stable was never the problem ;) No Pyra-keyboard was it and no working LCD is it :'(
Latest changes... Pyra keyboard is working, second SD card also.
LCD takes a bit longer...
Thanks for your feedback.
For me normally it boots without problems. Today I had probems with an USB Stick plugged and boot fails.
Any times it needs Linuxboot or remove Akku. I'm not sure what the reason is. Write to / read from CMOS is one of the things that bring an unknown state sporadically.
Good question. Try the Image and you will find something like this. ;-)
I boot from eMMC. You see my iconset. Is a bit different to the Alpha but the BattMon is the same.
Is a "Desktop-Pyra" only. LCD and Keyboard support not working at this time.
The sparkfun BattSitter use the same...
Refurbish is not the right word ;)

Probably the wrong thread here ;-)I would like to try RISC OS from emmc, but I'm afraid that if it fails, I will no longer have access to the Pyra.Can the emmc be changed? Like the Pinebook, is it socketed and easy to change? I have some Pinebook emmc modules here in the craft box.
Thanks for your offer. I will come back to it.
At this time it is a bit fiddly to use RISC OS. It works only on "self powered devices". There is no power output on hdmi and usb.
The GPIO-Expander-Chip that gives the power are not work correct in RISC OS. Many usb and hdmi devices need the...
With Lapdock HDMI is working. There is a problem with HDMI and USB power. Looks like is off. Not sure how we can activate.
With activ components all is working...
The Benchmarks are a bit better.
Not sure what you mean...
In an older post I wrote the Benchmarks with the Linux executable RISC OS...

Step by step. There is now also a desktop (at this time only "standard settings") via Displaylink. My old SD card seems a bit slow. Where graphics acceleration is needed, Displaylink is a bit slow (Titanium (also OMAP5) has the same GPU like the Pyra and give 195% rectangle copy) ;-) But it...
Slowly, very slowly. The Pyra is a bitchy beast (Willi's words).
RISC OS working without display but I can now control RISC OS on the Pyra via the serial console.
It is a lot of work to do ...
