    Sd On Dma Or Cpu-Driven ?

    can the system read large blocks of SD data while the CPU is doing other things or the CPU needs to keep close watch on the hardware during transfers ?

    How Easy It Is To Type On?

    its still smaller and lighter than a laptop, and separately its easier to fit. Pandora in a pocket, keyboard in a backpack, suitcase, bag, trunk, whatever. pull out the Pandora for quick notes / games. if you need to do some more serious typing bring out the USB keyboard, much cheaper and...

    Dirty Secret

    geek humor at its best hrm ... for a good laugh, if anyone remember: The Phantom this had all the red flags of VaporWare.

    Octobers New Status, It Means?

    its been said that the USB OTG port cannot supply the Pandora enough current while running to keep the battery charged, even less if you have an extra USB HDD (it might make the battery last longer tho), you'd need to plug the extra battery pack into the 5V 2A plug to supply enough current to...

    Surely The Case Moulds Should Be Done By Now ?

    lets see; electricity, fire, smoke, explosions ... nah, no one would like to see that would they ? if you added some broken glass on the floor into the mix you'd probably get some known actor to walk barefoot thru all that spewing one-liners :P do you know if it was a power spike or...

    New Video From Mweston

    no one can confirm that that's why its an overclock: its higher than it should be so there's no guarantee. its not guaranteed to work at 800Mhz, its LIKELY to work above 600Mhz. TI says: cpu works fine up to 600Mhz that's it. 600Mhz guaranteed, not 800Mhz, not 720Mhz, not 601Mhz, not even...

    Diy Sdxc Mod

    for extra points add a patch to the SD/SDHC drivers that makes an annoying click every 3 seconds or so when there's no cards in the "drive"

    New Pandora Website!

    the new website is really nice in the photo section, someone who's new to Pandora and doesn't know that its a rough prototype case might think its the real thing. seeing this thinking its the real Pandora casing would definitely scare me from buying one: a big bold "<--- PROTOTYPE CASING"...

    Mould Creation Time

    I never said Chinese products are bad, please don't put words in my mouth. I was mentioning things that theoretically could go bad with plastic case production, what I said is valid for production in any country.

    Mould Creation Time

    they could use cheaper plastic or gradually wrong injection pressure or cooling time due to cheaper staff or sub-contracting maybe ? I'm trying to offset the "nothing could go wrong" bad luck :D its tempting to insert a Confirmed: Pandora will cost a million dollars

    A/v Cables Have Arrived!

    its very likely to go pfffftzap! pure water (not tap water, but real pure H2O) would be fine, light tap water or rain might be survivable if you're lucky, just about anything else is very likely to mess it up and fry the whole thing if it ever get into contact with the regulator circuit. what...

    Portable External Battery - 18000 Mah

    I think its pretty funny geek humor. its also a fun satire on how some marketing and news outlets can twist facts and quotes. I've been laughing out loud at at least half of those ridiculously "confirmed!" distorted quotes. those jokes are short, aren't over-shadowing the threads and are fairly...

    A/v Cables Have Arrived!

    it looks like a power regulator circuit so it might be good advice. changing a capacitor or resistor value by touching it might send higher voltage to the chips. (still curious about what the 2nd line says tho :) )

    Admiration

    there's you go, just find some way to VNC to a PS3 and you'll have PS3 emulation on Pandora, you just need a PS3 "coprocessor add-on" that happens to be as costly as a PS3 and looks oddly like it... but getting back on the topic: good job guys with the work so far.

    Mould Creation Time

    oooh, that might explain why a few USB drives/devices I have fail with Linux when I transfer large files but works fine for small ones copied one-by-one, and also works fine with windows. I'll try daisy chaining a couple of USB hubs to somewhat increase latency and see if it helps, might be too...

    A/v Cables Have Arrived!

    great job guys, I love how NOT flimsy the s-video cable seem. good choice of thin cheaper RCA cable that are unlikely to break (multi-strand coax wire is quite resistant to bending fatigue) and the much more robust s-video one. short of cats and other pets it looks like it'll last forever.

    Wrist Strap, Case, Expansion?

    nothing a properly cooled transistor or two can't take care of. you just have to find an adequate power source and make sure to filter the motor with a capacitor in parallel to it. with a proper filter circuit you could even have both the LED and motor on the same PWM output with the...

    Qemuonarm

    yes, it would work for statically linked executables. but most executables on most Linux systems are dynamically linked, libraries are loaded as needed and library function calls are also linked as needed. in effect, most x86 Linux executables are self-modifying (the LD library does the...
