AFAIK this requirement actually needs to be actively negotiated over the data lines.More or less this puts a retroactive requirement on USB 2.0 - which is admittedly weird.

(strike-through by me, assuming that's a leftover from last year :^) )
I'd assume that would be sufficient for you.
To power on the Pyra? it's a button just above the Start button.Will there be a slider or switch on the Pyra?
It better give some dialog before shutting it off!To power on the Pyra? it's a button just above the Start button.
Fruedian autocorrect...Uhh... I meant to say shutting off, not s**tting off, I swear!
LOL, I'm tired!Fruedian autocorrect...
No, just for software use. On the N900, for example, it locks/unlocks the screen.To power on the Pyra? it's a button just above the Start button.
Well what I seen there is no keyboard lock/hold switch like that.No, just for software use. On the N900, for example, it locks/unlocks the screen.
On the Pyra, I would see a switch being useful to lock/unlock the externally accessible controls.
Momentarily pressing it while it's on could lock the keyboard, and holding it for 5 seconds could start shutdown like on Pandora.Well what I seen there is no keyboard lock/hold switch like that.
I'd say that with modern (4.x) Linux kernels you can expect in practice that it almost always worksPlume said:Shouldn't handling missing controllers gracefully be the base case ?
In theory yes, but in practice it's not something you can expect always to work.
Only if you use the right DTB...Most components are connected through I2C (and 3G/4G through USB) and if they are not installed on a PCB, the driver is simply not loaded
But still many DTBs and all the trouble to load the right one.So there is a single kernel for all variations of installed components ED is thinking of.
That's be a support nightmare for novice users who buy one and don't know how to do stuff like that.I'd be perfectly happy if all the official support for Pyra was small RAM/eMMC and I had to jump through hoops to enable the bigger sizes... just saying.
So don't allow novice users to buy the high-end model?That's be a support nightmare for novice users who buy one and don't know how to do stuff like that.
There is a single DTB that defines the union of all components and drivers that can maximally be available. I.e. the completely populated Pyra boards. If a component described there is not available, it will try to load the driver, and run the probe() function. Probe will not find the chip and further on, the extra information in the DTB is ignored.Only if you use the right DTB...
